Speed up Firefox (No IPv6)

From Digg.com
By disabling IPv6 in Firefox, you can make a noticeable
speed-up while rendering pages. This is because almost every
website still uses IPv4. Simply set Network.dns.disableIPv6
to true.
To get to this setting, type "about:config" in the address
field (w/o quotes)
I don't know who uses IPv6 yet, but I'm sure this tweak
needs to be turned off (or on, however you look at it) when
IPv6 is fully implemented.
It appears to work, so far...

Ubuntu.
Talk about safe as fuck.
Blegh, Firefox v.9.3 :(

They actually sent me all the CD's I requested... about 8
total
No live version for PPC or AMD64 though
It recognised every component, and even set up my connection
for me. The only thing that doesn't work is my Logitech
custom button on me mouse.
Check it!

'ow do I change the desktop rez?
Jeezus this thing is like in 1600x1200 on a 17"!

you are suffering from severe elusivelitis, i have no idea
what you are trying to say 50% of the time


The only thing that doesn't work is my Logitech custom
button on me mouse.


maybe that config thing command fixes it, but im not sure
since ive only had ubuntu (not the live disk mind you)
installed for.. dunno a month maybe, and i play with it once
a week haha.

orrr its my fucking hangover, sorry. edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with

sudo emacs /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

i think you can give the config thing for the mouse a
parameter to change the resolution and refresh rate too but
im not too sure. cant you change the resolution at 'display
properties'?

by the way here's a question for you, im sure you know this.
im on a ~500 mhz laptop with win98 se installed, the thing
has a 20 gb harddisk, win98 is on the only, 20 gb partition.
is it possible to convert some free space within this
partition to a 2nd partition to boot ubunbtu from?

i want to toy with linux on this thing as well but i dont
want to use my win98 install

I know, when I get on here I turn into Mr. British accent.
I find it more playful in a way, just so "street" haha
The Logitech button is below the scroll wheel. In Windows,
it requires software for the OS to utilize it.No biggie
though, I just had it set as a shortcut to go "back" in a
browser/explorer window.
Damn, I must be blind, I found the rez changer.
It won't play any music or vids... this live thing is really
limited.
Won't recognise my CD burner drive either.
..
The boot thing is possible. Think "boot managers". Ubuntu
seems to come with Grub. I don't know which is better,
between Lilo and that.... ooh check out what I found while
Googling
Windows writing over Linux
..strange. Make Grub your boot manager
If you want, make just a boot disk
To get your MBR back to original state (like a default
Windows install), type: fdisk /mbr

...type that at a command prompt to trash Grub, that is.

yeah i know about grub and boot managers. some little fairy
whispered the answer in my ear already: partition magic

Fred Langa recommends "boot it" over that one.
