Re: [Cooker] [REQUEST] Linux Progress Patch and Aurora in cooker
It doesn't have to be all or nothing. For instance, Aurora has this "textboot" kernel command line option that allows you to skip the graphical screen and go right down to the nitty gritty. I am not sure about LPP, but a really well designed system should support both "debug" and "end-user" modes. On Tue, 27 Feb 2001, R.I.P.

Hmm ... does not that happen when you install kernel-2.4.1-xxx RPM? I do not

RE: [Cooker] All: *new* mirrors & cookerdevel page
Hi: Thanks for the 2 cents. FYI, there was ONE site on the cookerdevel page list for Australia. There are several on the non-cooker download page. I'd like to have the full list of the " cooker " sites in Australia so that we can get M'Soft to add them while it's still possible. It is not possible to get that list from here. One of you resident Australians must provide the list if you want the list of Australian sites for cooker to be available to all of the other Australians by having it posted at the cookerdevel site page. So how about posting the list of URLs for the sites where you can get cooker in Australia? - rsync too. I'll try to get them added if you do. HAGD! rj Linux: Get it. Use it.

No we are only on Mandrake so we don't have to worry about portability beyond Mandrake in this case, but as a general rule this method is more portable and you don't have to fuss with brackets. Also because [ is just a symlink to test, it *must* have a space before an after, similaryly with ] which is just a null link. Make sure you have spaces on either side like [ blah ] not [ blah].

[Cooker] [REQUEST] Linux Progress Patch and Aurora in cooker
Hello anyone on the mandrake team, Assuming we would like for a totally user friendly "face" to a mandrake system booting up, Aurora seems to be a big step forward, could you integrate the Linux Progress Patch as well - so end users would never have to see "scary" text messages when the system is booting up?

Good idea. But first, we should force the computer to reboot if the list

[Cooker] Does this idea have a Catch-22...?
Got my DSL the other day and have started tracking Cooker via Ron's script... Anyway, my system has 2 extra partitions which used to hold a previous distro, and I've been pondering the possibility of installing Cooker onto these partitions from my live system. In other words, NOT with the install kernel... So... anyone know of any catch-22 (other than code not yet available :^) which would prevent installations being done to separate / & /usr partitions while the system is live? The idea is to install a new version in background, get all the parameters from the running system; then rebooting for a minimum of downtime... The next challenge would be to switch to the new version on-the-fly; but I believe that is already being worked on IIRC. :^) Pierre
[Cooker] All: *new* mirrors & cookerdevel page
Hi all: I modified and submitted a new cookerdevel.php3 page for all to use. The mirror sites have been updated -many new ones- and organized by location(CoO). Alix and Frederic have dutifully posted the info for you. Please review: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.new.php3 . The goal was to make life easier for all cookers by (a) update the sites list ; (b) make it clearer that cooker is *NOT* for everyone and, thereby, make it easier for 'Spam! Stop! quit! don't mail...' and other such nonsense from bozos to never happen or to be easily reversed by them if they are still too 'confused'; and (c) keep all the same text, style and humor in the page...as much as possible. It did not change very much, except for the mirrors list. The sites list has already been added to http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 if you just want the list. A few sites were dropped. If your fav site is gone and you *know* that it works, it can be easily re-inserted now... later idunno. Also, there are some Country of Origin's(CoO) city locations that I could not pin down(easily). If you know the city location for one that is missing, please edify me. It's no big deal but would make the list more complete = pretty. Enjoy! rj Linux: Get it. Use it. Improve it. === __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

In theory. In practise, I've already reported a bug in that the user agent is not "sticking" - ie, you set it and it forgets it. Also, some sites want more than just the user agent. For example, espn.go.com will ignore the user agent and uses the browser identity, and to helll with the standards. So, you'll never have Konqueror work properly with this site, no matter how hard you try unless you modify the Konqueror source. That said, Opera does lie and identify itself as IE or Netscape and it does display espn properly. although I haven't been able to make it happy with fonts yet. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[Cooker] Why don't recent kernels build initrd?
Hi all!
I've noticed that since, uhmm, kernel-2.4.0-xx no initrd is automatically
built when updating the kernel package. (Hmm, thinking of it, has it ever
been built automatically?)
Well, why is this? IMO it would be better if the initrd were built. As I
imagine (without looking at the .spec), it's just one additional command for
the %post section:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-%{version}-%{release} %{version}-%{release}
This should do it. And so that fixing of /boot/grub/menu.lst is not
necessary when updating kernels, I've also added a symlink
/boot/initrd -> /boot/initrd-%{version}-%{release}.img
This way, if only /boot/initrd is referenced in /boot/grub/menu.lst,
/boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't need to be touched.
I assume that something similiar also holds true for LILO, but I don't use
LILO anymore, so I can't say for sure. I guess that a call to /sbin/lilo
would be necessary if LILO is used.

[Cooker] Hi! (new member)
Hi! I have just subscribed to the list, and I will introduce myself at first. My name is Juan Manuel García Molina, I'm spanish and I'm 23 years old. I am a Computer Engineer, and I work in a small company related to the Internet. And ... what about Linux & Mandrake? Well, I started with Linux a few years ago (4 years. I think). In the distros., I've worked with RedHat, Slackware, SuSe, Corel and Mandrake. Now, I've 2 machines: an AMD K6-2 with Mandrake 7.1, and an AMD Athlon with Mandrake 7.2. Mainly, I work with K6 (Mandrake 7.1). Other things related to Linux: I translate a few packages into Spanish (KDE, GNOME and Linux-Mandrake). Well, and ... how may I help? I was thinking in contributing some packages related to multimedia. I am interested in XMPS, like XMMS, but allows to see audio/video contents, and OMI (mainly, for playing DVD under Linux). I make a few rpms fot that packages, but they need "Mandrakizing" to suit this distro, so I will have to work a little bit in them. Mainly, this is me. Any comments, suggests, etc. will be wellcome. Thanks. --- Juanma

[Cooker] DrakConf, password dialog - different look'n'feel
Some plugins use kde_su (I think) while others obviously use there own widgets to request root passord. These are drakfloppy harddrake userdrake drakfont all others use KDE dialog. KDE dialog differs much from what is used by DrakConf itself and all other pligins so I guess it is more appropriate.

[Cooker] db3 is a mess, so ask/offer to split it...
Hi All, The db3 spec was very ugly currently, is it copied from redhat? I guessed so because of those "%%ifos linux" lines.. there were db3 packages for Slowaris, I think? (Oh shouldn't ask, confirmed it myself) Mandrake shouldn't need this "%%ifos"... Besides, nss_db is merged inside, and building db3 also builds nss_db/nss_db-compat building 3 source trees in a package doesn't look good at all. It's commented in spec that nss_db should be splited out ASAP, yet seems nobody is willing/have time to do so. If there is no time for everybody else, I can try it. Please give me a green light if there's no problem! Abel Cheung

The correction of this side effect is done by including basesystem in package to update, but it your case, there is a bug that prevent to make the initscripts-5.60 a base package (as its ancestor 5.27) which will allow him to include all the dependancies.
