What do you mean by F8? Grub can start windows just fine here, ##### /boot/grub/menu.lst GRUB configuration file.

That was a four-er! Good effort!

Is that your personal best? I've heard the record is eight. Can anyone confirm that?

I got a seven once, but Nymnal's impotent and dire threats should count extra.

My favorite is his post where he threatened to invoke his special federal "pull" to get the G-men after me, in the same post where he made death threats against me...

He constantly challenges people to physical encounters. When I ask him where I should meet him, he says "southern California." Whatta man!

John

Nah, that's a gimme.

That part was funny. I'd like to see the statute that gives special importance to "stalking the employee of a contractor". Makes me laugh again just typing this. Nymbecile *is* a joke.

I find it funny that this is what makes your pathetic little world go around.

Bwuahahahahahahahahha! You are such a loser. Do you make posts this lame in other groups too, you kook f*ck?

He is a liar, and you are a retarded twit for jumping onto their retarded bandwagon like the little follow the flock pussified sheep that you are.

rote:

You are obviously unaware of the long reach that the DHS now has.

In other words, Williams, you are clueless about it. No surprise.

Then, there are those factions that would address his stalking behavior far more seriously than I do.

I *know* that the stupid f*ck doesn't have the capacity to be anything more than harmless. Like a circus flea. Like you. The factions I mention, however, would not take it very lightly. He could very easily find himself the target of close scrutiny.

Well, at least he gave you a starting point!

Jamie

I *do* know what a short reach you have. They don't call you "Little John" because your name is John.

AlwaysWrong.

Go for it, Little John. You're always good for a laugh.

You do seem to get worked up by the harmless, Little John.

Sheep are dumb, not intelligent. Pussified sheep are dumb and act like they "follow intelligence". You fail miserably at it.

Well, that could be true how ever, I follow the intelligence and you?

Jamie

If anyone in authority looked at your posts here, and knew who you really are, I'd expect you'd lose any clearances, and maybe any jobs, you have now. And you know it, which is why you hide behind nyms.

So you won't run to mommy and complain about the bad boys who have insulted you here. You wouldn't dare. It was cowardly, and stupid, to even suggest it.

John

But you're SUCH fun to play with, Mr Nymbecile.

Ok, then that means you fall down into the ameba level. Sub level at that.

Jamie.

Yep.

I can run windows just fine. I've used Grub to do dual and tri boots over the years. But currently I can't get the F8 (windows safe mode) to work when booting with grub. It used to work, so I think some default has changed. No big deal, I can google for a solution. I just thought I'd ask.

Sorry, I am no MS windows expert, as you may have guessed. Now vaguely remember F8 safe mode. I DO remember it worked in my setup with grub in xp, as I had endless attempts to get xp to behave, I used safe mode several times IIRC. But xp got terribly confused, even after a re-install, to the point where it would declare my Logitech mouse to be a MS mouse, and cursor all over the screen. I have indeed suspected that it perhaps keeps configuration data in a place that grub uses or overwrites when modifying its entries. I could not do without grub, but I could burn my xp disk. That fixed the problem and got rid of that irritating MS POS. In things work better without xp and with Linux. And no silly MS advertising stickers on MY PC.
