RE: [expert] CD burning under Mandrake 7.2 rc 1
Any other possibilities? I am going to read the man and info pages on mkisofs, but I think I need to know how it works within the program itself since I'm not calling it from the command line; does that make sense? Try and create the image manually with mkisofs and experiment with the command line options. AFAIK, the gui programs are only frontends to mkisofs and sometimes don't make use of all the options. Using the example on the cooker page is a good place to start. I routinely add -J for Windows compatability. Hoyt Thank you! I'm on it!

I found the link very useful when using the NVidia drivers for my geforce2: http://games.luv.asn.au/lsd/nvidia-mini-howto.html It's written for debian, but works for mandrake if you keep in mind that debian uses different directories for their libraries.

Re: [expert] Off to camp once again.
Routed uses only the RIP (or RIP2) protocol to make routing decisions, whereas gated can use a variety of routing protocols. I admin firewall gateways for an ISP, and the only real reason I use gated is to speak OSPF to our exterior routers that won't speak RIP. Personally, if you don't need anything for routing but RIP, I'd investigate routed first-- it looks much easier to configure. Now if you don't need anything but static routes, then kill 'em both and write a rc script to set routes for you. Routing protocols are designed to dynamically change routes. If you only have one route coming into your box, then you don't have (or need programs for) dynamic routing. M. Eric Mings wrote: Thanks much for the replies. Very informative and helpful.

Is postfix not necessary if your are going to be getting your security checks mailed to you ?

Kill ypbind: unless for some reason this machine is a NIS client, this is not needed and a HUGE security hole. if the box IS an NIS client AND you are coloing this box, god bless and pass the ammunition. Kill portmap: unless this is an NFS server, this is another gaping hole. I personally would not colo an NFS server, way to much unsecurable traffic floating on the Internet. Kill netfs and nfslock. again, this box should not be MOUNTING partitions across the Internet on a coloed box. This is for SMB Netware and NFS mounts, NOT recommended by me. kill pcmica: this isn't a laptop, no need for it gated or routed, pick one or the other. They serve the same purpose and WILL interfere with each other. kill named, postfix, httpd, proftpd and mysql unless you have a reason for running them (ie running (in order) a DNS server, a mail server, web server, ftp server or database server or backend) kill lpd, it is HIGHLY unlikely you are going to be using a coloed box as a printserver for any reason. And I can't imagine they are going to provide access to or space for a line printer for you to dump your logs to. Kill amd, unless you need to automount local partitions on the fly there is no need for this that I can think of on a server. Webmin runs its own http daemon. If you are using this to configure and control the box remotely, make sure you have the proper ipchains rules to shutdown access to unauthorized people for this service. Otherwise, shut it off. Xfs can be removed if you are not planning on running any remote X services from the box, and can be manually started and stopped should someone log in on the console and want to start X. Or upgrade to XFree86 4.0.1 that doesn't rely on Xfs. KILL LINUXCONF! I can think of absolutely no reason why on a coloed server box you would daemonize linuxconf. Actually, I see little reason to daemonize it at all. Once you remove all the unecessary services (ie Linuxconf, ftp, telnet, whatever) make sure you go through the inetd.conf file and comment out/remove all the lines relevant to those services.

RE: [expert] Is kde2 only for mkd 7.2?
I do agree there. I installed Helix-Gnome with no probs. I actually went to bed and in the morning, there it was with all the latest greatest of whatever it needed to make it happen. If KDE had an updater they would have a very nice package. I do however like Evolution for Gnome, as I have to use Outlook at the base here, it comes closest to it, and real conveinent.

[expert] IBM Thinkpad A20m and M7.1 questions
Hi, I just got a brand new Thinkpad A20m and I'm trying to configure it as best as possible. I've got most things working but here are a few things I'm having problems with: - Network card: I read a few dsites that say that the internal netcard is supposed to be a eepro100. When I try to modprobe that module, I get /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.15-4mdk/net/eepro100.o: insmod eepro100 failed so it doesn't look like this is what I have. Anyone have an idea what netcard is in the motherboard? Has anyone had success in using the builtin card? For the time being I can get by with the PCMCIA card but I will eventually have to ditch it. - Has anyone managed to make the internal modem work? It's a winmodem. I trid to use the lucent module but when I dial and it tries to connect, I get a kernel panic. The message I saw when the panic occured what that the init process wasw killed. I tried the ltmodem program found at http://www.ltmodems.org but it says it doesn't recognise the device. It's trying to find a ISA device but it's a PCI device. This is what I get as a message. I'll also try the ltmodem list: ltmodem version 0.9.9 No ISAPNP support; Lucent ISA PnP modem can't be found. 00:03.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics: Unknown device 0449 (rev 01) Mars chipset detected.

Rom checksum is Returning zero, checksum failed? 0. ERROR: Unknown chipset/version.# fail - I managed to make the audio subsytem work by using the ALSA drivers. Unfortunately, if I suspend the system, when I restart it the whole audio subsytem is gone. The modules are still loaded but I can't get any sound to work. Any one know how to fix this problem? - Another problem with the audio stuffis that sometimes when I boot, the driver for the sound card tries to get loaded and it hangs the system. I have to turn it off and try again and that usually fixes it. I'm not sure if the problem happens only when I warm reboot the system or if it also happens on a cold reboot. Anyone else see this? - Speaking of suspending the system: how do you do that? If I try to use the keyboard, I get this error: Oct 15 13:11:54 lduperva kernel: keyboard: unknown scancode e0 63 Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva last message repeated 29 times Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: vortex_suspend(eth0) Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: cs: cb_disable(bus 5) Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: cs: received extra suspend event Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva last message repeated 18 times Oct 15 13:11:55 lduperva kernel: apm: an event queue overflowed Oct 15 13:11:56 lduperva kernel: keyboard: unknown scancode e0 63 I get similar event queue overflowed errors when I close the cover.

If you want drivers loaded at boot time (note: this only works from certain version of initscripts, but as you say you have rc1...), just add them one per line in /etc/modules, and in the right order, first agpgart and then NVdriver. If you also want some driver to load wirth some options, add them in /etc/modules.conf as: options NVdriver agp_try_unsupported=1 If you dont want to load all the drivers at boot time, you can have you kernel to auto-load them when you access the device for the first time. It is done based in major-minor numbers of the devices, so as "when anything tries to access device with major number XX (which I know is a scsi card) load this module: x".

Re: [expert] Errors compiling via-rhine driver
I have the same card, and never had to download any drivers. The source is already in the kernel source tree, so you can just configure a kernel with the via-rhine drivers, and build it. If you don't feel like building a kernel, mandrake's stock bootkernels come with the module as well; just load the via-rhine module with modprobe. If it doesn't give you any problems, set it up with netconf, under "Adaptor 1" (or 2, 3 or 4, if it isn't the first NIC in your box). Just choose "eth0" (or 1, 2, ...) as Net Device, and "via-rhine" as Kernel Module. This should do the trick. Good luck.

If you want drivers loaded at boot time (note: this only works from certain version of initscripts, but as you say you have rc1...), just add them one per line in /etc/modules, and in the right order, first agpgart and then NVdriver. If you also want some driver to load wirth some options, add them in /etc/modules.conf as: options NVdriver agp_try_unsupported=1 If you dont want to load all the drivers at boot time, you can have you kernel to auto-load them when you access the device for the first time. It is done based in major-minor numbers of the devices, so as "when anything tries to access device with major number XX (which I know is a scsi card) load this module: x". For the nVidia drivers, that "magic numbber" is 195. So add in your /etc/modules.conf a line such as: alias char-major-195 NVdriver Hope this helps you...

Re: [expert] Sprint Broadband internet
First off check to see if it uses a static IP or DHCP. If it uses a static IP then you probably don't have to do anything more than setting up your ethernet card with the proper masks and such. If it uses DHCP you might need to use an assigned hostname to make it work. Try asking on your local linux group if they have a mailing list. Often somebody locally has already tried it. :) *^*^*^* Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you. -- Albert Einstein On Tue, 17 Oct 2000, Sridhar Govindarajulu wrote: Hi, I am trying to install Sprint Broadband internet access.

Re: [expert] Sprint Broadband internet
Assuming you have no other ethernet cards installed in your computer, and the (cable modem?) (DSL thingy?) (Satellite dish?) connects to your network card, try the following: dhcpcd eth0 That runs "DHCP Client Daemon" and tells it to try connecting to a DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol; what many ISPs use to assign semi-random, arbitrary IPs to arbitrary computers) through the 0th (1st) ethernet card. If you have other ethernet cards, pass the one connected to SprintHighSpeedSomething to dhcpcd; e.g., "dhcpcd eth1". This will work if (and only if) your ISP uses DHCP to set up its hosts. The basic question to find this out is, Did the Sprint people want to install any Windows software? If they did install some, then it might be PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol (what most phone-line ISPs use) over Ethernet). Anyway, try DHCP. It might work, and if not, no harm done.

[expert] Help Wanted!: building a Internet-Box
Hi!, my exact purpose is to use a computer to access internet in a public place. As you can imagine, security problems arise when planning to do something like this, beside I'm a Linux fanatic I MUST use Linux for this. This is what I already have and where I need some explanations. I'm planning to use WindowMaker, since this is the window enviroment where I can customize more things, so I already have a very limited system where you can only run Netscape or any other navigator. The only problem I've found is that if you use right button on the window title you can edit the window's properties, and that also happend on the dock aplication. Is it posible to ignore right button? I'm planning to use Galeon as Navigator, but I'm still testing, nothing have arise yet. Next thing, I'd like that on Linux boot, a X console appears with a 'default' user logged in, better that any kind of login nor password. I'd try to disable Ctrl+Alt keys and let then be used only when configuring the box. Some clue? I know something is possible since Mandrake instalation makes something similar, but of course, I won't like to boot on single user mode, since the 'default user' would have root privileges and that's not a good idea in a public place. I know i'm just on my firt steps with this 'project' but I'd like to beat those people who defend a Micro$oft solution for this idea. Thanks in advance.

[expert] SMC Ethernet Adapter-USB-Not really a linux question but...
This is not really a linux question, but... I have a linux box, a bsd box and a win box(both 98 and Win2k)...for the winbox I have a SMC USB Ethernet adapter. I've been messing with my LAN for about 8 hours now and am positive that everything is configured correctly, as a matter of fact, by the books. The winbox cannot be seen nor can it see anything else on the LAN. I thought perhaps it might be a cracked wire somewhere along the cable or a mis-wired wallbox, but I've checked it and everything is literally straight cable...no accidental crossovers. I used a multi-tester and check the wires in pairs and everything is A-OK electro-mechanically. I'm guessing there is some issue with the SMC converters that prevents them from being connected into a hub...I really don't think there should be, but as it was supplied by @home, I didn't get a manual or other info with it, nor have I yet located a support or FAQ site. There is no RTFM here...does anyone have any experience with this sort of adapter? It can't be windows or linux and the bsd machine isn't even connected. each machine is uniquely addressed is able to ping itself, but the winmachine just doesn't wanna play with the big boys...please any assisstance would be appreciated with this converter. All I want is one good ping to and from this machine and the rest is academic. -- _ Logos: The Word of the Aeon - "I shall endure for all time" -Frater Perdurabo- _ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

Create dirs for guest user: cp -r /home/ftp/* /home/penguin/ chgrp /home/penguin/pub 5.

Re: [expert] Help Wanted!: building a Internet-Box
You must think that you will have some pretty linux savey public users. Just an opinion, but since most of the public users say to a library or school will be windows users, wouldn't a more windows like interface work better. Why not use KDE, remove the logout button from the panel. In most public libraries and such, the staff turn everything on and login prior to opening, at least they do here. Set up an account for public use. Use Netscape as most would be familiar with it for internet. Set it up to start in X then edit the login manager to only show the one account. This way if someone does manage to logout of X, they only have the one option. You can edit the keymap to elimenate any specific key combinations that you want.
