Re: [Cooker] updating kernel through rpms
Peace I am happy to report that my kernel upgrade 2.2.15 to 2.2.16 went smoothly. Everything seems to work as before, including sound. All i did was download the rpms and installed it with kpackage. I was wondering if I did something wrong to get it working right :) -- Amien Salie No Fate But What You Make ... Registered Linux User #76190. register @ http://counter.li.org/

Check whether you are really running 2.2.16 or still the old kernel (uname -r). Also check whether you have a /lib/modules/2.2.16 directory and that it is full of modules. I would like to know, since previous kernel RPMs left out the matching modules, so I lost faith with the process. -- Regards, Ron. [AU] - sent by Mandrake Linux.

Re: [Cooker] RPM(s) worst enemy but Mandrake's best friend...
I have no doubt that your reasons for Unix failure in the MS dominated desktop market is true, what you have explained is what the situation was, which gave MS there opportunity to take what they now have. My reference to "the Unix vendors were divided against themselves" is simply that while they were focused on each other, MS was allowed to go unchallenged and gain there foot hold into the market. It was not impossible for Unix vendors to challenge MS and produce an alternative, infact they were too short sited to see the threat MS posed. It took a Scandinavian Penguin Lover (Linus) and other Heroes to prove that Unix has a place on the desktop, when Unix vendors chose to overlook this. What I was trying to get across in this thread was that while we are fighting trivial battles like which package management software is better or even worst which flavor of Linux is better i.e. Linux people divided against themselves, MS and its like can only gain from this. Ask not what we can do for Mandrake or Debian, but ask what we can do for Linux! :) Amien -- No Fate But What U Make...

A better answer would be to look at what were at that time the targetted markets, the price of the different softwares, the requirements on hardware and the price of such hardware... Heh. True. At the time Windows was making inroads into business, you needed a mainframe (or at the least an extremely powerful PC) to run Unix. Your average desktop machine just didn't have the power. Unix on the desktop wasn't really a possibility until very recently (relatively speaking -- seems recent to me, but I've been computing since 1982; ah the heady days of the 16K computer plugged into the TV, those were the days). If someone hadn't been kind enough to drop a SPARCstation on my desk for free during the early 90's, I'd have never spent the money on a Unix workstation. Today, it's actually cheaper to build a Unix box (thanks to Micros~1 Windows license fees). Funny how things change...
