CrunchBang Linux

I would like to turn the spacebar into another control key (mostly for use in Emacs), while still retaining its capability as a space key when I press and release the spacebar. I've tried three different methods and have run into trouble with all of them. I am still new to Linux and am having difficulty understanding these methods, so I apologize for any trivial mistakes I might be making.

Method 1: at-home-modifier
I tried to use this link
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? … 50#p414837
to help me with this method. When I came to step 2, I ran into trouble with the apt-get commands, but when I run apt-get install, I get a message saying that I already have the latest version of xserver-xorg-input-evdev. I moved onto step 3 because of this. Would that be causing me any problems?
In step 3, it asks me to do
cp -r ../xserver-xorg-input-evdev-2.3.2/debian ./
which looks to me like moving the contents of that specific 'debian' folder into the current directory (I'm not sure exactly what it's asking). However, I cannot locate that folder and whereis returns only the folder name. What is this step asking and where is the folder located?

Method 2: Space2Ctrl
I got the contents of
https://github.com/r0adrunner/Space2Ctrl
and followed the instructions in the README file, but nothing seemed to change. Is there anything not written in the instructions that I should be doing?

Method 3: keydouble
I got
https://github.com/baskerville/keydouble
and followed the installation instructions. I then looked at the example configuration file in the example folder but was confused probably misinterpreted it. I then added
keycode 65 = Control_L
into the kdlaunch file, but this didn't seem to have any effect. What am I doing incorrectly?

Any other ways of doing this would also be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I have an HP Envy 14 2070nr that is currently running Windows 7 (I have Live CDs of both Ubuntu and Crunchbang) and would like to partition my hard drive so that I can dual boot into both Windows and Crunchbang. However, I am running into two issues.
One, Crunchbang and GParted recognize what seems to me to be two different partitions. Crunchbang detects my partitions as:

sda1   1 Mb           
sda2   208.7 Mb  ntfs
sda3   141.1 Gb  ntfs
sda4   18.8 Gb

while GParted (I am using the one that comes preinstalled with Crunchbang, in a live session) sees:

sda1   992.5 Kb       ntfs        SYSTEM
sda2   199 Mb         ntfs                                  tagged as boot
sda3   131.38 Gb     ntfs        RECOVERY
sda4   17.48 Gb       fat32      HP_TOOLS
and 1 Mb of unallocated space

and I was wondering what the reason is for this discrepancy, and whether/how it would affect my partitioning (such was which size should I consider when deciding how much space to allocate to Windows and how much to Crunchbang).

My second issue involves neither Crunchbang nor GParted being able to successfully partition my sda3 drive. When I try to do a graphical install of Crunchbang and resize my sda3 partition, I get the following message:

Resize operation failure
An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices.
The resize operation has been aborted.

When I try to resize the sda3 partition through GParted, I get a detailed description of the process. Here are the details of the output, with the steps that ran correctly omitted (there was only one error):

Shrink dev/sda3 from 131.38 GB to 78.83 GB

                ERROR: New size can't be bigger than device size.
               If you want to enlarge NTFS then first enlarge the device size by e.g. fdisk.

Here is the output to the sudo fdisk -l command:

How do I go about correcting this so I can partition my drives and install Crunchbang alongside Windows? I was hoping to dedicate 60% of my drive to Windows and 40% to Linux.

Thank you!

Hello Crunchbangers!
I am new to Linux, so please try to bear with me.
I am currently using Ubuntu to access the Internet because of my inability to successfully install the ethernet driver, but I would much rather be using Crunchbang.
I have been able to come across the lspci command to try and help me identify my ethernet card and find the corresponding driver. Here is its output:

It looks like Atheros Communicationys AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet is the Ethernet card I'm trying to identify, but I have had difficulty locating such a driver. How can I go about getting the proper driver?
Thank you SO MUCH in advance!
