The first time I installed Ubuntu on a computer, I was rather used to debian and went through the whole install process easily.

When I rebooted my system and open a text-console, my first action was to su – in order to gain root’s grants. What a surprise when I was promted for a password. Damn, What was it?!?

Through the installation process, I was asked to enter a username, I entered my usual username, type and confirmed my password, but I was never asked to enter the super-user root’s password!?! Read more »

In order to map media to a server from your local PC, follow the below steps.

• Have a USB2L Dongle on the Server
• Connect to the Server session screen via the DS3 Viewer
• Hover over top tool bar and choose Tools and then Virtual Media. (If Virtual media is not available, confirm you have a supported dongle on the server for this function.)
• Click Mapped next to D: drive to share any disc in your local CDROM/DVD Drive or click Add Image to map to an ISO image. Be sure to select Mapped after selecting either option.
• Do not exit, as this will remove the mapping

Booting from an ISO or DISC

Boot the server and press F2 (For Dell servers and if you want to boot from CD/ISO). Otherwise, you can skip if you just want simple drive mapping without booting.

Ensure that the Avocent virtual CDROM menu item is higher in the boot order than the local hard drive.

Here’s how to install an OS to a USB Drive and boot from it.

1. Download or save your OS installation in the form of an .IMG file
2. Now, you’ll use Image Writer for Windows (http://bit.ly/7gRu0n)
3. Launch the program by double clicking on file Win32DiskImager.exe and select the .IMG image file (from Step 1)
4. Select your USB drive letter from the drop down box
5. Click on Write

Once the writing process is complete, close the program and you can then boot from the USB drive.

From the following location, run this file:
\\Office\Install\HP Photosmart 6200 software\PS_AIO_02_Network_ENU

Select the [b:273nwagh]Advanced Install[/b:273nwagh] option.
Do not allow the program to check for updates automatically.
Select the [b:273nwagh]Custom installation [/b:273nwagh]option.
Deselect all options except the [b:273nwagh]HP Photosmart and Deskjet Drivers[/b:273nwagh] option.
Select the [b:273nwagh]Through the Network[/b:273nwagh] connection type.
During Step 3 of the installation, the search for a printer fails.
Select the check box that says something like [b:273nwagh]Continue the installation without connecting to the printer now- I will connect later[/b:273nwagh].
It then proceeds and finishes the installation.

Setup a Local printer (create a TCP/IP port pointing to the IP address of the printer).
On the Install Printer Software (driver selection) screen, select the manufacturer

“Hewlett-Packard” and the model “HP Photosmart C6200 series”.
