| |
| − |
| |
| − | I first installed [http://www.kubuntu.org/ Kubuntu] 5.10 (Breezy). I wanted
| |
| − | to keep Windoze, just in case I needed it (but I never use it ;) ), and keep
| |
| − | the [[Hidden Protected Area|hidden protected area]], and be able to reach it at startup, just in case I sell the laptop back at some point. My problem was that:
| |
| − | * [[GRUB|GRUB]] has to be installed either in the [[Master Boot Record|MBR]] or in the first partition
| |
| − | * Windoze would only work being on the first partition (AFAIK)
| |
| − | * Putting GRUB in the MBR would overwrite the original setup/recovery tools (AFAIK - Note: if you do this, and later manage to start Windoze, it will rewrite the MBR anyway)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | My solution:
| |
| − | * Create a new primary partition for Windoze, at the end of the disk, before the rescue partition. Copy windoze there.
| |
| − | * Modify windows {{path|boot.ini}}:
| |
| − | {{cmduser|diff /windows/boot.ini /windows/boot.ini~}}

| − | * Enable scrolling and keep functionality of mouse 2 button. For the moment I'm using button 2 to scroll, and emulating 2=1+3 to paste. See the "InputDevice" section in my [[User:Gagliol/xorg.conf|xorg.conf]]
