Do you think you could make a little effort to force it to flash at 100% for each package, when it completes, even if it has to jump from 70% to 100%? That way it gives the appearance that the packages really ARE being installed 100% of the way... ok, i'm going to change this a little bit

I have a fairly recent mobo and a VERY new HDD (2 months old at most) -- do you think it would be safe to use those optimizations? And if so, how can I turn them on after installation of the system? I currently use "hdparm -q -c1 -d1 -m16 -u1 /dev/hda" for a hard disk and "hdparm -q -c1 -d1 -u1 /dev/hdc" for my IDE CDROM. "hdparm -i /dev/hda" will tell you how high you can go with the "-m" command. My hard drives are recent models from Quantum. These flags work fine for me, although my system is not under a heavy load - to be able to stress test. Actually I should say that I have turned off "-u1" for now. It *might* be causing me a problem. Then again, I am using a self compiled hackkernel... -- - Antony Suter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "Examiner" openpgp:71ADFC87 - "And how do you store the nuclear equivalent of the universal solvent?"

Re: [Cooker] Experiences with Beta3 on my machine
Just so you know I just downloaded version .85 from the licq site and it does the same thing on Mandrakre7.1. I tried the 7.2 beta and had this problem so I thought it was a problem with Mandrake but appears to be licq problem On Mon, 02 Oct 2000, you wrote: On Sun, Oct 01, 2000 at 09:47:39PM -0400, Steven Hatfield wrote: LICQ didn't work properly -- I turned the dock icon on, and clicked "apply" Same thing here, I already reported that bug.

RE: [Cooker] Experiences with Beta3 on my machine
It is definitely NOT an LICQ problem. I removed the Mandrake licq RPMs, downloaded the 85.1 tarball and compiled/ran it without any errors -- turned on the dock applet and it's working fine now. The only "non-stock" configure option I used with LICQ was with the qt-gui plugin, and I just added "--with-kde" to enable KDE2.0 support. This may be the missing link?
