Re: [Cooker] KDE2 RPMs
Hi all, In the spec files, the "Quick hack" part can be simpler. I use a modified spec script for compiling from CVS sources with some reasonable defaults for my Mandrake system. It seems only 'configure' needs patching to work with -lqt2. [...] make -f Makefile.cvs MOC=/usr/bin/moc2 sed -e 's/-lqt/-lqt2/g' configure \ | sed -e 's/-lqimgio/-lqimgio2/g' \ | sed -e 's/-lqimgio/-lqimgio2/g' configure.tmp mv configure.tmp configure rm -f configure.tmp chmod +x configure # then do the ./configure ; make ; make install stuff [...] Hope this helps David

Subject: [Cooker] Is the Tekram dc-390u2w Supported?
I was wondering if the Mandrake 6.1 or cooker is
supporting the Tekram dc-390u2w card. Really I was
hoping that someone was using it for reasurance
reasons. It has the symbios chipset so I think it
will work but will autoprobe find it? Please add some
insight to this if you know of anything about these
cards.
Thanks in advance,
Jake Johnson
To be precise, the driver is ncr53c8xx.
Note however that there are two drivers for this kind of cards: the
aforementioned ncr53c8xx and sym53c8xx, which supports more features of
*recent* controllers.
From /us/sr/li/Do/Configure.help:
This driver supports all the features of recent 53C8XX chips (used
in PCI SCSI controllers), notably the hardware phase mismatch
feature of the SYM53C896.
Older versions of the 53C8XX chips are not supported by this
driver. If your system uses either a 810 rev. 16, a 815, or a 825
rev. 16 PCI SCSI processor, you must use the generic NCR53C8XX
driver ("NCR53C8XX SCSI support" above) or configure both the
NCR53C8XX and this SYM53C8XX drivers either as module or linked to
the kernel image.
Hope this helps,

RE: [Cooker] Panoramix failed on x configuration
You have to configure the mouse with the keyboard before touching the mouse. I remember it being stated on the startup screen someplace. -Original Message- I re-installed cooker with the old installer and installed XF86Setup. It now no longer works at all, no matter what I do. The IMPS/2 mouse is not recognized and causes the mouse cursor to activate the button in the top right corner. I made a bug report 6 weeks ago about this. I think I'm going to put Linux away for a few months and check back in the new year.

[Cooker] Desktop Update Updates From Where?
Does the desktop update in cooker update from the cooker ftp sites? (I don't have cooker installed or I could answer my own question.) I remember a post about a hack to do it and a promise that it would be done and included. Hoyt

Re: [Cooker] bootnet,dhcp,3c905mba not working
Hi, I noticed that for the net install I had to send twice the dhcp request. I now understand where it comes from: The DNS server does not know about my machine name, so the install script fails because the reverse name lookup fails. I just need an IP, and the install goes on at the second time, popping up the correct domain name. I then just have to complete the host name. I think the install script should be modified to warn the user that the name lookup failed, instead of saying that the dhcp request failed (which is partially wrong). --- kel From: Niklas Paulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] bootnet,dhcp,3c905mba not working Date: Fri, 01 Oct 1999 18:17:42 + Hi, I'm trying to make a network installation using the latest cooker bootnet.img (from ftp.sunet.se). Dhcp/bootp just refuses to work. The nic is a 3com 3c905b-mba , mobo is a intel bx2. Dhcp is working correctly on the same machine when under normal operations and redhat/lorax bootnet is figuring out the dhcp. This is _really_ confusing, since I never had any problems before with 3c905 cards, thank you Donald Becker. When doing a tcpdump at the same time as the installations runs I can clearly see that the clients sends out dhcpdiscovers and gets a dhcpoffer from the server but no dhcpack in reply. _Maybe_ there is a bit to long delay between when the client is doing the dhcp request and the discover/offer packets show up in tcpdump. Any suggestions would be welcome, I have some 25 machines with the 905-mba nic waiting to be kickstarted /N -- Niklas Paulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Administrator at Dept. of Informatic , Göteborgs University "Linux isn't just an operating system: It's a way of life." - Andrew Leonard - Salon Magizine __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
