Re: [newbie] Fresh installation
Use the cdrom from the PowerPack set of 6.0. I had some problems with install, the system crashed once up and I think it was the kernel. I copied the rpms to my win98 partition and included the downloaded updates in the rpm directory. It installed perfectly fine. Now it works great. Nice product. _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Printer & sound prob.
There are files in /usr/src/linux-x.x.x/Documentation/sound which show the correct modules and config files to load and make for sound. I think the sndconfig is a bit behind the curve with all the OS changes in the newer kernels. Take a look at the FAQ at Linux-Mandrake .com for info about the printer. The newer printer module should be downloaded and used. Unfortunately there is a small faux pas in the newer printer module as well, in the packaging, so use rpm --nodeps -ivh to get it to install without a spurious error message.

I just installed Netscape 4.61 via the Mandrake desktop upgrade feature. It seems fine, and it is faster than its predecessor.

[newbie] Get out of AfterStep, back to KDE
Hi, Can somebody tell me how I can once again use KDE when in AfterStep. I managed to change the interface X uses, but now I'm stuck and I don't seem to be able to find a way back to KDE. I want to go back as I already got used to the interface of KDE and it has a few programs like kvirc and kpackagemanager I like better. The packagemanager under AfterStep bluntly tells me it cannot edit the rpm database, instead of prompting for the root password. Many thanks, Jo
RE: [newbie] speed problems...
It's not an upgrade but a downgrade. Netscape 4.61 is VERY buggy, I personally prefer the browser that KDE comes with, the one that's integrated with KFS (file explorer).

Re: [newbie] speed problems...
There are many reasons this speed difference could be occurring. For example, in network ppp setup, you might try playing with the MTU/MRU parameters. For me, the best value seems to be 1064, but your mileage may vary. Netscape for linux version 4.6 has some real problems. Follow the instructions at linux-mandrake.com to downgrade to 4.51 or try using kfm to do your browsing. Not only is it fast, but you can drag files from a remote window to a local window in a "copy" operation instead of trying "shift-click". My only use of netscape is for email since I receive a lot of HTML mail. Also, using kfm, you will discover what sites have been done with poorly-designed Microsoft editors. You'll be able to take snapshots of broken graphics and cryptic Microsoft access error messages and send them to webmasters and give them the URL to Tucows and the reference to the wonderful "Demoroniser" program. (Ah well, it passes time). As for splitting, Linux does in fact split. try several ftp windows or different http windows, not using Netscape 4.6. Now if you want netscape to be a better netscape, surf on over to www.mozilla.org and look at snapshots, and comment on your experience with them, back to the folks at mozilla.org. There is amusement as well as frustration with being on the bleeding edge. BTW I think they're working on the opensource clone to Netscape 5.0 now.

This happens to me also. I think a large part of NS stalling tho is that NS for Linux seems really crappy to begin with. I'm experiencing tons (beyond the normal amount in Windows) of parsing errors and "blank pages". It's also AWFULLY slow.

I of course have /etc/wine.conf, but I needed the example to get me over the rough spots. Right now, win95 is on one hard drive whilst Linux Mandrake is on the other.

[newbie] WINE for Steve
Here is a sample wine.conf
Please note that you MUST have a partition for dos files. THis is likely to
have been done in a custom installation, but you may have to do it yourself for
other types of installations, even if they are dual-boot.
The method is to use fstool if you have it or to use kedit as superuser (risky)
to add 1 line to /etc/fstab The format of the line is sketched in the config
file below:
;;
;; MS-DOS drives configuration
;;
;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; Path=xxx (Unix path for drive root)
;; Type=xxx (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; Label=xxx (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; Serial=xxx (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; Filesystem=xxx (supported types are 'msdos','win95','unix')
;; Device=/dev/xx (only if you want to allow raw device access)
;;
[Drive A]
Path=/mnt/floppy
Type=floppy
Label=Floppy
Serial=87654321
Device=/dev/fd0
;;
;; Here I have a Windows FAT32 partition as the first one on the first drive
;; So my response is /dos. Why dos? Well, in my /etc/fstab I have the line
;; /dev/hda1 /dosmsdos defaults
;; so /dos is mounted to Linux and is in fact the Windows C:\ drive
;;
;; Your mileage may vary dependiing on configurastion
;;
[Drive C]
Path=/dos
Type=hd
Label=MS-DOS
Filesystem=msdos
[Drive D]
Path=/mnt/cdrom
Type=cdrom
Label=CD-Rom
[Drive E]
Path=/tmp

[newbie] Maggelan
Hi, First of all, sorry for cross-posting to expert & newbie. On ftp.kde.org in the 'demos' directory, there are screenshots of a mail/news reader called 'magellan' for KDE. Does anyone know where to find it, or will we have to wait for KDE 2 (any news on that one btw?). This packages seems just the thing I'm looking for, combining news and mail in one user-friendly piece of software. Patrick

File/Settings/Network tab/Incoming mail click on an account, click the modify button, and click the box marked Enable Interval mail checking. Now, as to how to change the time between checks - that's probably in a .kmailrc file somewhere. Irv _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Problem solved. I have reinstalled with "Check for Bad Blocks" so now everything is fine. Thanks everybody and especially Civileme!

Re: [newbie] WINE

Re: [newbie] WINE
Here : Not sure what that last bit means- I didn't think there was a working driver for reading ext2fs drives from windows, or that you could install Linux on a FAT partition (apart from a UMSDOS install). I can tell you that by the default install of Mandrake, the floppy path is /mnt/floppy and CD-ROM is /mnt/cdrom. Other than that, it depends on where you have your Windows partition(s) mounted. If you have only one drive in Windows, you can comment out the D: drive part in wine.conf. Then, you'll need to mount your C: drive. Wherever you mount it, that's what you'll put in WINE's config file. I can't tell you too much more, as I've only used WINE once or twice before, and am not sitting at my computer right now. I'm sure, though, that if you poke around the Internet long enough, you'll be able to find anything you might need to know about WINE. Some experimentation can work wonders, too, if you're not sure about something. And the great part about Linux is, unless you're working as root (which you should not be) you can't hose your entire system if something goes really wrong(like what happens in Windows)- just that one user, at the worst! Have fun, and good luck. (Originally from) -Matt Stegman >I've tried WINE again and again with no luck.Can anyone send me a >sample script using Mandrake's version of WINE.
