Hi,

This is the location on my Crunchbang insallation:
/home/<user>/.config/chromium/Default

I expect Chrome would have the same location

To see it you have to enable  view of hidden files

Hi,

I am no expert in this but if you have not tried it before then you could look at
GParted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php
and check if the boot flag is set on the HDD

Hi

You could try  Clonezilla http://clonezilla.org/
In the past I have used (Clonezilla Live) a few times and had no problems

You can also look at Partimage http://www.partimage.org/ although never used it

Mark, I can see what you mean however as it is a festive season
it might be worth trying the Mint and Cinnamon cake...

Any more news on MATE?
Interesting new development at Mint: Cinnamon http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=205&t=89411&start=0
It looks like they have forked the shell of Gnome 3 to give a Gnome 2 appearance.
Can't wait to see how this pans out.

OK, Had a quick look on that link and found precisely 12 linux OS By HP and 3 off Apple OS X
out of 129, the rest was Windows (with In stock disabled)

I agree with the need for the education to be educated in respect of other Operating Systems.
Some   have already taken steps to try to break the vendor lock in.

I was running LMDE happily on my main machine when a recent update brought all the Gnome 3 goodness.
On next reboot I was greeted by a Gnome 3 Shell desktop. Needless to say that it did not last long
as I switched to the XFCE version.

I am looking forward to your update as I am curious to see how this compromise will work out.

I have a Celeron 400 (originally came with win98) which I have been using as
a headless server for the last 3 years, now running Ubuntu server edition 10.04 Lts

File Server (samba)
Music straming (mediatomb)
Proxy (squid)
DNS + DHCP (dnsmasq)
Local only web server for testing (apache)

Got the idea from LXF102 back in 2008
Certainly worth looking around for old PC's which you cannot run windows anymore
