I still have to use Windows, for one because of my ISP's software, but I was in the process of downloading the pre-release of Mandrake 6.0 when I noticed lnx4win. From what I have read, it will put a Linux shortcut on your desktop and you can load it from Windows. What you are describing sounds like LOADLIN. This is a program that'll let you launch linux from Windows without having to use lilo. All you have to do is copy your vmlinuz file to your Windows partition and then create a batch file, telling LOADLIN where to locate the vmlinuz file. You do have to change the settings on the MS-DOS batch file to tell it that you want the system to re-start in MS-DOS mode before running the program. LOADLIN, in my opinion, will launch linux faster than lilo. But it may have been the system I was running it on. Anyway, LOADLIN comes with EVERY distribution of Linux that I've ever seen. Sounds like Mandrake just took out the guesswork by already creating the necessary. Arnold ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
Re: [newbie] mouse problems (hey gurus, need some help!)
Jose, I forgot to mention, that when you change a mouse setting with mouseconfig you need to run Xconfigurator again to get the info into the Xfiles. I found this out when I converted from a serial mouse to a PS/2 mouse on one machine. Brian Jose Alberto Abreu wrote: Brian Erikson translated his thoughts to electrons: Jose, Sorry, but my change to dev/psaux didn't fix the problem. Darn it. This mouse, actually a SCSI Kensington trackball worked before and I don't know what caused it to stop. I was able to get it to 'almost' work by selecting the one Kensington mouse in the mouseconfig list but it still jumps to the left side whenever I move the mouse to the left at all. I haven't given up and will report back when and if I get some better results. Brian mhmmm... My mouse is completely uncontrollable, leaving KDE useless. I have a Genius Netmouse that works fine in windose... I could try to get another mouse, but, considering that there's a "Genius Netmouse" setting in Mouseconfig, I doubt that works... Could it be something more serious, like a bug in KDE or something? My mouse worked fine in RedHat 5.1 with some other window manager. Jose Alberto
