Installing Linux using USB Flash drive

Previously, i’ve posted the installation of Window XP using USB flash drive. This time, we move to install linux using USB flash drive. To create bootable Live USB drives for linux is much more easier, thanks to UNetbootin.It is a great tool that  allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. Tools that we required:

  • UNetbootin
  • USB flash drive with more than 1GB storage
  • Linux ISO (optional)

Linux ISO is optional because it can be download through UNetbootin if u do not has the image file.

1. Download & install UNetbootin. Plug in USB flash drive and run UNetbootin.

2. By selecting Distribution, when we select desire linux distro, where it can automatic download the respective ISO.

Howto Enable kate editor code folding

Kate is a text editor for KDE. The name Kate is an acronym for KDE Advanced Text Editor.Kate has been part of the KDE since release 2.2 in 2001.Because of the KParts technology, it is possible to embed Kate as an editing component in other KDE applications. The integrated development environment KDevelop, the web development environment Quanta Plus, and the LaTeX front-end Kile are three of the major KDE applications making use of Kate as an editing component.

Kate is so far the best IMHO. Most essential features that a modern editor should provide such as session management, syntax highlighting, word completion, indentation, and scripting/plug-in system are all decent here except for code folding.

The XMLs are located at /usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax/

Find your targeted language style XML, and find at the end of the file the element general,
add a child element to it:

That’s it.
