Re: [Cooker] Kaiman locked my machine.
Yes, moving to kernel 2.2.18.0 seems to have fixed the problem for me. No lockups yet. I'm still running Mandrake 7.2 and not yet Cooker. Hopefully, the code that fixed this problem is making its way into the 2.4.test kernels, as well.

[Cooker] Re: iso image files
Is anyone posting cooker iso files anywhere? I only have a slow T-line connection (about 300kbs) and it's very difficult to download all of the individual files and keep them all matched up so that they install correctly. It would be really helpful to post these iso files, maybe even weekly ones, so that people like me who are just beginning to figure Linux out can see what the new version's like.
Re: [Cooker] mkisofs and the old rpmslist
Thanks. I find on Redhat they use bash2 to refer to the up-to-date bash. And I have another problem, it seems that the rpmslist is not up-to-date, I find several packages are not in the same name (like qt2-libqt2). Is there anyone working on a update of the rpmslist.

[Cooker] BitchX is not GPL

Re: [Cooker] A thing called kapm-idled is taking over my machine !
you now what idle mean ? There's no need to be rude ! All I was doing was reporting that on the Mandrake 2.4 kernel gtop reports kapm-idled as using somewhere between 40 and 80% CPU while on the Red Hat 2.4 kernel it is reported as 0%. And it would appear that I'm not alone. I could post a report to the Kernel list, but since it happens with the Mandrake kernel but NOT the Red Hat one I thought I would start with the Mandrake list. If it "doen't do anything" then why is it using 40 - 80% CPU resource ? This was supposed to be a constructive observation !

[Cooker] What's the best way to install Cooker?
Is it better to update from LM 7.2 to cooker, or better to do a clean install? The reason why I ask is that when I tried doing a clean install of cooker a couple weeks ago, I found I had not menu items in KDE, Gnome, or any other window manager. Adding all these items manually by hand wasn't very appealing to me, so I scrapped it and decided to wait until Cooker "cooked" a little more. Has anyone else had this problem?

RE: [RE: [Cooker] Re: iso image files]
while I realise that there would be a possible sync issue. there are ways to minimize that. CRC of the filenames for example. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it would be trivial to do, but I am sure it could save a tremendous amount of time for people who can't get a full fileset before the next update. Probably down to about 1 cent now ;-) Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Quel Qun Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 7:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RE: [Cooker] Re: iso image files] "Chris Young" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree that it would be better that way. in fact, I thought there was supposed to be a current Cooker ISO set available on linuxberg, but I couldn't find it.

Serial is not clean and should be avoided each time this is possible. No, I don't think so. Since 2 1, you can leave the serial at 2 if you wanted. It doesn't have to be incremented like the release number, and it's not really part of the version and wouldn't need to be listed. I think it is *only* used because either a) RPM is braindead or b) the software version numbers are braindead. This said, maybe 1.0c17 is older than plain 1.0 ? But as far as I can see on freshmeat for example (http://freshmeat.net/projects/BitchX), the author did not bother to follow an understandle naming scheme. I think it is newer. BitchX has had an odd version scheme, e.g. 68 68a 68b 68d 75p1 75p2 75p3 1.0 1.0b 1.0c 1.0c11 1.0c17 These are some examples. It does seem a little hard to follow. Also, understanding that 1.0-0.c17 is effectively the 1.0c17 version is not so hard (provided the user is featured with a brain). I understod that because I knew what the 'real' version was. But 1.0-0.c17-1mdk ... wait that's one too many dashes there isn't it? It's confusing because is it the version number or release number. In this case it is both. -- Sincerely, David Walluck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
