Re: [Cooker] HELP: Macmillan's packaging a pre-release of Mandrake7.2
Thanks,... Mandakesoft.com informed me that I needed to re-install Apache to enable it to connect to port 80. I've done so and now it works. I might say I'm very gratful to Jean-Michel for helping me with the solution. Now my copy of Mandrake 7.2 is better than Red Hat 7.0. I can do some real work with this OS. --Charles On Thu, 30 Nov 2000, mdk mailin list (Harry) wrote: Even after I installed all the many updates I'm still having problems with this OS. For example, I cannot connect to my http://localhost, and any other app that tries to connect to port 80 can't either. I installed the Apache updates, so why am I having such dam trouble? This might have next tonothing to do with the release issue or version numbr of your distro: * What is your security level set to? * Is your localhost entry in /etc/hosts? * Is your httpd running (check with ntsysv)? - Set your security level to medium. - /etc/rc.d/init/httpd restart See if this helps.

[Cooker] Help..., Mandrake Update still lists updated apps
I installed all the 7.2 updates, e.g., KDE 2.0, gimp 1.1.25-13, etc., etc., but Mandrake Update keeps on listing those installed and updated apps. Does anyone else have this problem? I started using Mandrake with 7.1 for about two weeks. Then I updated to 7.2, but if I remember correctly 7.1's Updater only listed what needed installing. Is this correct? If anyone knows how to have Mandrake Update list only those apps that need updating please post this how-to? I'll add you to my mantras. Thank you, Charles
Re: [Cooker] HELP: Macmillan's packaging a pre-release of Mandrake7.2
To all, I looked at my version file and it reads: Linux-Mandrake Powerpack Odyssey-i586 20001011 16:42 So it looks like I got the pre-release dated Oct 11. This is 3 weeks before the "real 7.2" came out, Nov. 2nd. Even after I installed all the many updates I'm still having problems with this OS. For example, I cannot connect to my http://localhost, and any other app that tries to connect to port 80 can't either. I installed the Apache updates, so why am I having such dam trouble? Another problem: when I configure my soundcard I lose my dialup connection to the internet. From some reason my IRQs get all fouled up. What the hell is going on. Another problem: I configured my USB printer and got it working for awhile, but for some dam reason it stopped working. So now I cannot print. Linux-Mandrake is a much better OS than any other OS I tried, RedHat, Win2000, Win98, Slackware, etc., but for some reason I feel I got screwed paying $79.00. If you ask me would I pay another $79.00 for a Mandrake release the answer is yes I would, but please advertize what you sell or I'll have to go to court over false advertising and have those that sold me the false package remit me the $79.00. A pray: Let's keep Mandrake the best Linux OS ever. Let's support these great Linux and Mandrake programmers, and let's sell the truth. --Charles Hurley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vincent Danen wrote: Please let's not start this whole thread over again... Macmillan never released a "pre-release" 7.2 and that is that. Í'm sorry, but you are misinformed. The first release of the real 7.2 was to downloaders on November 2 and was build version-dated October 27. This is the first 7.2 that was not specifically branded a 'release candidate'. It is this release that was the subject of the various release announcements made around Novenber 2 by Mandrake. Walmart and Macmillan were selling something erroneously labelled Mandrake 7.2, with a build version-date of October 12 or 15 before November 2. Them's the facts. So that is that! -- Regards, Ron.

[Cooker] HELP: Macmillan's packaging a pre-release of Mandrake 7.2
To all, I live in the US, and it seems rumor has it I brought a pre-release copy of Mandrake 7.2 from Macmillan. Well I did buy a Macmillan copy, but can someone please tell me how can I find out if this 7.2 copy is a true pre-release? Macmillan/Mandrake calls the box I brought: Linux-Mandrake 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe. Again, how can I tell if this is a pre-release? --Charles
