Everything worked out fine.
Well except d/l from mandrake club (i signed up for silver) but how do i d/l stuff i searched for flash and such but theres no "download link"
Secondly when i come across a .run file do i want to click on it and let it load in the browser then after it all loads do i want to file save as? or do i want to right click the run file and do a save link target (this comes up as .run.html)?

You just need to install LILO on the MBR, and not on the first sector of boot. You can do this by booting from the first Mandrake CD, and then at the splash screen, hit F1 and then type rescue<return>. You will boot to a menu and one of the choices is to reinstall the bootloader.I first installed mandrake 9.1 on monday 10-20-03 and everything went smoothly. I figured out how to use irc and mozilla and konquer.And so yesterday after reading the mandrake starter pdf (on my win2k box) i got the bright idea to reinstall mandrake because i wanted to add a few more workstation programs, im sure there are easier ways to do that but i couldnt fgure them out. Well one of the last questions it asked me before i rebooted was if i wanted to install something at the begining of the boot sector, something else, etc, i didnt remember this the first time i installed amd i thought it would be best if i checked the install at the begining of the boot sector. Well obviously it wasnt right because after bios boot i recieve a "L 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99......" for 10 lines then a strike f1 to retry boot, f2 for setup utility. Do I need to start over a new install or is there a way around this?
When it was running properly the first time I came up with a few how to
questions I could not find in the How To guide @ mandrakes web site.
How do I update mozilla from 1.3 to the current 1.5?
If you stick with Mandrake packages, you cannot do it right now because they are currently being built and debugged. If you want to do it without Mandrake packages, you will have to install from the package available at mozilla.org. This will however cause your fonts to not be as nice I have heard.
How do I make mozilla my default browser?In KDE or in GNOME? If KDE, open the KDE Control Center and in the Components => File Associations section, find the html extensions and move Mozilla up the list to the top.
Why doesnt home remember my last settings ie list view and not largeIf you mean in the Konqueror File Manager, you have to save the profile again after changing it. Settings => Save View Profile
icons? (what is this xp?!)The rpms available on the Club are much better. But anyway, you have to be root (administrator) to copy the file. You can start konqueror in Super User mode from the K => Applications => File Tools menu.
When trying to install the flash and shockwave plugin for mozilla it
said in the text document "incompatible version of os" and when trying
to copy it to the mozilla plugin directory it would say that i did not
have permission to do this.
You are about to be introduced to the command line interface of linux. It is very powerful and efficient, so don't be scared. Open a console and change to the directory you have the .run file saved to. Make sure the file has the executable bit set by typing 'chmod 755 nameoffile.run then try ./nameoffile.run and the installer should execute.I very much enjoy wolfenstein:enemy territory and when i went to install the linux version the file was a *.run file and when i clicked on it it would open a new browser page with which i believe is the source code and it would load and load and load. What do I do with this file?
Thanks for reading through all this and a great mucho thanks in advanceHTH
for helping me answer any of these questions.
