Q. Ok, I made a crunchbang bootable usb with unetboot, that garbage program corrupted the ISO so as of now I have no OS on my HDD. I am able to do a live boot but the install always causes a faulty boot. I do have a copy of the ISO on an other pen drive and a blank 2gig stick but don't know how to go about creating a new bootable flash drive. I searched online and asked for help on the forum and absolutely nothing has come in. Thank-you in advanced!!!!!!
A. If I understand you correctly, you are able to boot using your bootable USB, but just fail to install on your HDD...is this correct? This may be because unetbootin trying to do a Frugal Install, which modifies an existing booting script (whether it was windows or Linux), copying the contents of the ISO onto the drive and trying to boot as if form a CD using these files.
I presume you do not have a CD and you just want to fix things with what you currently have.
Try this:
1) boot into your live environment
2) ensure that your hdd is formatted the way you want to using parted or gparted or whatever is available in your live environment
3) on a console type
grub-install /dev/hda (if hda is where you want the stuff to go)
4) now try your frugal install
5) if this fails you will have to manually copy the files in your ISO onto your hard drive, and use instructions on this website...http://wlug.org.nz/GrubNotes passing the appropriate parameters for vmlinux and initramd and root
The quickest way to get an OS onto the drive is to use puppylinux...

Why does CrunchBang Linux (stable) only show that I have 497m of RAM when I have 512m?
Q. I have 512m of RAM on my laptop...I checked the BIOS, and it shows that I do...But my OS, which is CrunchBang, only shows that I have 497m. Is this a bug? Does this mean that the rest of the RAM isn't available to me?
How do I fix this?
Sorry...I thought m was sufficient for mb. So, since I activated my graphics card drivers and my graphics card is up and running, shouldn't that mean that that RAM should go back to my system?

A. Some of your RAM is dedicated to the video/graphics chip most likely.
Linux Sound Question? Crunchbang and Mint?
Q. I have a Dell XPS M1210. I dualboot XP and Linux Mint 6. Also, I have recently run a live CD for crunchbang. In XP and Crunchbang sound works well, and sounds great. In Mint, I get sound, but the sound is crackly. I know it isn't the hardware, because it sounds great on 2 other OSes. Any Ideas?
A. Here is the Official Sound and Sound Troubleshooting Documentation
