Question 1:
Finally got the issue with my internal hard dirve fixed and was able to do a Live Cd install.
My question: on booting the Live CD it presents me with 2 lines, the top one labeled 1 and the bottom one labeled 2
some text on following lines asking to choose an option for boot.
There is NO TEXT describing what option 1 and 2 are. I blindly choose 1 on the assumption that first is probably the most likely one the developers decided most people should use. The installation went smoothly and I have a working installation.
I'm currious what ARE the options
?? and which one did I really choose
Question 2:
During the installation, I forgot to specify the mount points for most of my hard disk partitions. The ext4 mounts were easy since I just followed the fstab line format for my ext4 '/home' partition. However, that left my Vista ntfs and vfat partitions. After reading for several hours in 'man' and refreshing my memory on fstab and mount options, I finally decided to make the ntfs and vfat lines pretty much the same as the ext4 lines. Specifically:
# Vista partition
UUID=508CD6A78CD67FC6 /dos/Vista ntfs defaults 0 2
# vfat
UUID=18ED-2351 /dos/FAT32 vfat defaults 0 2
I finally decided on the default option since that was pretty much what I remember ntfs and vfat options were in the past. Do those look to be okay? The system boots and mounts the partitions without complaint so I'm guessing the lines are okay. It's been about 5 years since I mucked about extensively with fstab and thought I would ask.
Question 3:
Where oh where does Firfox store the bookmarks?? I thought the file 'bookmarks.html' down the '.mozilla/firefox/xxx' directory was the proper file, but when I copy that file from the backup disk into the current firefox folder, Firefox just ignores it. rekonq read the file and now uses those bookmarks, but firefox doesn't. I also copied the latest file in 'bookmarkbackups' from the backup disk to the current firefox hidden file, but that gets ignored also.
