I wish to update to kernel 2.2.1 from 2.0.36 which was added when I installed Mandrake v5.2, now my question, is there a file countering my current config, that I can load from the GUI screen created when I run "make xconfig", as nothing has changed on my system, and am happy with the kernel, with the current modules. The kernel configuration is kept in .config file in /usr/src/linux directory, but configuration for 2.2.1 has many diffs from 2.0.36, so I suggest you to do it by hand. -- Fabio Coattihttp://felix.unife.it/~cova Ferrara Linux Users Group http://flug.unife.it GnuPG fp:6AB9 277E 9AA7 9D20 E82C 9EE7 2D17 E351 3DCB 0CDC Old SysOps never die... they simply forget their password.

An lo and behold a new "modprobe -l" shows a whole lot of modules loaded. And, to top it off, X runs now. Finally, my question is this. Do I have to modify some startup parameters to activate modprobe so I don't have to do this by hand? What's the deal? Thanks! Kernels 2.2.x uses kmod to load modules, kerneld is no longer used. So you can remove kerneld from init scripts. depmod -a is required only once when new modules are recompiled, but is a good thing to put it in a script executed (early) at startup. modprobe relies on dependecies fixed by depmod. -- Fabio Coattihttp://felix.unife.it/~cova Ferrara Linux Users Group http://flug.unife.it GnuPG fp:6AB9 277E 9AA7 9D20 E82C 9EE7 2D17 E351 3DCB 0CDC Old SysOps never die... they simply forget their password.

[newbie] Ethernet Card Blues...
Hey everybody, I'm trying aimlessly to get my NIC working in my linux box. I have Linux Mandrake 5.3 installed with a 3com Fast Etherlink XL (3c905) card installed. I dled the c source code to the drivers and when I try to compile, it shows me the errors that it got when it tried to compile, but it doesn't compile the file. I don't know how to fix this problem because the site says these should compile fine and dandy. I don't know where to go from here, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, and continue working with the best OS, LINUX! - Signed, Bob 'Reveral' Bonifield [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fraggin' in the Heartland http://lan.quakecity.net/

RE: [newbie] Zip drive icon
Bob, Just a quick question. I am new to Unix/Linux so I have some questions. I lookes at your fstab file and saw that the last two columns contain either 0 0, 1 1, 1 2, or user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto,sync 0 0. I think "user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto,sync" is the permissions set on this device, however what do the 00, 11, or 12 mean.

[newbie] KDE Help!
Hey all. I have 3 small questions concerning Linux. Linux has been running fine, untill recently. I'm using the mandrake distribution with KDE desktop environment. Now everytime K starts, i get the error: Could not find mime type application /x-tbz in /opt/kde/share/applink/Utilities/kzip.kdelnk What does this error mean?, and how do I correct it? Also, I downloaded a Super Nintendo Emulator, snes9x, for linux, and I can run the program perfectly fine from the terminal in KDE. But if I make a shortcut, or link to it on my "start bar", (sorry for the WIN98 reference :-), the emulator runs, but everything plays very slow, and choppy. Why is this?, and how do I make the shortcut to it, without slowing down performance? Also, (this questions simple), how do I enable a joystick or gamepad in Linux, and does Linux support digital JS's or gamepads, such as the sadewinder gamepad, or just analog? Please! Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks again!
Re: [newbie] Zip drive icon
Thanks Bob, I now understand the fstab but the .kdelnk is a little strange to me. Thanks again. Maybe in Mandrake 5.4 it will be there from the start.

In the first installation all worked properly and fine. Is it possible that between several installation Mandrake change its stability?

I'd like to avoid Win95 completly, but i'd also want Mandrake worked fine. Thank you, Angelo Chillemi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
