[newbie] printing tiffs
Hi, How do you print tiff files under Linux? I'm running mandrake 5.3 kernel 2.2.9. I have Ghostscript 5.50 installed. When I submit a tiff file for printing, I get an output page with the message: No way to print this type of input file: TIFF image data, little-en Thanks, Hidong

Your /etc/lilo.conf file should currently say something like .. image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-23mdk label=mdk60 root=/dev/hda1 read-only .. Try adding append="mem=128M" somewhere between image=something and read-only, and running /sbin/lilo after that. Then, reboot. It should override the memory detection procedures. If the problem persists even after that, let me know, and also tell me which mainboard you're using and which version of the BIOS. LLaP bero
[newbie] Expert Mouse support?
Is there a driver available to allow use of the extra buttons on a Kensington Expert Mouse?

Are you booting into Linux with LILO? If so, you can add this line into the appropriate boot stanza of /etc/lilo.conf: append = "mem=128M" This will tell your system that you have 128 mb ram. Then run '/sbin/lilo' as root to update this change. Reboot that stanza, and you should be trucking 128 mb. Good luck, Hidong

That needs to be done, but that only turns on packet forwarding. IP Masq'ing needs to be built into the kernel, and ipchains needs to be installed as well.

[newbie] Insmod query
Hi all. I've just managed to get my SBLive card to work using the driver supplied by creative and my new install of Mandrake 6 (kernel 2.2.9). To get it going i had to ignore the instructions from creative and do an 'insmod -f' instead of a 'modprobe'. Okay, it threw up a warning, but the end result works perfectly. Does anyone know how i can force the '-f' on bootup so i don't always have to go to a text terminal as root and insert the module manually before starting X as i do at the moment ?? Martin.

It should just be a matter of turning on IP Masquerading support in Linux, and telling the Windows machine that the Linux machine is the gateway. I believe you can turn on IP Masqing with this command: echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding You should be able to set Windows' gateway in the Network control panel applet.

I think your swap file is too big although I don't know if that affects speed or not. The maximum is 128mb. You can make two swap files, though. With only 64 mb of RAM and a sluggish 233 pentium, Linux Mandrake in my computer whips right along fastfast. Maybe some configuration problem.

I reinstalled Linux-Mandrake and did everything you said below. My computer hasn't hung since! It solved my shutdown/logout problem.
