Nope. Not with this setting. I found out why. As the bootable cd is one which is bootable because of a floppy emulation on it I have to choose "A" in my BIOS setup. Therefore the line "SCSI, C,A" will never work. It doesn't find a bootable SCSI device and moves on to the hd. Now, if I choose "SCSI,A,C" or simply "A,C" it boots up because the floppy emulation gets recognized as boot device "A". I should have read the host adapter's manual first. wobo -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request --- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html

Re: [expert] Blocking Banner ads
Assuming this is on topic since squid is shipped with mandrake :) How about blocking most banner ads from most web sites. Here is how to do it. setup squid with the access controls that you are comfortable with. Then look on freshmeat for squidredirect it is a simple little script. download it and make it the same user and group as squid - in mandrake that is user and group squid. then look thru squid.conf for the commented out line about redirector helper files and modify it to run this redirector. There are 2 line one is which script to run and the next is how many to run at once. I set mine with 4 with 1 or 2 I had to hit stop and then reload on my browser at times. then in your web browser find the proxy setting and put in you squid machines domain name or ip address and the port number 3128 - unless you changed it from default. -- enjoy -- I have mine running on a machine at work - connected via cat5 to the same T1 that my ISP has all the local modems connected to. Then I have my browser at home filter everything thru it. It sure makes my 33.6 connection seem better when browsing.

Re: [expert] Need help fixing my cdrom access, after upgrade to Mandrake 7.0
[As I recently wrote on the "newbie" and "cooker" lists . . .] Yes, the CD-RW issue is quickly becoming a FAQ on the expert list (thanks for at least picking the other two lists instead!) Mankrake 7.0 has a bug (evidently not fixed in in 7.0v2) whereby for a CD-RW it correctly sets up the LILO parameters to tell it to use ide-scsi emulation (necessary for CD-RWs under Linux) but fails to make the corresponding change to the /dev/cdrom links.

Re: [expert] Need help fixing my cdrom access, after upgrade to Mandrake 7.0

[expert] Question concerning a PC-Card Modem/Ethernet Card
I'm needing some help with a problem I am having right now. I was running Helios and decided to install over the top of it Air. Now I am not able to use my modem. I am using a Compaq Presiaro 1672 Laptop (350 AMD K6-2, 64 MB, ATI Rage LT Pro 8 MB, 4.3 GB HD w/ 1.5 GB for Linux) and to connect to the Internet I am using a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 + 56K Modem Combo Card. I will dial into my ISP and it will connect and then nothing. I was curious and went to my friend's apartment on the campus of Kansas State University and tried out the Ethernet side and it connected beautifully, God I want a T-3 line like he has. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix my problem. The card works great on Windows, that is what I am using to send this message. Thanks for your help.

If you don't have a green one, you may need a different driver or a new card or to reseat the card in the computer or a NEW or reinserted cable. If you have a green light at the card but not at the nearest hub Errr well could you be plugged into the uplink? Could your hub have a special last two slots one for uplink and one that can be seen only by uplink? And if so are you plugged into one of them? And of course you might have been given a crossover cable when you need a straight through. If you have link lights everywhere, then it is likely that a reconfiguration or a new NIC will help.

[expert] keyboard mapping and login problems.
I installed LM 7.02 with the highest security in my Dell Latitude laptop. Now I have two problems: 1. When run at leve 5, only the root account can login even though I can su to other regular users after I login as root. 2. When run at level 3, some keys in the right half of my keybord are messed up, for example, when you press 'i', you will see '4' or something like that. So I cannot do anything with the login prompt. Has someone met some problems of this kind? What are the possible reasons? Thanks, Chunnuan
Re: [expert] LM 7.0 SCSI Install
BTW, for anyone needing an updated SCSI card, www.compgeeks.com has Adaptec Model AHA-3944UWD/AHA-3944AUWD on sale for $99.00 (US). The current web address for this item is http://www.compgeeks.com/cgi-bin/details.asp?cat=&sku=205-7394. I have bought merchandise from them in the past (just got a 5-disc external SCSI CD jukebox for under $50 ) Anyway, just thought I'd pass it along.

Re: [expert] install freeze problem
Just a thought...you could try the following procedure that I used for my Promise Ultra66 card. The following procedure may allow MDK to see your PCI fasttrak device and allow the installatiion to proceed. I can't make any guarantees. I'm using MDK 7.0-2 and a Promise Ultra66 IDE controller card. If you want to do a fresh install of Linux onto a drive that's connected to a Promise Ultra66 IDE controller card, follow these steps: 1) Use a Linux boot disk to boot your system (if you don't have one yet, you can get one from http://www.toms.net/rb/) 2) At the Linux console prompt, type "cat /proc/pci" without the quotes. 3) This will spit out five I/O numbers for you (the ones that are not in brackets) 4) Label those I/O numbers a, b, c, d, e (the first is "a"; the second is "b"; etc.) 5) Now, restart your system and boot from the Linux installation CD 6) At the boot prompt, type "linux ide2=a,b+2 ide3=c,d+2" without the quotes. Be sure to substitute the actual I/O numbers for the "letters" shown above. The above worked for Linux Mandrake 7.0-2 (and 6.1). >From: "Scott Bessler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [expert] install freeze problem >Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2000 21:54:15 -0600 > >ok i have a problem, i have the following hd's and controllers >a promise fasttrak66 w/ 2 seagate barracuda ata66 drives on it.

[expert] Changing case or extensions
I used to know how to do this, but now my brain is full. How can I change the case, or extension of a lot of files at once. For example, I have a directory of BMPs that a friend sent from his digital camera (yeah, I know, bad format, but it's not me). I want to make them all bmp instead of BMP extensions. I can't remember how, although I recall it was something simple. Thanks -- --- Nil Carborundum Illegitimi http://andysocial.com

[expert] SCSI-Boot fom CD = no
Hi, My system: EIDE: hd on IDE 0: IBM hd with lilo in mbr and root partition on /hda2 SCSI: Dawicontrol host Plextor SCSI cdrom Plextor SCSI cd-writer The host is recognized at bootup. It has a BIOS. I can get into setup with DEL and there I activated: Bootable, Boot-Device has SCSI ID 3 (which is the cdrom) My Award BIOS allows booting from SCSI, so I set the boot line to "SCSI,C,A" To my knowledge everything is done so far. At bootup the SCSI lines tell me that there is a bootable cd in Device 3. Despite all that it doesn't boot from cd but goes on to lilo on /dev/hda. Before I bought the SCSI cdrom I had an atapi cdrom. I could boot from this atapi *and* when switching in BIOS to "SCSI" as bootdevice it booted from the SCSI cd-writer. Now I thought with setting the bootdevice in the SCSI-setup it should be ok, but it is not. BTW I'm using an original Mandrake Air installation CD which *is* bootable and has proved to be before. wobo -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request --- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html
