* i have done this is my extremely tight schedule ( infact did this in my lunch break) so if you see any errors. please post them in comments :) *

Well since you asked for corrections, here are the two most obvious ones:

Tired of not knowing how to install Linux?

Tired of downloading Linux and not being able to install it?

Just grammar I'm afraid. I will look at the video later. :)

good work

[Alex Shenoy]

I say make one for gentoo. Or LFS.

Anyway, I am not able to download the video yet(campus bandwidth cap). And I use gentoo. I will say good job. But I think more people need a how-to for after they install linux. I would make a video showing how to edit stuff and use linux. That way more people stay with linux than just install it and use windows.

^ other(after linux) video tutorials u say eh? ofcourse, they are coming up :D

[JimmyT]

Great! Now make a video on how to install Wine, and install an application there (ie ms office) and how to bypass the message saying that you have to get administrator rights in order to do this, although you ARE already the one and only administrator of the system.

Make another video on how to configure the X system again if you did something that screwed your installation and can't load linux any more. (I changed 1 font and I got some weird messages on boot, then "X failed" and then "System Halted"). Something SO simple as changing a font destroyed completely my linux. It reminds me of Windows 3.1! Even worse than win3.1. The only way to config was by a text-based configurator, and I had to put horizontal and vertical freequencies for the monitor, DAC ???MHz for graphics card. After doing this configuration I had to format because it completely ruined everything. (That was on Suse and Mandrake installations)

^ you are deeply hurt by linux arent you :p

:yawn: the list of request are going to flood i guess. i will try my best.

[JimmyT]

awww...linux likes people. linux likes you. linux says try again.

:yes:

[Lechio]

tutorial videos are a pretty good ideia and may provide a geat

deal of help for people wanting to try out Linux :)

Just have 2 things to notice:

What codec did you used for the videos?

Don't know if it is just me but it doesn't allow to timeseek (advance and retro on the video).

Last video takes too long doing nothing, a bit of cutting on some parts would not hurt it.

I'd like to see one for Debian. The last couple of times I tried to intall that distro I somehow mananged to screw it up. Other distributions I've gotten to work, but not Debian.

[thechitowncubs]

Personally, i think installing linux is the easiest part of it... but gentoo is another story.

Can you make a video tutorial:

How to mount a new (internal or external) NTFS formated HDD to the system, without modifying the MBR or the data on that disk.

I know that when installing Linux, all HDDs are there and there are icons on the desktop for each disk, and there is automounting function when you click on an icon.

But if I connect my WindowsXP hard drive after the installation of linux (in case you're wondering why I did that, I did it because I didn't want to lose any data from my WinXP drive, or change anything on the MBR of this drive), I can't see the drive anywhere as an icon, and I don't know which /dev/hdXX it is... And I don't want to lose any files from this HDD.

Can you make a video tutorial about it?

[kyro]

yup jimmy can do and i know this thing people always wonder. (can be done or not , if yes how?)

lets see ;)
