How about trying out those spiffy docs in /usr/doc/HOWTO and seeing if you can figure out the problem? -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] Netscape questions
Having installed Mandrake on my system, I have Netscape 4.08. I've also downloaded the US version of 4.51 from Netscape (which, of course, is not in an .rpm file). Is my best bet for upgrading to just remove the existing Netscape RPM and install the downloaded .tar file? BTW, audio is now working--I removed my MaxiSound card and installed an Ensoniq Audio PCI I had laying around. Works great! -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [newbie] Netscape questions
you can get a rpm from contrib.redhat.com or a mirror At this point in time, it's reasonable to believe that if it's metal and runs into your home, you'll be able to connect your computer to the Internet on it.

Re: [newbie] ISDN-Fritz
Hi Arjen, Arjen Huese hat am Son, 04 Apr 1999 geschrieben: I installed my Linux.Mandrake 5.3 this yesterday, and after some minor problems I was able to manage myself, it's running. But I can't figure out how to install my ISDN-card. Normal Modem settings in KDE don't work, and I don't know which port to choose. It's an (ISA) AVM Fritz!Card Classic which should be supported, I found some info at the AVM homepage (www.avm.de) but it doesn't take me any further. Is there anyone who has experience with this? Yes, I am using the same ISDN-Card for two years. First under Windows and now with Linux. You have to compile the Kernel with enabled ISDN-Support with some options and then you have to load the module at bootuptime or later by hand or with an application. I use kISDN, which loads up the right module itself. If you need any help for these Steps, I will help you. Ask me! On Windows it runs under IRQ 10, and I want it to receive faxes in the background under linux (KDE). Under Linux it is impossible, to receive faxes via ISDN. I don't know why, but it is still so. I use an old normal modem to send and receive faxes. Both, ISDN and modem, are running well together with no problem. Any help is highly appreciated, TIA.

Re: [newbie] KDE and Other WinManagers
I got windowmaker to run by running a command called wmaker.inst then startx. Then I can switch back to kde by startx kde In window maker you can switch to Afterstep so I haven't tried to modify the startx to get into afterstep. after loging in as the user you want to use kde, at the prompt type "usekde", that should do it for you.
[newbie] problems with Xfree86 and Riva TNT AGP
I'm having problems trying to setup XFree86 with my RivaTNT board. First of all, I can't find any specific RAMDAC specs for my board other than the 250mhz, and I'm unsure about some of the other video settings. Once I have configured XFree86 with all of the information I'm sure about, or, at least, I think I'm sure about, and I run x windows, it goes into 320x400 mode and won't allow me to swich modes (crt + alt + '+'?). Finaly when I give up trying to do anything in 320x400, I close the program and return to the command prompt and see that when I booted x windows there was an error recognizing the Nvidia TNT PCI chip set. I'm sorry if I haven't been able to provide enough information for anyone to help me, but if anyone has anything helpful or just fun to say, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, kyle

Re: [newbie] Linux Ram limits?
Thanks Steve , The reason i was planning to go with the large ram is mostly for the windows side of the system. There are some tools I use that aren't ported to linux as of yet. i was just concerned that Linux might have a little trouble with it. I will be able to spare room for the swap, but once again I wasn't sure if there were limits to what Linux can see. I've been reading some on vmware, as a option of no longer dual booting. I have found Linux to be more stable, as well as just being fun. I now spend over 95% of my time in linux, I just wish that could be 100%. Like always thanks for your feedback Steven G
