31 May '06

I have two hard disks. THe hard disk which is connected as slave has grub on its mbr. and has a windows xp installation, running along with ubuntu 5.10. The other disk(connected as master) has only a windows xp installation. I want to be able to boot into either of these 3 os installations (ubuntu and xp on slave and xp on master) from the grub. So i made the slave hard disk as my 1st boot device. Now i can boot into xp and ubuntu of the slave deive easily. But when i try and boot into the xp installation of the master disk, it boots into the xp installation of slave only. The entry for the master xp installation in menu.lst is as follows root (hd1,0) makeactive savedefaults chainloader +1 I have added this entry myself. COuld anyone suggest what the problem could be?? -- Puneet

opensource projects for training trainees ...
by Steven Joseph 31 May '06

31 May '06

why cant companies give development hands on practice by making trainees work on some opensource project. That way the trainees can get to see some real community approved style of coding. That will improve their coding skills and technique also. Its like the trainees having the whole opensource community as mentors.. till they are ready to work on internal projects that is. After which it depends on the company policy whatever. Steven -- Life would have been a lot more easier if we could look at the source code.
