Hello:
Mandrake Update is now hanging when it goes to read source datebase for the 
update site. I believe that the ftp source database has become courrupted. 
Where is that database located and what is it called.? I would like to delete 
it and force another reload of it.

How did you (what options did you use) to get this to work in Kmail?

  You're welcome.  And trust me, I don't really 'perl' all that
  well... writing this thing (albeit a while ago when I did more fooling
  around in perl) probably took me 3x as long as any one else relatively
  well-versed in perl.
 
  The end result is that it works well and I know a few dozen people use
  it as I've passed it out to quite a few folks over the last few
  months.  =)

 A slightly modified version of it, but it's perl+kmail all the way.

[expert] USB Scanner Install Help Needed

2001-12-14 Thread Ralph F.De Witt

I have a Epson 640 usb scanner that I need to get installed. I have a open 
Mandrake Expert incident open but the gent who answered did not know anything 
about installing usb scanners and sent me instead a list of scanner sites. 
That was nice if I wanted to see if my scanner was supported, how sane worked 
and how to install it etc. but there was no references as how to install the 
scanner in Mandrake. I have found no references for a Mandrake install in the 
manuals or on line. The SuSE manuals I have show it in great detail but 
Mandrake seems to us a different USB management system.

So can some kind soul point me to the information I need or tell me how to 
get this installed on my Mandrake 8.1 system.

Thanks very much for any help.

Ralph

[expert] Mandrake 8.1 USB Scanner Install Help still needed.

2001-12-14 Thread Ralph F.De Witt

Hi:
I have done a clean install of Mandrake on my machine. An ASUS A7V mobo 
w/Duron chip. For some reason HardDrake does not see the Epson USB scanner 
and will not configure it. I can see it in USBVIEW and it has worked in the 
past. I can find no references to scanner in the Mandrake Books or on the 
site that  gives me a clue as to how to install it. Can some one help?

Ralph
