[newbie] key problems with the kde-terminal
Hello, when i use the keys [pos1] and [end] in the terminal-window of kde i only hear a beep. If i try the same in xterm it works fine. The second problem is when i try to edit a bash-script with the midnight commander a error message appears: 'Error in file /home/duplo/.cedit/Syntax on line 40' . PS: Mandrake 6.0, German keyboard.

If they don't work, did you do anything odd to them (disable the serial ports in BIOS or something like that)? LLaP bero

[newbie] Venus 6.0
I have a Cyrix P200 chipped on an ATC-1020+ 430VX motherboard PC with 48M ram. I have recently bought Venus 6.0 and it will not install at all. At some stage before the end of the installation it 'bombs out' with a hex dump to the screen , partially obscured by the installation menu. Festen installed and ran perfectly. I tried upgrading Festen with Venus 6.0 but the same thing happened. Can anyone help please. Regards Bob

[newbie] Bus speed: Dumbdumbdumb question
I have a new motherboard. It asks do I want to set it for "host bus speeds" ranging from 60mhz to 100 mhz. I am going to install a Pentium 233 MMX chip now. In two weeks, I will replace that with an AMD 400 mhz cpu. Now, do I set the bus speed at 60 or 66 mhz for the 233? And don't I set it at 100 mhz for the 400mhz cpu? I checked Intel's web site for the pentium but it offered no advice. thanks much, Steve Winston _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

[newbie] Good modem news.
Looks like the "All PCI modems are winmodems! Does not work in Linux!" line may soon be inaccurate. My, the times, they are a-changin'. 01:37 EST [Dolph] 56K modem handles variety of OS Actiontec Electronics Inc. has announced a 56K PCI controller-based fax/modem that can run on DOS, Windows, UNIX, OS/2, and ***Linux***. The modem can also accomodate both single and multi-processor computers. Because the modem incorporates an on-board controller, the physical modem operation is independent of the host CPU. No processor cycles are spent for communication control, and the modem operation is independent of the choice of the operating system. The new modem supports both the V.90 and K56flex standard, which the modem automatically selects when it connects to an Internet Service Provider. It operates up to 56 kbps, incorporating both MNP5 and V.24bis data compression with MNP2.4, V.42, and LAPM error correction. The Actiontec modem comes with a five year limited warranty and is available to OEMs. Software upgrades and information about the product can be found at, www.actiontec.com. -- -- Kuraiken - Apprentice Codecaster --
Re: [newbie] modem problems.....
Hi, I'm sorry if mine is ot. I need help to solve my problem with my external modem. My External Hayes Accura V.34 + Fax modem can't be detected by LM 6.0. I've tried to set the link manually from /dev/ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2 (one by one each time) to /dev/modem, but it can't work too. I also have tried to use the modemtool comand but still it can't be detected and can't work till now. I tried in minicom to initialize the modem and to dial out but can't work too. I even tried in Linuxconf but the same. The modem works well in Windoze :). Could anybody help me?

[newbie] ftp "login failed"
After specifying a normal user during Mandrake 6 installation, I found that I could not ftp into it, whereas I could get in by telnet. Is this really the default, must one alter /etc/ftpaccess just to get in? I did try the menu interface in KDE, tried to define a class as best I could, but didnt work. I also managed to hang this interface, but dont have a way to reproduce it (will let you know when I do). So, how to let myself in? are there instructions? Niels Larsen, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[newbie] permissions
Hi all, I recently wrote to the list regarding a link on my desktop that had to ceased to function (Netscape). If I log on as root the link works fine. Question: Is there some setting somewhere that I need to change so the link functions correctly for the user? I have been to the Permissions tab in the links Properties and have tried several combinations, none successful. Thanks again! John Knopp [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mandrake 5.3
