Making Linux Mint 7 work even better!
Darren:
I want to share my CD drive on my main laptop with another laptop that has no CD drive across the network.
I have done this in Windows but can seem to set the cdrom to share in Linux .... just files, same with hard drives, can't set the whole HD just the files inside?
Any ideas?

TS (Dave) mill link no worky :bugeye: ................. have you got a CNC jobbie :thumbup:
OK I'll not mention the "headroom" issue again ::) ................ but let's be honest ............. we all had a good laugh mate :lol:
as for "Sun VirtualBox" .............. I've downloaded and installed it (after a restore point), then installed Linux Mint 7 (I think ............ :smart: ........... the green box thingie appears anyway) .................. but after that I must confess to being hopelessly lost ..... :scratch: ............. like was said earlier, I was far more at home with DOS 20 years or so ago :med:
any suggestions :poke: gratefully received :bang:

No, not CNC (yet) http://www.amadeal.co.uk/acatalog/XJ20.html I think Chester sell the same machine
er "green box thingy" is that the Mint 7 splash boot screen? once you have installed the os in VBox you should be able to just click start and it will boot up as if it is a fresh install on a seperate machine.

Green box is on screen but as yet I can't progress from there .......... :bang: ........... if I right click it tells me I can capture the host machine pointer :scratch:
sorry, out of my comfort zone here :coffee:

I am going to go a bit :offtopic: here.
I would just like to say that my new machine is now up and running as smooth as a baby's bum.
It has only taken 4 days. Mainly because of incompatibility of drivers and programs. There does seem to be a big difference between XP pro and XP 64 bit pro. Due to a lot of websearching, I have even managed to replace my old trusted programs that I couldn't live without, with new all singing all dancing modern stuff.
I am just waiting for the 1TB drive to turn up, and I can get all my archives transferred across. Only then will I feel comfortable enough to get back into posting in any depth.
The only thing I can't get my head around is firewalls, totally confusing, so now when I leave the machine running unattended, I am going to clamp the drive data cable with a hand vice, that should stop the viruses getting thru.
So the circle is now complete, it is up to yourselves to sort your problems out.
