[Cooker] Clean install
Just attempted to install from scratch the latest image downloaded about 2 hours ago. I used Autoloader. I did a custom install and selected almost everything. I got two problems. All of a sudden it isn't detecting my NIC again. We had this happen about 3 weeks ago? Not sure what it was. Then when I skipped past it, at the end the boot loader failed. ?? When I try to boot now, Lilo is blasted. It hangs at LI

[Cooker] French preliminary Panoramix ranslation
Good evening, morning and afternoon, Since I remember reading the French translation was left behind, I attach a preliminary one. It's surely far from being perfect, but I know for reviewing a lot of translations that it's easier to modify what is already done than starting from scratch. Just hope it's never misleading.

Re: [Cooker] Neomagic Video Issues?
I have a XPi laptop and I have to modify manually the XF86Config at each install. I gave up hoping that it could be one day automatically detected and I don't let Xconfigurator probing anything. Also, I use an external monitor to get a better definition, because linux cannot (apparently) use a 1024x768 extended definition with a 800x600 LCD screen like windows. So, there are four things I have to find out or modify: 1. The monitor frequencies. You can set standard ones and tune it later with xvidtune. 2. The video ram: 1 meg (which allows 8bpp at 1024x768) 3. The definition: I set to 8bpp with 1024x768 4. The "extern_disp" option has to be validated or else X dies. Took me a while to figure that out, but it works. One last thing. X (or I :) screws up something when it initializes, and makes my screen totally red or green depending on the monitor. The colors only come back when I start gnome-terminal (nearly only this program). Don't ask me why I have no clue, surely a palette problem. The workaround is to always let a gnome-terminal open when I leave X, even with KDE.

This is in my Dell XPI 133, that I do most of my testing with. I have not tried yet with a newer Neomagic system (Dell CPi) What happens is that during the start of phase 2 install, it dumps with incorrect video sync specs and stops, also it doesn't detect memory.

[Cooker] Install fails at create bootdisk
Hi I have been trying unsuccessfully to get cooker to install. As I was unable to get the new panoramix to install (due to my video card not being recognised by panoramix, see my previous post) I am running through the old method, RH type install script. It fails every time on trying to install lilo or create a boot disk the rest of the install seems to work ok. I downloaded the 6.1b last night so I will see if that has the same problem. Chris

First the good news: - The slowness problem is gone. It's very quick now. really strange, i have no real clue... but i like it anyway ;-) - My parition table wasn't wiped! (Yay!) The bad news: After choosing my root partition, it asks which paritions to format (just between root and swap for me.) I clicked the root, then clicked OK. I then got the following error: all: can't opendir /tmp/rhimage/Mandrake/RPMS: No such file or directory I aborted at that point by hitting ctrl-alt-bs. well, you have a console on (ctrl)-alt-F2, could you look what the problem may be? it's been since i tested a hd install... must have broke something again :( or maybe you don't have a full mirror? When it dropped back to text mode, I noticed lots of "use of uninitialized variable" errors. It "use strict" being used? Maybe some checks for "defined($var)" need to be added? well, it takes time and sometimes dirty the code. But i try to remove them when i do have the time. Anyway, I'm a glutton for punishment. Let me know when this is fixed and I'll give it another whirl. (I think I should order a tape backup system. :) :) cu Pixel.

I was able to get the RH Xconfigurator to setup this chip once I got through the install with very little trouble. the problem is that the space is somewhat short... this require to add the SVGA server. The ramdisk is already (too) big. Maybe i should use 2 ramdisks, or allow graphic install with SVGA only with no ramdisks. Anyway, this problem needs solving. Maybe the FrameBuffer is another solution. cu Pixel.
Re: [Cooker] Specific, Integrated Linux solutions. Comments please!
GG From: Garrett Goebel [EMAIL PROTECTED] GG GG I'd like to see more configuration options in between. I remember when GG Linux, X, Networking, and Dev tools could all be fit on a 65MB HD with a GG little room left over. I used to laugh at Win95 taking up 65 MB of drive GG capacity... Now your average linux distribution will try to take 800+MB. GG The comparison is unfair. Well, sure, but imagine if Win98 included Photoshop and MS Office and MS Visual Studio, and *also* WordPerfect Office and other competing programs. That said, I agree that more gradations could be useful, but we have to be careful not to offer so many choices that the new user gives up in frustration, or chooses the wrong one for his needs. However, I'm not sure I like the idea of separate choices for KDE vs GNOME... I use GNOME for my desktop environment, but kppp for dialup, and when KOffice is officially released, I may use some of its apps as well. --- Aaron Peromsik | For thinner oatmeal, add more water.

Re: [Cooker] apache request for cooker
No, because I want to include mod_ssl, and the export regulations are tricky. Right now, MandrakeSoft France can't distribute it. Neither from the US: there's still the RSA patent, so it's not legal to use the standard mod_ssl in the US. It will have to come from either MandrakeSoft in Germany or NetRevolution in Canada. And for US-Based customers, I'll have to consult with a lawyer and check with RSA for the license. In the meantime, the e-commerce packages will be available for download only.
