RE: [newbie] RE: Source Code
I am going to hazard a couple of guesses here. One is it is more than likely written in C. The second is that the files you want to view follow the standard Unix convention for text files and have only a single linefeed/carriage return (can never remember exactly which one it is, might even be an EOL) and not the carriage return/linefeed combination used in a windows world. -Original Message- From: Jennifer Ricki Wise [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: December 25, 1999 10:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] RE: Source Code I tried to take a look at the source code for Mandrake using the source code cd.

[newbie] probs w/ installation
after mandrake 6.1 installation I have found some annoying probs. firstly, linux only boots up from the disk (rescue disk?) because I put the option "boot from primary partition" or something like that when installing, since my HD is 13.6gb, and yes my /boot partition was on the 6gb and under part. #2 prob. when I start KDE (or xwin , not sure) by typing startx the mouse gets all weird... it transforms itself into a box... if I move it around the screen it comes back to a normal pointer though. #3 prob. I can not read anything on KDE: yes I truly hate this, I can't read anything, there seems to be something covering the words (on everything)- like a black box you see on tv programs that are too graphical. #4 prob. linux tells me that there is some mounting problem when it starts??? #5 prob. the windows 98 icon for drive D changed, which is ok, but programs such as scan disk doesn't recognize it. I really want to run linux... please help me! What should I do!?! I am using the same drivers used in windows 98 for the video card - sis 5597 Rev 65 thanks Ernesto Bartels _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Installation without cdrom player
A few questions: 1. How old is older? Depending on the hardware, it might be easier to use an older version such as the 5 vice 6 series of Red Hat. Also, you need to check how much drive space is needed and if it's available. Best bet is to check out the HOWTO series and the text files with the distribution you have. It'll tell you what is absolutely necessary and what is good to have in the way of hardware, disk space, etc. Given that you've covered those bases you should be okay to continue. 2. If you don't have a CD reader, what is the format of your LINUX installation? If it's floppy, then fine, if you've got a CD then you'll have to get the files onto the correct media first. How did you make the disk you have in the first place? If you downloaded this and it's on a Windows partition, you'll have to ensure that once you've booted to the Linux kernel you can actually get to the files. 3. The bootable disks are normally made as a pair. To boot the kernel you need to make 2 disks. Check out the details of what you're reading and it should walk you through the process. The basics are as follows: (I have to assume you have access to the RAWRITE program.) Go to the DOSUTILS directory / folder and start the program RAWRITE. When prompted for the file enter BOOT.IMG and it'll ask for the location. Enter your floppy drive, probably A:. RAWRITE puts the image onto the disk and sends you back to your DOS prompt. The supplemental disk, the second one, is made in the same way and the image is SUPP.IMG. These two floppies will allow you to boot a basic Linux system completely from floppies and can be helpful in troubleshooting later problems. When you reboot with the boot floppy, you'll get a lot of data scrolling on the screen which is the kernel loading up. You have to take it from there to actually install the files on your hard drives. You need to partition in the correct format and so forth. Hope this helps. B. B.

Re: [newbie] Suggestions
You have encountered the 1024th cylinder boundry. LILO and the initial Linux boot files must reside below the 1024th cylinder (first 7.88GB of the hard disk). The /boot directory contains these files. You should create a small Linux partition (20Mb is plenty) and mount it as /boot. Create that 20Mb partition first so that it resides around the 6Gb mark. Checkout http://www.mandrakeuser.org/install/ipartit.html#Linux for suggestions on the rest of your partitions. To reinstall (completely), just run the same installation process again (just putting the boot.img disk in).

I know that root is simply "/", but what about say... /usr, do I write "/usr" or "/usr/"??? Also can I change the size later - or mount things in different places? and lastly - to reinstall (completely), can I just run the same installation process again (just putting the boot.img disk in)?

[newbie] Root Password Problem
I just started my "experimental" Linux box and discovered that it doesn't like my password. I can go in as my alternate user, and after successfully logging in, type in "su" then the root password and it works just fine. I then changed the root password via passwd logged out and tried again. Still no luck. There was a thread earlier I think about some versions having problems in this area. I'm using Red Hat Linux 6.0, Mandrake 2.2.9-19 mdk, compiled 5/19/99 19:53 GMT. Please tell me this is a problem with my version and to go get something newer. When you do tell me this, (I hope!), where's the best place, (Red Hat Mandrake site?), and which version is stable? By the way, I understand the 2.2.9 but not the -19. What's that for? There's nothing in the HOWTOs I've been able to find on the numbering scheme that far down. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all. Now to put up my home electronic weather station Santa got me..and where was that serial cable? B. B.

[newbie] Printers
I just got a new printer for Christmas. Are there any printers that have been known to cause problems or just not work with Linux? I received a Canon Bubble Jet 1000. Thanks.
