    Help please!

    Hello,

    I have two questions in this thread...

    1- Does Linux operating system decrease the original size of the HDD? because first I was only using a Windows 7 Ultimate on my Laptop Lenovo G550 4446 the D:/ partition size was 140 GB Free of 190 GB.. After I installed the Linux ubuntu along with the other Windows 7 I found the D:/ partition size became 68 GB free of 122 GB... Why the hell the size decreased?? Did the HDD destroy??

    2- How can I hack Wireless Network of type WPA2/WPA or WEP using the linux?? I have heard that I can do that using Shell Konsole, but I can't see Shell Konsole in my Linux ubuntu 10.10... Is it required to be installed over the internet or something, or if it is already installed within the operating system, can you tell me where I can find it?

    Thanks.

    1. No, it doesn't. But different file systems have different overhead. Read this for info on why the actual size of a HD can differ from the reported size.

    2. In general we do not provide support here for any sort of hacking. If you can clarify what exactly you want to do and how it is a legitimate use, maybe someone will help. Konsole is a specific terminal emulator used by KDE, one of many possibilities.

    With respect to 1) I would assume Ubuntu shrunk his NTFS D: drive to make space for the OS install. This is exactly what the installer says it will do.

    Does anyone know what is this?
    When I enter this command in the terminal I get Chipset Unknown, why is this happening?
