[Cooker] Minimal install forced ...

[Stéphane Teletchéa]

Hw : AMP XP2200+, 512Mo PC2700, ABIT KX7-333R (chipset via KT333)
ide0 : maxtor dma100
ide1 : Pionneer DVD (master) + traxdata burner (slave)
ide2 : quantum dma33 (hde : windows98)
ide3 : IBM dma66 (hdg : Mdk8.2)* IDE/1: hda is a Maxtor 5T030H3

Detected as : (stage1.log)

* IDE/0: hdc is a Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-104S 012
* IDE/0: hdd is a IDE-CD R/RW 16x10A
* IDE/1: hde is a QUANTUM FIREBALL EX6.4A
* IDE/1: hdg is a IBM-DJNA-371350

I couldn't go through all the installation process : i used the first drive 
to install the rc2, but after the installation selectoin (recommended), the 
system tried to access ide2 and ide3 (recognized by the kernel) and failed 
due to DMA timeouts. (fail to access drive, one message to say DMA is 
disabled, and then error xFF)
After this, the package selection was missing (no icons, no description), i 
couldn't select anything so it installed only the minimum.

I could boot, with a minimal system, and manually upgrade everything after 
transferring all the cd-roms to the hd, and urpmi.addmedia (as urpmi wasn't 
installed first, i had to do that).

I cannot report any problem for the moment about else, except for few 
remarks 
:
1 -When you do like this, urpmi complains about unsigned package, until i 
realised that gnupg was missing ! After it went smooth.

2 - urpmi rocks, i installed everything with it really easily.

3 - i had no trouble with nvidia drivers (2960) from src.rpm.

4 - all the partitions are seen by diskdrake, but when i try to automount or 
manually mount them, it works for the hde (windows fat32) but after a 
certain 
time (when i try to access the files (mp3 for xmms for example), it fails 
with the same message as there were in the installation process.

5 - i'm not able for the moment to access the reiserfs 8.2 partitions on 
hdg. 
It fails with : no valid filesystem or too many mounted files, even if i try 
mout -t reiserfs -detect.

After all this, i must precise something :
I can boot on the raid devices : in that case, i get my old lilo : linux 
(8.2) which ends with a kernel panic (due to the vt8233a i presume) and 
windows (hde). The latter works, and i can access the cdrom and dvd (ide1).

I put the last two drives on 80-pins connectors, although they are not 
udma100 capable, i can switch to 40-pins connectors to check , but as it is 
well detected by the kernel, and that windows works like this, i'm not sure.

It is possible that the kernel attemps to access to my 3 different drives 
with the fastest timing (dma100), in that case i think it would be worth 
describing each disk separately in /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdX ?

I want your opinion on the latter point, and on way to cope with this weird 
behavior.

OK - Under GNOME terminal it works.  But under Gnome when I choose from
the menu - configuration/other/Linuxconf - I get the window box with the
hand saying "You must be root to access Linuxconf" - same as in KDE.

Under kterm (konsole?) it fails with the gtk-warning as posted before.

As told in a previous message, could kino be installed when a firewire 
card is detected ?
It's also needed to "modprobe ieee1394" and "modprobe raw1394" or add 
those two drivers into /etc/modules. Is it possible to make it 
automatique during install ?

the problem is that there isn't any french translation of mozilla 1.1, 
but there is one for 1.0. In the 8.2 release, Mozilla 9.8 was in french 
after install : people which are going to upgrade won't understand why 
upgrading means loosing the french traduction ! Is it really a progress 
? I would prefer a 1.0 in french than an 1.1 in English : Linux would 
still be said to be a not well traducted OS...

In the Changelog for the newest 2.5 kernel, Linus talks about a bunch of 
floppy fixes. Perhaps this code can be back-ported to MD 9.0? I'm not 
qualified to judge the difficulty of doing this. I have had the 
freespace problem with 8.2 as well.

I have the same Chipset with a SCSI CD-ROM from Teac (CD-532S)
and I get the message from isolinux that it hat a extremly broken
BIOS detected, though I don't know if it is the SCSI bios
from my Tekram DC390/AM53C974 hostadapter or the Bios from my

I just read the post yesterday about submitting reports, so mine was

Regarding the problem with that the installation skips the package
selection step. The report.bug file i attached. Then i can furthermore
say that Mandrake 8.2 installs fine in textmode over NFS on the same

It greatly irks me that zip isn't even in the package selection list

It's nice to see this being packaged, even if only in contrib, but I
wonder what exactly is in it?  Is it vanilla amanda 2.4.2p2 or are
there any "feature enhancement" patches in it?

For instance, there is a patch to allow appending to a tape, so that
you can use a tape multiple times until it's full.  Also there is a
patch to fix a bug with tar's "socket ignored" message.

I have been running amanda (2.4.2p2) with the above 2 patches applied
for over a year now, no problems.  If you are not using either of them
and are interested in including them in your amanda RPM, I would be
happy to send them along.  I would love to be using the amanda from
the distro (even if it's contrib) rather than having to roll my own
RPM here.

The current version of kile in Cooker (kile-1.1-3mdk) crash after

Updating the package to the last version 1.2 seems to correct his

I do have Xinerama enabled.  One card is a PCI Matrox card and the 
other an AGP ATI card.  If this makes a difference, then that may be 
why it works fine here.  The ATI card has DRI, the Matrox does not.

I leave this to Fred Crozat since he is the mozilla maintainer and will 
take your word for it... I have no way of testing anything else as I 
don't have a dual head card, just two different cards.

That directory is not searched by ldconfig when it parses all the libs.
You have one of two choices, #1 is preferred:
1) cd /usr/lib 
   ln -s perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so libperl.so
2) Add /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE to

Again, I would assume that #1 is preferred (easily added to postinstall

[Cooker] MDK9.0 RC2 INND still fails to start, still have libperl.so problem

[Jerome Whelan]

URGENT - (That means I couldn't figure it out and I'm hoping someone else
can assist... :)

Sorry for the excitement, but I have experienced this on two betas and two
Release Candidates and I have raised the question several times on cooker
mailing list

INND cannot be started as installed because a shared library cannot be
located.

I have observed this problem in
upgrade 8.1 to 9.0b2 ,
fresh install on  9.0b4 ,
fresh install on 9.0RC1,
and   now   on   a   fresh   install   9.0RC2.

I won't repost all the details, they are listed in my earlier posts about
INND not working, but the problem remains the same... INND fails to start
because libperl.so cannot be located at start time.


A response to one of my earlier posts stated that this problem was scheduled
to be fixed in RC2 but it is still here. I lack the knowlege yet to fix it,
but if the libperl.so is really out of place or not properly included in
library search path, I am surprised that INND is the only package
affected Perhaps the problem still lies within the INND package??

IMHO: As a once newbie linux user, I remember being confused by this. 
It should matter, and they should be installed!  Mandrake is by no means
a minimalist distro.

And if memory serves correctly, I think I manually had to link gunzip to
unzip, or else ark complained... but that was a long time ago.  I don't

[Cooker] Fonts Installation Problem in RC2

[Robert J. Rossana]

I have Windows XP sitting on a partition which uses the NTFS file system.  
After installing RC2, I tried to install the fonts from the XP partition 
using drakconf.  When it gets to the point of copying the fonts, it locks up.  
Font installation fails completely.

While I do not agree that LPRng should be removed, I would say that CUPS is 
about ten times better for the desktop user.  No screwing around with text 
files (is there anything more arcane than /etc/printcap?) and no frustrations 
with trying to figure out where the heck your print job is getting lost, 
thanks to the webserver.

The IPP stuff is quite useful if you have Windows XP clients, because it's 
plug and play and you don't have to mess with samba.  You do have to edit a 
text file (etc/cups/mime.types), because the raw print file option is 
commented out by default, and that's what Windows uses.  Any chance this 
could be integrated into the GUI?

Exactly!

We have chosen not to use CUPS because it's far different from standard 
unix printing systems. We have a team of SA's and it's nice to not have 
too have a "CUPS guy" when stuff doesn't work. lpd and LPRng may  not 
have an integrated webserver and magic integration with some very cool 
but mostly unused internet printing standard. But LPRng is a very 
nightweight printing system, it's secure, not undergoing tons of changes 
like CUPS is, and it just plain works.

It's not that big of a deal, but it still is annoying. We have how many 
text editors? Too many to bother counting? Printing systems? Two.

I feel like a vi user that just had vi removed... after all... can't 
emacs do all the same stuff?

 Hi,

 I think I have an answer to why my prefdm was being killed off and thus
 having the system drop to text mode instead of restarting X when you
 logoff.

 I tracked it down to the samba rc file /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
 if killall -0 cupsd 2>/dev/null; then
  ( sleep 60 &  killproc smbd -HUP ) &
 fi
   If I comment out the "( sleep 60 & killproc smbd -HUP ) &" 
 line then
 prefdm does not get killed off. I'm not sure how bash deal with 
 invoking
 an internal function which was included from /etc/init.d/functions as a
 sub process. But I can tell you that when my system boots it does 
 try to
 call this function but it never gets executed.

[Cooker] SOLVED: menu, /dev/null and initscripts

[J.A. Magallon]

...and _understood_, that is the important thing.

Sorry for the noise about initscripts, but the responsible was the removal
of /dev/null. In my case it gave this weird behaviour:

- update-menus removed /dev/null
- some other thing, or even shutdown scripts, tried to do a > /dev/null
  and created /dev/null as a _REGULAR FILE_, instead of a device one
- on reboot (with lilo configured with read-only for root), initscripts
  could not write to a regular file on a read-only partition. There was
  no problem on writing to a _DEVICE FILE_ on a read-only volume.

Killing my dev/null and creating a new one with MAKEDEV solved the boot.

Just for reference, if it serves for somebody...

Nope. Read archives. Mandrake (in common with some other distros)
doesn't parse the wireless.opts file. Instead, there are wireless keys
for the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files (where ethX is
eth0, eth1, eth2 etc). If you set WIRELESS_ESSID="yourESSID" and
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="yourkey" in this file then Mandrake will parse them
when bringing the connection up (which it ought to do once cardmgr
recognises the card). With the correct settings in this file on my
laptop, when I boot or plug the WLAN card in, the connection is brought
up and the key is set, and everything works. Neato. :)

I did a fresh install of 9.0RC2 on a Compaq Prosignia

WaveLan.

Couple Problems found -

1 - During install/config - it set up the WaveLan as eth1 
correctly, and prompted for the wireless attributes (very 
nice) - but when it went to configure eth0 (internal 100MB 
intel/pro) it also prompted for wireless attributes. This is 
just a nit, but I figured I'd log it.

2 - During boot, it seems the ethernet interfaces are brought 
up prior to the PCMCIA interface - since the WaveLAN is on 
the PCMCIA bus, it hangs during "Bringing up interface eth1:" 
- Either eth1 should some-how be bound to the presense of the 
PCMCIA, or PCMCIA should be brought up first, or eth1 should 
simply time-out after 10 seconds during boot - hanging 
(forever in essence) is not workable.

I just tried it this evening; to print with lpd from windows clients, it's also
necessary to modify the mime-types et mime-convs files in the /etc/cups

RE: [Cooker] Problem booting into RC1

[Trevor Ramoutar]

Problem is that LILO doesn't work properly.  Every time I install Linux
on my second harddrive (this happens with all distros) LILO and GRUB
don't work.  Which is why I need a bootdisk...

How do I manually re-create the bootdisk?  Is there an .img file that I
can use?  I can still access my linux partition, so that's not a
problem.

Thanks.

According to the logs, the creation of the bootdisk had been
successful. The two options are: either our bootdisk creation is
bugged and doesn't report failures, or your floppy has an
hardware failure that didn't report to the floppy drive during
bootdisk creation but lead to a misread when you tried to boot
with it. I would favor the second option.

What you can do is boot into your Mandrake (according to the
logs, lilo was correctly installed on your harddrive) and try to
copy the contents of the bootdisk on the harddrive, and see if
there is any failure. Then retry by hand to create the bootdisk.
You may also format your floppy.

I can't say for sure for I think it should work ok.

Hello Till,

First let me thank you for the wonderful work at www.linuxprinting.org and 
Mandrake printing software!

Technically you are right. CUPS can do do whatever LPRng does.
but I think this is not a technical issue at all. Mandrake Linux has several 
Window managers that do similar things, two versions of X11 (4.x and 3.x),
many kernels, many media players, office suites, graphic viewers etc etc.

The point is choice and ML is doing right with all the packages mentioned 
above. I think that the same argument must be applied to printing software. 
You can say that only CUPS and PDQ are supported but you should give (IMO) 
other people the option to select another package.

Eyal.

Re: [Cooker] Still a problem with urpmi and athlon built packages.

[Kenton Groombridge]

I built java with gcc 3.2.  The way I look at it, gcc 3.2 is the new 
standard and everything older should be dumped.  One of the reasons I 
like Linux is that it moves on.  I posted a message earlier on cooker 
stating my opinion that they ought to post mozilla compiled with gcc 
3.2.  I think this would force Sun to produce java that would work with 
gcc 3.2.  Talk about a bunch of messages disagreeing.  Oh, well, I still 
stick to that opinion 'cause I can make java work with mozilla compiled 
with gcc 3.2.

I use a shell script to activate the card and set my 128 key. Should be

The problem is twofold:

(1) The /etc/pcmcia/config that ships with Beta3 is not the config that
is part of pcmcia-cs-3.2.0.  It is about 6K shorter, and contains no
entries at all for the Linksys Wireless cards.

(2) The /etc/pcmcia/config that is part of 3.2.0 is wrong in regards to
the Linksys WPC11.  The entry needs to read:

card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
 version "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network
PC Card"
 bind "orinoco_cs"

The version line in the existing file is wrong (at least for my version
of the card).

Later the displaymanager starts and dies after 5-10 seconds, 
so I must login on console and use "startx" to start my 
graphical desktop.

Both problems were already in Beta 4 and RC1. I hope you can 
fix this in the final version.

I think thse come from xemacs-el. I installed all xemacs packages, maybe 
this breaks something that having just xemacs installed doesn't?


I uninstalled everything, and then installed -2mdk and now I get the 
error you did.

The dialog box isn't large enough to even type text in it. That is at 
least one problem.

Possibly if you have small fonts it affects the relative size of the 
dialog box?

How about 'JDE->Documentation->Check All' (and make sure there is some 
documentation to correct) Then, hit 'f' to fix.

Again, an error:

Symbol's definition is void: deactive-mark

Nothing works.

I don't have any ~/.xemacs (maybe you do?). I also ran rpm -Vv xemacs 
and no errors are reported.

BTW, I don't like the get/set default template. The arguments have two 
spaces before then instead of one and are all named 'v' instead of the 
argument you give it. Members are made public instead of private, and 
they are not palced at the top of the file, but right before the method. 
I know it's possible to fix the template some, but the author really 
needs to fix that! But besides fixing all the get/set's JDE has been a 
 timesaver for other tasks.

I apologise if any of this bugs have already

1) SECURITY lEVEL CHOSEN: HIGH
The firewall failed to start at boot

2) If an incorrect password is given
the graphics front-end die and nothing,
even a correct login in console environnement,
can set it up again.

3) when changing users session the mouse is stopped.
the cursor stay stucked in the middle of the screen
up to a reboot.

4) drakConf is not accessible: AsK for

5) update from beta-1 works very badly so I have formatted

impossible to launch

It's probably more popular in France than in the US (in the sense that the
average French computer user is more likely to have Mandrake than the
average US computer user), but the US makes up for lower popularity with
sheer numbers (If Mandrake has 0.5% of the US OS market that would still
be larger than ~2.5% of the French OS market).

In addition, (/me tries to devise a way to say this without embodying
American monolingual hubris...) I would expect that many if not most
Mandrake users are involved in some sort of technical or academic field
(engineering, computing, general science, etc.) where English
proficiency is at least strongly encouraged (I could be completely
wrong, though... :o) )

Especially since, if I'm not mistaken, all that's required to translate
the above sequence into French is a few accent marks and dropping the u
in "Languages".  And if that is not sufficient, it will not be long
before a French linux site posts a HOWTO on changing Francifying
Mozilla...

Mandrake should hire someone to fix up the translations, or at least 
make the changes that the volunteers request.

Since most of the guys are French, relatively, their English is very 
good, but we talk about the lack of feeling 'professional' or 'polished' 
if some word really seems out of place.

Re: [Cooker] Linksys WPC11 Version 3

[Simon Ree]

Hi,

Works great with the iwconfig and the hermes.conf file.   I had to add 
the the following to:

wireless.opts
# Activate with "cardctl scheme linksys"

# Pick up any Access Point, should work on most 802.11 cards
linksys,*,*,*)
INFO="Home Wireless"
ESSID="linksys"
;;

# Linksys WPC11 v3
*,*,*,A9:47:99:*)
INFO="Linksys WPC11 v3"
ESSID="linksys"
RATE="11M auto"
;;

hermes.conf-

card "Linksys WPC11 v3"
  manfid 0x0274, 0x1613
  bind "orinoco_cs"

I use a shell script to activate the card and set my 128 key. Should be 
easier than this, it seems mandrake is ignoring the problem.

The problem is twofold:

(1) The /etc/pcmcia/config that ships with Beta3 is not the config that
is part of pcmcia-cs-3.2.0.  It is about 6K shorter, and contains no
entries at all for the Linksys Wireless cards.

(2) The /etc/pcmcia/config that is part of 3.2.0 is wrong in regards to
the Linksys WPC11.  The entry needs to read:

card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
 version "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network
PC Card"
 bind "orinoco_cs"

The version line in the existing file is wrong (at least for my version
of the card).

Personally, I might even use 'at'. I think 'from' is wrong, mandrake.com 
isn't a person, he can't really give anything to you, so you can't get

Had 75x75 dpi
Looked into my monitor specs (Iiyama|Iiyama A702HT, VisionMaster Pro 410) and added 
DisplaySize 310 232

Now I have very big fonts and xdpyinfo reports 131x131 dpi

I'll try to tune that, but is there a way to find the right value ?

[Cooker] RC2 and previous: mail admin (postfix)

[Reinhard Katzmann]

Hi!

I encountered one problem with postfix: After every

manually the root alias in the /etc/aliases file 
from postfix to my user account. Can't that be
done somehow in the drak* tools ? If not, the
/var/spool/mail/postfix mailbox gets filled
up without ever beeing read by someone on a
default installation with postfix mail server.

[Cooker] RC2: No default application for XLS files

[Alastair Scott]

With OpenOffice.org installed, and using Gnome, OOo is set as the
default application for .DOC (Microsoft Word) files. However, there is
no default application for .XLS (Microsoft Excel) files.

Thus clicking on the icon from Nautilus opens up OOo automatically for
the Word file, but pops up the usual 'no installed viewer' for the Excel
file.

This is inconsistent, particularly when Word and Excel files tend to
turn up together and the Excel file appears in Nautilus as a blank icon
whereas the Word file appears as a document icon. 

I don't have a .PPT (Microsoft Powerpoint) file to hand to test its
default application, but it should be checked as well.

[Cooker] RC2 Typos and bugs (install & first boot) P1/2

[Reinhard Katzmann]

Hi Mandrake folks,

System: Abit KX7 with AMD XP 2000, DeXa Wireless KB/(Wheel)Mouse
Digital (Siemens DVB-S SAA7146) and Analogue (SAA7134
Terratec Cinergy 400) TV Cards, Matrox G450 GFX DH, SCSI,
Firewire card (works fine with 2.4.19), Realtek Ethernet,
SB Live Emu10k1, Creative CD-RW 12/10/32, Tevion optical
USB mouse, Teak SCSI CD-Rom (does not boot currently:
"Extremely broken BIOS detected... ;-( )

(I chose "Experte" and "Installation", German as install language.
msec: I chose securitey option "High" ("Hoch"))

Reported already on Beta2, still a problem: my CDRW does not
work quite correct when used with DMA (luckily install still
started)

Next thing: No mouse worked, neither my optical usb mouse
nor the PS/2 mouse, so I had to use keyboard until I could
choose a mouse. (I have a Tevion MD9470, this is reported as
"found usb mouse unknown Chic Technology Corp.|PS2/USB Combo Mouse 
()").

The typo "die die Lizenz" and the duplicated parts I reported
with beta4 were not corrected up to rc2.

On package selection I got a lot of "unknown packages" as I
loaded them from a floppy disk. After that all selection was 
gone (i.e. only minimum package selection left) 
(these was a package selection from a 8.2 Mandrake Pro install).
Luckily I had an auto_inst from 9.0 beta4 which turned out to
work.

Typo: in recode-devel: "This package contains hearder files."
should be "header files"

Some (all ?) texts on the "splash" screen during installation 
were not translated into german. (f.e. Discover Mandrake Club).

As I inserted CD3 I found it a bit strange to read "Bitte Legen
Sie die CD-ROM ''Mandrake Linux 9.0 download rc2 International
CD (x86)'' in Ihr Laufwerk...". There was no number indicating
which CD I should insert.

Since beta4 I cannot configure my USB printer as I get an
error "Cannot read printrc file" and network does not seem
to start (thought it works just fine after install).
I also saw the message "no network seems to be configured
for internet (,yes). When I deactive the "Autoerkennung von
Druckern" Mandrake still tries to start the network :-(

None of my video cards are shown during "Zusammenfassung".
(summary). Upon reboot for both cards module was "unknown".
See also my lspcidrake -v output. Even selecting TV card 
in control-center did not reveal any card.

Services: Interesting to see that "hpoj" gets started, when
I choose to install that package (even though my printer
was not configured).

As already reported in beta4, sensors are still not correctly
configured for the VIA chipset.

I needed to comment the second head for my Matrox G450 DH
to get X11R6 it running at all (X11 aborted with Fatal Error 
Signal 11), log file included. Xinerama (de)activation did not
change anything to it (I have nothing connected to the second
head, but the default selection which I chose was to install
both heads seperateky). The core files created by X did not
show a useful backtrace, sorry.

I added report.bug etc. to this mail. Please rename
report_bug_bz2 to report.bug.bz2 etc.

If this is too lengthy tell me and I send every paragraph
as extra mail :-)

Bulls**t.  My impression is that far more Americans using it than French 
people.  Yes, it's a popular distro in France, but it's also one of the most 
popular in the U.S.  For example, I don't like many things about Redhat, such 
as the fact that it has a strong preference for Gnome (which I can't stand), 
its horrible security record, and the fact that almost every release is 
broken in a major way.  Which is why I use Mandrake, and many other people 
use Suse.

Also, your suggestion of asking the user about Mozilla during installation: 
why?  The user could simply go to Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Languages 
and install the language pack they want after the distro is installed.  Yes, 
they have to read a couple of English menus, but it's not too difficult.

you can have dual head without having Xinnerama on. Also, your card 
might have equal features on both heads. (For example on a Matrox g550 
one one head has DRI support Xinerama communicates this to 
applications that are Xinerama aware so they will work.) You might just 
be lucky with your hardware. But I assure you, all dual heads here don't 
work with current mozilla because --enable-xinerama is not on.

[Cooker] RC2 install: some corrections to UK English

[Alastair Scott]

The install was straight through 100 per cent with no errors; although
poor for feedback this is astonishing!

I did pick up a few slips in the text on various install screens:

i. (Speedtouch USB installation): 'copy the mgmt.o in /usr/...' -> 'copy
mgmt.o to /usr/...';

ii. (Various) ' is available on mandrake<...>.com' ->
' is available from mandrake<...>.com';

iii. (Various) 'softwares' -> 'software' (singular and plural forms are
both 'software').

iv. Not so much an error as an omission.

With older printers the test page takes a long time to print at high
resolution and it is very easy to get to the end of the installation
while it is still printing. It would be worth putting something like the
following on the 'Congratulations' screen to avoid the user having to
drag a half-printed page out of the printer when they reboot (as happens
with my Lexmark Z42):

'If the test page is still printing, please wait until it has completed
before rebooting'.

I rebuilt mozilla with --enable-xinerama and now mozilla is rock solid!!!

PLEASE APPLY!!! Without this option mozilla crashes on all dual head 
machines we have!!!

Here is a diff of the mozilla.spec:

Re: [Cooker] RC2: bash: TMOUT: readonly variable bug *still* there

[Richard Tango-Lowy]

We're not done yet! I've done fresh installs of each beta, as well as
rc1, and keep having this problem. It's easy to fix, but what can be
done to prevent it from happening?

That was it - thanks.  I had a nice new /etc/sysconfig/msec.rpmnew which 
is empty - that will do fine.
