Even gaming is getting closer! But yeah I have an unsupported USB Lexmark X83 so have to go into windows for printing and scanning and games, but all my mp3's are on an ext3 partition!

I know this is a billing question, but was wondering if anyone has paid for their mandrake club thing but not have it charge your credit card? I paid the 12th, figured it take a day or something but it still hasn't shown up? Hmmm. I still have the transaction number and stuff, I'll e-mail or call them this monday. -Brandon _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [expert] Beta 3 - ISO buring problems
I'm the guy that had the, "cd burning session from he**" as one list member put it. I never got the cd's burnt, but I am going to buy Mandrake 8.2 when it comes out. I have an old phillips 36610. Approaching 3 years old, its a 2x2x4. Unfortunately I went to my bank account and have a lot less money than I thought (I'm in college, my monetary assets aren't over $1200, so $200 is quite significant.) It does fine for most stuff, just takes a while. -Brandon On Wed, 2002-02-27 at 01:01, James wrote: > On Tue, 26 Feb 2002 18:22:21 + > "David .." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > I'm having a hell of a time getting beta 3 working or even installed.

Re: [expert] [OT] Burning iso's
Heh, I'm a freshman in college. Although I wasn't offended by the post, I appreciate people looking out for the civility of this list. No one wants to see too much BASHing on the list. Midterms have hit, all i have time for is: eat, study, bathroom, study, class. Notice the absence of sleep... pray for me :-) After spring break (which oddly for me is next week) I will be back and attack this whole problem of burning iso's with a vengeance. Plus i am sick today, probably because of 9 hours of sleep over the past 48 hours... college life is awesome except for the school part. (look how much i rambled just now... geez) -Brandon > > Dude, > > Please keep it civil... if you can't maybe holding back a while before > > you post is in order.

That'd be great. Well, I copied the mandrake cd1 file to windows to do it that way and the file is apparently corrupted. :-( But my experiences with people on this list have become enough to me deciding to buy 8.2 when it comes out. Or at least get a cd version off of cheapbytes or whatever. Mandrake users rock!

Right, my main thing is to get a feel of Mandrake. By using the newest beta i can get a feel of how the 8.2 final will be before buying it. Makes complete sense about the update utility for beta's, Cooker is much like RH's rawhide right? The current version of the distro as it is worked on, from what I saw from the mandrake website. But once you get to a final distro is rsync what they use for keeping things in sync? > Oh, yeah: Not all of us have high speed access -- so not being able to get > 100KB/S doesn't seem like the end of the world to us.

Re: [expert] Re: Beta2 to beta3
Great, thanks. On rsync, I've seen a ton of mention of it on the K12LTSP listserv which I'm also a part of. I'll be doing that. thanks guys, hopefully I'll be e-mailing you from Mandrake soon. :-)(not that I hate RH, just want to try something new and the whole apt-get-like capabilities of Mandrake's RPM installer sound great) -Brandon On Thu, 2002-02-21 at 15:56, J.P.

Well, the second cd quit downloading at 612 megabytes out of 648 possible, and wouldn't resume without losing it all, so I guess I answered my own question. I'll start downloading Beta 3, should finish it in 10 days... :-) -Brandon On Thu, 2002-02-21 at 13:45, Brandon Dorman wrote: > Hello, > > I've been a fan of Red Hat for almost three years, really diving into > it in the past 6 months (recompiled the 2.4.17 kernel, got my ide cd > burner working, sound card working now, almost got my printer working) > but recently have read some stuff that makes Mandrake sound very > attractive!

[expert] Beta2 to beta3
Hello, I've been a fan of Red Hat for almost three years, really diving into it in the past 6 months (recompiled the 2.4.17 kernel, got my ide cd burner working, sound card working now, almost got my printer working) but recently have read some stuff that makes Mandrake sound very attractive! So I started to download the beta iso's. This was a few days ago. My campus' network connection has been very slow at times, going from 100KB/S all the way down to 4KB/S. I am about done with CD2 and noticed that Beta3 has been released. Is there a utility like up2date in RH that makes it pretty easy to upgrade once I've gotten it installed? no matter what I'll probably buy the 8.2 boxed set if I like it. But in the meantime I do like stability. :-) Thanks! -Brandon _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
