http://www.mindfuliterations.com/articles/2007/12/16/installed-sidux-whee en-us 40 I'm just a girl, standing in front of some code, asking it to compile. <p>So, now I&#39;m running Sidux, which is notably faster than Ubuntu.</p><p>&nbsp;I&#39;m on the 2.6.23.9 Kernel.&nbsp; I did have some issues installing, as the installer did not write Grub&#39;s menu entry properly. It couldn&#39;t find my root partition and it kept telling me that job control was turned off, along with an intramfs prompt.&nbsp;</p><p>After examining the entry in the grub menu, I discovered that it left the uuid blank for root.&nbsp; So, after trying to put the uuid in, and it failing miserably, I changed it to reflect root=/my/device.</p><p>Booted up perfectly after that.</p><p>There are a few things I need to tweak, but overall, I&#39;m pretty satisfied.&nbsp; One of the niceties of installing this was that the install took all of 8 1/2 minutes.&nbsp; Not bad. :)</p><p>If you&#39;re interested in checking out sidux, you can <a href="http://www.sidux.com/" target="_blank">go to sidux&#39; home page</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>I have my /home stuff on a separate partiiton which means all my settings have been retained.&nbsp; Anyway, enough blogging about this - I&#39;m going to explore my system. :)&nbsp; Next step - apt-get install ruby :)&nbsp;</p> Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:03:00 -0600 urn:uuid:744dd248-0f2d-4b5b-a240-7c2ac99f4a05 samantha http://www.mindfuliterations.com/articles/2007/12/16/installed-sidux-whee linux sidux http://www.mindfuliterations.com/articles/trackback/149
