RE: [Cooker] RPM(S) worst enemy but Mandrake's best friend...
|Ahh! That's the point! |You say: deb is easy to use (or easy to manage). |Jose says: rpm is easy because it protects user from doing wrong. |I say: Now we should define "easy"... :-) | Heh, good point... From my point of view, I WANT a package manager that forces the user to go out of their way when they attempt something potentially harmful to the system. Or at the very least do exactly what RPM does, list what is about to be affected. Whereas he looks at this as a disadvantage, I perceive it as a distinct advantage If anything the novice needs to be made even more aware of the repercussions of the usage of --force or --nodeps... -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [Cooker] Does anyone *READ* postings on this list?
Not to sound flippant... but maybe no one is answering because the question is not "interesting" or makes sense... Since this is a primarily a volunteer list, you should assume that there is a reason you are not getting answered... which may include (not that this pertains to you specifically). a) You should do a bit more homework yourself b) You should reword your question c) You should reword your requests and drop any "attitude", people here don't have to help you. d) You should read the manual and post a specific question to a problem e) You should not post general questions like "how do I set up my server". This type of question indicates that you have not RTFM. Etc. Recently someone posted a "posting" guideline for newbies. I wish I had saved a copy since it succinctly addressed why people were not getting responses. Re: Netatalk.

RE: [Cooker] Jet Direct Remote Printer
It's probably a security problem... Check /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny /etc/hosts.lpd Also check permissions on the spool directories. You should really add the "name" of the printer into /etc/hosts (with the IP of course) and use the printname when setting up the printer via Drakeconfig... Also, the queue normally DOES need to be filled in. This is dependant upon your interface or machine... I.E. the HP Jetdirects use RAW and TEXT as their queue names, the former being preferable... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Danny W. Burdick Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2000 12:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] Jet Direct Remote Printer Today at work we configured a remote printer running on our intranet within Mandrake 7.0 (Air) All we did was 1. Run Drakeconfig 2. Create a remote printer 3. Accepted all default values 4. For hostname gave it an ip addr 192.168.1.8 5. Left Queue entry blank The printer immediately started working fine! When I got home I have the exact same setup and IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Only difference is the remote printer at home is 192.168.1.150 and I am running Mandrake 7.1 b3 (Hydrogen3) Any takers..? Danny
RE: [Cooker] More default configs
I second this! -JMS -Original Message- From: Hoyt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 29, 2000 1:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Cooker] More default configs How about disabling the core dump process by default? Those who understand and need such information can always enable it on their machines. For the new, less-aware user, all those core dumps can eat up a lot of disk space. Hoyt
