[Cooker] Partition problem during text installation.
I must congratulate Mandrake for a job well done, Mandrake Air was a pleasure to install. It was only to bad that I could not use the graphical installation (it seams like it does not support the SIS6326 during installation), I had to use the text installation (I started it by typing "linux text" at the boot prompt). And it is during this installation there is still a bug (I think it is a bug), after selecting the language and selecting typical installation I got the message "No Partition" and this was it the installation stops (you can't do anything any more). Then I made the partitions by hand with a old boot disk and after I did this the installation went without any problem (except not detecting my mouse). For all clarity i'm using Mandrake air 7.0 and I was trying to install it on a empty hard disk (no partition at all). Hope this helps (also hope you will provide support for the SIS6326 chip in the GUI installation). Hans Van Leemputten __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

True. But for example, in the kernel spec there is a lot of
%ifarch i386 i486 i586 i686 k6 k7
But notice these are all i386 compatible, now what could we use?
if [ $RPM_BUILD_ARCH = "i386" ]; then ... endif?
$RPM_BUILD_ARCH is the wrong thing to check.
maybe
if [ "%{_arch}" = "i386" ]; then
endif
would work.

This has saved me a lot of time in the next 2 ISOs I downloaded! I hope there will be a less buggy release in the future. To select all packages, you can click one time on each packages class in the big rpm class list (don't unroll the tree, just click on class, they'll get white : it means all packages of this class are selected) Pixel: i think that add the "select all" button is a good idea -- www.linux-mandrake.com somewhere between the playstation and the craystation Thierry

from the quill of Jeff Garzik [EMAIL PROTECTED] on scroll [EMAIL PROTECTED] A _very_ good client for crypto. Yes, indeed! IPsec is the standard for future encryption Internet communcations. Again, indeed. So do we put it into the kernel spec? I have it in my kernel spec file right now, building a "freeswan" package. My spec builds it as a module so the only thing that really needs to be done to my spec file to complete the job is to have the module excluded from the regular kernel modules and included in the freeswan package such that the freeswan package can be held back from the CD due to the crypto. I will do this last part, merge the changes into the most recent kernel spec and submit if I get a go ahead that it actually make it into cooker. b. -- Brian J.

[Cooker] Cooker/Oxygen/Air
I don't usually do "straight comments" on techo-issues being the "Clue-less-One" but seeing that even staff of MandrakeSoft have a varience of opinions is a good sign in my opinion. Many of you have helped me out at one time or another, as I progressed from 6.0-6.1-7.0bOxygen-7.0Air- 7.0Air+Cooker. At times I wonder where its all heading? The least trouble to install, get printers,NIC cards, scsi-scanner,networking,sound, audio permissions to all local trusted users, seemed to be 6.0, 6.1 seemed to have some nice features though the printer-prob first time in 3 years caused me to scream. Getting a Test Machine networked to test 6.1+7.0b was lots of fun and the networking, printing both remote and local, Sound. general atitude of it all seemed very promising. I was very surprised when not only the Name, i.e. Oxygen, was changed to Air (Air without Oxygen will kill humans and of course too much Oxygen makes humans giddy); but found no mention of a "freeze" for the "stable" 7.0 and just stumbled across it from one day to the next when I could not find the Cooker RPMS. And of course a reboot has brought never-before -seen probs, but be that as it may; The Staff (you know who you are) are amongst the most helpful I have ever found, Just wish a Mandrake Convention would come to Alaska and setup shop and save us taxpayers a few $ by weaning the State off the Big M$. Anyhow I realize it was probably a marketing decision to get 7.0 out the door, but we seemed to be so close to geting the 7.0b "firmed up"?! In addition I too have wondered with RH and L-M why "everything" meant "mostly"?! I am in the process of "converting" several individuals over to dual-boot systems some of whom would have some influence in certain technological decisions being made in the coming decade with state and local agencies. I am not the only one as I read comments from many in the "arena" including other fellow penguins in Alaska. Please keep some of the goals for Linux-Mandrake not only, nice to look at and cutting edge, but reliable and flexible and May The Staff Keep Their Sense of Humor and Helpfulness Intact. Thanks You for You Patience :) William Bouterse Juneau Alaska
Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
So ..I take it from the reponses that Mandrake Staff Do not care what end users think? Only Linux Gurus and geekheads matter. Hm Smells of a Microsoft Attitude to me. I just want a stable system. I want a customizable system. I want a system that I can learn with. Is that to much to ask? Maybe I am not a developer/coder/compiler kind of person. I do know what I am. I am an end user/computer business owner that builds his own machines and machines for others. I know that when I put hardware in a system it needs to be able to work with the OS... let me rephrase that... maybe this is the whole industry problem the OS needs to work with ANY hardware. What a Novel Idea. I just think it was real odd that the oxygen iso was stable... at least it seem that way. Then along comes AIR 2 different upload times and a mandrake7.0 iso in a different directory all in the same night? I just don't understand why there wasn't a "stable" version out. Kernels are tested... listed as stable when they are ready for end users to download. Why not with OS distros? I feel like I am being laughed at because I am unable to get mandrake 7.0 to stay working for more than a day. Beleive me... If it was my fault it was screwing up I would be FIRST to admit it.

[Cooker] Cannot connect to ftp
Even tho it shows my inet is up and running, I cannot connect to my ftp (user, anonymous, root). So far, I had to enter my hostname manually into the httpd.conf and postfix (main.cf) config files manually. Although this finally got my httpd up and running, my ftp is still down. The following is the furthest it gets in cuteftp: If I use netscape or ie, I get an error such as permission error or not available or folder nameetc. Please advise (I need my ftp accessability!), Roger [EMAIL PROTECTED] (please respond via email) STATUS: Connecting to 24.13.20.26 STATUS: Connecting to 24.13.20.26 (ip = 24.13.20.26) STATUS: Socket connected.

[Cooker] Is Lenny alive???
Hey, I decided that rather than always bombarding this mailing list with bug reports, it would be easier to make some of the fixes myself and provide the new SRPM. I also thought it would be nice to contribute to the "contrib" group... so I sent the message as per instructions on the Cooker page. Not a peep since. Is Lenny on holidays or something? Or should I be making that request elsewhere now? John

Re: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
not sure as windows 2000 won't even use my cd burner but I have burned at least 4 cd's that I can remember using mandrake 7.0 to burn them and they all worked great. With these few problems 1) they won't work with the kenwood true speed cdroms 2) they also won't work on at least some older cdroms. Like for instance an old 6x I had laying around but it also wasn't able to view the cdrom from dos.

[Cooker] /usr/include/bits/string2.h warnings
I get a ton of warnings, during some compiles, that originate from this header file. The interesting thing is that any program built and getting these warnings will bomb badly when executed. The most recent one I've encountered this with is the rpm-3.0.3-43mdk.src.rpm, I actually had to pull down the slackware version of rpm, unpack it and manually copy it over just to re-install the original binary RPM! Any ideas? The GNU site doesn't indicate anything. John
[Cooker] ICQ Program
Sorry to mail the whole list, but I can't find the info elsewhere. I remember seeing a message a week or so ago about a program that would connect to ICQ and to AIM through the same interface. I can't find any info on this program and have deleted the message. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks Brad
Re: [Cooker] Problems with Scsi-Emulation (Air)
so if I just blew up my scd0 by using your command line below instead of checking to make sure that it was correct " it should have been ln -fs scd0 cdrom2" how do I get back my scd0? "Guy T. Rice" wrote: Silvio Mazzaro wrote: Il lun, 24 gen 2000, webmedic ha scritto: Actually the cdburner will work just fine under 7.0 without recompiling the kernel. Without SCSI emulation enabled? And Generic SCSI Support enabled? My CD-RW... is IDE-ATAPI... If I'dont recompile the kernel, there'so no way to make it works(the CD-RW, I mean) Air will auto-detect most ATAPI CD-Writers and automatically add a line in lilo.conf to append something like "hdd=ide-scsi" so that SCSI emulation is automatically enabled. Recompiling the kernel is unnecessary, support for this is provided in the stock kernel. Mine worked without doing anything. Is it SCSI or ATAPI? Mine is ATAPI, and it worked fine right out of the box for CD burning. However, I wasn't able to mount CD-ROMs normally using supermount (see below). For some reason my cdburner doesn't seem to like supermount though so I left it out. Mine too: The problem with supermount is actually a problem with Mandrake's installer. Because it is enabling SCSI emulation for your CD-Writer, it should make /dev/cdrom2 (or whichever link corresponds to your CD-Writer) a link to /dev/scd0, but instead it makes a link to /dev/hdd (or whichever IDE drive it is), which makes the CD-Writer unusuable for _reading_ CD-ROMs. Execute these commands: cd /dev ln -fs cdrom2 scd0 (replacing "cdrom2" with the appropriate link) and your CD-Writer will once again be readable, and will work fine with supermount. -- Guy T.

Re: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
If you made this mitake, you can moint the CD, but you will still see only one file on the CD, air.iso (or Mandrake70.iso, depending on which site you got it from) Sam Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Try to read the cd in a file manager. If it says air.iso is a file on the CD and that's all you see, you didn't set things up properly before starting. you can mount it under linux via -o loop, but it's a nono for install :ppp
RE: [Cooker] Air ISO boot problems.
I had that happen too. It was caused when I did a restart from windoze. I shut the system down, did a cold boot, and everything worked fine. Why? I dunno . . .
