Re: [expert] Houston Stands up to M$
Good question! But I don't have any answer about that. Sure that I will try to find out WHY and to ask right people the right question.

[expert] Scripts or software to add many new users
Hello, We are managing hundred of users on a network based on Netscape Exchange Server (mail, news and web). In a few weeks, we would like to change to a linux server (Mandrake of course!) As we don't want to create by hand each existing user, is there a script or a software that will automatically: -create a new account (possibly from a list of existing logins/passwords) -apply the new user to adequate groups -create a file with his login as name -create a virtual host to his file in the apache configuration -apply a DocRoot in proftp configuration -create a user and his database with his login/password in mysql -copy a phpmyadmin with adequate configuration -and few other little things... Any ideas? Thanks Patrick Atlas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] trouble with wireless card
Did you follow Simon's indications? After the hermes.conf file is copied in /etc/pcmcia, try to launch Mandrake Control Center, choose Network and Internet then connexion. Use the assistant to configure the eth0 and choose orinoco (Prism II). I think that will configure the NETGEAR wireless.
