Re: [expert] kde2 rpms on contrib disk.
No, they will not upgrade from the previous version. further more trying to install kde2 while it is still in development is not for the faint of heart. If you do succeed and kde2 does load when you boot you will see that a lot of things still do not work...

It'd be nice if it added it to the chooser for kdm and let me switch back and forth. Does it do this?

Absolutly, I have a dual PIII 733 with a half gig of ram but you will have to recompile your kernal to make it work with dual processors Dean Price --- Howard Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I just got Mandrake version 7.0 and was wondering if it supports multi processor system.

Re: [expert] Netscape bashing
Hi all, I am running Mandrake 7.0 and Netscape 4.08 on a Pentium 200MMX with 96MB ram with a 133MB Swap. I have yet to see any problems with any aspect of the system. Just thought I would add my two cents. --- Jeremy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Vic wrote: I'm running a AMDK6-3 400 with 64M sysram and 90Mb swap, I noticed that unless I stick with netscape version 4.08, all the ones later will start eating up my swap until X crashes. Is this a memory leak? yup, another thing to love about NutScrape. I try to keep an eye on memory usage, dont think I ever let it take that much. Here's something to try: startup x without much else running, then load up netscape, note you memory usage and leave it on overnight. See what you have the next day (provided its still running). Then wonder why 1 navigator window requires 30 mb - something I could never understand.

I've had to delete the .netscape directories many times. My 7.0 install has been up less than a week, but has had heavy netscape usage so I pray this lasts!

[expert] Serial Port Digital Camera
I Have a kodak dc20 digital. I obtained the software drivers for it but when It scans the ports (ttys0) It says it can not find any devices... I have my external port set to use 3f8,irq4 (com1 ... ttys0) but is not there... I checked the system info and I see no irq assigned to com1... This is much disturbing since I have successfully installed Printer, scanner, oneway cable modem and even tv-tuner card. Any ideas on the subject would certainly be appreciated.
