Re: [PLUG] Walmart Lindows Box - impression


i didn't pay for anything from lindows. i put the lindows hdd in another
computer and put a hdd tray in the walmart box, so i can swap hdd's for
different tests i'm running.

although, curiously enough, i can only mount the /boot partition of the
lindows hdd. the other partion wont mount, even though fdisk says its type 83.
