Re: [newbie] smp questions
I would also add to the other coments here that cheap is not good. I have a friend here who swears by the prices of PCChips boards, and then swears at them when he comes to set them up!!! My personal recommendation is ABIT, they work very well, and don't use jumpers. The setup is virtually automatic, so is very easy. And they usually support AGP, PCI, and ISA, although newer boards have less ISA slots than most people would like. Oh, and they are an overclockers dream, as you can tweak speeds and voltage settings through the GUI. It only takes a quick reset on the motherboard if you totally screw things up. And they are only usually 10-20 pounds dearer than the cheaper ones. I believe the processors can be different speeds, but the faster one will be brought down to the speed of the slower one, so it's a bit pointless. I can't recommend any prices matching places, as I've always found something that is apparently cheap, gone to one of the supposedly more expensive websites, and found they've matched the price with free delivery! There's no better way than actually doing the legwork and checking out what they have directly. - Original Message - From: pete moss [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 4:07 AM Subject: [newbie] smp questions i have in mind doing some system hardware upgrades, one of the things that i am thinking about upgrading is my processor. i currently have a PII 350. my motherboard can support up to a 450. i am also considering getting a smp motherboard and a second chip. is there a good cheap motherboard that supports this, as well as agp, isa, and pci? do the two processors need to be the same speed? also, is there a better place to compare prices than cnet.com? tia :P
Re: [newbie] Uninstalling Linux
Been there, done that!! I had fun with this after a crashed install, because I couldn't remove the partition, and couldn't get back in to use Linux fdisk!! I didn't have a rescue disk either. Fdisk on Windows can see the Linux extended partition, as an extended partition seems to be the same under any OS, but it couldn't see the ext2 partitions inside the extended partition, so couldn't delete them, and generated the error messages you're seeing. The thing I did have was Partition Magic on Windows. Although it didn't know what the partitions were, it did delete them pretty thoroughly. If you haven't got Partition Magic, see if you can get hold of an evaluation copy for a short time. Of course, you could always go the drastic route and low level format your drive. Go on, live dangerously!! - Original Message - From: Lionel Barrow [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 2:26 AM Subject: [newbie] Uninstalling Linux Hey guys, my question is: how exactly do you uninstall Red Hat 6.1.

RE: [newbie] Install problem: it won't see my partitions
I had a similar problem when I 1st installed Linux on a disk with windoze98 already on it. I used Partition Magic to shrink the Windoze partition, then FDISK to make sure nothing Dos'y was in the free space and then installed Linux with the LILO boot loader. All went well. I didn't build any Linux partitions on the free area with partition magic, I let the Mandrake install look after that by itself. Maybe this would be a solution to your problem.

I just bought a new computer with a Quantum Fireball 20.4 GB hard drive. The included special version of Partition Magic in the 6.5 version of the Mandrake-Linux seems to work fine; it builds a Linux partition and swap partition on the tail end of my hard drive. They are primary partitions and the main Linux partition is 3 GB in size. I intend to keep most of the drive dedicated to the Microsux OS until I get a better idea of whether Linux will meet my needs. When the install program starts up, it gets to the part where it has me choose Disk Drake or fdisk. When I choose either, it comes back with an error saying it can't find any valid partitions on which to install Linux. Someone told me it was because my hard drive was too big and that the Linux partition (or a boot partition for Linux) needs to be below some address. I don't really want to split up my Windows partition into two separate small paritions with a Linux partition in the middle, and in any case, I see no way to make Partition Magic put it somewhere other than the default place it chose (the end of the disk).

RE: [newbie] emu10k1
3) "know if my kernel is compiled with version information?" This one I'm not sure about as far as Linux Mandrake goes, but usually the kernel is compiled with version information turned on. It refers to the modules being marked with what version of the kernel source they were compiled from. I am assuming you have the version of emu10k1 which you have to compile yourself (the latest). I found that with 2.2.13-7mdk kernel, after i compiled it, it wouldn't load because of multiple 'unreferenced symbols' or some such. I don't know if this was the correct way to do this or not, but in the 'Makefile' there were three lines right at the beggining which specified compile options. One of them related to whether to compile for use with a kernel compiled with version information or not. I changed this from the default of 'No' to 'Yes', recompiled and away we went !! As i say, don't know if this was correct or not, but it worked fine for me! Martin.

List, Today, I spent some more time trying to solve my problem(s), to no avail. Maybe I'm missing something, but that's the reason I subscribed to a newbie list. Apparently, many of you have had various config problems to varying degrees, so I can only hope that someone on this list has had a similar problem, specifically only being able to initiate a modem connection when logged on as "root". It's gotta be something simple, I know, but I'm not sure where to begin. Thank-you all. Please don't flame me for using Mindspring, as it has been a very fast and reliable connection.

[newbie] Good (Linux) Mailreaders for Mailing lists?
"Peter" == Peter Heckert [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [snip] Peter I have problems with threading. Mails made with Netscape Peter and Kmail are threaded fine. Other Mails created by Emacs Peter or Outlook are not threaded correctly. [snip] This may be a result of how mails are created by emacs or Outlook, or a result of how Netscape determines the parent-child message relationship. or both. This is of interest to me because I use xemacs with VM as my mail reader. I specifically chose these two since it was the only combination I discovered which explicitly stated that the References: header was examined to thread messages. Other programs were silent on how threading was implemented or vague or used an unacceptable (to me) method. In what way are mails you receive from emacs users "not threaded correctly"? Are the emacs users also using VM, or do they use exmh or something else? Quoting from the VM User's Manual: "Message relationships are discovered by examining References, In-Reply-To, and Subject headers. The first two headers are more reliable sources of information but not all mailers provide them." (http://www.wonderworks.com/vm/user-manual/vm_12.html#SEC23) For a brief description of how VM threads, see http://www.gnac.com/~hogan/vm/files/rigorous-threads.patch where an email from Bob Glickstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] appears, with his rigorous threads patch to vm-folder.el.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 6.1,keyboard and mouse problem.
I have been able to disable, gpm. This does fix part of my problem. However the keyboard and mouse does become unresponsive when i launch X. I have a S3 Trio 64 video card, running on a P166 with 64MB memory. I used to run Freebsd and Turbolinux on this PC before without any problems. Any suggestions ? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Warren Doney Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 1999 9:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Mandrake 6.1,keyboard and mouse problem. We need to know the make model of your video card/chip, did you select it from the list during install ? -Warren - Original Message - From: Will Downs [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 5:20 PM Subject: [newbie] Mandrake 6.1,keyboard and mouse problem. I hope some one can help me, thanks in advance.. I just finished installing Version 6.1. during the installation, when I was trying to configure X. I couldn't do any thing at the test window, my mouse and keyboard where unresponsive... I couldn't type or move my mouse. I had to wait for the timeout to expire. I then skip this portion of the install to get the system up... On reboot, my mouse and keyboard are unresponsive althought the kernel does recognized my PS/2 mouse. My keyboard is responsive until the login prompt. I unplugged my PS/2 mouse from the system then rebooted. I was then able to login and browse the system, but X (KDM) still didn't start. I ran Xconfigurator, without the mouse connected to my system. I still had to wait for the timeout to expire. X still didn't work. I remember with a different version of linux I ran before, gpm didn't like my system, could this be the problem ? Any suggestions ?

Re: [newbie] bounced emails

Then I noticed that I too have been getting bounced emails from mindspring. Can you give me a brief rundown of the problem here? I think I'll play along and forward these things to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it really is their problem. Thnkas :) In going thru my E-mail just now, first I found a returned (bounced) message on an E-mail I had sent to the newbie list, then I found the E-mail posted to the list. Strange. There's a problem somewhere. stan.
[newbie] strange bug on system login
i noticed today that when i login through mingetty, when i give my password, if i type extra letters after my password, then it still lets me in. is this supposed to happen? for instance, if my pass is 'asdfqwer' and i type 'asdfqwertyuiop', then it still lets me in. the first part has to be the right password but after that it doesnt matter. :P
