Yo, If I understand correctly, the first CD is 200 M? I have an upgraded system, that I upgrade daily, and therefore don't have a way of installing from CD. - If Windows is also on the computer, DrakFont gives the user access to his Windows fonts under Linux. BUG: If C:/windows/fonts doesn't exist then check C:/winnt/fonts for winnt users (like me). You may even want to check a few more directories like win95, win98, or something, but pkease definately check foir C:/winnt/fonts. uggh, you got UNIX fever. it's a backslash under M$ :-) i propose a more elagant way. since i've not used drakfont before...so i dunno if this features is already there: how about we let users specify the windows path? and btw, how do you know that the stuff is necessarily going tob e on /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 ? i have got my NT installed on D:\ ... or maybe something like find . -name '*.ttf' -print fontlist.txt uh, yuou know what i'm talking about. it??? - Now includes brand new XFree 4.0 servers, with new modular architecture.

ok excuse My ignerence but what is the difference between GPL and LGPL? and other such licences is there a good place to go to find out the different licences and such LGPL stand for "Library GPL" and allow a binary program to link to a LGPL library. No, not really. :-) i think a more correct one would be "lesser GPL". LPGL is not necessarily for .so files, it can be for others as well. but in all, LGPL is less restrictive than GPL, and does allow proprietary programs to link to LGPL stuff while for GPL, anything linked must also be GPL. however, you can link GPL stuff to non-GPL libraries, one of the good examples is KDE, because KDE uses qt library, which has a really ugly qt license ... -- -- Yoann, http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~yoann/ It is well known that M$ products don't call free() after a malloc().

[Cooker] Important drakxtools error

as main german translator of Mandrake 7.1 manuals I wanted to shoot
new/missing screenshots. The first of my list was the "adduserdrake".
I startet the program as root and realized that it startet in english, even
with my german environment for root. As I knew the strings were translated
to german (I didi it myself ... ;-), I had a closer look at the problem.
A simple strace showed up the problem:

* I made a symlink in "/usr/lib/libDrakX/po" from "de.po.bz2" to
"de_DE.po.bz2". With that link everything went well.
I suppose this problem will also accour with all other locaes ...
Why is "adduserdrake" not looking for "de.po.bz2" as a fallback from
"de_DE.po.bz2" ?
As a quick hack you can add symlinks for all languages, but I think there
must be an other solution ...
Why are those files not in "/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/DrakX.mo"?
I think this would solve your problems ...
Why have I translated all tis stuff if noone uses it (when correct l18n is
used ...), so please try to correct it for 7.1. I will continue using
german screenshots so far (produced with the symlink) ...
BTW: I've attached the image currently used in the english version
(adduserdrake.gif) which differs from the one I get when I start
"adduserdrake" from my currently installed "drakxtools-1.1.1-5mdk"
(adduserdrake-sg.gif). Which one will be in 7.1 ?

P.S. To be a bit less abrasive, here is a much more polite way to set the default font for you: (set-face-font 'default "-*-Fixed-Medium-R-*-*-*-130-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1") You should use this in place of the line (setq default-frame-alist '((font .

[Cooker] Bug in Hydrogen/Cooker script by Kenny Graunke
L.S., If I'm completely wrong here, I would like to apologize for the intrusion As I was adapting the new script to generate ISO images for Mandrake 7.1-BETA (Hydrogen) to my needs, I discovered that directory 'cd1' is not created. I guess there's a typo here... Is: mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/tmp **mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd2 mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd2/Mandrake/RPMS2 Should be: mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/tmp **mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd1 mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd2/Mandrake/RPMS2 Also several 'line-breaks' should be adapted for the 'mv' commands, or '\' should be used.

[Cooker] 7.1b faults
I updated my mirror of "cooker" last evening and did a new install. I have a couple of problems that I didn't have with previous installs. 1.) I find that the root KDE desktop does not have any applications installed in the taskbar as it has in the past (It now has only the "K" (application launcher), Desktops switcher, Logout and Lock, along with the 4 desktop buttons (default). 2.) When right clicking on the root KDE desktop, you can now add a new folder only, but now applications, url's, etc. As I recall, this was a problem in the past on user desktops, but not root. Now, the user desktops are OK, but root doesn't have the ability to add applications. 3.) The error message, "can't create modem lock file", occurs when attempting to use kppp from a user desktop, which has been usable in the past. Jim Bradley -- Maryville, MO USA ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: [Cooker] Bug in Hydrogen/Cooker script by Kenny Graunke
It seems a modified version has made it to the webpage... : ) It doesn't
run, though... : ( I've attached (yet another) updated version which
should (hopefully) fix this. As previously mentioned, the first cd is
still too big due to it moving things it shouldn't - and it grumbles
whenever it can't find things (try moving foo* then foo-python*, you see
what I mean?) I am currently testing it, but have to leave very soon -
sorry.
It seems to still have problems:

./FOO: genfilelist: command not found
As I was adapting the new script to generate ISO images for Mandrake
7.1-BETA (Hydrogen) to my needs, I discovered that directory 'cd1' is not
created. I guess there's a typo here...
Nope, it's not a typo, it's a worthless line... : )
Is:
mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/tmp
**mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd2
mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd2/Mandrake/RPMS2
Should be:
mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/tmp
mkdir -p $mdkLOCALROOT/cd2/Mandrake/RPMS2
Why? The script creates the cd2 directory, and moves the appropriate
files into it. cd1 contains everything else, so I just mv (rename) the
"mirror" directory to cd1. I just thought it would be easier to rename
the directory than to create a new one, move everything into it, and
remove the old one. If you create cd1, things will be in cd1/mirror/
instead of cd1/ (totally screwed up).
Also several 'line-breaks' should be adapted for the 'mv' commands,
or '\' should be used.
Yes - it seems somehow when it was put on the webpage a lot of
linebreaks ended up in things. : (
Thanks!

[Cooker] Suggestions...
Hey Pixel- I would appreciate that you didn't answer my mails anymore. Do you really think you know everything?? Many of us are not programmers, but know a great deal about beta testing, as well as other things in life. I was under the assumption that Mandrake wanted this all tested, and our suggestions put forth. If this is not the case, then please let me know and I will gladly unsub-scribe. I perceive you as an arrogant programmer with no public skills. Did you really check out suggestions 1 and 2? The rpmslist doesn't say which CD the rpms go on. And drakboot doesn't have the MakeBootDisk button on it (unless I'm blind, in which case my humblest apologies). I would also suggest someone replace the stars on the progress bar of the installer with small rectangles no taller than the text. The stars really cheapen the installer (IMHO), and little colored rectangles would be much more professional, and would give more room for text and it would make it look not so crowded. Again, I would appreciate someone other than a programmer answer my mails. Someone with some tact, and that will not put-down the humble beta testers, new or not. I suggest Mandrake appoint one person with these public skills to act as an intermediary between the programmers and the Cooker list. Especially for suggestions vs. bugs. -Bill = 1) Would it be possible to divide up the RPMs to the 2 different directories (RPMS vs. RPMS2) for the two different CDs on all the Cooker mirror sites? This would be a BIG HELP in keeping them up to date. the list is (now) in Mandrake/base/rpmslist 2) A MakeBootDisk button on the DrakConfig control panel would be handy. there is via drakboot 3) On the installer: I suggest that on the first section when we are talking about SCSI, that the first question should be: Do you have any SCSI devices then if not, then skip this section completely. If you do then ask the next question: Do you want to search for (SCSI) devices then continue from that point. it seems to be a good idea. I must be look at what it could break though :-/ (very frozen here!)
