<0> since you appear to lack basic reading skills
<1> i want to burn backup files on dvd9. Do i use "udf" or "udf/iso"?
<2> redhook, thanks for the help
<3> lol
<2> I'll just buy the full version of XP.
<4> oem is the full version
<2> Sorry about my confusion, but seifried got me sidetracked.
<4> its cheaper because you're responsible for support and its non-transferable
<2> Is what I was aiming for with this correct, or is seifried just trying to be a ****?
<5> mpeg9150: dvd's aren't iso... afaik
<4> you can have dvd iso images
<4> ISO stands for International Standards Organization btw
<2> redhook, if any hardware in this computer changes drastically, I'd have to buy a new version of Windows correct?
<5> that is just like exe... windows has PE and dos doesn't
<4> darkcmd: no
<5> darkcmd: no, just call them
<2> ok
<4> call and say you added new hardware
<1> when i put 8.5 gigs of **** in an iso it tells me I cannot make it because there is a 2gig limit
<4> just use udf then
<2> Is anyone in here a part of the legit Vista Beta test?
<4> the public test is about to start
<4> you can sign up for it already
<5> I haven't got my hands on vista
<2> Is there a page?
<4> yeah, its linked off microsoft.com/vista
<2> alright :)
<5> so, will there be ppc drivers in vista... I know my verizon isn't going to make them
<4> man, I cant use aero with my laptop
<2> Not trying to start a flamewar, but the amount of DRM in Vista from what I've read Alarms me.
<2> alarms*
<4> DRM is never a good thing
<2> I'm a firm believer in fair use.
<4> if I buy a movie, video or music I want to use it on anydevice I please
<5> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/default.mspx <-- tells me it will eat a good gig of ram
<2> it runs on older hardware great I hear also.
<2> You just don't get all the graphical effects.
<4> yeah, MS likes to **** up your system resources
<4> yeah, aero requires 128mb video ram
<2> @_@
<4> OSX doesnt require that much and it looks great and is responsive
<2> It's called efficient code ;)
<5> darkcmd: the problem is, a lot of features (like in xp) you can't turn off
<2> yeah
<2> I have mine set to disable all the graphical effects.
<2> and I use the Windows Cl***ic (tm) theme
<5> doesn't matter for me, but I think more of my resources should go to the app's I run, not a pretty GUI
<2> exactly
<5> wow, police... that is rare
<2> redhook, I read this license, seifried seems to be incorrect.
<4> ?
<2> I can distribute the OEM CD with PCs I build.
<4> yes
<4> you need to get an OEM copy for each pc though
<2> yes
<5> no, own a lic
<2> The end-user of the machines must get support from me.
<4> Dry-ice: that volume license you're thinking of
<2> also
<4> yep
<5> you can make your own OEM media
<4> Dry-ice: I hate restore discs
<2> me also
<5> so do I, but it's cheaper
<4> Dry-ice: how is it cheaper?
<2> does the support mean support of the OS, i.e. just Windows itself
<4> you have to make one for each configuration you make
<2> I don't have to provide support for the 3rd party apps the user runs I hope
<4> and you still have to purchase the OEM license which comes with media
<2> which would make no sence what so ever
<4> darkcmd: nope, just XP
<2> good
<2> I'm drumming up ideas for a companion disk I provide with the PC, that includes, AVG, Firefox, Spyware removal tools and such
<2> that the user can can install
<5> redhook: you can make a custom PE install that work on many pc's. I have all the cd's to do it now
<4> darkcmd: make sure you're allowed to redistribute those programs first
<2> redhook, if the user that buys my PC, decides to add their own hardware, they'd be the ones to call Microsoft themselves right?
<4> no
<2> ok
<4> as a system builder you ***ume responsibility for support of the copy of XP that you included
<2> ok
<4> you dont have to support hardware they add though
<2> so if they open up the box, and put stuff in
<5> darkcmd: you can say you don't support third party hard/software
<6> i need the windows equivalent of this command "du -k | sort -n -r"
<4> you can say that adding hardware voids their support
<2> ok
<6> anyone know?
<4> you can also decide to only give them 3 months support
<4> or none at all
<2> since I'm just starting up, I'll continue support, so I get a good reputation
<7> hello
<6> i need the windows equivalent of this linux command "du -k | sort -n -r"
<2> JPC1976, first you could let some people in here that aren't familliar with UNIX like systems, what that would do.
<2> let them know i mean
<4> du shows usage
<4> dir /s <--- similar
<6> what does the /s do?
<6> nice!
<6> thanks
<4> search
<2> sort probably prints the information in a certain way
<6> yeah
<6> it goes into to the directories
<6> now...how to sort by filesize
<6> windows has a sort command
<8> /o e
<5> JPC1976: you don't know there are native win32 ports of most standard unix tools ?
<8> dir /o e <- sorts by extention
<4> ?? cygwin
<9> cygwin == Cygwin is a linux API for Win32. Get it at http://www.cygwin.com
<5> no, cygwin ****s
<10> !g unixutils
<11> Did you mean: unix utils ? || Native Win32 ports of some GNU utilities @ http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ |
<10> there you get native win32 ports of the most usefull unix tools
<5> http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
<7> is there a way to shutdown windows faster than it does?
<10> cadsmack, yes, find out what is slowing it down
<10> and then disable/uninstall it
<5> cadsmack: pull the plug ?
<10> heh
<7> a very agressive kill process that is a little more messy or something?
<7> hehe
<2> isn't there a shutdown command?
<10> xp shuts down in under 10 seconds here... and even faster on my notebook
<10> how fast do you need your shutdown? O.o
<4> darkcmd: yeah, it does the same thing as clicking shutdown
<7> like near instantaneous
<10> that isn't possible for a modern operating system
<4> hold the power button in for 3-5 seconds
<12> redhook any idea when I go to search on startup it says some **** about placing a shortcut?
<7> hmm
<10> the os has to sync disks, and stop services/apps first
<4> [Neo]: nope
<7> operating without a paging file or disk cache
<10> if you would not do that, you would risk dataloss or even worse
<7> hmm
<5> the only time you should have long shutdowns is if you did a lot of file addition or deletion
<7> I think this has turned into a linux question
<10> or if you have a buggy driver/service running
<12> redhook is there another place to find search
<12> besides on the start menu
<4> [Neo]: winkey+s
<4> err, winkey+f
<12> sweet
<12> thank you
<12> also
<4> np
<12> is there a way to find the biggest file on my pc
<5> ctrl+f on any explorer windows
