Have you tried links. I have found that links has more features than lynx. Both are non gui browsers. I am not sure of the wt of each.

RE: [expert] evolution and dictionaries.
Just adding to the thread. If you use RedCarpet are you not stuck to using it for regular upgrades for patches etc. As RedCarpet will use Ximian Gnome libraries, you are now dependent on Red Carpet. My 2 cents. It makes good sense for Corp Customers.

[expert] APM Suppport for Mandrake 9
I have a laptop with mandrake 9.0 2.4.19-16mdk installed. I have been noticing that although I have APM support, my batteries lose their capacity faster than on Windows XP on the same box ( Dual Boot). Does anyone know if the APM support is present on mandrake stock kernel or must I perform a custom compile. If I have to do a custom kernel compile, could some one tell me what options do I have to keep ( A must). I have e100 builtin, pcmcia support needed (must I use the one from kernel or pcmcia sources) APM, APCI etc .. Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] WLAN -Pism2 Chipset-Mandrake9-config question.
Hello all: I have installed Mandrake9 on a IBM Thinkpad TP23 ( config: Windows XP on had 22GB, Mandrake 22GB, Lucent Winmodem(detected but informed that I need a third party driver), Hitachi DVD-ROM ultrabay, Intel E100 builtin card,DWL-650 wireless card based on Prism2 chipset on pcmcia) with Grub as my boot loader. This machine does not have a built in wireless card. I installed a workstation with a few additions to the standard install and did the update towards the end of the installation. Now I would like to have my DWL-650 wireless card working. The machine has a built in e100 and it was properly detected. I am new to Mandrake but very familiar to RedHat. I was very happy to note that my card was detected (wlan_cs) but it was the wrong type. So I went to the folder called /3rdparty and found that there were precompiled versions of prism2_cs driver which is what my card uses. I modified the /etc/pcmcia/config file to change the driver for the Intersil Prisim II to read prism2_cs instead of wlan_cs. Also I added on my /etc/modules.conf alias wlan0 prism2_cs I rebooted and my card beeped 2times like before and then I got a steady green light Upon lsmod I found that prism2_cs was loaded and so was p80211 and ds and yenta_socket. Also upon startup the pcmcia notified that it was going to start ./network wlan0 ( this prompted me to add the alias mentioned before, so I did have to reboot before to make this happen). Now when I type iwconfig wlan0 I get no wireless information. My access point is a DL-1000AP with 128 WEP encryption enabled. I read the wlan-ng readme and it looks like a) this driver reads a different set of config files. If so how can I find out what version of the driver I have ( came with mandrake 9). b) Has anyone run into this scenario ? If so could you kindly post what your experiences are. I think I am very close to get it working out of the box but missing some important config files. Maybe they are there in my box but I am just not sure where mandrake puts the files. Also all the files are .gz but when I do a insmod to insert a module it sees to read the gz file and loads it ( kind of different from Red Hat).

RE: [expert] WLAN -Pism2 Chipset-Mandrake9-config question.
Here is a quick update on the Prism 2 chipset with mandrake 9.0 Thanks to Jerry to point me to the prism2_utils package. The Wireless card is now up and running with 128 bit WEP out of the box (sort of). I installed the rpm and modified the wlan-ng.opts file under /etc/pcmcia to enable wep and put my 128 bit key in key0. I had to create ifcfg-wlan0 file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ with the usual networking parameters Started wlan service and restarted the pcmcia service bingo got a ip from the Access point. Able to use my wireless card. Thanks for all your help. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jerry A!
