it's quite bad :(
Pablo!! you screw it up :ppp

XF86Setup hates it. imwheel makes it work someplaces and stop other places It works good to reduce wrist motion if you get sore wrists. A smart entrepreneur should come up with a real good mouse with "Linux" and a picture of Tux on it ;-) > > I noticed there are two kernels installed.

They work fine in Windows. This started about a week ago. I have 105 standard US keyboard. I use Windows keys to open menu or toggle/change virtual terminals. Another idea! Need Linux keyboard!! ;-)

Are you sure it's not in compss??? sure, i've just verified. i've found where the problem comes from, dependencies: hackkernel and kernel both provide kernel which is needed by kernelcfg. Alas this bloody dependency code just takes the first package available, aka hackkernel :( i'm gonna do something better here! thanks, cu Pixel.

Re: [Cooker] xdrake install
ok, remirrored it Fri. to take home this weekend. got thru the install proccess just fine. on reboot got lots of scrolling interspersed with numbers and x did not start so I went to alt-f2 had same screen full of garbage but when I hit enter it went away and let me log in. I ran setup and redid my X setup. and changes run level to 3. on reboot alt-f1 stiil is full of garbage and won't clear, alt-f2 is full of garbage but clears with enterkey, I log in and startx works fine taking me to KDE. I haven't had time to check out all the usual program yet. Maybe later this afternoon.

Re: [Cooker] xdrake install
hmm. no its not there and not on my mirror either. in the mirror it should be in for example ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_VGA16 ? cause if I look at several mirrors they don't have this structure in them either if this is not where it is located ... then where? under Mandrake on the cd-rom I just have Base, Instimage, and Rpms. ps. I am looking at it in windows so may have lost case, but I wrote in on another mandrake box with the directions on the cooker page on the web site.

Re: [Cooker] xdrake install
no it wasn't doing that, I added another dimm. it only had 16 meg ram
now has 48.
so now it get a little furthur.
of alt-f1 I get
in second stage install
Use of an unitialed value at /usr/bin/perl-install/modules.pm line 173
(#1)
then an explanation of the error
on alt-f2 screen
starting a ways down
called mount (/tmp/ram3 .
removing device file /tmp/ram3
method selection completed
state saved to /tmp
symlink /tmp/stage2 failed
second stage install running
extra log messages are enabled
running insmod serial
running insmod_ /lib/modules/serial.o
Error: Died ar /usr/bin/perl-install/install_steps_graphical.pm line 206
it is setting at this point now, if you want me to tell you something
else.
