Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
Yes.. I thought this would be the case also.. BUT.. after going on 7 clean Installs. I double checked...When you select a main category you assume it means EVERYTHING in that category will be selected. Just to double check I selected every category heading. Then I proceeded to expand EVERY tree. Guess what... there were intermittent packages NOT selected throughout the whole tree. Beleive Me I WANT mandrake 7.0 to work.I get it installed.. everytime.. something goes haywire to mess up the WHOLE system. I have tried it on 2 different machines. I have run ontrack diagnositc on the hard drive. I have run Western Digital Diag on the Hard drive... I even wrote zeros to the drive. HOPING it would fix the prob. It just seems to me that Oxygen was more stable than AIR. OXYGEN kicked! Take Care Chris
Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
So ..I take it from the reponses that Mandrake Staff Do not care what end users think? Only Linux Gurus and geekheads matter. Hm Smells of a Microsoft Attitude to me. I just want a stable system. I want a customizable system. I want a system that I can learn with. Is that to much to ask? Maybe I am not a developer/coder/compiler kind of person. I do know what I am. I am an end user/computer business owner that builds his own machines and machines for others. I know that when I put hardware in a system it needs to be able to work with the OS... let me rephrase that... maybe this is the whole industry problem the OS needs to work with ANY hardware. What a Novel Idea. I just think it was real odd that the oxygen iso was stable... at least it seem that way. Then along comes AIR 2 different upload times and a mandrake7.0 iso in a different directory all in the same night? I just don't understand why there wasn't a "stable" version out. Kernels are tested... listed as stable when they are ready for end users to download. Why not with OS distros? I feel like I am being laughed at because I am unable to get mandrake 7.0 to stay working for more than a day. Beleive me... If it was my fault it was screwing up I would be FIRST to admit it.

Take Care Chris Don't take this the wrong way... but i did have a vortex card and i now have a "sound blaster 16" hint hint I have a Sound Blaster AWE 64 gold sound card in my secondary computer...

(this is under Windoze mind you) I was hoping to keep this feature alive by utilizing the aureal drivers. Is Linux and aureal and diamond enemies or something? Took me awhile to find drivers ... and they are reference drivers at that. It would be nice to be able to TRY it at least. Take Care Chris

The complaint seems to be about a busy device, but I don't know what that would be since I definitely don't have sound support. Does anyone know what this would mean? Do I need to recompile the kernal with some different options or something? humm i'll build a kernel rpm with the driver, if it's not so much work to adapt it (and opensource !!). --Chmouel I have a diamond sonic S90... I installed the "vortex1" sound files. I didn't know it was working until I got up from a nyquil nap. I started up GAIM. (AIM clone) and all of a sudden.. Little sounds!

[Cooker] Modem Update
I tried other ways to get my modem to work. Last resort I yanked the modem. I set the jumpers to com 2 irq 3. Which is what winblows was using them at. Fired up linux Started Lothar... BAM! it found it! I am now Sending this email via Linux Mandrake 7.0!! Question: I have people send me Html Based email. In PINE it just shows the source code of the html NOT the cute pictures and buttons and such. Anyway to get pine to show this . I looked in Settings. Doesn't appear to have a setting for html. Take Care Chris
[cooker] No modem
Ok I installed MD 7.0 on my primary machine install was fine... I set up the PPP connection. Alas Lothar doesn't like my modem. NOPE it isn't a winmodem USR Sportster v.90 Anyway around this.. I tried ALL the other com port settings I got everything from modem busy to modem locked any hints? take care chris
Re: [cooker] Re: [Cooker] test
I installed mandrake 7.0 on my machine that has the g400 max on it. it works fine BUT no dual mode. also it seems to not want to allow the high resolutions... if I try anything at 32 bit above 800 x 600 I get a flicker effect on the test screen. I hope I can see double in linux soon. Take Care Chris
[cooker] No Dial up
I did a recommended install of Mandrake 7.0. Still No modem. What is funny.. well Not really funny... During the install it sets up the PPP . I tell it where the modem is . COM 2=ttsy1. I get NO errors during the install. When I started up I go into Root. I try the KPPP dial up. It says the modem is busy. I checked the /dev/modem file... I tried to do an edit ... AHA there is NOTHING there! EMPTY file. I checked Proc/ttsy1... same thing... NOTHING there Checked /dev/ttsy1 NOTHING Be aware I am a rookie to alot of things about Linux. I have always used my Win box as a gateway. This is the box I want to be LINUX. So if I get the modem to dial up and connect then I can work on the IpChain and use LINUX as my gateway box. I would be willing to call a Mandrake support person Long distance so I can get this resolved it is a USR sportster 56k v.90 data/fax/voice modem it is on COM2 I/O is 02f8-02ff Interrupt is 03 This is an internal modem Thanks for any help on the elimination... or at least the reduction of windows in this little wannabe geeks world.

Re: [Cooker] test
if your test was to see if you got duplicate messages.. it worked! I don't like being a whiney butt... but.. getting duplicate messages is almost as annoying as getting messages from people not wanting to receive any messages. I like seeing the problems and solutions. BTW... I found out that the supposed corrupt install was a bug... I couldn't install mandrake 7.0 when I used auto partition option. when I set the partition sizes myself I got a clean install. I personally would like ALL the developers to design a G400 server that will let me utilize the dual monitors! selfish aren't I? take care chris
[Cooker] 2 Cows were in a field
Ok... I have been downloading mandrake 70.iso for 3 days now. I know silly of me to do huh? When I was downloading the Oxygen ISO at 90% the final came out...so I could not resume for some reason.A friend of mine has dsl and so he downloaded it for me and put it on a personal ftp server. I was able to resume and finish. I installed it so I could test it while I confirmed the new ISO was indeed the final version release. This was confirmed. So I started downloading the latest ISO from the 2 cows site. everything was fine .. until.. at 90% the ftp server disconnected and wouldn't let me reconnect. So I keep trying to connect.I finally do reconnect. Low and behold there is a new ISO file in the folder. Mandrake 6.1.1 ISO. before I realized ... since I was getting use to resuming and resuming. I selected the mandrake6.1.1 file. I chose resume ... Well normally if it was the WRONG file I was resuming to it would tell you. well it didn't so for about 30 secs I resumed the 6.1.1 file to the 7.0 file. What I am asking is this. My logic says the download is now corrupted. My stubborness says... finish the download anyway. Is logic correct? Take Care all Chris PS anybody here use the g400 max with Mandrake 7.0?
Re: [Cooker] 2 Cows were in a field
Update.. Download completed... as suspected... CD burn was corrupted due to the slip of the mouse on my part. Well I tried...Glad a friend is sending me a burn in da mail. Thx fer the feedback.. oh... What is an easy programming tool .. that any dufus like me can understand? take Care Chris
[Cooker] Like Plugins for xmms?
ok.. I have a freind who built a visualization plug in for xmms... he is in the voting... the voting ends jan 24th. If ya think he is worthy.. vote for him.. that is all I ask...it is a nice proggy.. one glitch... it installs to the wrong location... 2 files supposed to go to /usr/lib/xmms/visualization... they go to /usr/local/lib/xmms/visualization instead. I put them in both. not a bad first time try. ok... go to... wait.. he says to do this when configuring...When you do the ./configure command, run it like this "./configure --prefix=/usr" Without the qoutes of course. go to.. http://www.xmms.org/plugins http://xmms.org/vote/ http://home1.gte.net/mbardeen/blurscope/ Take care all I know.. I am using a windoze box to do this... hopefully after I finish downloading the final of mandrake 7.0 I will be windoze free It is balanced on whether I can get dual monitor support with my g400 max working. thx for your time agin Christopher
Re: [Cooker] Air 7.0 ISO whats wrong??
I am downloading the mandrake70.iso. it is in the mandrake ISO directory ... NOT the mandrake beta directory. It has the latest date.
