Re: [expert] Installation just stops! ?? help!
Mark, This is simplistic, but do other cdroms work in that machine? If so, the first thing I would check is for finger smudges or scratches on your cdrom disk. I've had installs stop, and rejection of cd-2 or cd-3 when asked for them. I couldn't figure it out, until I cleaned off the cdrom of small finger smudges. Then all went perfectly. It's amazing how a little smudge can prevent the thing from being read at a certain point, and this seems to abort the installs. Of course, this might not be your problem, but certainly worth a look.

Re: [expert] IRC Chat server software
Eggdrop is a pretty solid bot. Can authenticate users on multiple channels, kick and ban unwanted people and keep track of who attempts to attack the bot. Does not require you to have a workstation running just to keep bot alive as bot runs from any server.

Re: [expert] Installation just stops! ?? help!
Hmm.. Since it happened with 8.2 also, here's another thing I thought of. Since you changed boards, have you checked the new bios, and made sure the PNP OS is not selected. That's the usual default setting, and that will hang a Mandrake install.

It's amazing how a little smudge can prevent the thing from being read at a certain point, and this seems to abort the installs. Of course, this might not be your problem, but certainly worth a look. Robert Crawford Hi Robert, I hadn't thought of that and will definately check it out. The one thing that makes me wonder though is that the very same thing happened when I attempted to load Mandrake 8.2 as well as 9.0. But I will check the finger smudges first.

Re: [expert] problem with sound on mkd9 install
The HW list in the Control Centre DOES NOT display my Card. Nothing ! Actually, when I add the cs4232 module to modules.conf (as I was doing with MDK 8.2...), it does not make any difference too. My card, a Crystal Sound 4232 is not recognized. When I use sndconfig (outside of the X Windows environment) it takes a lng time to detect something, then it detects a Crystal Sound 4232 GAME (I have never seen this GAME label in other versions of MDK) and then it is unable to play any sound !

Maybe. What I'll say is based on years old knowledge so it may be slightly off in the details (I hardly used `vargs' in my progamming days) but the idea of what's happening will remain intact. When, at the prompt (==), you type something like: ==command Arg1 Arg2 The shell first splits the line into strings arg0, arg1, arg2 and assigns the elements of the commandline to them: arg0 = command arg1 = Arg1 arg2 = Arg2 Whitespace, i.e., spaces, newlines, and tabs in between, before, and after the elements on the commandline is (as I recall) discarded so that if, say, Arg2 is not supplied, then string arg2 will not be defined in the application you are running. In particular, then, lets say you type: ==test -n foo Within `test' string arg1 = -n and string arg2 = foo and the test is meaningful and will return TRUE becuase `-n' says (is arg2 a sting) AND (is arg2 not empty) which is true. Likewise if arg2 = (the empty string) will return false. However for ==test -nspacesCR or just ==test -nCR where spaces stands for spaces and CR stands for the the newline, arg2 is _undefined_ which means it is not even in the category of string much less the empty string (which is still something. namely \0 in memory). So `test' is saying to itself I have no arg2 to test against. Formally, arg2 does not exist == arg2 is not a string. Hence you get an automatic false. Likewise for -z and no following argument.

I've never used any Evolution version pre-1.0, and I've never seen any of the things people have been complaining about in this thread. I do know it's not a very good IMAP client, but this doesn't affect me as I think IMAP is a rather sucky[1] protocol and I don't use it. I've also had some instability in each of the Evolution modules, but it's always been limited to that module -- I just get a little popup stating that Contacts unexpectedly quit, or I can't view the summary page. oaf-slay fixes it. I will unequivocally state that the evolution-pilot conduits suck rocks, to the point of actively being worse than having no synchronization capability at all.

The very bad handling of threads is the reason I quit using Evolution. To each his own -- I gave up using mutt because the config file was a monolithic cruftpile on the order of sendmail.cf or procmailrc, a reason at which mutt aficionados will only sneer. I gave up on kmail because it would grab duplicate copies of mail from the local /var/spool/mail/user and had zero integration with kpilot (a pile of junk in its own right at the time). KDE fans will leap to assure me that it's all fixed now and if it isn't I can surely rearrange my needs to meet kmail's requirements :-) [1] The thing I dislike about IMAP is its fundamental design and reason for existence, which is the idea that my mail should stay on the server and get copied to my client. If I want the mail to stay on the server, I'll leave it there in an mbox or maildir and access it with a local client over an encrypted tunnel. If I want it on my desktop, I want it to get here as fast as possible and be deleted from the server because it's no longer necessary there. This design problem leads to all the implementation problems of IMAP: SLOWness, lack of integration with local folder structures, and muddling of GUIs for rule-creation, mass copy or delete, etc. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
