[expert] Periodic Backup of files to a W2K fat32 partition
Hi All, I am still running a dual boot dual drive MDK9.1/W2K computer. Need the windoze for Net2Phone alone at this stage - not quite true - I also use it for Photoshop 5.5 because my Wine Photoshop 5.5 installation while working does not save! I keep all my important files in a folder called Rob's Stuff on a fat32 partitition [hda5]. I would like to do a weekly automated backup of these files and a couple of others on the W2K side -on hda1 - to hdb1 using the Backup routine in MCC. I have had no trouble setting MMC\Backup up to backup my /home/rob/ to a fat32 partition [hdb1], but don't seem to be able to do it with stuff located on fat32 partitions. Here's my fstab. Is there anything I should change or is there anything else I should have a look at? /dev/hda8 / reiserfs notail 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /mnt/win_d2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /mnt/win_e vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto user,iocharset=iso8859-15,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0 TIA, Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Wanted to try wine
Thanks for the refs to the URLs, Joham. I have nearly got Photoshop 5.5 working - I think! - using the latest SourceForge Wine MDK RPM. Once I'm successful with that I would like to get InDesign 1.5 sorted - the list of working applications suggests that INDD 2.0 does work. There was a great deal of difference between the Wine packaged with MDK9.1 and 20030508 which I have now loaded. Reading the docs. do I need anything else? What about winesetuptk-0.6.1-b.i586.rpm, cvsup-glibc2.3.tar.gz dcom95.exe? My reading would indicate that none of these is necessary.

Re: [expert] Wanted to try wine
What about winesetuptk-0.6.1-b.i586.rpm, cvsup-glibc2.3.tar.gz dcom95.exe? You may or may not make use of them though I would think that winesetuptk and dcom95.exe would be good ideas at a minimum. The former should make setting up wine easier via a tk-based graphical interface (I've used it and like it). The latter will likely provide some windoze 95 functionality that would improve chances of running some apps, particularly in the absense of a windoze installation. The cvsup app would allow for cvs updating. praedor Thanks for the advice. Will follow it after work today. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] Visor Edge and HotSyncing under MDK9.1
If I reboot for any reason I find that my Visor Edge stops HotSyncing under KPilot. The trial and error work around I have come up with this is to SU in a terminal, cd to /dev and rm -r pilot. Everything then starts working again. Can anyone explain what is going on? TIA, Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] Wine-20030115 winedefault.reg
Have got all the required registry directories in my .wine/ except winedefault.reg. Is there a problem with the Wine-20030115 RPM that shipped with MDK9.1? Documentation suggests that you need config, system.reg, userdef.reg, user.reg, wine.userreg and winedefault.reg in the .wine/ file. I have made all the suggested changes to the config file and look near to success. How do I get the winedefault.reg file sorted without going back to source Any help much appreciated.
