Re: [newbie] Help please Scsi IDE duo
Here is a ghetto way of doing of it, but it will work. Just hookup the SCSI drive while installing the OS and then add the IDE after setting up the machine.

Re: [newbie] X configure help PLEASE
Hi Audrey and Tom, thank you both so much for your support. I havn't much to report yet other than I had a quick look over the suggestions and release notes at the intel site. I ran the rpm files thru the kpackage and played around with the xf86config file. I made a backup copy then rebooted. I couldnt get back in as I obviously did something wrong that the config file didnt like. So I ended up spending most the night trying to get back the backup I made of the config file from a command prompt. Im so used to dos where I could have just deleted the config file I did that was not working and renamed the back up back to the original that was, but I didnt know the commands in linux. but somehow I managed to run xf86config from the prompt and entered new options in text mode. "Phew, I thought I was going to have to reinstall again!" I managed to get back in and now the screen does scroll around. It didnt do that before but I like it. The colour depth and resolution is still wrong so Ive still got to try things again, and probably again one other problem Im having is when I boot up. I have the partition magic boot kick in to select either windows or linux. When I select linux from there I get the lilo prompt which auto continues after 5 seconds. then I get some screen like a cmos info and it automatically brings up a login dialogue box where I can enter user name, password and environment, either kde or gnome etc. BUT sometimes the login stops at the cmos info and gives me a login command prompt. When I enter my username and password I then get a prompt: [root@localhost /root]# what did I do to get this happening and how do I get it back to where it boot up to the login dialogue box with the drop down box to select the environment? regards Gina - Original Message - From: "Audrey Beck" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Gina" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 19 January 2000 12:21: am Subject: Re: [newbie] X configure help PLEASE Gina, Go to the link you supplied in this mail. Go to the part of the page with the rpms and click on the "Release Notes" for either of them (they are the same text for both. Print the page. It has the exact instructions you need to setup everything. You might want to save the big "screen section" (in #6) to a text file on floppy so that you don't have to retype it all, just include it into the file with the editor. You only need the two rpm files you downloaded. It's usually pretty easy to install with rpm files. Be sure to log in as root to a console (terminal) window when you enter commands. If you are using Mandrake 6.1, you have XFree86 3.3.5. You will need to have the compiler, headers, libraries, source etc installed. Enter each of the commands given at the console. In the sections where you have a choice of rpm or tar instructions, use the rpm instructions. The instructions look horrible, but actually aren't too bad. Make sure that you enter the instructions exactly, as Linux is case sensitive. You'll have to rerun the config for X before you start to set it up to VGA16 server. Be sure to make a backup copy of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file before you edit it. In the part where it tells you to keep/remove mode lines, decide which modes are correct for your monitor and video card, and the ones you actually want to use. Then remove the ones you don't want to use, or enter the # sign before the ones you don't want, to comment them out. To make a backup copy, enter: cd /etc/X11 cp XF86Config XF86Config.save I don't know if you have an editor which you like or not. You can try joe or pico (but it will wrap the lines sometimes) or one of the other editors installed. Play with a test file and an editor before you get to the middle of this. Check out the release notes instructions and if you have questions before you start, let me know. If you need help editing the XF86Config file, attach it to email to me and I'll try to help.

Hi all I have just installed mandrake Linux 6.5 First and hardest: Is that Disk Druid has trashed my partition tables (my machine also runs mainly OS/2 warp 4) such that I am unable to run either Partition Magic 3.05 or fdisk from OS/2 although my disks are booting normally I am unable to modify my partitions or my Bootmanager (which looks a bit of a mess) Second: I have 3 IDE buses and 2 Soundblaster soundcards so far I have been completely unable to sort out my isapnp.confg Soundcard 1: Soundblaster AWE32pnp also uses gameport and IDE_2 (numbered 0-2) for auxiliary CD ROM (I don't mind if this has to be disabled) on OS/2 this runs DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\SBAWED2.SYS /C:1 /D:3 /H:5 /I:7 /A:240 /B:24 /M:330 /N:SBAUD1$ /P /G /Q which means:- Card: 1 Lo DMA: 3 Hi DMA: 5 IRQ: 7 I/O address: 240 MIDI I/O: 330 Again it would be nice to use the card as it is good but if I have to disable it, it would be tolerable it is plug-n-pray therefor the parameters my be changed providing no conflicts arise. Soundcard 2: Soundblaster 2 an old 8 bit card set up as standard for DOS games and is set the proper way (with jumpers :-)) DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\SBD2.SYS 2 5 220 8 /N:SBAUD2$ /Q which means:- Card: 2 DMA: 1 (only available) IRQ: 5 I/O address 220 The Game port is disabled If someone can point me to the correct documentation or a good pnp set-up utility I think an acceptable solution should be found.

[newbie] Printing Problems in 6.5
Ok. As I mentioned in my rant yesterday, I have a printing problem. I run on a Compaq Presario 4862. I installed Mandrake 6.5 in a dual boot setup with Win98se. Everything I have tested seems to work with the exception of printing. After installation, I went to Printtool and defined a printer (HP Deskjet 722C before I found out it was was Win printer). I told the program to send out a test page both to the spooler and to the port. I received a message stating that the test page printed. Printer response, nothing. I tried it with a Canon BJC6000 which I found from the printing Howto site is supposed to work. Same response. I don't get any kind of activity from the printer at all. I checked out some books and followed the advice there. I did a dmesg from a console window and found that parport recognized both of my printer ports and even recognized the proper printer attached to LPT1 (P0). I checked the config files that I could find and the proper entries for parport seem to be there. I installed tunelp and tried to assign irq7 to the parallel port. Still nothing happens when I print, not even a blinking printer light. I removed my second port on the off chance that maybe it was causing a conflict. Same result. I completely reinstalled from scratch, thinking that maybe I had screwed up in the install. Same result. Do any of you have any ideas? I am about at my wits end here. If I was at least getting an error message, I might know where to turn, but I am not even getting that! Thanks in advance! Wendell Gragg [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did everything you guys said, now I have "modem busy" with Kppp. When I do a "uname -r", I get "2.2.5-15BOOT" When I do a "uname -m", I get "i686" when I cat /etc/mandrake-release I get "Linux Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios)" I have a Gateway pentium III 450 and windows98 and Linux and 64MB of RAM. and I changed the config.sys so to boot either from linux or windows by using "loadlin vmlinuz..." I will appreciate all help.
[newbie] auto startup
Im stuck on something else now, On startup, how do I get the login dialogue where you get the login name and password and the dropdown box to choose either kde/gnome/firststep etc. I used to get this but I must have changed something where now Im getting a login prompt and after entering username and passwrod it brings up another prompt - [root@localhost /root]# How do I get it back to automatically continue past the login prompt and bring up the dialogue box options intead of the prompt? regards Gina
Re: [newbie] Modem Problems
hey man, I'm having the exact same problem as you. What kind of modem do you have? I have a WINMODEM, and an Internal PCI modem, both of which..Dont work (of course the winmodem wont work, thats why I bought the PCI one). I've been on this list a few days now, and everybody I have asked says to buy an External modem. Preferably U.S. Robotics Hope that helps :) JON *Linux-Mandrake 6.5* Abdoul Da Man wrote: I did everything you guys said, now I have "modem busy" with Kppp. When I do a "uname -r", I get "2.2.5-15BOOT" When I do a "uname -m", I get "i686" when I cat /etc/mandrake-release I get "Linux Mandrake release 6.1 (Helios)" I have a Gateway pentium III 450 and windows98 and Linux and 64MB of RAM. and I changed the config.sys so to boot either from linux or windows by using "loadlin vmlinuz..."

Re: [newbie] auto startup
Sounds like you changed the default run level. Edit /etc/inittab and change the line (x is probably a 3): id:x:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault: Just be careful with that file.

Re: [newbie] Modem Problems
Hi, I just want to say that Winmodem are not supported by Linux and they will NEVER be supported. I read that in a HOWTO about configuring modems in Linux... Whatever, I don't suggest you to buy another modem, choose rather a faster connection. By the way, I'm new here :) Jonathan Jon Schwartze wrote: hey man, I'm having the exact same problem as you.
