Hello awesome freedom supporters,
I have 3 partitions: 1 for GNU/Linux , 1 for data (ntfs format) and 1 for
windows. I installed GNU by using the program from
http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ and GNU/Linux works well, however i can't see
windows in the Grub loader. How can i change this? I was very carefully when i
installed the OS. I can see the windows partition from GNU so i don't think
that i deleted something unintentionally.
Which packages do i have to load to be able to mount a ntfs disk? I know ntfs
is unfree, but it's absolutely necessary. My parents and my brother do not
wonna switch to GNU/Linux and without ntfs i can't share music with my brother.
Which packages do i have to load to be able to use wireless lan with my leptop.
There is no free software driver (I think), so i'd like to use a non-free
alternative. No wireless lan means no internet and consequently no access to
information and to the whole human knowledge and culture for me. When i used
ubuntu, w-lan worked. So is there a little ubuntu tool which scans my hardware
and installs missing non-free drivers if there is no free alternative?
Feature request: It would be awesome if gNewSense could ask the user if he
wonna use unfree software to enable very important hardware functions (opt-in
of course). This would lead to much more freedom.
Thank you very much!
