Some packages like telnet(client) is included in pine rpm. Looks like nslookup is going to be remove from next version of MDK, seems like ppl are abusing it :P However, MDK message recommend us to use host or dip as subs, which are pretty handy too. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
Re: [expert] Using iso image for 8.0
iso image is just a lump sum file for all those small files. you need to select "create CD from iso image" for what ever CDR program you got. >From: Patrick Shirkey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [expert] Using iso image for 8.0 >Date: Wed, 02 May 2001 13:19:05 -0400 > >Hi. > > Can someone tell me how to get the iso image to work? > > I have downloaded it and then wrote it to a cd but I can't get it to >work. > > Is there supposed to be some kind of formatting to the iso image that I >am supposed to do before burning the cd? > > At the moment I have a cd with: > > mandrake80-inst.iso > readme.txt > md5sums > > I get the impression that the mandrake80-inst.iso image supposed to be >opened up before I burn it?

Re: [expert] 8.0: cannot boot into Linux after the install
Seems like you are using an old BX chipset motherboard too. Wonder if it is a Asus motherboard. My P2B-S had a simliar symptom too. 7.2 worked fine, upgrading to 8.0 was fine. But fully reinstall, tons of problems. First 8.0 CD-Rom could not boot at all. Second 8.0 Floppy could boot, but hang up after the first linux installation page(the one with the blue loading bar). > >I have tried three times to install 8.0 on a box that previously ran >7.2.

Re: [expert] known issues with the quantum fireball plus LM 30 udma 66 drive and linux?
I dont know if BE6 has the same problem or not. For KT7A-RAID PCI Slot 1, shares the same IRQ with APG, manuel recommend dont use it if AGP Slot is used. PCI Slot 5 has an issue too. So I left that slot alone too. ATA 100 mode should has no sever problem with Linux. Running Hot Rod Pro 100, with a single 30G ATA-100 harddisk, on BX chipset. Dont know if mix mode on the same ATA-100 bus and on the same cable has an issue or not. >Hello there! > >I was wondering if there are known issues with the quantum fireball plus LM >30 udma 66 drive and linux? > >my system: > >abit be6-2 motherboard ( w/ hpt366 ) upgraded to latest available bios >pentium 2 400 >128 mb pc100 ram >matrox g400 dual, 32 m AGP > >PCI 1( first pci slot, not second ) -- promise udma 100 controller >PCI 4 ( soundblaster live value ) >pci 5 dlink 538TX NIC > >disks > >Ide0 m: 20gig quantum ( ata 33 ) > side zip atapi > >Ide1 m: plextor 8x4x32 cdrw > s: pioneer dvd > >promise udma ide 2: quantum fireball + LM 30 ( master ) udma 66 > udma ide 3maxtor 20 gig udma 100 > > > > >I have been trying to install Mandrake Linux 8 on a abit be6-2 motherboard >with the hpt 366 controller. >But it crashes during boot . . . as soon as the udma drives are detected >the kernel hangs . ..

[expert] Vnc- Server
Hi, Any good links or URL, for setting vnc-server? Now I only got a Xterm(not the fancy one), and with client mouse "left click", it will show mandrake program menu and some other stuff.(the program menu is with blue background) Trying to set it up with MDK 8.0 Xdesktop fully loaded on the client side. _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
[expert] IDE RAID
Looking for some guidelines in how to set Mandrake 8 with IDE RAID Hardware raid card or on board setting with Raid 0+1 Under partition, I got into trouble:P The scheme is creating another intengible drive under another tag named MD? And then add those drives to MD? Is that all file system can be mount under Raid partition? However, I see 2 Linux Raid File System under the dropdown list for partition type. Which 1 should I pick? Isnt that I only need to set up the Raid 0 part under partition. The Raid 1 part, will be hardware automation mirrioring?
