Re: [newbie] Download Mandra 7.0 (Air)
The lovely thing about the ISO image was that I got a self-booting CDROM from it. Entire Linux installed with nothing but one CDROM disk.

[newbie] GCC
I am trying to install a program using a ./configure script and I am getting the
following error.
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create
executables
Is this a problem with my compiler? Which is a version GCC that I downloaded from the
Mandrake 7.0 distribution.
Is it a problem with the ./configure script or the package I downloaded?
Also I am using Mandrake 6.1 so is it possibly an incompatibility between my version
and the GCC I have installed?
I have tried reinstalling the GCC. I have added the dependencies GCC-CPP and GCC-C++.
One problem I did have to begin with was that all the standard libraries could not be
found. Libraries such stdio.h and the like. I found them in the GLIBC library
directory so I copied them all to the /usr/library directory which seemed to fix that
problem.
The package by the way is KMPLOT from the KDE scientific applications directory.
Sorry for the essay.

[newbie] Hello- Installation Question
Hi there. Last night I tried to install Mandrake on a clean hard drive, 13 gigs, I got to select packages, after selecting the packages I wanted to install, I continued the installation process. It seemed to be loading the packages fine, but it was taking forever so I left it to finish the installation of the packages and I figured when I got up this morning I could finish the installation by configuring the rest of L-M. Well, when I got up the machine had frozen, it seems, in the middle of the package installation. It asked for me to press any button to continue, I did,and it rebooted and began the installation process from the beginning again Has this happened to anyone else? And, if so, what did you do to correctly install it?

I haven't yet tried bastille (the hardening scripts for RH 6.0), but I would presume that they are effective. SuSE 6.3 includes several kernel modules, cron scripts, etc. aimed at tightening up security and preventing certain attacks. In addition, harden_suse is a (perl?) script that asks you 9 or 10 questions that will allow you to selectively lock down your box. Luckily it provides a log file and an uninstall script so you can 'undo' this if you got too much security (i.e. not enough usability). Obviously, once you are satisfied w/ your security in this case, you would remove (i.e. archive on a floppy) the logs and uninstall script so as to prevent any tampering, though you have to be root to run them anyway. I sat down and installed Linux-Mandrake 7.0 (Air) last night, and I was fairly impressed w/ the security provisions, at least at first glance. If you do the customized install, you get three security options, i.e. low, medium, and high. High is recommended if you want to use the box for a server. If you do the expert install, you now have 5 choices, ranging from Level 0 (annotated as 'Hello Hackers!' ;) ) to Level 5 (Paranoid). Switching back and forth btwn the main install screen and the syslog screen, I noted a blurb that in level 5, root needed to add specific users to a group ( the exact name escapes me at the moment) so they could even use X. Cool! I took a brief i.e. 5 min tour thru the install and user guide, and there is a section on security, titled MSEC, or something to that effect. In level 5, I believe pretty much everything is closed and the administrator must deliberately open specific ports. Shades of OpenBSD! (Actually, Turbolinux 3.6 was somewhat similar, just not this extreme, in this aspect). Next big suprise was that once you configure your network, you have the option to download and install crypto software, including openssh, openssl, pgp, gnupg, pgpgpg, lynx-ssl, mutt-i, and some (i believe) apache modules. Again, shades of OpenBSD! Sorta like downloading the sslUSA26.tar.gz package during install in OpenBSD. Also, to add the icing to the cake, you can install a hardened kernel w/ several of the known security patches already installed during the initial install. Yahoo! Now before the *bsd fans get out their flamethrowers for my comparing Mandrake to OpenBSD, let me just say that I do not believe for a minute that _any_ linux distro has the benefit of the close attention to detailed security that OpenBSD has benefited from. Linuxes have always focused more on new features and usability. But if Linux-Mandrake 7.0 is a sign of things to come, that may change in the (relatively) near future.

Re: [[newbie] no sndconfig?]
I ended up reinstalling the whole thing (I don't think it was anywhere in my system at the time, because I was doing locate *con* in practically all possible directories). After reinstalling (I chose Custom/Normal this time), sndconfig was there for all the world to see. I'm thinking that maybe I didn't install the package. So when I tried to correct the error by checking for the package in the CD (as ppl in this list suggested), I realised I couldn't access my CDRom (see below), so I had to reinstalled the whole thing. Now, my problem is (I could swear I saw this problem a few days ago, asked by someone else, but I must have deleted it :( ), everytime I try to mount my cd rom, this error comes out: mount /mnt/cdrom hdd: driver not present hdd: driver not present mount: /dev/dcrom is not a valid block device Could anyone help me with this?

[newbie] mdk 7.0 install problems
Yo I'm trying to install 7.0 but after the ramdisk is loaded the system reboots. I've tried harddisk installation, cdrom installation, expert mode and finally text mode. None of them works. I've tried making a boot disk as well but that didn't help either. I've tried fiddling with the config files as well on the boot disk. At first I tried setting ramdisk=0 but that didn't work. Then I erased the whole ramdisk bit and then the installation went better. That time I could see the cross and all, but then it rebooted again. I've got mdk 6.1 installed already and that works fine. I had no problems installing it what so ever. Am I the only one with this problem? /Anders

[newbie] Mandrake 6.0 -- Disk Druid Hang-Up
Disk Druid won't let me install a swap partition (of any size), for no reason that I can figure out. When I try to "Add" the swap partition, I get an error: not enough room on the partition (63 ??). I am installing the swap partitian on a 2nd hard disk (1 GIG; slave) - hdb1 - that has WIN98 on it currently. (I intend to wipe out '98.) Oddly, Disk Druid allows me to install the root partition no problem. I don't want to use the Mandrake included fdisk utility because the hard disk in question is not the master, and the install notes warns against this explicitly. Maybe the o/s managing program (phytechsoft multiple o/s manager) I have installed that is screwing up Disk Druid - but I doubt it.

I know I am missing something but I sure dont know what it is. I have added some stuff to resolv.conf and that is what allowed me to use kwvdial as root.
