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

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.

-How can I put another picture beside the picture I put first?

Imagine that your computer can talk. The same computer that keeps your confidential files.

If it can talk, what will it most likely tell YOU?

I have 2 Dell D620's. One is 2 months older. Both are 2ghz. The one power supply packed up and I have to change the power supply from one to the other. On the newer laptop this message appeared, "Internal network card is inactive to save battery power." On the other nothing shows up. When I insert the power cable again into the new one it says "Internal network card is active." The answers I found speaks of servers and networking. You are brought under the impression that the internal network card has to do with normal networking. I unplugged the new one got the message to save battery power and the network to my other laptop is still working as well as surfing the internet. I broke open the broken power supply and there are 3 wires leading to a PC board. One is earth, then Volts, to power up the battery, and a third wire that says, DATA. Inside are transistors, 2 transformers, resistors and something that looks like a rolled up copper wire. What gives?

I was reading up about video cards lately, and realized that my Dell Inspiron 1501 has an integrated video card. I was very disappointed, because I wanted to upgrade the video card more than anything, but learned that it was impossible!

I was wondering if this particular PC has any slots that I can install a dedicated video card in, or how I can check. Sorry if this question seems a little noobish, but I'm trying to learn as much about computers as possible! Thank you to anyone who answers!

I was wondering if there was a feature in FireFox that required a password to open the program. I know it may seem 'weird', but it could really help me in my present predicament. I've looked around and the closest I could find was it asking for a master password to show all the remembered passwords. So thanks for your posts.
