Re: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0
I know where they are, and I installed it in a second moment... Maybe for any unknown reason I deleted bind-utils during package selection?! I don't think so. As far as I remember my last installation of a 8.0, a lot of usefull packages were not selected by clicking on all the big icons for installation, and there was no all packages option. Selecting all the big icons endend with installing something like 70% of the packages (I guess), and traceroute and nc were missing (I didn't try ping or nslookup). Currently, all my boxes that could go to 8.0 are back to 7.2 as there is no libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 in 8.0 (there is a symlink in egcs-c++ package but it points to nothing). As usual, never install .0 distribs, wait for a while...

Re: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0
I'm a huge mandrake proponent, love it, and although all my hardware seems to work fine a lot of my config files are hand configed. so pretty much any kernel with the right options would work for me. What I noticed that put me off was when I installed a system yesterday and got a few packages that couldn't be installed from CD so I had to skip them. kde-pim was one, can't remember the other 2.

RE: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0
Has anybody figured out what code disabled the PS/2 mice on Thinkpads in 8.0? I can report that the kernel as shipped with 8.0 doesn't detect the PS/2 mouse on Thinkpads and that a kernel compiled from the source rpm's that shipped with Mandrake won't either but that if you grab the latest 2.4.3 sources and compiled from there you'll get a mouse detected no problem. ... Folks have been reporting that RC1 worked with Thinkpads so some patches occured b/w RC1 and 8 that caused the PS/2 mice no longer to be supported by the kernel. I noticed there was some disabled PS/2 keyboard code in a recent April 16 commit notice. But otherwise I haven't investigated it any further. Does anybody have the autoconf.h that it used to configure the kernel that's shipped with Mandrake? I'd like to try it with the 2.4.3 source because I've got a couple of Failed's at bootup even though I have a working mouse and I'd like to see the Alsa stuff and how that was setup too. Cheers.

Claudio, I don't use RedHat, but now I have MDK 8 installed in both, my big box linux and my Toshiba laptop; I don't have SCSI neither NVdia (I think the commercial distribution includes the NVdia drivers, but if not, it is easy to download them from Time page); on the other hand: Scanner: detected but not working, just create in my case mknod usbscanner0 and works fine (Epson 1200 Perfection USB) Network: cable modem installed fine. Network: ip mask well done, my laptop is conected to the big box (Pentium III) and I have both computers using the cable mdem and the internet conexion great! and easy. DVD: working well; just there seems kernel 2.4.3. has a problem to xv, but I can watch dvd movies, using it as cdrom and so on. You could try with a xine rpm, the problems to compile could be because you need some libs or compiler packages. The Mandrake control center and rpm manager working great, I was afraid because in the betas they didn't :-) Perhaps you need some help to install some of your hardware, I am sure the mandrake team will be very glad to help you and improve with this experience the distribution.

Re: [Cooker] Redhat-7.1 vs Mandrake 8.0
I too have been having problems with the new Mandrake. When I do a clean install it hangs during boot at finding module dependencies, once I do a ctrl+c it resumes boot, once booted I look in the /boot directory only to find nothing, absolutely nothing. Something is not right. Red Hat 7.1 works fine though, imagine that? I am not even runnning any funky hardware except a USB print and scanner. --- Claudio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I'm testing Rh-7.1 for some problems I'm having at home with Mdk and my PC.

Well, I got a scsi scanner. It is detected by sane, when I try scanning any images, application (sane/xsane) crashes reporting "Device is busy" just after few second. I worked perfectly with mdk-7.2, and I read of someone who had the same problem and solved it downloading latest CVS sane tree. It was reported almost twice before 8.0... OK, I can install sane from 7.2, but it's taedious. I will do that, since I prefer use rpm rather than cvs!

It seems the SANE mustek backend has some serious problems with the 2.4 kernels. The SANE package in cooker/8.0 is working fine with the 2.2 kernel. I managed to get my scanner working with kernel 2.4 for a while by using the latest CVS version of the sane backend, unfortunately it doesn't work anymore (probably because I have upgraded the kernel since that). Hopefully the next release of SANE will solve those problems, meanwhile try using the 2.2 kernel. -- Marc Schefer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How can it be done during installation? There will be some update. 3. If someone is so patient to wait these 4 days, have to manually change /etc/modules.conf, rebuild initrd-img and modify lilo... Beginner users can do that? no, we will do an update.. Then I will wait for the update ;-) I tried installing staroffice 5.2 using my scsi drive lastnight, it was HORRIBLE..!!!
