This guy could not effectively and reasonably argue/debate based on the merit of an argument.

He's probably not here to help people out but rather to brag about his MVP Networking Status which this topic/thread is clearly unrelated.
I've already humbly pointed this out in Reply #11 (First Paragraph) but he doesn't seem to *get it*.
You can verify this with the numerous posts he made where he's not only quick to butt in his "advices" but sometimes also forceful of his "expertise" even when the original poster obviously declines his posts/replies.

He just posts/replies all day because he's got the *time* (if you know what I mean).
This is probably the main reason why he's not bothered by the amount of time consumed in the conventional methods which he uses.

Keeping in mind the number of posts/replies he's made (Posts: 46,939 / 29.76 posts per day as of this writing), this Forum is his "Territory"/"Turf," an extension of his ego, which he feels obligated to "protect" from other smarties out there... So just Back Off!
(He's always looking for a thread where he can post, just try looking around!)

My reason for starting this thread was to get some ideas from other people who may know a little or some about the topic.
I've never expected that I would end up debating in and defending this post as if its my job to prove things to him!
Instead of being helpful, he'd downplay a statement that doesn't suit his taste or regretfully, he cannot understand.

Some Examples...:

But to be fair and honest, this guy is also very helpful as long as you do not upset his high self-worth whenever he's offering a solution. But his fangs start to show when you defy His Clairvoyance... (Check this thread)

This could be the possible explanation.

This post is way out of line:

I suggest that you adjust your attitude. Your comments in that post are totally uncalled for. You have been warned.

But so was his...

Just pointed out the needless comments he made in the earlier posts of this thread...

Those were uncalled for, especially from a Moderator/Distinguished Member...

You could read the Quotes & the previous posts to see my point...

I'm just trying to protect the concept of the thread and prevent it from getting worse...

Anyway, respect should always be rendered even/much more if one is a Moderator/Distinguished Member of the Forum...

Thanks for your immediate attention though...

Peace!

You were not shown any disrespect, but you have been disrespectful. Denial will get you nowhere. I'm cutting you some slack so drop it.

More disrespect of the staff like that will not be tolerated.

What if..
Partitions: 1 for Sistem (OS) / 1 for Documents / 1 for Emulation (8.5Gb)

Load from "Documents" LinuxDeluxeDVD.iso on "Emulation" and Install to "Sistem" after boot.

The right ISO to HD emulation tool is: ¿?

Check this: http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk (Maybe a 1Gb to emulate 700Mb CD's)

I prefer to use a partition on my HD rather than burn a ton of CD's DVD's.
