Re: [expert] Mozilla 1.1
There are some known bugs in Mozilla right now. I've had the same problem. The only solution is to reinstall Mozilla Main package and mozilla mail. Once you've done this all should be fine... Cheers Jason Marek wrote: Hi When i try to send a message with mozilla mail the whole program crashes and closes. Dont know if this is related but the scroll function stopped working on the mouse as well, logoff and scroll works again for a few hours. Does not effect the scroll on opera or konsole but mozilla and konqueror only. Anyone had this? Both seem to have come about at the same time. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] ML 9.0 final is out?
My advice: Wipe it. I upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0 and then did a wipe and re-install as it fell over in a few spots. Like, it found my sound on reinstall but not in upgrade etc. Cheers, Jason David Guntner wrote: I note on the Mandrake site what appears to be an announcement that 9.0 final has been released and is currently downloadable and preorders are being taken for the boxed set. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if doing an upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0 is a doable thing, or is wipe-and-load-from-scratch the way to go? I tried doing an upgrad from 8.1 to 8.2 that wound up not working quite as well as advertised, and I just wanted to know if I should skip the try to upgrade step and go straight to the clean install after wiping step. :-) Thoughts? --Dave Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] mdk 8.2 and kernel 2.4.19 ?
It is possible (I have done it) but there are a couple of dependencies that must be resolved as well (can't remember those off the top of my head) but other than that, no sweat.

Re: [expert] Mozilla bug?
Dunno, the latest Cooker version (post B4) seems to run fine for me... Cheers, Jason Lorne wrote: is it just me, or is the mozilla in Mandrake 9.0 beta broken? I noticed that it kept disappearing intead of launching. I changed my user id from 501 to 503 and some things naturally broke. I fixed those and when I went to launch it this time, I got an error message. It was missing a default file location apparently. When I went in and created a new user account it now works. I realize this may be apples and oranges on the cause of the original problem. I didn't see any reference in here about anyone else having that trouble. ?

[expert] devMAKEDEV packages
Ok, maybe this is a dumb question but here goes If one is running the dev filesystem is it possible to upgrade these RPM's without using the installer?? I am under the impression that dev gets loaded fairly early on and it becomes a real pain to upgrade these as a result. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I am running ML 9.0 B3 plus Cooker upgrades (minus dev and MAKEDEV =) Cheers, Jason Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] devMAKEDEV packages
Sorry, you're absolutely right, mounted is correct, poor terminology on my part. Yup, was going to wait till the RC as you suggested unless there was an easy peasy way round it but alas there seems not to be. Thanks anyway.

I am under the impression that dev gets loaded fairly early on and it becomes a real pain to upgrade these as a result. More that /dev is mounted rather than that dev is loaded. You can boot with devfs=nomount. That being said there has been a change in the way dev/MAKEDEV install and call since the B3 release which was done to allow for the upgrade of these pkgs Even when /devs is mounted and devfsd is running. Because of this upgrading from the old to the new can be problematic. On 2 of my systems running current cooker the dev MAKEDEV upgrades caused difficulties when rebooting requiring that 'rescue' mode be used and I still had a hell of a time getting the systems back to where they would boot even near normally. My recommendation would be to add dev and MAKEDEV to your skip.list and use the RC installer to upgrade then when it is released the end of this week/first of next week.
