This doesn't mean a socalled global HAS tobe put into the global path, they could all be stuffed into /usr/share/"prog\pkg" to allow for version mixing.. About rpm. There is nothing in rpm that would disallow useing two or more concurrent versions of a package. The problem here is the .rpm's just aren't designed for this, which is obvious when you rpm -i and get file conflicts. The way around this is useing a Nomad(tm?) approach.

It need to know the freespace, it's easier to check them all than to

Some files listed in the rpm(kdebase) don't get installed, mostly under
/usr/share/apps. It happens with some other rpms also (egcs) here. Use
rpm2cpio to get the files, chown em and put them inplace and you'll be up

dots are ok. but watch where you put them or the numbering gets all
fubar. The milestone should be a piece of the %{version} IMO, because
thats what it is isn't it, but you'd still need to workout a numbering
scheme.
And probably the best thing todo is continue the

:-) You updated emu10k1 from cvs again I see, strange it removed the
modifications though. on or about line 619 of mixer.c change
{ SOUND_MIXER_MIX, 0xWhatever },
to
{ SOUND_MIXER_MIX, 0x },

No. First off I never said to use nodeps. You want to install it along side of the older version, breaking as little as posible in the mean time. If you use nodeps you do not get told about the missing file (tracking it down now) in libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk (libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5), it would be pretty much useless > What happens if you force 1.1.5 on and then remove 1.1.3?

Give me another two hours and i will have a full explination.
But it does accept 'Provides: kernel = %{version},' I'm checking
'Provides: kernel,' now. It should read the package version but I'd like

it's a spec bug, it reads
Provides: kernel=%{version} module-info kernel-fb
it should read.
Provides: kernel = %{version} , module-info, kernel-fb
Shouldn't it?

So for rpm. it should be 3.0.4-0.2216 (umm i dunno if that format is the std right now but..), then after an official tarball is released it will be 1mdk, and the next CVS copy would be 1.20001010mdk (or whatever the "checkout" date) this would be probably most effective if it includes zulu time > Any other suggestion appreciated. > > Also, it would be great improvement if changelog messages contained a > link to the ftp location, to download in a single click associated rpm > and srpm.

Thanks. If you tryed it and it said anything other than 128Megs you did it wrong. It doesn't get a choice if you tell it it believes it. It does however still run a test on the memory, which points out things like shared memory which was point to be eugene. The usual cause for this is mismatched ram (those 12lb books they have to check ram, they really do need), purchase and install two identical 64meg chips and your problem will go away unless you still have the "memory hole" enabled (but i'm sure you've had an earfull of that) And to repeat, it doesn't have a choice if told correctly.

The first puts the mic mixer channels equal, maybe good maybe bad try it

The second changes the record to "line1" under aumix which actualy turns

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7 ISO V2 soon avalaible
Ok i can't hold back.. Do you really think they have alcohol funny car drivers stareing at the sky when the lights go green. They don't trust me my whole family drives or has driven. And quite personal if i'm working in the sun or snow damned right i'm going to find a way to get a roof up before anything else. A teepee is laced from top to bottom also. Basicly, top to bottom bottom to top who the f**k really cares it's not broke is it..? To change it for some philisophical reasons makes no sense. At first i thought you just wanted to run the install at a different resolution, which was a much better than "because so-in-so did yadda yadda". It has merit for machines with only a Television to display on that way atleast :) And it does that because he sets his reply-to, so we assume that means s/he needs or wants it, so we do not re-write them. You'll see them on others too. :) sorry i just thought it was a funny thread

I am not sure whether you are > agreeing or disagreeing with me in that sentence. To not use the 'make install' specificly the mknod and other such things you have to patch them out. To patch them out you must deal with the Makefile's, which means a patch (usualy), which means it will usualy need updated, which means more knowledge of the Makefile. So you might as well just do a 'make -n' and save your self the never ending patching cycle.
