 I get there a broken pipe. I have done some debugging and I found out that
 it seems a maximum of about 2000 chararcter can be passed through the pipe

 What is wrong?

Can you check that packdrake is running correctly without piping it first and

I am not now on my min. install, so no problem to take off hylafax and

imlib is required by pygtk, so I guess if I take off pygtk, imlib can be also 
deleted?
Anyway, TIFF is high-level image format, and IMHO it should not be in the 
same library package with PNG and JPG. TIFF is ok for Adobe Photoshop or may 
be Gimp, but if I use browser - there is no need for tiff. At least, I 
haven't seen pages which use tiff graphics. :-)

I know that this is imlib (and gdk) question, but I don't know if there is 
imlib mailing list around. I am not subscribed for it, so please forward my 
mail to necessary mail list, please.
(Mandrake Cooker/XFree86/DRI/LIVID/KDE-all is enough for me at amoment)

I am not fanatic of command line / console, I prefer GUI-based programs and

But, in this case (5+ extra programs to get draksync and drakprofile running) 
I would prefer to switch to console.
By the way, in DrakProfile I have 2 options - Home and Office, and don't 
understand what is the meaning for them.
LILO switches 2 partitions (2 Linux installs Standard/Minimal) pretty well

it's compiled again kernel kernel-2.2.17-21mdk (default mandrake

[Cooker] update proposal: gnome-vfs

2000-11-27 Thread Stefan van der Eijk

Here's an update for gnome-vfs. In the previous release I forgot (Stefan
sux!) to fix a BuildRequires and one Requires statement. This should fix
it and let it install.

Please merge with cooker.

[Cooker] Problems with dd

2000-11-27 Thread Pedro Rosa

I have noted that the "count=" and "seek=" options on dd seem to give 
errors in cases when one has devfs on. I checked permissions but still I 
don't get the origin of the error. The problem happens the following 
way: you give a dd with a count=#. The stuff gets written on the floppy. 
However when doing dd with a "seek", the systems gives "/dev/ 
permission denied". This happens either by calling /dev/fd0 symlinks or 
calling directly /dev/floppy/0. I tried to give full permissions even as 
root and the thing doesn't come up. However if I try to concatenate both 
files and do a dd with resulting file, everything gets writen on the 
floppy. I checked this with two floppies, new ones, overchecked for 
anything "bad". 

The commands I gave work well on a "classical" /dev system...

Be glad.  =)  It's the real Mandrake 7.2.  All you need to do now is
fire up MandrakeUpdate, download and install the upgrades it will find
for you (*not* development updates but normal updates!) and you will
effectively have what Ron mistakenly called the "real 7.2" and is in

USB cpia video cam modules for 7.2?

A brief description of an install is here: 
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/usbcreativevideoblaster.html
This guy does use the 2.3 kernel, however.

Has anyone compiled the cpia_usb.o and cpia.o modules for the 2.2.17-21mdk 
kernel from Mandrake 7.2? I can get the cpia.o and cpia_pp.o (parallel port) 
modules to compile, but not the USB module which is the one I need.

The web cam I am attempting to use, an Ezonic EZcam is on sale at Best Buy 
for US$20, and is on the "supported" list.

Any help, suggestions or ideas?

 No. Or at least, not yet.


Probably won't be, but it would be nice if the Mandrake folks included the
Win4Lin hooks in the Mandrake kernel. I've tried to get both parties
talking, but no luck. For using Windows apps in a Linux business
environment, Win4Lin seems superior to VMware (and likely Plex86) due to the
way it is structured. Cheaper, too.

It would be nice for Mandrake to provide Win4Lin support "out-of-the-box".
