[expert] problems after upgrade mandrake 9.0 to 9.2?
Hi, all After upgrade to mandrake 9.2,I have several new problems: 1. Since freeswan 2.x not working in my environment, I installed mandrake 9.0 in another partition. Can I use LILO installed in MBR from mandrake 9.2 to boot into mandrake 9.0? I tried to duplicate 9.2 text segment and change device,boot to 9.2 is ok but not 9.0. Is there any working example? 2. I tried to restore a partition image which stored in encrypted loop device. While running partimage 0.6.2 from mandrake 9.2 contrib pacakge, it complain about not support encryption. Why it work under mandrake 9.0? 3. Can I tell mandrake 9.2 which sound driver to use? It prefer i810_audio but I like nvaudio. Everytime I change setting in /etc/modules.conf, mandrake 9.2 change it back next reboot.

[expert] mandrake 9.2 nVIDIA nforce board problme?
Hi, all I just upgrade to mandrake 9.2 and got little audio problem here. I compile and install nforce driver from nVIDIA and modified /etc/modules.conf. First, I removed 'snd-slot-0 i810_audio line' which generated during install and replaced with 'snd-slot-0 nvaudio'. After reboot, mandrake 9.2 restore sound driver to i810audio. How can I let mandrake 9.2 use nvaudio as default audio driver? If I use i810_audio driver, will I lose any great feature from nforce chipset?

[expert] mandrake linux wireless problem?
Hi all, I just installed mandrake 9.2 but a little confused about wireless setting. My AP activated WEP and my notebook running windows xp can connect to AP using WEP key (26 hex digit). When I look at the examples in wireless.opt,they all looks like 13 alphanumeric. Can I use 26 hex digit as WEP key under linux? My current key contains non-alphanumeric characters,besides I believe 26 hex digits is more secure. BTW: How can I do authenticate for wireless? Do I need radius server or something else?

[expert] install from hard disk?
Hi, all It already bothered me for a while since mandrake 9.0 to current 9.2. Usually I mirror a copy of mandrake linux and install from that hard disk partition. I works well and really fast.

How can I verify or setup a source profile, so I can save some bandwidth?

[expert] where are mozilla,xine stuff in mandrake 9.2?
Hi, all I just got a copy of mandrake 9.2 download edition. It's very easy to perform a new install. But I found some of my favorite apps like mozilla,xine,etc in 9.1 are missing after login, are they in default installation of power pack or prosuite? I know package management can add those stuff but I am willing to pay to save some trouble. If this is how mandrake define their product line,I am happy to accept and wish it will bring more incoming for mandrake. It's a good marketing stragety. If not, why they are not in default installation?

[expert] nforce2, I don't know how to use it or a bad choice for linux?
Hi, all My old VIA mainboard was gone weeks ago and I bought a nforce2 board to replace it. I got a lot of situation with this new board: 1. usb mouse won't work during mandrake 9.0 installation event I set it to USB 1.0/1.1 only,but it works ok after new system start up. Is this a hardware or mandrake problem? 2. while review dmesg output,my IDE drive hda doesn't indicate as UDMA100. It does show as UDMA100 in the old board. Should I run hdparm to get better performance? 3. It quit offen that I got heavy disk I/O while using mozilla to surf the net. At this time, I can barely move mouse or do anything else. How can this happen? This is my first terrible experience under linux. Is it possible to tune the system for better performance. 4. Each day I use ntpdate to sync system time with a time server, I got offset > 100s. The value for old system always less than 5s. Is it possible caused by point 3? I have to say that this board works much better under windows than linux. Do you have recommendation for AMD boards which has best performance under linux? VIA? SIS?
