Is it a mount bug? Supermount? (I don't think so, since I un-supermounted the cd drive and still had the same issue). Does it have any relation to it being a SCSI drive, or is that not the issue? Eaon Replying to my own message, it seems I was wrong, it is supermount. Found this thread http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=1065lang=en on mandrakeforum which suggests supermount -i disable. Seems to work for me in a quick informal test with the inst and ext cds that were giving me trouble. So, goodbye, then, supermount. It was nice knowing you. Eaon OK thanks--missed that one. Supermount has been pretty reliable up to kernel 2.4, but all things have to adapt to new conditions. Newbies are the most affected, of course. Civileme Would this supermount problem also affect IDE Zip drives? Since L-M 8.0 my ip drive has been acting up. I have lockups and the error messages that the interupt has been lost. -- David Boles [EMAIL PROTECTED] My GnuPG Key ID: 78A3ADB0

Dual-P3 800, it's all perfect, even because I could compile 2.4.0-5mdk, gcc-2.96-0.33mdk, glibc-2.2.1 and gimp-1.2 for the first time without having problems. Now, the only mistake (?) is that when I try to login as root from init 5 (I have kde-2.1pre installed, the 2.1-0.20010118.1mdk series) I'm promped that "Root login are not allowed" It's all OK it I login as root from init 3 and then I write startx. All other users may login from init 5... Anyone as this kind of problems?! Many thanks, Claudio -- David Boles [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] KDE
I hope that this is NOT to off topic. I am NOT a programmer so I don't really belong here. I have gotten no replies from the KDE-Users list so I am looking for some information. I ask here because it appeared that you had a hand in the KDE 2.0 Question: Why is KDE 2.0 so slow? Do I need to set something so that IT loads faster and that applications load faster? Question: I can see a great difference so I can understand that KDE 1.1.2 apps don't/won't work with KDE 2.0. I have heard that there is a fix(?) or a patch(?) or something that fixes this problem? Question: Some apps, IE: PAN, that comes with L-M 7. take forever to load. But actually usually NEVER load. Or KPM and TOP say that they are loaded but they never 'display'(?). Why? This is a major problem, for me at least. Linux-Mandrake 7.2 with KDE 2.0 is much, much slower to respond.
