I used the 2.4.21-0.13 and mow 2.4.21-0.18mm and with both kernels I have no problem with using my IDE-DVD with ide-scsi as for watching DVDs... The only thing I did was linking the scsi-device to /dev/dvd "ln -s /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /dev/dvd" Do you use supermount for that drive? With 2.4.19 I had (As many others too.) big problems with supermount...it lost "contact" to a mounted drive after a few minutes. So you possibly should update to a 2.4.21.

You'll probably need to post the -exact- text from the error message so we can see what is happening. Did you do all the usual?

I think Konq does exactly what you're asking. When downloading, it will put
the file in your download directory and call it .part. So, you
might want to try Konq to do that. You might be able to work around the
problem in Moz by turning your cache off. That's just a guess, but it might
work...

Re: [expert] STOOOOPIDITY...
I have run into this insanely annoying behavior before too. I have LOTS of hdd space but I did not give /tmp it's own multigigabyte partition, just an unreasonably large 800 MBs. I download to /usr/local/download, period. It exists on my system for downloads because it has LOTS of space dedicated to it. I a link to it in my home dir and have rwx access to this directory. I have been screwed by other apps downloading files due to lack of hdd space, however - all due to /tmp not being gigabytes in size. A temp fix: do a "mv /tmp /tmp-old and creat a new /tmp that is a link to your REAL download location. Once the download completes, delete the symlink and mv /tmp-old to /tmp again. praedor --- Charles A Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 25 Jul 2003 13:01:25 -0400 > Pierre Fortin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > WHY do browser writers insist they know more about > the operating > > environment than the user...? > > If you are going to use a browser to dl use opera. > > As to dl location both mozilla and galeon Will use > your selected > location But as you noted until the dl is complete > both use /tmp, > which is fine for most dls but for ISOs there will > not sufficient space. > > > Charles > > -- > You will be dead within a year. > - > Mandrake Linux 9.2 on PurpleDragon > Kernel- 2.4.21.6mdk http://www.eslrahc.com > - > > ATTACHMENT part 2 application/pgp-signature __ Do you Yahoo!?

I had the same problem... The module nvidia doesn't autoload the first time after the installatiion... Go as root in terminal and type : modprobe nvidia and then kde. does it loads fine?

Hello people I have my setup box mostly setup ;). With all the reinstalling and updating I've done in the past week, trying to find packages, getting updates, and so forth, I seem to be missing autoconf again. Now I remember that there were two divergent versions of autoconf, 2.1.3 (which I just installed) and 2.54 (which I can't find an rpm for). In the past I went unto gnu.org for this, is that still the best option? Increasingly things (I'm trying to compile a new gtkatlantic) :) are requiring the 2.54 autoconf.

Here is a snippet fro the RPM description for 2.57 -- PLEASE NOTICE ---> this version is meant to coexist with autoconf-2.13 (for backwards compatibility); to that end, the various binaries are actually linked to a script which decides which version to execute. It tries to be clever and will execute 2.5x if `configure.ac' is present, or if `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters are stringwise greater than '2.1'. You can also manually select it by providing the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 set to `1' (use WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 if you want the 2.13 version). -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
