Yes, but I have to do it gradually. I am still playing with the Windows Vista Beta2. I guess just to prove to myself that I don't want it.. It is great eyecandy but not much else. I can't even install a microsoft mouse because they have done drivers for it yet! It is a 5 button wheel mouse but it and the fingerprint reader won't work in Vista. Now that is what I call support, not Smilie

If I get away from windows totally what should the drive be? I have two drives, 1 is 80 gig and I will put os's on it. the other is 250 gig SATA drive where I plan to store my documents, pictures, music, backups, and firefox profile. Should it be fat32 or is there something better?

Thanks,

John

Well if you get away from windows period I would use reiserfs, whenever windows is involved you can use fat 32 for sharing both linux and windows apps

jbs1136, I have one question re running with different profile directory locations: how do you change it, I tried changing the default in firefox file, the sh one, but despite changing it there, it still goes to ./mozilla/firefox

I'd like to get a totally unconnected profile directory for my alpha going, but I can't find where the path needs to be changed to do that.

I did this under windows and want to try to do it in linux. I will you know the outcome. Will probably tackle this tomorrow after I get my sata drive set up.

John

ps in windows (and this works in linux because I set up a separate profile for the nightly called minefield in my home folder). run box, ~firefox -profilemanager

Based on some input from this forum I created a bin file in /home and installed the nightly there. Then I ran firefox -profilemanager (space before the dash and it is all one word). You can select create and then put a different name where it says default, towards the bottom you can hit a button to select the folder where you want it. I did this in windows because it was always crashing and I would reinstall it several times. This way my profile and bookmarks, passwords were safe.

oh, ok, I know that method, I was trying to change the actual location of the profile.ini file itself, so I could use firefox stable without having to run the profile manager each time, and run alpha totally separated, guess I'll have to see if it's possible to do that or not would require changing the default ./mozilla/firefox location itself, which is where the profile.ini is located, which is what sets the individual paths.

Never tried that. I know the ini file has all of the profiles listed and which one is set to open. Don't know a way around that.

I guess you could try a sys link

It *seemed* to me that reiserfs led to just a few more problems for me than ext3 (I used it up to about 4 mo. ago). I just had a vague feeling that I was getting more problems with reiserfs. Too, I like using beagle to search, and reiserfs apparently doesn't work (as well, or at all?) with that filesystem. Finally, some of the partitioning tools don't seem to handle reiserfs as well as ext3 (though this seems to change rapidly; I notice that the latest version of gparted claims it'll hangle ext3 and reiserfs equivalently).

Piper, why do you recommend one over the other? I've read conflicting reports about stability issues and the handling of meta-data.

Has anyone fooled with xfs?

Just curious!
