All I was saying is netatalk is included. I really don't have the time to create additional documentation, that should be what the netatalk authors do. It's not installed by default, we don't install any servers by default afaik. I built the package and tested it here, /etc/atalk/atalkd.conf is the default, with no interface defined, and it doesn't segfault when run. It accepts guest logins and password logins. I did not get a chance to test printing.

Re: netatalk
Is there some source of mandrake documentation that we have all missed? What page of the documentation is this command given? I guess we have all been out of contact with that page. Thanks for opening our eyes? Is there anything else about implementing netatalk, are is this everything? I have searched the Mandrake site for this kind of information on netatalk and I guess I just wasn't smart enough to find it. Most netatalk info (on the net in general) is dated and difficult to understand for most of us.

RE: netatalk
Sorry, actually what I meant was that it be part of the standard auto install distribution for newbies.

RE: netatalk
Sorry, what I meant was that it would be available with the distribution so a newbie could have it working out of the box, and while I am at it, maybe we could fix the setup file (not near my machine now but I think it was a atalk file) so that it defaulted to ethernet 1, rather than segment faulting. > -Original Message- > From: Stew Benedict <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>@SUN > Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 02:30 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Re: netatalk > > > > Where you been man? ;^) > > [stew@powerbook-cooker stew]$ rpm -qip /RPMS/netatalk-1.5.1.1-1mdk.ppc.rpm > Name: netatalk Relocations: /usr > Version : 1.5.1.1 Vendor: MandrakeSoft > Release : 1mdk Build Date: Sun 20 Jan 2002 > 10:44:05 AM EST > > > > Stew Benedict > > -- > MandrakeSoft OH/TN, USA http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/ > PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/FAQ/ > > <>

Typically DOS formatted Zips are on sda4, MacOS, I don't know, but the 1st partiton is usually the map, with a few more for drivers.

Re: Netatalk, zips and oterh stuff
> then I made a directory /mnt/zip and made a link from /dev/sda to /dev/zip Zip disks tend to be partitioned by default. I'm speaking from a VFAT and IDE background here, but try mounting /dev/sda4 instead and see if it works. Disk partition #4 is where Iomega puts the VFAT file system by default on VFAT-formatted discs...try other numbers if that doesn't work. If it's an empty disc, you can always reformat it to your liking. I tend to keep ext2 filesystems on mine. --ryan.
