I find that the pppd dials out and connects properly but nothing more I

Thanks Tom, I reinstalled Mandrake 7.2 and used the generic Savage 2000
(which I also did on the 1st install) and it is working this time. Don't

The simplest way is to use 'cc'. Assuming somefile.c looks something
like this,
main() {
printf ("Hello Merle\n");
}
You can feed it to cc like this:
$ cc somefile.c
That will either complain

Joseph, you are correct. I don't want to use fdisk because it will delete
windows. I have used partition magic before, and I might give it a try.
Installing Mandrake without creating a new partition is still my first
priority unless there is no other option. I also only have the 1.5Gig

Does anyone have any experience with installing 7.2 onto a Tosh 4200. The

The patch I got is s3savage-1.0-13.tar.gz. I
If you have a seperate /home you can save it otherwise you need to do 7.2 as
a new install Not as an upgrade.
KDE2 and directory structure changes will cause problems if if the

As an owner of a Savage4 card (same as the S540)...
Why switch from Voodoo3 2000 PCI to a Savage4 AGP? The V3 is more
widely supported, can be used under XFree86, and is at least as fast as
the Stealth on 16 bit graphics. The only advantage of the Stealth is that
it can handle 32 bit graphics.
The general opinion I have heard here is to do your back ups
and go for a new install. Apparently the differences
between 7.1 and 7.2 are simply too great for a simple upgrade
to overcome.

it is possible somehow (I mean the system will be useable after the

It is a Pioneer DVD-ROM, DVD-115.
The CD where the problem occures is not burnt, at least not by myself.
It is a manufacturers CD. CD8 Components from the Mandrake package. The

In windows filemanager the files are there.
