I'm trying to install linux on an old cyrix 6-86 based pc (BIOS, is set to cdfirst boot device and it does boot from an xp cd)
I downloaded and burnt a copy of debian amd64 netinstall iso image (using xp so I don't know if it downloaded in binary or not) I thought from what I read on the download pages that this should be a bootable cd once finnished. Did I need to burn additional files to the cd to make it bootable. A simple answer appreciated or links to simple linux pages, just because I can assemble the ingredients doesn't make me a cheff

I want to clean out my closet and get rid of stuff but I don't know where to start. I know the rule about if you haven't worn it in 6 months, get rid of it. However I've run into a problem with that. I was injured (my back) over a year ago. Since then I've gained over 20 lbs because I can't exercise. Because I've gained weight I can't fit into a lot of my clothes that I absolutely love. In addtion, since I'm not currently working or going anywhere (& gained weight) I basically wear sweats & stuff. So I haven't worn more that 90% of my stuff in the past year. I'm hoping once I get better, I will be able to work out again & fit into my old clothes that I love so much. How do I determine what it is I should get rid of since again, most of my stuff hasn't been worn in over a year, doesn't fit me, or I don't have anywhere to wear it right now(work clothes, dress clothes etc)? I have the same problem with my shoes & purses-since I don't go out anywhere I haven't used them. HELP!!

Gravity will begin to pull the galaxies back towards the center of the universe. When this happens, every galaxy will show a blue shift in it's spectrum. Recall that a blue shift means that a galaxy is moving towards the earth.

As galaxies race back towards the center of the universe, the matter and energy will again come closer and closer to the central area. After many billions of years, all the matter and energy will be once again packed into a small area. This area may be no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. Then another Big Bang will occur. The formation of a universe will begin all over again. A universe that periodically expands and contracts on itself is called a closed universe. In a closed universe, a Big Bang may occur every 80-100 billion years.

Mine happened in high school gym class. A girl threw a basketball at me on purpose, well her aim hit me there. I dropped down, and the teacher asked if I was alright. I then sat on the side while the others played the games. I feel the first time it happens is the most unforgettable experience. What was yours?

Why do computers show the Blue Screen of Death. I'm talking for Windows XP especially and any Windows operating system in general.
Is it a virus? Or an error problem. Tell me the reason why please.

Thanks.

if we can criticize politics, cultures, social customs and ideas and a host of other things, why not religion?

and why does the koran decree execution for those who criticize or leave islam? from where did the muslim god get this right?

so does it mean that islam has a 1 way ticket which means that if you want to turn back and run away from islam you get murdered?

when will decent human beings stand up and hit back at such cowards who believe that they need to silence islam critics?
