安裝 windows XP

最近在一台已經安裝過 Fedora的 Asus P5B 上重新安裝 windows XP; 結果都會 hang 在 "Setup is inspecting your computer’s hardware configuration"之後，螢幕一片黑，然後硬碟似乎繼續動作中，時間等的再久，卻再毫無動靜，惟硬碟可能有在動作。

嘗試先安裝 ubuntu 8.04，完全沒有問題，一次搞定；但是回到 install XP, 仍然不行。

Then, I tried the followings:
0.Change the setting of IDE、ACHI、RAID ... in the BIOS, in vain.
1.Upgrade the BIOS using the TOOLS in BIOS ---> useless
2.To do item one, I need to find the boot USB and finally found out that the BIOS can access the USB directly , even there is a FreeDos partition in the AI-FLASH thumb USB disk.

3.The 1st item is uselss.
4.Then I use the ubuntu live CD to destroy the partition table. Two partitions are setup: one is the FAT32, the other is EXT3. No SWAP, no /boot, etc..
5.Back to windows XP installation ------- NOW IT WORKS.


So the windows installation CD does not like the Linux partition. That's the reason. Not the SATA driver issue at all. No need to try the IDE disk

It wastes me about 2 days.


Now I'm building the whole computer : with one NTFS partition and the others will be EXT3, EXT2 (for data), SWAP and boot . Refer to Partitioning Windows and Ubuntu

How windows access the EXT2 partition ? Using Ext2 Installable File System For Windows
This is a freeware.

Something happened to the ext2ifs --- can not see the right 中文。
Uninstall it and install ex2fsd instead : need to turn on the "Ext2 volume Manage" and change the codepage from default to utf8. Yes, windows can read the correct 中文 now..

Remote X part 2

The X client : fedora 6 : 192.168.1.100
The X server : ubuntu 7.10 --> 192.168.1.200

*xhost +192.168.1.100
ssh -X username@192.168.1.100
export DISPLAY=192.168.1.200:0.0
gimp &

then the X will be shown in local (192.168.1.200)


But the Fedora need to change the setting of gdmsetup
gdmsetup
find [Remote] -> [Style]
