Re: [Cooker] xanim
Actually, my ftp does have the compressed and uncompressed video files on it. Compressed (radius codec) shows black/blank and Uncompressed looks like sh=t (shows the red/green/blue layers out of sync). ftp://24.13.20.26/pub/uploads/ (compressed files of Ocean#.avi) ftp://24.13.20.26/pub/uploads/sandiego/ (uncompressed files named Video#.avi) have decent upload speed at my end (~100kb/sec) so it's up to your isp.

Were these videos working in your previously distribution of Linux? If so, what distribution was that? And had you installed it yourself from the xanim site or did it work out of the box in the disitribution?

[Cooker] Auto allocate needs rethinking
Hi, I decided to purchase the Power Pack and see what the commercial distribution was like. I found a problem with the way the auto allocate sets up the partitions. Here's the example from my system: /boot- 15M /-(root)1.5GB /home-8.3GB swap- 250MB Here's where the problem comes in. Installing the distribution off the first CD as a development workstation was ok, but I ran out of room on the root partition after installing only 4 packages off the applications CD! In addition, the swap file size seems excessive as I've been using a 128MB swap file since forever. You need to do one of two things- a. drastically increase the root partition size since all of the files going under /usr will be installed there, or b. Have auto allocate create a root, /usr, and /home partition Sam

[Cooker] Disk Drake problems
Hi, I decided to change my partition setup for Linux and reinstall Mandrake. Disk drake was the last partitioning tool I'd used and it gave me the error message, "Diskdrake cannot correctly read the partition table". In addition, partition commander reported the same problem. This was the first time this error has been reported out of three runs with Diskdrake. The drive is a Maxtor 20GB, 7200rpm IDE ATA33 drive, model 92048D8 The motherboard is an ABIT BH6 Sam

[Cooker] Re: [Contrib-Rpm] XFree86-4.0-4mdk
There needs to be a compatibility Mesa library that goes along with this. XFree86 4.0 supplies the libGL, but does not include libGLU and libglut which essentially hoses any Mesa applications... Give me a day or so and I'll bang out a modified Mesa spec that does this...

Re: [Cooker] Disk Drake problems
Not yet, I have to download the latest cooker from work where we have a T1 connection. I'm at home sick today. If disk drake can do that, it'll beat the pants off any other partitioning tool out there. If I were you guys, I'd consider putting disk drake on it's own bootable CD for your commercial packages. That way someone can change partitions easily after Mandrake is installed. Pixel wrote: Sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I decided to change my partition setup for Linux and reinstall Mandrake.

Re: [Cooker] Disk Drake problems (good news)
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle- this is too cool. I went ahead and repartitioned the hard drive using diskdrake. I put the primary partitions in the same order and same size I had before ( the partitions I wanted to resize were on the extended partition). After finishing the install, I pulled the cd out and rebooted. I was going to reinstall win98, but forgot to stick the floppy in. The computer booted up into Windows! The windows system partition was still intact and functioning properly! Partition Commander reads the partition table with no problems. You guys have a real winner here!

[Cooker] GRUB
I quickly looked through the list archive but didn't find any informat. Is there anywhere to get information on how to setup grub? i went to thier web page, and all they had was a doc. Is drakx going to go back to lilo at any point in the future? At the very least there should be an option to select Grub or LILO especially during the expert install. Thanks for a great distro.
Re: [Cooker] GRUB
type info grub after you have installed it... You also have a documentation directory in the grub package... /M On Wed, 22 Mar 2000, David Foresman wrote: I quickly looked through the list archive but didn't find any informat.

[Cooker] Bochs purchase
Hey! Ket me be the first to congratulate Mandrake on two fronts: 1. Buying Bochs 2. LPGL'ing Bochs for the benefit of Plex 86 and the Linux community. Way to go guys, it's great to see a distribution channel giving back to the OSS community in such a great manner. Makes me happy that I participate in Cooker all the more.

[Cooker] corrupted compat-glibc
This package has been corrupted for a long time know, I guess I am one of the few constantly installing stuff from the mirrors [root@fulgore:/var/spool/autorpm]# rpm -Uvh --test compat-glibc-5.3-2.0.7.5mdk.i586.rpm [root@fulgore:/var/spool/autorpm]# rpm -Uvh compat-glibc-5.3-2.0.7.5mdk.i586.rpm compat-glibcunpacking of archive failed on file /usr/i386-glibc20-linux: cpio: unlink failed - Bad file descriptor [root@fulgore:/var/spool/autorpm]# -- Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] libXpm.so.4
After installing *and* removing the XFree 4.0 packages from cooker contrib, a lot of packages complain about missing deps for this library, which I traced back to compat-libs I made symbolic links for the moment, so I can use netscape and other apps. Is this solved in the new rpm that corrected the __rawmem problem with netscape? -- Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] Possible Bash issue
Hi . After a sunet rsync , I noticed that my backspace key stopped working into bash (only in the console). And Yes, I grabbed the last bash rpm over there. It works fine under a xterm and in the logon box (before bash starts) it's ok too. I've already looked into the keymap (br-abnt2) and it isn't its fault. Does anyone had the same problem ? TIA

[Cooker] Gnutella, sources/binaries?
Hi Folks! The subject says it all! This may be somewhat off topic, but as it was released (however briefly) under the Gnu license and is not AFAIK an illegal program anymore than knapster etc and it would make a welcome addition to Mandrake :-). Unfortunately they have been pulled from Nullsoft's page by Big Brother (read AOL). Any plans to incorporate it? Anybody out there got it? Anyone working on it? Cheers: Michael Perry. RD. Dep.

I believe that this is an unofficial Gnutella source, not sure what version however http://capnbry.dyndns.org/gnutella/unit1.txt And a link to a Windows exe http://members.xoom.com:80/nndata/gnutel050c.exe Michael Perry. RD. Dep. Netafim Magal. Linux -- the Ultimate Windows Service Pack
