[newbie] 2nd Linux install

2003-08-10 Thread T C
Good thing this list is for newbies because here is a real newbie question: how do I put a 2nd Linux installation on my hard drive? (such as mandrake 9.2 beta.) I could go into more detail but as to what I've tried, but best I should not waste any more of your time. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks, for the input. I have just started to use Audacity and it may do what I want for editing, but as I move into using my computer for hard disc recording and mixing tracks I wonder if Audacity will still do the job. Oh well, that's a great thing about Linux and OSS, you have options. ---

I had an unexpected problem occur today. When attempting to bootup the boot process will make it to Starting system logger and stops, it does not progress beyond this point. I'm pretty new at this and looking at the boot logs hasn't revealed anything to my inexperienced eye. What's going on here?

I'm not terribly familier with setting up Samba with the tools now available. The last time I dealt with Samba I had to hack the config file for it by hand, but now it doesn't seem to be that difficult. You mentioned NetBIOS, does NetBIOS have to be installed for DAVE to work, or is it already a

When I try to go to a sub-directory under /mnt, whether by command line, or Konqueror, it takes a long time to have the directories under /mnt appear. As an example: I try to go to /mnt/cdrom in Konqueror. I click on the /mnt directory and then I wait, for sometimes a couple of minutes. During

BCast 2000 is included on the Mandrake 8.1 CD's. If you have the 8.1 CD's, or can get them, go to Software Manager and add the 8.1 CD's as sources, install BCast2000 using urpmi, and all of the needed dependancies will be installed for you. Terry --- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
