[expert] CDROM won't work
Okay, i tried asking this one a while back and didn't get any response so i guess i'll
give it another shot.
My CD-ROM was not detected when i installed mandrake so i ended up copying the CD's
onto my windows partition and doing a HD install which worked okay except that at the
beginning of the installation when it says "Finding IDE devices.." (or something like
that.. can't remember) there would be a LONG pause (i thought it locked up on me but
after leaving it to go to supper i found that it actually worked :)
Now i know that there's no problem with the CD-Rom because:
a) It works in windows
b) It worked in Redhat 7.0
(Interestingly enough i remember that it stopped working in Redhat when i upgraded to
a 2.4 kernel)
And before you ask, yes i tried mounting the CD-ROM. The problem is bigger than that.
As proof i submit a snippet from dmesg:

A little help please? I included some (possibly) relevent info that i found in
/proc/ide/ide6/hdm/

ide-cdrom version 4.59
Thanks,

Re: [expert] Opening URL's in Sylpheed
Ah HA! I figured it out, and it was really stupid too. When i downloaded mozilla i got the full binary install instead of the installer which downloads the necessary files and installs them in the default directories. So i have mozilla installed in /usr/local/mozilla1.0/mozilla/ which, of course, isn't in my $PATH. =P On a side note, does anyone know how to move the necessary files into a more standard location? (i tried making a link in /usr/local/bin to the binary but it said something about not being able to find some kind of resource when i ran it from there) Or am i just gonna have to use the installer when the next release comes out?

[expert] Opening URL's in Sylpheed
Okay, so i now have the latest version of sylpheed and i want to be able to open URL's in Mozilla 1.0 because manually copying is a PITA. =) Anway i did some research and looked up www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html which says that the command to open up a new URL in a currently open mozilla session is: mozilla -remote "openurl(http://www.whatever.com)" So that's what i put in under Configuration -> Common Preferences.. -> Other -> Web Browser. I also tried entering the url part of "openurl" in lower and upper case. (I replaced the www.whatever.com with %s of course) Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. Is it possible that Sylpheed doesn't support Mozilla 1.0 or am i doing something wrong? KIRT -- Where'd you get your CPU?

Or better yet just open up a new tab.

Re: [expert] convert .ogg => mp3??

If it isn't too big of a deal, i'd suggest you just rip the tracks off the CD again and convert them into mp3's. I'm not really sure why you prefer mp3's over ogg's though. Ogg is a superior format in many ways. KIRT -- Where'd you get your CPU? A box of Crackerjacks!? - Wierd Al Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Mailing List Recommendations
Actually i managed to figure it out. A lot of the problems i'm having right now are simple things that i can (and probably should, for the learning experience) figure out on my own. It's just a matter of picking up those C books and flipping to the "pointers" section. =) Thanks for the offer though.
