someone mentioned that their sidux install does not work after installing pardus. It may just have been the boot manager, Sidux needs to use its Sidux boot manager.

Shame, you said that the installer took 30 miunutes? Well, in my ancient system, it took the installer more than an hour to do it. However, as soon as the system was up and running it rewarded me with the most elegant desktop I have yet experienced in a Linux! I choose the orange background and transparent panel/taskbar.

Like you multimedia support is most important requirement for me. Second most important is out-of-the-box support for all partitions on my hard drives. Nothing is more frustrating for a newbie like me than to look for my Windows partitions and not find them or to mount them and get permission denied error WITHOUT telling what I might do to mount them.

Pardus 2008 delivers beautifully. It has all I really need the most for day to day computing so repository size is not that important to me.

Wouldn’t surprise me about Vista. Heck, I was pleasantly surprised that it coexisted with Linux in the first place

Could be that the problem with the Sidux partition could have been fixed, but it wasn’t fixable by following the manual fsck procedure that it asked me to do during boot, and I don’t know enough to know otherwise what to try.

I’m at the point with Linux where I can install, use, and tinker with it a bit, but if something tosses a serious wobbler it’s format time…. much like my early days with Win98 for that matter :LOL:

I set up all of my partitons back in january, 10 GB root and 30GB home with I can’t remember how much swap space (4GB I believe) so I didnt bother with the disk partitioner in Pardus.
Strange what happened with sidux though but doesn’t vista allways get nerfed when you try to shrink the Partition or have they fixed that now?

anyways thanks for the heads up I allways use the latest Gparted anyway

The only trouble I had with Pardus 2008 is that the disk partitioner pooched my other operating systems.

I’ve a test machine with Vista and Sidux installations. I opted to shrink both my NTFS and EXT3 partitions to make room for Pardus and perhaps another OS on my little 80gig drive.

Vista would not boot afterwards, citing missing files, and Sidux could not get past an fsck, citing an inconsistency in the superblock size / corrupted partition table.

So be warned that Pardus may not play well with others and that you should use GParted or similar if your drive needs preparation for multibooting.

I’ve since redone my Sidux install. Vista can wait, because I’m not all too keen to learn about all of the new and annoying wizards anyway.
