Re: [expert] Determing configure options for package
Nathan, There is supposed to be, according to Maximum RPM and the man page where you can directly query a specfile to see what it's doing but I've never gotten results I could use out of it. The method I talked about below has helped me more in the past so I suggested it.

However, out of curiosity, did you add options, such as "Allow from" or "Deny from" to the directory options in your conf file? And, if not, how will you control which client machine or user will run these scrips? Assigning directory perms will only solve part of this control issue for your cgi directory.

This is the default: CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_OLD is not set I would guess that if you change it to read: # CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_OLD=y Then rerun 'make oldconfig', then do all the normal kernel make and install stuff, you might end up with a system that's using the old drm instead of drm 4.0.

[expert] setting IRQ on a pci card
How can I set the IRQ on a pci card? I have a conflict between an on-board ethernet device and a PCI soundcard: both want IRQ 5. I have attempted to use pirq=, but no luck there. Any advice? Thanks, Hoyt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

do you have a cd or floppy that came with either the mother board, or the sound card? can you move the sound card to a different slot on the motherboard?

[expert] Compaq DL360 / Installer Swap Problem
Greetings to the List, I am trying to install Mdk 8.2 ProSuite Edition on a Compaq DL360 with Smart Array 5i RAID controller. I must run "linux ide=nodma" to get the installer up. So far, so good. I do the disk partitioning, then go to format the partitions. I then get an error in a dialog box: "An error occurred. Swap area needs to be." What is this? Google does not show anything, nor a quick search on Mandrake's site - anyone else run into this problem? I have tried "auto allocate", tried making the swap size larger, smaller, tried formatting the partitions separately, no avail. I get this same error when trying to format the swap partition separately as well. Any clues would be greatly appreciated - a solution would be greeted with positive joy! Regards, David P.S. The same problem occurs with the 8.2 Power Pack Edition. -- "Entropy Requires No Maintenance" Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

When there is a conflict, it is because both "slots" share the same signaling lines to the CPU. If you change one in the bios, you change the other as well.

I haven't done so yet, but the interface requires a login when you connect to the server. Without that, you can't access the system, either. I plan to put the deny/allow stuff you mentioned in, provided I decide to keep using PureSecure (it's proving an... interesting challenge to get it running completely - I can't get the version of snort they provide to connect to the database). I may just end up getting rid of the whole thing and put Mandrake's version of snort back in place, and see if I can't find a good monitor/report that will work with that. --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well, I removed the card rather than just switching slots and now have no IRQ conflicts, but I still get X11 crashes. They're mostly associated with KDE3's kmail, but konqueror and konsole crash as well. The X errors look like: select returned 0 and ICE default IO error but nothing specific.
