I have to test my ramdisk driver on Linux. The ramdisk has to be formatted to ext2. However, I cannot find the SMALLEST size of an ext2 partition, so I cannot set the lower limit of my ramdisk's size.
Does anyone know the the smallest possible size of an ext2 partition? Many thanks. -- Computor 00:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

" error for , while it does work for . Further testing reveals that it works for 61440 bytes, but fails for 61439 bytes. This is without any additional options provided to mke2fs
, so it may be possible to get that number lower by using other options. I can't imagine what use a sub-60k ramdisk would be, but that doesn't mean you don't have your reasons for wanting one.

khan 23:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)I am making a Flash game using Flash 8 and I have the code and everything of my game in a .FLA file. I have the music and sound of my game in a seperate .SWF file. Is there anyway that I can combine the .SWF into the .FLA, and publish them as a single .SWF file, making it easier to upload and host onto website? Thanks. Jamesino 02:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I just recently subscribed to a couple of podcasts, and things were going swimmingly. Then, a few days ago, for no discernible reason, all the songs in my iTunes library disappeared. That wasn't a problem as I had all the songs backed up elsewhere on my hard drive. Anyway, afterwards, my podcasts were still listed in the podcast section of iTunes, but whenever I sync up my iPod, the podcast ends up with all the songs in my library in my iPod. I've tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, but, nothing doing. Any suggestions? -- Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 11:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I need to create a custom packet to test out my home network. How can I do this? My computers are running Mac OSX and Ubuntu Linux (6.10). Thanks in advance!-- Ryan 20:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, but are there any that run under Mac OSX? Linux is my "last resort" OS, I use it when all else fails. And it would be nice if I didn't have to compile it, although I know how. Thanks! -- Ryan 00:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Wikipedia-ites.
I've been doing computer upgrades and such, and I'm finally getting things back in order. My 250 GB (Or, 250 billion byte) hard drive, is read by Windows as 232 Gigabytes, because of the inconsistencies between Byte = 1024 and Byte = 1000. However, when I rightclick on the properties of my hard drive, it reads 36.5 Gigabytes, (39 billion bytes) used. When I go into the stuff saved on the C-Drive, apply "View all system files", and Ctrl-A and check the properties of the C drive, it SHOULD technically be 36.5 Gigabytes, am I right? However, the C-Drive components read to windows as 31.7 Gigabytes in size (Or, 34 billion bytes). Where in the heck are my other 5 billion bytes going? Formatting issues or some sort of rootkit, I just don't know. Any help? User:Logical2u Talk 23:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Likely solved.
Turns out System Restore files are saved in a folder that forbids you from viewing the size for it. (Restore points are saved in under x:\system volume information\_restore{558C94FD-3C7F-4954-A02D-26679E6D849E}. Each restore point's files are saved in a folder named RPXX where XX is a two digit number corresponding to the restore point.) Systme Volume Information is completely hidden from XP Home users sight, even the size is hidden (Right click its properties and Size = 0 bytes)! I have a system restore point practically every three days, so the 5 gigabytes is likely lurking in that folder I am not able to access. User:Logical2u Talk 22:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
