<DIV>Hello ,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been struggling with Linux for nearly 2 years . That,s not fair I have been striving to maximise the offerings that Linux provides however when I finally finds a distro that I can understand ie Mepis it lets me down . Not once or twice but often.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For some reason I get it running brilliantly , the system is updated , I add new apps like gnu-gnutella, synaptic,alsa player, totem, sound card configured Use Xine all the trimmings and it runs fine . No issues then for no reason Grub poops itself.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have reloaded the distro I have at least 5 times over the past 4 months and for some reason it will run brilliantly time and again then it starts to throw up error messages during the grub boot stage "error 17".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why , all I want is the freedom to use a distro and my computer to the best advantage , I don,t write code , I subscribe to all the right issues like "no software patents", I don't hack my machine . I even load it on its own hard drive not a shared one with windoze.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And all I get is error 17 , theres 17 errors on grub ??? and i get them all???.Please help me before I do something I will regret , I am mere flesh and blood , I have my whole life before me and I do not want to do the ultimate act. I search myself...why me ..'m a good person ..i have tried to learn the file names , I have used RPM , I try to understand Debian, i learnt how to configure - make - make install. I even subscribe to Linux Format magazine.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I still get Grub error 17</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please dont make me go back to XP I couldnt stand it , I have to use it at work I don't want to use it at home ,,PPPPPPPLLLLLLLLEEEEAAAASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HEEEEEEEELP MEEEE</DIV></TD></TR>
