Re: [Cooker] hd.img
Maybe try this... When you have the new version of Mandrake installed (assuming RC1), boot up into X. Mount your Extensions ISO once you are booted. Open up DrakConf, and use the "Live update" (hope Symantec doesn't mind Mandrakesoft using their trademark :-P). Live update allows you to update from directly within a working Linux installation, rather than using the install CD and choosing the Update (or Rescue) option.

Re: [Cooker] LS-120 drives??
Yeah, but can you actually create a bootdisk from directly within the install program? This is probably where I, and most others, would use it the most, considering that floppies and their replacements are basically outdated for everything EXCEPT bootdisks. - Original Message - From: "Ben Reser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [Cooker] LS-120 drives?? > My LS120 works just fine under 7.2. > > On Sun, Oct 15, 2000 at 09:55:08PM -0400, Nate Coffey wrote: > > > >Has anyone had any luck with creating bootdisks, autoconfig disks, > >etc. using a LS-120 (aka Superdisk) drive?

Re: [Cooker] rebutal
Is this almost over yet??? All this BS about what country is better, which one lost what war, etc, etc, etc. It is pretty sad when you have to sort messages by subject, then just delete everything that has the subject "Rebutal". I am sick of this, and if anyone else agrees, please voice your opinion too! I mean, I could be wrong, but that would assume that a Mandrake mailing list doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the software we are trying to support. If you really want to complain, head over to RedHat's mailing list and b*tch and moan there, so the rest of us civilized Linux users can carry on with what really matters. ]-[?Re§ia®Çh - Original Message - From: "Ben Reser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 10:24 PM Subject: Re: [Cooker] rebutal > On Sun, Oct 15, 2000 at 04:25:45PM +0200, Alexander Skwar wrote: > > Yes, you Americans are the best.

[Cooker] mousdrak
I was trying to use MousDrak in 7.2b3, but to no avail... it doesn't start, doesn't give me any error messages, just nothing. I was just wondering if this has been fixed in 7.2rc1. If this has been answered in another message, sorry, I just joined this list yesterday (please show MERCY!!! :-) ) Thanks, ]-[€Re§ia®Çh
[Cooker] LS-120 drives??
Has anyone had any luck with creating bootdisks, autoconfig disks, etc. using a LS-120 (aka Superdisk) drive? I would like to be able to create these disks (especially from within the install), and it seems to be working, but then I find out that the perl script fails because it assumes that it should use /dev/fd0 the thing that baffles me, is that is correctly detects the drive as /dev/hdd, but yet doesn't change any parameters for the perl scripts for making the bootdisk. I have been trying to use this LS-120 since 7.0 (which didn't even detect the floppy as /dev/hdd) with no luck at all. I would hate to hear that I have revert back to the ancient component known as the 1.44MB floppy drive, which is terribly slow and limited or even worse, use both a 1.44MB floppy drive alongside the LS-120 drive (floppy drive replacement??? hmmm.)

[Cooker] Menu items in 7.2 beta 3
Does anyone else have a problem with the menu system and taskbar? When I try to open several different programs, whether from the menu system or taskbar, they simply don't open. KControl didn't open until I removed the "%c" parameter from its shortcut, and I thought this would solve the problem, but this is the only program I found that could be resolved in this way. I haven't had any problem with using the Alt+F2 Run box for these same programs I don't know, maybe this is more of a minor annoyance than anything else, but it would be nice to have a working menu system immediately after installing Mandrake.
