Thx, Stef The process that has worked a number of times for me is more automated. Maybe there will be something you could use. It follows the procedure at MUO: http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/kupgrade3.html Basically, what I do is: 1. Install sources (tarball, rpm) 2. cd /usr/src/linux 3. make mrproper 4. make xconfig 5. load config file = /boot/config (This is how the current kernel was compiled. Don't know how this differs from .config) 6. Make small number of adjustments 7. make dep make clean make bzImage make modules 8. make modules_install make install The kernel install script installs the kernel in /boot, mkinitrd --ifneeded, changes links in /boot to point to the new kernel, modifies the bootloader with an entry for the previous kernel. This is how I remember it; I always check /boot and usually have the bootloader on a different install, so I manually check the sanity, at least. The most recent kernel I did this for was 2.4.20-ac1, as I needed to build kernels for my hpt372 controller but the ac patches that allow this controller to work for me have been incorporated in the newer Mandrake kernels in cooker.

I have never used these modules. One thing I have run into, if you edit a config file, say /etc/modules, and add your modules to the end: [..] adi joydev for instance, put a line feed after the last line you edit. Without the newline, I have had config files fail to get read, leading to failure to boot in at least one case. Those modules load here with modprobe: adi 6232 0 (unused) input 3456 0 [adi] gameport1660 0 [adi] [..] joydev 5632 0 (unused) input 3456 0 [joydev] [..] and show dependency modules. One thing I might try is to add the dependencies your system shows earlier in /etc/modules. Another strategy would be to modprobe adi and modprobe joydev at the bottom of /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Corporate Server will alleviate this. It will have 12-18mos between

RE: [expert] Mandrake RPM updates
I could find no download for CS2.1, so I assume its purchase only???
I don't mind them paying for it, but I'd like to try it out first...
See basically, I don't need wizards and GUI stuff for the most part..
I have my standard config files.. which once I have installed a system, I
copy them accross
and my server is almost done..
To have to pay for support I'd very likely never use is abit rough..
(I bought a powerpack and never used the support portion of that either.)
I just want a basic system with the server apps, and updates for what is
installed..
chroot all around would be good, but apart from that, there isn't much else
I need.
Just to support mandrake, I would make the boss buy at least one copy, but
I'd have to try it
before we outlayed the cash.. if it isn't want I want, then no deal...
anyone in my position would
feel the same way.
I am worried that I'd have compilation issues with stuff I load, wondering
what is different between it and other packages.
wondering how compatable it is with other mandrake rpms... that sort of
stuff..
Also how it handles hardware raid, scsi drives stuff like that..
what is the word on this? i have not even seen a list of the kernel and
package version..
Do you have any info to pass on??
Is CS2.1 the first mandrake to NOT be free software??? I ask because there
is no download version...

Re: [expert] Bandwidth partitioning
Hi! Within Morpheus you can set it to only use a certain amount of bandwidth. For the most part, it's fairly good about it (except that the bandwidth controls don't apply to the spyware/leechware portions of the program). The only other way to do this is with an expensive router with bandwidth-control filters, like the ones Packeteer makes. I don't know of any free software implementations that will allow you to do bandwidth limiting through a standard mandrake (or linux of any kind) router/firewall/workstation.

Mandrake Linux GPL version is the base system. It's free and downloadable. All other products also consist of a mixture of Free Software and commercial apps (PowerPack, ProSuite, Corporate Server). If you define Free Software by the question whether you can download it or not you should have a look at the GPL and some more documents about Free Software and the GPL. According to your definition the PowerPack and ProSuite are also not free because you cannot download them. wobo -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.

[expert] Lyx with QT frontend is out
If any of you are interested, an individual on the lyx-users list build a Mandrake 9.0 version of Lyx with a QT frontend today and posted to the web. It is lovely. If any of your are lyx users you may want to have a look. It can be downloaded at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/1.3.0 I just installed and tested it.

Re: [expert] drakbackup
Wednesday, civileme mused: The employer was too cheap to give me a separate workstation, so it was my six years of work that was lost. For the same reason, it was risky to try restoring from tape though I had always done one file a month. Anyway, the tapes were stretched and dirty and the drive was unusable. I have been burning CDs since that time, even when the burns were at 1X. Civileme Oooh! I think I would have to smack that employer around a little! Well, back from my original post - I googled around for some other ideas and end up with a simple bash script that I adjusted to fit my own needs and then did crontab -e for 3:45 am every morning. I don't have more than 300 megs total that I'm backing up, it's just the configs, web, email, etc... that takes time to get back. Anything else (mp3's, digital photos, programs, etc... I put on cdr's.

[expert] Kernel Upgrade to 2.4.19-24
I have tried twice to update the kernel from 2.4.19-16 to 2.4.20 the first time and to 2.4.19-24 the second one. The only problem that I am facing is that I can not get X to start. Now (after enabling ACPI) doing shutdown -h now my machine power-off (Femme, I know somebody said that it doesn't have anything to do with powering off, but in my case it does), my sound card is recognized (this problem has been a major PITA with Mandrake and this Toshiba laptop) and every service is starting fine but the graphical environment. Now I am absolutely clueless on what to do or where to go and will consider installing Mandrake again just a last resource(several installs in last 2 months in the process of learning but now I have a fairly decent setup that I don't want lose). I started with original /boot/config and only added support to ACPI and dropped a lot of modules, mainly ethernet cards that I don't use or need, old disks support, radio amateur support, SMP and picked Pentium III/Coopermine/Celeron as processor. Upgrade was made using gcc 3.2 (after doing the upgrade I read advises against it). Hints, clues, tips, advises or RTFM links will be truly appreciated.

Um...what good features would those be? you mean not having to reboot
Well, I dual-boot one machine for the express purpose of playing EverQuest
when time allows (maybe once or twice a week). So Win2k is good for that.

Yup. I would be Win-free, except for EverQuest. I hear it's coming out for
the Mac soon, which would be great, except the Mac version won't be able to
interact with the Win version, meaning separate servers. Meaning starting
all over again. =( I'll keep my 5GB Win2k partition specifically to play
it. My Wintendo, as it were.

You know, I can probably count on two hands the number of times my Linux boxes have crashed for something other than hardware. I've been using Linux for something like 7 years so this equates to a little more than a single crash every year. That is about right. At my former company the MDK 7.1 server was recently brought down accidentally after almost 18 months of uptime (someone was ssh'ed in and ran an init 0 on the wrong shell). Not bad. There's a joke that goes something like this: What's the difference between Windows and Linux developers? On hearing that a machine achieves 99.9% uptime, a Windows developer will put this in their marketing, congratulate themselves and throw a party in celebration.

I was going to simply let this thread slide on by my workstation and keep my mouth shut, as it's Friday, and I am exhausted after a 60+ hour week. Then I remembered my little chart, and after finding it in the archive directory, and reviewing the results of nearly two years of comparitive studies and constant testing, particularly with regard to Windows XP versus Mandrake 9.0, I simply *had* to say something. Between a huge volume of e-mail, plus constant involvement in various other writing projects, programming in Perl and Delphi and various other forms of database development, I would say I probably am as hard on a workstation as anyone else. For a fortunately brief period of time each year, I have performed quality analyses on two other workstations powered by Microsoft products and my own workstation running Mandrake. There is *not* a year but what the Mandrake box has handily won, but this year neither of the XP boxes stood a chance when it came to the race for efficiency. Here is a tiny sample: Current Uptime: Windows 2 days 6 hoursMandrake 14 months 9 days Mean average: Windows 2+ days Mandrake 13 months+ Last forced reboot Windows 2 days Mandrake NEVER Time consumed in last patch/upgrade: Windows 3.2 hours Mandrake .75 hours (45 mins) Viruses/worms Windows (2) Mandrake 0 Catastrophic faults Windows 9 Mandrake 0 (failures which required user intervention and loss of use) Here's an anomaly that stands out: Most productive version of each brand: Windows 98 Mandrake 8.2 and up I keep the Windows machines running only because the corporate databases are written entirely in FoxBase, but we are slowly beginning to phase that out in favor of Kylix, which means within the next year database development will be moved entirely to Mandrake workstations. To be politically-correct, I am not here to bash Windows. However, given the number of times the Windows boxes have been patched and upgraded, I still cannot seem to do better than 2 or 3 days uptime before one or both of them crash or require a reboot.
