@nims11.. ThanQ for your concern..
While installing the Mint. I was advised to have an internet connection. But I don't have an internet connection. I installed ignoring it. And I installed 'Julia' alongside the winXP. While installing I have a doubt. If I choose to use the entire Hard Disk, will it Delete every thing in my Disk?? All the data??
I want to have only Mint10 on my system... Should I loose all the data on disk?? I don;t have much resources to back up the data in CDs or DVDs..
Please advise me if there are any other ways in installing Only Mint10 with out losing data of my system??

Yes, if you choose entire HDD, you will loose all the data and partitions.
Nope, there is no need to delete all the partitions of your hard disk. You can choose any one partition (approx. 15GB) and install Mint on that. Don't touch your data partitions. They will be automatically mounted once you boot into Mint.

imho, the eye-candy in UU looks very amateur. but the software package is very nice.
canonical should introduce packs, as in, you can select packs of predefined softwares, or choose softwares of your choice among packs

no no no, i meant like firefox has done with add-ons.
you have the shopper package, educational package, etc, and you can choose whether to install the whole thing or just some parts of it. it'l sure make stuff a lot easier, and we wont have to dwnload 2.2 gb of UU edition.
btw, you use gentoo? im a beginner/intermediate level user, i heard its easy to optimize it for your hardware... do you recommend it for me? im using ubuntu maverick.

I would recommend Arch Linux instead of Gentoo. Its very lightweight and fast. Additionally, they have a very great documentation and community.
Here is the beginner's guide to arch Linux:
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide
BTW, sorry to op for hijacking the thread. I would not post offtopic again.
@doomgiver, please create a separate thread if you need guidance on Arch. There are so many Arch fans here on TDF to help you out.

yes you can. if you download the source, then you can compile it through terminal. the details can be found in the "INSTALL" or "README" file in the source tarball you dowload.
the easier way is to download the binaries which is precompiled and u just have to install in your computer.
without internet, it can be a pain manually installing all those libraries necessary to compile the source of the package.
have a look at this link-

oops i forgot!!
downloading and compiling the software tarballs work with all distros. in MINT, you can easily install packages through .deb binaries which are widely available for most softwares.

edit the first post of this thread and click on "go advanced" to change the title of this thread.
goto the website of the software you want, you will most probably find the .deb binary there if it exists.
else try this - Debian -- Packages
^^Why don't you just use apt-get?? Or GUI package manager??
BTW I guess you need to extract that, and you'll get .deb file which you've to install.

Instead download .deb package from here: Index of /pub/videolan/vlc/0.4.3/deb/
I think vlc_0.4.3-1_i386.deb should work for you.
