Q. I formated my flash drive to FAT32 and used UNetbootin to mount the latest Linux Mint .iso file on to my USB. Then I restarted my computer and configured the BIOs to boot from a flash drive. However, I get a large "Missing Operating System" error. Help?
A. There must be an error with the image. Despite what people say Linux is not as easy to boot from USB and mint is not as easy as ubantu to do that. If you have the iso on your desktop you can test it in a virtual drive if you have Hyper V on your system. or put it one a DVD. or try a different usb boot software like the universal boot. That works ive used it.
The important thing is don't get stuck try things to find the problem. Does it support legacy usb boot your machine?

How to change a network solutions URL back to my personal URL?
Q. I have recently moved my wordpress twenty eleven sites to network solutions. Network Solutions has changed my URL to another url. What I'm gathering is that I need to put this into a sub-directory. I can't understand the directions on wordpress for this. I need step by step instructions. I have put my questions in parentheses above the steps wordpress has given me. Thanks you anyone who can get me out of this hole!
(I believe we did this already when moving it to Network Solutions )
1. Create the new location for the core WordPress files to be stored (we will use /wordpress in our examples). (On linux, use mkdir wordpress from your www directory. You'll probably want to use "chown apache:apache" on the wordpress directory you created.)
(This is self explanatory)
2. Go to the General panel.
(Is this the URL I get from Network Solutions? i.e. 0345009.netsolhost.com/RRBlog)
3. In the box for WordPress address (URL): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files. Example: http://example.com/wordpress
(Where do I get this root directory URL, I can't even find the Root Directory in Wordpress)
4. In the box for Site address (URL): change the address to the root directory's URL. Example: http://example.com
Click Save Changes. (Do not worry about the error message and do not try to see your blog at this point! You will probably get a message about file not found.)
(Are my core files the content.php? and where exactly am I moving them to?)
5. Move your WordPress core files to the new location (WordPress address).
(All together I can't find the index.php or the .htaccess, probably because I can't find the directory which seems to be the main issue here.)
6.Copy (NOT MOVE!) the index.php and .htaccess files from the WordPress directory into the root directory of your site (Blog address). The .htaccess file is invisible, so you may have to set your FTP client to show hidden files. If you are not using pretty permalinks, then you may not have a .htaccess file.

How to install Broadcom BCM4313 Wireless Card Firmware?
Q. A few months ago I bought an Acer Aspire One 722 netbook. On the first run I installed Windows 7 (since it had Linpus Linux with no GUI pre-installed) and I installed all the drivers. After some time I decided to use Xubuntu 12.10 and I was happy with it. It automatically installed the proprietary driver for the wi-fi card and all was good.
The trouble came when Ubuntu 13.04 got released and I decided to look for another distro since the one I was using was out of date and not as fast as I had wished anyway. I've installed Manjaro Linux and everything worked nicely until one time I went downstairs for a moment and came back to see my screen blanked out (default power settings), which was normal, and... my wi-fi led turned off. The internet still worked but now the led wouldn't light up no matter what. I figured that it must have burned out or something so I ignored the problem.
I realized the problem was more serious when I decided to try Lubuntu. When the installer asked me to connect to a network, at first it connected properly and then, when I wanted to continue the installation, it probably downloaded and installed the proprietary driver, because the led switched on but the installer tried to connect to my network over and over again unsuccessfully.
To get a better idea of what's going on I installed Xubuntu 12.10 again (because the wi-fi card worked fine on it before) and checked the wi-fi driver selection in software sources>additional drivers tab. It turns out, the internet works fine when the selection is "Do not use the device" (which, by the way, was NOT selected all the time while I was using the system before the problem occured), the internet works but the led doesn't light up, and when I select "Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source", the led lights up but I can't connect to my network (despite it being visible on the networks list).
I decided to go even further back in an attempt to fix the problem. I remember that whenever I turned on the netbook, the wi-fi led lit up every time even before the system loading screen (and it doesn't now). I also remember that the very first time I turned on the netbook, it also didn't light up. It started lighting up only after I've installed the broadcom driver on Windows 7 for the first time. I deducted that the driver must have also installed some kind of internal driver or firmware onto the device and for whatever reason that firmware now doesn't work. Turns out I was right. Debian installer reported bcm43xx-0.fw firmware missing before network configuration. That's the firmware for my wi-fi card.
I hoped that if I installed Windows 7 again and installed the driver once more, the firmware would get installed with it again, just like it did the first time. But, unfortunately, it didn't. The led doesn't light up before the Windows loading screen, it only lights up after that and the internet works with the led lit up but only on windows. The problem remains unchanged when I try to install any linux distro again.
Can anyone tell me how I should install the firmware itself? (no matter on what OS. Whichever is required, I will install it).
I've read that the Broadcom cards are not exactly the most reliable ones so I'm considering getting a new wi-fi card but then again this seems like it might be a software problem so if it can be fixed and save me some money, it would be great.
Say what you will but even right after the installation I had the Broadcom proprietary driver option checked in the additional drivers tab. I think that's because I checked the "install third-party software" option while installing the system.
Also, I already tried the b43-fwcutter. Hasn't solved the problem.

A. In regards to Linux: Ubuntu distributions do not install any proprietary hardware drivers or software by default because of copyright, but they provide the files for the user to install them.. The user has to open the package management program and install Ubuntu Restricted (or the ones for the distribution you are using) and if your wireless is wifi capable you need to install the wifi files also.
Install b43-fwcutter in Linux because it extracts the fireware for Broadcom. This might solve the issue you are having.
