[expert] Not all Mandrake 9.2 mirrors are the same
Hi Everyone, Just working out the mandrake mirror situation, especially i like the extras such as the contrib stuff, and other extras that are normally in the Mandrake mirror such as http-naat .. O.K. in the past I have been using http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/mandrake/9.2 but the mirror there this time is very differnet, it's really just a mirror of the continence of the download edition of Mandrake 9.2, no contribs etc.. I have checked out http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/Mandrake/9.2/ it's a very different mirror, does anyone know what's happening with the mirroring of Mandrake 9.2, and what would be best mirror to use for someone in Australia, definitely public.planetmirror.com is not a good mirror for Mandrake 9.2.

another problem with kweather: You can't set the taskbar applet to show only the weather icon and the temperature (I am not really interested in windspeed and air pressure). the only way is to compile the applet from the source and to modify it by yourself.

Re: [expert] Not all Mandrake 9.2 mirrors are the same
Mate, If you haven't yet then go to the plf.zarb.org site and follow the instructions for setting up urpmi. There are various different kinds of repository (or whatever its called). Some have what is on the disk, some updates, some illegal stuff (like stuff to allow watching dvds, which is illegal!, no worries about viruses though...its pretty much the mandrake people it seems to me...or people pretty close anyway), some other java stuff and the great contribs. There may be some variation in what you get on the different mirrors (eg planetmirror, club-internet, etc) but I'm not sure. It has been a bit of a nightmare finding the kernel-source files, that are definitely NOT everywhere.

I,m considering getting Verizon dsl, since it is now available in my area, and my wireless connection is not reliable. I had a Verizon dialup account once for about three years, with no problems, until one day I could no longer connect to the mail servers unless I used windows. Are any of you using Verizon dsl, and if so are there any problems with using Linux? Nope, I have not had any problems with Verizon either, but do watch out for not being set up correctly at first. In our new house, when we transfered the account, we had such a crummy setup that it was like sipping through a straw. I use a linux router with no problems. Verizon just needs to be setup so that you can connect to their DHCP server and be dealt an IP address. And then you need to point each machine to their DNS. Their CD is just for dummies, and people that want to be configured to only use IE and their page as home. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

Re: [expert] LG CDRoms
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It had hit cooker 3 times instead. I will reply to GC and tell him. I think its really time to fix sympa ;) I am surprised it made it to expert at all with cooker in the To field. I have never seen an email go to more than one mandrake list. I would expect this email to go to cooker twice (once for cooker, and once for expert). eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] 9.2 and xscreensaver
Xscreensaver is installed on my machine: xscreensaver-4.12-1mdk, but the screen savers are not showing up in KDE Control Center/Appearance Themes/Screen Saver. And this is with a reboot of the machine (not related) and several reboots of X. Now, is there something that I am supposed to do to get it to work, or did Mandrake blow it?

Rob I have seen others grapple with screensavers not being shown. There are several strategies in the following thread, one or two of which seem to have also come across the cooker mailing list and would be in those archives: http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modloadname=Splatt_Forumfile=viewtopictopic=12294forum=11 Rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
