| Copy the contents of your old Fx xxxxxx.default file into the new Iceweasel yyyyyy.default file, overwriting all. Your new browsing environment should then be (nearly) identical to the old. Good advice. I learned another trick. I keep my ~/.directories in a separate partition, such as ~/.mozilla ~/... |

| I am not sure how that is any different from forcing hardware vendors to use NTFS or any other of the systems MS uses. It would be an interesting case. It's not the same at all. The fact that Windows uses NTFS doesn't prevent you from wiping the HDD and installing Linux with EXT3, EXT4 or whatever,... |

| Remember Warrens' cautionary statement that the beta is rough. I am confident he will correct bugs he sees and take findings and suggestions under consideration that are delineated in this thread. So, I would suggest that anyone not take things as "that is the way it is", and continue the... |

| Although this thread has gotten a bit "off-topic" I still find the UEFI comments very interesting. From zeeone's post, it seems that what is needed is a reliable non-Microsoft UEFI boot loader. Logically, wouldn't installing GRUB2 on root and chain loading into MEPIS using a third-party UE... |

| @JimC I wouldn't assume that M12 won't have an UEFI solution -- it just won't have one right away. Warren said he's working on it. He spent months and months on a solution without much success; I believe he felt it would be better to ship the Wheezy-based M12 for the benefit of us who don't have Mic... |

| I think this thread is appropriate for all beta related questions and suggestions. We can set up an M12 section when it goes final While I agree that this thread is appropriate for beta-related questions and suggestions, I also see a fair number of general comments and testimonials, which are nice ... |

| Did he ever let us know the specs of the machine(s) he bought. What kind of graphics do Mac's use? Many Macs use NVidia graphics. The Mac Forum used to have posts from lots of people who had NVidia cards that overheated and failed. Apple even had a recall on them. I don't know if all Macs still use... |

| What about asking Warren if he wanted to include that in msystem? If you're referring to kmathern's script, I'd say it would be a great idea. I don't know too much about that script, but I assume it runs some checks to prevent people from installing drivers that aren't compatible with their chipset... |

| He's talking about a script that I created that installs the Debianized nvidia driver (nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx, etc.) http://forum.mepiscommunity.org/viewtopic.php?p=317045#p317045 btw, I'm glad to see that someone besides me is finally getting enthusiastic about the Debianized nvidia d... |

| Hmm... I used the script for installing nvidia described in this thread, and it worked great. I didn't get a follow up "nag" from synaptic. I have an 8xxx series card. I wonder why the outcomes were / are different? Probably operator error on my end! :p Are we talking about NVidia's insta... |
