If so you will see the option to use the filesystem ext3. It is supported in LMDK 8.2.

I've never heard of anyone doing this, and IMO it's not a good idea to compile a kernel without checking the config options yourself, and with an src.rpm you have no way to do that without unpacking the src.rpm. Is that what you did, and if so what preconfigurations did you find? If you're after getting a kernel like the Mandrake people did it on the cdroms, then I suggest loading the kernel from the cdroms. Just because you have a source rpm there's no guarantee that the factory mandrake config options have been saved to that rpm. Have you verified or asked anyone about that? Even with applications or other classes of source packages, it's sometimes tricky to get --rebuild to function flawlessly. Personally I've never heard of anyone doing this with a kernel src.rpm; mostly because perhaps doing so relieves you of all kernel configuration control, unless you open up the src and then repackage it again, which would invalidate the reason for --rebuild in the first place. Perhaps Civileme has something to share on this. > All I want is to generate the mdk82 kernel rpm, in the same way it was > generated by > mandrake.

You're assuming that the kernel programmers would rather do a --rebuild than configure using the tools built into the kernel source for that purpose?

[expert] i18n and KDE problem on Mandrake 8.2
The problem: KDE doesn't respect locale setting (LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL...) Description: 1. I installed Mandrake 8.2 using its CD1 and CD2. During its installation, I chose Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.GB2312) as installation language, and also chose other languages (includeing en_US) to be available after installation. 2. After installation, as expected, KDE uses Chinese fonts for display. Then I decided to switch back to English fonts without much success: I changed /etc/sysconfig/i18n to use en_US, and I don't have local .18n; I also changed /etc/menu-methods/lang.h to make lang() and languages() return en_US only. Now, running "locale" shows the following: LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= Linux virtual console seems to respect this settting. But still, when I fire up startx, KDE is using Chinese fonts again! What am I missing here? Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated! -nick Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've got a Toshiba Satellite... it's a little on the older side (forget the model number)... only has a 10GB HDD, maximum 160MB RAM... works ok. Not bad... have it dual-booting Win98 and Mandrake 8.2... the PCMCIA ethernet and wireless cards work great. But I just picked up a 600MHz ibook (G3) the other day... comes with built-in 128MB RAM expandable to 640MB (waiting for a 512MB SO-DIMM to come in right now). Has a built in ethernet, 2 usb, firewire... comes with a cable to hook it up to an external monitor, and you can buy AV cables to hook it up to a TV (RCA style). Comes with an internal modem (no idea how well it works). I bought the Airport card and it works *awesome*... wasn't autodetected, but it was on the list and once I selected it, eth0 was for the built-in ethernet and the airport was eth1... works awesome with my SMC wireless hub. In short, the Toshiba is just sitting around not doing much right now... I may blow Mandrake and Win98 off of it and use it to play with FreeBSD or OpenBSD. The ibook is my laptop of choice... it's only 5lbs, smaller than the others, and does 1024x768 resolution. And Mandrake 8.2/ppc works *awesome* on it... couldn't ask for a better OS. I also have it dual-booting OS/X just because I want to fiddle with it a little. I have no personal opinion on the Sony, but I've heard from a few folks that they'll never touch a Sony computer again. My vote is the ibook... it's cheaper than the currently-available (new) lower-end laptops... the G3 ibook is pretty cheap (the G4 tibooks can be a little more expensive). Oh, this one also comes with a DVD-ROM, so I plan on fiddling with the DVD players too.

Microsoft's patent license wording apparently bans all > open-source licenses, GPL just happens to be the only one they mention > specifically. Are you sure? When I looked at it, it looked like it bans all licenses that place restrictions on the other code you include with it. That squarely puts it in opposition to the (L)GPL, but the BSD-style licenses should be fine. And they most certainly are open-source licenses. :-) Ahh, here's a quote from the definitions: 1.4 "IPR Impairing License" shall mean the GNU General Public License, the GNU Lesser/Library General Public License, and any license that requires in any instance that other software distributed with software subject to such license (a) be disclosed and distributed in source code form; (b) be licensed for purposes of making derivative works; or (c) be redistributable at no charge. So it does a little more than I said. It also prevents you making code that others would have to license from you (i.e. you can't use their docs to make code that Microsoft has to license from you to use).

Re: [expert] newbie help with iptables
I've mentioned this before, but you might also want to check out some example firewalling scripts which would probably enlighten you a bit more than just simply reading the iptables documentation. There are some good ones here: http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables Probably the one that I liked the most had lots of comments and was somewhat more organized than a lot of other scripts that I have looked at. That one can be found here: http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/scripts/rc.firewall_023.txt BTW, if you are running a simple in-house network where you aren't overly concerned about internal attacks, you could just allow all local TCP packets through your firewall. You probably will want to block all connections to X (port 6000) from the external world though. Something like this will allow everything on your LAN to pass through the firewall. INTIF=eth1# network interface connected to your LAN INTNET=192.168.1.0 # network associated with your LAN /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i $INTIF -s $INTNET -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -s $INTNET -j DROP# dump anything else claiming to be on LAN --Rob Mitchell, Edmund wrote: >Hello all > >I'm new to iptables, (and no hotshot with Linux, either), so I'm hoping >someone can point me in a good direction for some docs on iptables basics - >I just need to get it to accept tcp packets from port 6000, and I don't know >the necessary voodoo. > >Thanks > >Edmund > > > > >Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? >Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Help with USB Camera/gphoto/mass storage problem in Mandrake 8.2
Thanks, shutting off devfs seemed to do the trick. One question: when you delete the files using your file manager or the command line, does your camera realize that they're gone, or does it still think that they're there. It seems like my camera insists they are still there until I delete the pictures from the camera itself...

[expert] LANGUAGE=pt_BR (ok), LANGUAGE=pt_PT :(
Hi, I installed MDK 8.0 with Brazilian Portuguese language option, but I also installed locales for Spanish, English, French and Portuguese (Portugal). Under console terminal, I just re-set 'export LANGUAGE=en_US' and my language change from Portuguese to English, ok. If I try 'export LANGUAGE=pt_PT', or any other language (es_ES or fr_FR), it's still remain in English, only if I set 'export LANGUAGE=pt_BR) I got what I want. I'm wondering why only pt_BR works out (besides English, which must be default). Can someone give some idea about it?

There's the problem it shows only 800x600 and 1024x768 and you have to click some button to select anythig different. The refresh rate is how X work and is reasonoble because it prevents you from having 640x480@160 ;-) IMHO if you really want 100Hz you can edit the config. -- Michal Suchanek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
