Well, i thought there is a mistake such as this one..
cd / rm -rf * |
But the above would left you with nothing to begin with..
Today managed to find another shortest path of it..
by…
1. Download Ubuntu 9.10 iso image from http://www.ubuntu.com/
is not big.. is just 690Mb.
2. Get a blank CD ,and burn that iso into it.
3. Reboot the machine.
while booting up.. hold F12.
[it will prompt for one time boot menu..]
4. Then.. just press next all the way..
at the 3rd step..might need to enter your enter.
press next… next..
5. and it will ask for a reboot.
and remove the CD.
6. that’s it..
the new and shiny Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Kaola…
the default option for partitioning is :
“Erase all filesystem on hardisk /dev/sda”
is not the
“Use available free/unallocated space”
like the other distros…
all above step can be completed within less that 15minute.
the result :
now .. i am going to re-look for my “/home” directory
which is previously mounted at /dev/sda5
while the “/” is at /dev/sda1
.. so if “rm -rf /”
my “/home” would still intact.. if not mounted.
but this Ubuntu so efficient… it wipe all..
p/s : my bad for not lookin at it properly ..
pressing “Next”a bit too fast.. perhaps..
la….la.. la.. what was been missing ah..?


there are few mistakes there.
1)the notebook is Macbook not Macbook Pro
2)the LCD is 22-inch. Couldn’t afford to buy 32″.
3)last but not least, iPhone first generation ppl called iPhone 2G (EDGE) instead of G1 coz the term G1 led to confusion with HTC/Google Android G1
:p . Just my 2 cent.
No need to compare lah … if you do that forever you will not be satisfied with what you have, especially when it comes to material things. There will always be someone with a faster car, bigger house, cooler gadgets. You can spend forever in the rat race trying to keep up … or try to find happiness in the life that we already have.
Attaining all those things come with more challenges attached as well. I believe God will grant us these once we are really ready for them.
Life is like playing Lode Runner … need all sorts of strategies and tactics to survive and cope, and make it through the day. Once you have mastered them … what do you get? Next level, with more challenges! And is like that all the way … 😎
