No, no idea, I check code (it could have been created by install automatically to /mnt/cdrom by the media used to install). After that, it could be a mix in /etc/fstab (?) as urpmi use /etc/fstab to reverse mount point found in path so it could be the problem. What have you do to get /mnt/cdrom2 and /mnt/cdrom (if you changed by hand) else it could be a problem in install. François.

We have been used this script also for our MandrakeSecurity product. Bastille is very limited (it doesn't support DMZ and the developpement team is really not an active one) so we have chosen something much more powerful : Shorewall (shorewall.net), which is also a series of shell scripts. In order to have something similar to the previous configurations, we have adpated tinyfirewall and drakgw to Shorewall. This is only the begining ...

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 : KDE menus
try logging into a console and typing "update-menus" without the quotes of course, then restart KDE. I had a similar problem using the new rpmdrake on the first 9.0 beta. I installed some software, and lo and behold, practically my whole kicker menu disappeared! Anyway the command update-menus worked. I'd suggest staying away from menudrake though. I've always had bad luck with it. Todd Vincent Boulet wrote: >Hi, > >A strange thing happen. Many of my icons in the KDE >menu has simply disapear ! If I go in menudrake, no >one is missing.

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 install: dm
Is OK that it starts early - is the killing of X later that is the problem. Most of the tasks that start after dm are not related to things that most users are going to use in the first minute or so the computer is up, and dm lets the user get to a desktop a lot quicker. V.

If you log in to the command line, you'll see the same behavior. If you unset the LC_* and LANG variables, then the sorting will be the "traditional" way. My guess is that it is done this way to be nicer to people moving from Windows, where W and w are considered equivalent. Initially (in the cooker time-frame before 8.0), I just zeroed out the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file. However, I seem to remember that messed with my font sizes in Gnome apps I ran. So, I made changes to /etc/profile to not run /etc/profile.d/*lang.sh, and then went into /etc/X11 and commented out lines in Xsession and prefdm that sourced in the /etc/profile.d/*lang.sh file. Logged in again, and all was well. It's been a while so I may not remember everything I did, but now my sorting is "traditional". Of course, this is English specific. TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger

As well, I am having problems with this. With the old tinyfirewall (<=8.2), I was able to accept all the default refusals to provide access and the Probe My Ports test at Steve Gibson's site* would report all 'Stealth' (no evidence of a computer). Now, the default (post-install) is 'no firewall' and the probe reports only 'Closed'. If I deselect 'no firewall' and select all the other services (which seems to parallel the provision in old tinyfirewall to allow my box to act as various types of server, which I don't want), I get 'connection refused' when trying to surf. During install-time configuration, I believe CUPS and mail server were preselected, which implied provision of servers that I don't have, which I deselected, which led to my reported issue with surf stoppage @ name resolution failure. Seems to me the old behavior filled a niche for many like myself, who, while not necessarily adverse to learning new skills, do not presently feel a need to have more added to the need_to_do list ;) * https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 Rolf

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 install: unfortunate consequences of vfat /dev/sda1 connected
What i think should happen is 1 only the first vfat fixed disk should be setup as "Windows" 2 in the "expert" options you should have a set of buttons to remove Removeable/UnSafe/Previos entries to get rid of floppy (why wouldn't the floppy have booted past this menu??) other removeable (same reason and its safer) and entries from the old menu (also may be invalid) and it would be nice if there was a %installed language% list of what drives were recognized and where they got mounted (if they did)

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 observation - auto-install replay failure
To be honest, I don't recallit wasn't visually obvious at the diskdrak screen, nor do I recall any verbiage displayed when making the auto-install floppy to indicate that such action would be required. It seems that the folks most likely to use auto-install would be the typical gotta-be-in-fifty-places-at-once sysadmins; new initiates to Mandrake's auto-install system might well come away with a less-than-uplifting OOB experience. As somebody earlier on the list noted, we aren't competing against sal-si-puedes Windows 95 anymore; we need to assume that the person doing this install may be reasonably intelligent/experienced with PCs in general but is not a member of any particular priesthood, and s/he may well be sceptical-to-hostile towards the whole idea anyway.

Re: [Cooker] Beta-4 observations.
This is getting a bit better than the Dark Side 8.0 days, BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure that everything that's visible in the list-view package selection screen is available in the tree view...even if you have to add another 'Other' or 'Uncommon'subtree of some sort. I was amazed at how many tools, utilities, games, and so on are in the list view but not the tree - where it's much easier to select and unselect categories quickly. This should be a basic check that QA does for *every* shipped beta-or-better build.

Some minor points about Beta-4...There's no easy way to install everything. Going downthe list of package groupings to install I find when adding some, other packages get removed from the selection. I have to go back and re-select them, thenit works. In particular 'console' causes a number ofother options to become de-selected. 2.6 GB or soreally isn't that much space space these days. Thereshould be an 'install everything' option.At the license agreement, hitting rebootsthe machine, which is a little annoying. Presumablythe default key rejects the agreement but this is not obvious because you can't see which of the buttons isthe default. it would be nice for first-time usersif the dlg just stayed there until the user either hit the 'OK' button or the reset switch, or clicked on the 'no' button.On network configuration, after auto-detection youare told which card has been detected and asked if youhave 'another one'. Unfortunately this is ambiguous because you could mean"Do you have a different one"-or-"Do you have an additional (or 2nd) one".It's only clear which of these you mean in thefollowingdialog. I would suggest changing the text to "Do you have a different one?". (ahh the joys of the Englishlanguage :-)).The boot-up sequence indicates that swap is being 'started', but I don't have any swap! Perhaps the message should change if there's been no swap partition created.In the lilo installation options there is an editbox that allows you to enter the (real) amount of RAM on your system. I was fearful of using thisfacility because I had no idea what the units were.Perhaps this could be made clear in the dialog text.The wrong order of magnitude -either way- wouldhave pretty dire consequences on the next reboot.thanks for listening-S.__Do You Yahoo!?Everything you'll ever need on one web pagefrom News and Sport to Email and Music Chartshttp://uk.my.yahoo.com.

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 Install Fails during Package Install
The 2.4.18 kernel was the one that was extremely unstable. I can try downgrading to an earlier mdk kernel if you think that might help. I've reverted to 8.1 for the time being.

To answer your questions: 1. No, it seems to fail on a random package. 2. No, my system is not overclocked. 3. Yes, the install works flawlessly with a 2.2 kernel. However, when I boot into 8.2, it is extremely crash prone. It can't seem to stay running for more than a few minutes under X. This is my third attempt at getting this e-mail out.

Re: [Cooker] Beta 4 - Xfree 4.2.0 - Trident CYBER9397
Hi, this is a known bug. I have the same problem on a Gateway Solo 9100 with the same chip. Is being worked on by the XFree folks. There is a workaround.. the driver from XFree 4.1.0 for trident (trident_drv.o) works pretty well, and is stable, with XFree 4.2.0 (been using it for weeks) There are a few minor problems,Xv WILL lock up the machine with this driver, but other than that, works great. Would be nice if this driver were available in the CD's (maybe as trident_410.o ?) to install in these situations.
