[newbie] upgrade kde?
I'm just started to learn linux by installing (after redhat 5.2) a mandrake 5.3 taken from a cd bundled with a magazine. It is well working, and literally I enjoy linux/mandrake. But I saw the cd installed "kde 1.1-0.1 alpha 1rh5x", which is rather old, I think. So,I downloaded both "kde-installer-1.1-5rh5x.i386.rpm" and "kde-1.1-rh5x-i386-rpms-complete-set.tar" ( a BIG army of bytes to download!). Reading "notes on the kde-1.1 rpm packages for red hat linux", I saw the upgrading is not a trivial task, there are some others actions (as I understood) to do before and after doing the "install-kde-1.1", and I doubt I'm able to carry out all the operations risklessly... So, now I'm waiting in front to the keyboard ready to start the install/upgrade only if someone could tell me: "yes Massimo, do it, it is only needed to run the "install-kde.1.1" script and you are on the fly".

[newbie] KDE Problem
Hi everybody. I tried to submit this problem twice but it doesn't seem to be getting up to the list. I am really stuck on this one. I installed the Linux-Mandrake 5.3 package on one of my computers yesterday and all seemed to be going well until I started KDE. First, I got an Error message that said: _ | KFM Error | | | | Could not create | |~/.kde/share/apps/kfm/magic | |_| I clicked past this message and got the KDE desktop, but I can't launch any applications and none of the buttons work. The only thing that I could do within KDE was shut down and get out. If anyone has a clue as to why this happened and how it can be fixed, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Jim
[newbie] Linux is Wonderful
I've been using linux for a few days now and starting to know my way round. A handy trick someone show me was when you type a command line and don't know all of it type the first letter, then the "TAB" key... it brings up a list of possible commands with that letter. I used Sndconfig to get my sound card going. But how do I get my Network card going. Under that old inferior operating system that I used to use (win95- I think they called it) It is an ISA NE2000 compatible card it used I/O 0340 - 035F IRQ 10. Where do I find these configeration settings so I can get it to work? At present I'm still using Win95 to get on the net but hopefully I'll be able to do away from this soon and use my Linux box to do the job. Thanks for you help[ guys and girls.

Re: [newbie] alt.os.linux.mandrake - wow! ;-)
Tom, I tried earlier today to post an approval at dejanews. Never could get it to work! I just used the link to news:alt.config and found the proposal and posted a reply to the one dissenting vote I saw. Well, it's just like Michael said earlier, there's one in every crowd! I really would prefer the newsgroup. You had a wonderful idea, and I hope it happens!

Well, I just checked alt.config. I am really impressed ;-). Everyone who haven't already posted a approving reply to my proposal of "alt.os.linux.mandrake" in news:alt.config is still invited to do so. tom -- "The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum."

[newbie] XServer for 3dfx chipset?
How to run Linux Mandrake's XServer (XFree86) with 3dfx Banshee Graphics Card?
Re: [newbie] XServer for 3dfx chipset?
Hi Agi, Well, there is. You can setup a late version of the Linux kernel (anything newer than 2.1.119 should do) with vesafb and use the XF86_FBDev server with it. Anthony D'Amico has a nice introduction how to do this at http://www.uno.edu/~adamico/banshee/, where he describes how to get the Banshee to work. Note that the section there about installing the XF68_FBDev X server can be omitted. Instead use the XF86_FBDev that is provided as part of XFree86 3.3.3.1. This works in a very similar way for other VBE-2.0 compliant cards as well. Hope this helps - it worked like a charm for me... as I am running KDE @ 800x600x32bpp with no problems.

Re: [newbie] KDE
I had similar problems, for the KDE I had to choose only 1024*768 and 24bpp color for my xfree86 settings. It seems GIMP may not work with less that 16bpp color, when I tried it at any less, I had the symptoms you describe. Hope this helps.
