Re: [Cooker] About *not* playing windows media?
Good idea! :-) Libavi, xtheater? XMPS seems a little on the buggy side? Cheers Kon > Well I can provide the DivX plaer wihtout the codecs, that should be legal.
[Cooker] About *not* playing windows media?
Exactly. After all, the DivX codec is a rip of the Microsoft MPEG4v3 codec with broken 'protection' in effect allowing any application to encode video using the codec, not just MS media encoder. Bad move to put these in the Mandrake distro. I have a feeling MS will come out and sue these jokers too when they decide to release their supposed 'next generation divx'. Mandrake should stay as far away from this as possible. But as far as legitimate (i.e. non-divx) codecs go - why the heck not!

Its sad when it has to come to this but: Oh behalf of everyone with a *clue* and *manners* - take that statement and shove where the sun doesn't shine, dimbulb.

[Cooker] RPMDrake1.1-7mdk bug in cooker (27 Sep 00)
rpmdrake 1.1-7mdk Delete all the RPM sources from the preferences window and RPMDrake will not start (exits on opening). Reinstalling rpms does not work, and I have no idea where the init files are stored? Cheers Kon
[Cooker] Problem resolved - Base 7.1 + Gnome 1.2
Hi All, FYI I have fixed my problems with a base install of 7.1 and Gnome 1.2 from helixcode. Not sure if this has been addressed before, but anyway - Installing 7.1 with no optional packages (i.e. a clean 380Mb install w/X) as a development station and then installing the latest Gnome packages with the Gnome installer will break some things, namely: X will not start (missing libs required by gnome) DrakConf will be broken (gnome 1.2 screws up perl-gtk) 1. Install Gnome 1.2 2. Install lib-ungif, lib-tiff and lib-jpeg (they are not installed as part of the 7.1base) 3. (re)Install Perl-Gtk (if necessary, force) Everything should work 100% Cheers Kon
[Cooker] 7.1 / Cooker stripped down install - bugs?
Guys, Base installation of 7.1 (developer/expert) w/ no package groups, medium security - Installing Helix-gnome 1.2.x via helixcode.com & 'mandrake 7.0/7.1 install set' breaks the system. (gtk.pm gets toasted, X will not run (its a window manager issue, might be security, I have not had time to look further into it) Same type install as above but with current cooker ver (as of last night), but with only gnome packages installed from the install sets - Drakconf will not run, but apps fired from it such as harddrake etc will (individually). Are these known problems? ...they are reproducable. Cheers Kon
