I encountered some troubles during installation Windows 95 and Linux to the different partitions of one HDD (16Gb). The problem is that I need more then four partitions, and some of them should be greater then 8Gb. ... First, I used Win95 fdisk (OSR2, which is important!) to create primary partition 1 and to set it active. ... Next, create extended partition, and assign all available space for it. ... With this fdisk you may create all Linux partitions (including swap) as the extended ones. ...

A grouping of galaxies known as the Sloan Great Wall was discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and is a leading candidate. The Sloan Great Wall can be seen in this digitally recast contour map of galaxies in the Two Degree Field galaxy survey. ... The labeled Sloan Great Wall spans over one billion light years, longer than any structure ever measured. ...

... The issue of notes for one pound and for ten shillings were to circulate "As fully as sovereigns and half-sovereigns are current and shall be legal tender in the United Kingdom for the payment of any amount" . Why not the Bank of England, with all their experience and expertise? The Bank felt that large numbers of low-value notes wouldn't be "safe" unless they were printed on special hand-made paper. ... Both notes were the same size and were printed on only one side of paper. ...

... This could be a a/d input problem (the voltage divider resistor is wrong) or a real error with the tiedowns not moving as instructed. foldBack errors occur when the requested torques are above the allowable maximum for a period of time. ... The jack is not able to move at the requested speed because too much torque is required. ... Plotting the motor torque vs tiedown tension showed that td12 needed 4 to 10 times as much torque as the other two tiedowns for the same cable tension. ...

... When using a single spectral window, and observing spectral lines, the bandwidth of the ATCA can be problematically narrow, or the channel widths can be too coarse. ... A partial work around for this situation is to use the two ATCA frequency bands to observe in adjacent somewhat overlapping windows, and using the same bandwidths and channel counts for the two windows. ... In so doing, it handles any overlap region between the two windows in a sensible fashion. ...

... An overall criterion for standard-star selection is the accuracy needed in the final results: if you need more accuracy, you will need more standard stars. ... While it is possible to get a rough estimate of the extinction by observing different standard stars at high and low airmasses, the relatively large conformity errors in most photometric systems, together with the low accuracy of some standards, make this method very inefficient (see Young [ 10 ], p.178). ...

... Measurements of magnetic fields on scales larger than galaxy clusters are needed to distinguish between fields generated in the primordial Universe and those generated at later epochs, with implications for particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. ...
