| 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,... |

| For the long term, I wonder if there is any prospect of a lawsuit in the EU against Microsoft for engaging in anti-competitive and monopolistic practices by forcing hardware vendors to use UEFI. (I hold out zero hope that any lawsuit against MS would succeed in the US, for obvious reasons.) I am no... |

| 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 ... |

| Just goes to show how different everyone is. A separate home < 10GB would be "Why bother?" to me. Even back 10 years ago I'd use a 6GB root & 20GB home. But it's an easy enough change to make if we let Warren know folks aren't happy with it. And I use a 15 GB root and whatever is left... |

| Mepis has been a KDE distro ever since I can remember. If KDE is disliked there are many other distros that will fill the bill. So to choose Mepis and say I hate KDE is puzzling to me. |

| I have a few things/howtos I'd like to discuss about M12/13 beta 1 that are really nothing that would effect Warren's work. How about starting an M12/13 Help section as with M11 etc? I don't want to make this thread even longer with stuff that is not applicable to trouble shooting the beta. I think... |

| 3.5.4.2 is the version in the Beta. Copy/paste works for me multiple times until I copy something else. But i do not hit enter, I choose another cell with the mouse right click and paste. As long as the copy cell has the dashed animated border multiple pastes are active. |
