Re: [expert] RPMDrake and remote packages
You could try opening a terminal window, log in as su and open gnorpm (while on the internet) it will update itself to include programs from certain sites as an alternate location for rpms. That is if I read it correctly :) Pretty cool I use gnorpm all the time in KDE this way. Bambi root wrote: I'm having the same problem with both KPackage and RPMDrake.

[expert] 7.1 -- 2-CD download mystery -- How?
Dear friends: Well, as it turns out, there seems to be NO WAY to download the new Mandrake 7.1 by FTP. Since 7.1 is on two CD rather than one CD, there is a pause during the download install that has completely stumped me (and probably others). I selected Custom, Normal for download and all of the categories (except for the extra "Documentation" category) for a total of 2.2 Gig or 764 packages. Each time (once from rpmfind a few days ago and today from metalab.unc.edu), I got precisely the same results: the download pauses on the file "kpppload", with nearly exactly half of the packages still waiting to be downloaded, and suddenly moves on to the next stage of install, namely, "Installing packages," "select your time zone,", "configure your printer," etc. etc. until you get the ironic message : Mandrake 7.1 successfully installed (which it most certainly is NOT, as you find out if you try to use it). Earlier tonight, a kind list member explained this mystery to us: the first CD stops precisely here at "kpppload" and asks you to insert the second CD. Well, that's fine and dandy if you have the CD's (I am still waiting for mine from LinuxLand). But what do you do if you are trying to download and install MDK 7.1 by FTP? I tried to download a minimal version (700 megs). Same problem. I then tried to download an even more minimal version without KDE, hoping to then return and upgrade and install KDE last. Again, same problem. In fact, it refused to let me install at all without installing KDE (where it once again stopped at precisely kpppload). In desperation, I decided to download Mandrake with KDE ONLY (300 Megs) and then build on that. No dice! Once again, with 3:20 to go and many packages left, it once again stopped at kpppload and proceeded to "finish" the rest of the installation process as if nothing had happened! So, how do the rest of you do it? What' the secret formula, folks? Thank you so much. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net

Re: [expert] You guys with the huge swap partitions.
Swap is necessary when you need more memory than physical memory, so if your memory need is below the physical memory, you don't need swap. Windows XX needs swap because their VM system doesn't work well, and memory leaks very quickly. My notebook has 192M RAM but I have to reclaim memory using "WinSystem" now and then, or applications will be blank, slow, or corrupt. Friday, June 09, 2000, 9:44:00 AM, you wrote: J physical RAM that you don't have? This last time I installed, I didn't J give Linux any swap space, and it runs better now than I've ever seen J it. I also run Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 without any virtua J memory, and their performance has had a substantial gain lately. Just a J little advice from experience, and take it with a grain of salt. I J wouldn't drop the swap completely, unless you have 256MB or better. -- lark
