[newbie] How to mount floppy or CDR on Laptop ??
I just installed Mandrake 7.0 on my laptop where I can have either a floppy drive or a CD-ROM drive. The install went on OK (it was an update from 6.1) but I discovered the following problem: apparently both the CD-ROM and the floppy are "automounted" in the fstab file: this creates no problem when logging in but freeze the system when loggin out (apparently it tries to umount a device which is not mounted e.g. the floppy when the CD-Rom is inserted). I must then switch the power of and I have to through a full scan at the next log sequence. Any idea on how to fix this problem ??? Could the log procedure auto-detect the mounted device ? Is it possible to swap the drive without login out ? Thanks for your help Jacques

[newbie] A couple suggestions for the DrakX installer
I like the new installation, it's nice and easy (not that the text-based installation was difficult), but I have a bit of a problem with choosing packages in Expert mode. A lot of times when I click on a + symbol to expand a category of packages, the expanded stuff isn't visible. I have to scroll down until it's off screen, then back up, to make it visible. Very annoying as I have to do this dozens of times by the time I'm done with all the categories. Of course, my real problem is that I never actually can get done with all the categories. After expanding/collapsing categories and choosing packages for 15 minutes, and not even being a third of the way through, I gave up and went back to use Custom instead of Expert. Choosing packages in that format just takes WAY too long. Also on a couple of occasions, after finishing choosing all the packages I wanted in all of the subcategories of a large category, I accidentally clicked on the name of the category instead of the symbol to collapse it. This caused ALL packages in the category to be chosen, so I had to go through and pick the packages I wanted in that category all over again. VERY frustrating. Could we have an optional package listing that just shows all of the packages in alphabetical order, instead of categorized? That way you just have one list to go through, and no categories to expand/collapse. It would be much faster, especially to those who already know what they want. In addition, it would be really nice if we could put a list of all the packages we want into a text file, put the text file on the boot disk (is there room for that?) or somewhere else where it could be read during install, and have the installer optionally use that file to automatically select/deselect packages depending on what's present in the file. That would be especially useful if you already have the selection of packages you want installed, and you want to reinstall for some reason (or do the same install on another computer). You could just do an rpm -qa packagelist or whatever to get the list of packages for the installer. -Tom
[newbie] A couple problems in Mandrake 7.0
Okay, I'm having a couple odd minor problems with Pine, and a bigger problem with procmail and/or postfix. When running Pine in a terminal, I cannot highlight text with the mouse. I have this problem no matter which term I use (xterm, rxvt, konsole, etc.). This is a problem since sometimes I need to copy text from an E-mail and paste it in a different program. Also for some reason the text color in Pine isn't consistent. I run my xterms with a black background and gray text (I like it to look as much like the console as possible), but when I run Pine in xterm it switches to bright white text, and in rxvt it uses an ugly yellow-grayish color that I can't describe very well. More importantly, my procmail filters aren't working. All my mail just disappears (good thing I tested with fetchmail -k first!). :( This is odd because I actually got two different results in two different installs: In the first install, I chose (using Custom option) an install size of 850MB. Several typical packages weren't install--it didn't install Pine, fetchmail, or either MTA. That was fine, I installed Pine, fetchmail, and postfix on my own. I WAS able to receive mail, and it filtered fine. (I also kept my home directory from M6.1, BTW.) However, I could not SEND mail with postfix for some reason. In the second install, I chose a much larger install size, and I also first renamed my home directory so I could start over with a fresh one and move over old config files to the new one as needed (I like to do this sometime to purge my home dir of config files for programs I don't use and make sure I'm receiving any new changes to standard config files like .bashrc etc.) I noticed postfix was installed instead of sendmail, which surprised me a bit but was fine with me since it kept me from having to switch. I can also send mail with postfix now. ...But now my procmail filters aren't working and my mail just gets trashed if I dare trying to receive it with fetchmail. I have fetchmail, postfix, and procmail installed, I moved over my .procmailrc to my new home directory and made sure it was set world-readable. What could I be missing? Any help would be appreciated, I can't stand kmail anymore. :) Tom

[newbie] 7.0 howto's?
Does anyone care to enlighten me where the HOWTO's in Mandrake 7.0 are hidden? So far I haven't even been able to find them on the CD that I burned from an *.iso file. Thanks for your time
Re: [newbie] Please Help! Unable to mount Yamaha CRW4416E (read only!) in Mandrake 7.0
I had a similar problem. First make sure you can mount the CD-RW manually. I
think the installer is smart enough to determine the drive is CD-RW, so it
sets up the SCSI emulation for you. It just doesn't change fstab to reflect
this. Try (assuming you want to mount it on /mnt/cdrom2):
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2
You may have unmount /mnt/cdrom2 first. If this works, change the following
line (again assuming fstab is trying to mount your CD-RW on
/mnt/cdrom2/):
mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
to:
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0
You are changing the "dev=" portion to point at "/dev/scd0".
Hope this helps.

[newbie] Sorry, here is another MODEM question.
Hi, I installed Mandrake 6.1 about 2 weeks ago. Now, almost everything is working fine except internet access. From my reading of this mailing list, I suspect my internal modem (PCI) won't work under Linux. But, before go for shopping alternative (ISO) modem, I would like to double check with people if my PCI modem is indeed hardware based and can work under Linux. A faint chance!? Anyway, here's a bit of info. My computer is Compaq Presario 5838 (AMD/Athlon500MHz) with Conexant HCF V90 56K Data Fax PCI internal modem. On Windows, it is said to connected to Port COM1 at address and set to use FIFO buffers (requires 16550 compatible UART) and RTS/CTS flow control by hardware. Now, on Linux, I set modem device to /dev/ttyS0. The 'setserial -G /dev/ttyS0' command prints out "/dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x03f8 irq 4 spd_normal skip_test". With this settings, kppp does not work after the status changes from "modem ready" to "initializing modem...". This is ehrn I turn off flow control settings. If I select CRTSCTS, then the kppp connect attempt returs "modem does not respond" immediately. (In either cases, even if I set the modem volume to maximum, I do not hear any dialing noise.) I wonder if I miss any other set ups. Or, simply HCF V90 56k DataFax PCI modem is not usable on Linux. I appreciate any input/help. Hitoshi __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Re: [newbie] Please Help! Unable to mount Yamaha CRW4416E (readonly!) in Mandrake 7.0
Thanks Richard, I seem to have solved my problem a little while ago,
and here's how I did it:
1) I edited the /etc/conf.modules file and took out the 2 lines
dealing with SCSI emulation:
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
...
post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter
...
2) I then edited my /etc/lilo.conf file and took out the line that
also dealt with SCSI emulation:
...
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda11
append="hdc=ide-scsi"-- Took this line out!
read-only
3) I ran lilo -v (as root) to update the boot record
4) When I rebooted, some auto-hardware detection program complained
about me disabling the Yamaha CR4416E, so I chose to have it keep
the existing configuration, but not warn me in the future about it
being disabled (or something to that effect!)
Now I am able to mount either of my CDROM drives at will from the KDE
Desktop!
What still bothers me, however, is that I am now getting those pesky
messages that I got in RedHAt 6.1 in the /var/log/messages file:

Anybody got any clues on what's going on wrong here? Is this drive still too new
for Linux drivers to have caught up?
Thanks,

Richard Yevchak wrote:
I had a similar problem. First make sure you can mount the CD-RW manually. I
think the installer is smart enough to determine the drive is CD-RW, so it
sets up the SCSI emulation for you. It just doesn't change fstab to reflect
this. Try (assuming you want to mount it on /mnt/cdrom2):
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2
You may have unmount /mnt/cdrom2 first. If this works, change the following
line (again assuming fstab is trying to mount your CD-RW on
/mnt/cdrom2/):
mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
to:
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0
You are changing the "dev=" portion to point at "/dev/scd0".
Hope this helps.

Re: [[newbie] Sorry, here is another MODEM question.]
If it's a PCI, it doesn't matter. What matters is if it's a "Winmodem". These are usually very small short cards that rely on software to carryout the responsibilities of hardware on normal modems. If it is a winmodem it absolutely will not work, and the linux open source developers say they promise it will never work in Linux. Your best bet if you go shopping is an external modem, as it uses standard com ports and IRQ's. 99.9% of them work with Linux and are inexpensive.

Anyway, here's a bit of info. My computer is Compaq Presario 5838 (AMD/Athlon500MHz) with Conexant HCF V90 56K Data Fax PCI internal modem. = HCF indicates a software modem, I believe. This relies on the OS (winxx) to perform some of the functions usually carried out by real hardware. If I'm correct about this, it will NOT work w/Linux. Why not go for an external modem? (e.g., USR faxmodem 56k V.90 or a Courier V.90) === snip HTH, Mike ## Michael Scottaline Linux 2.2.13 ## Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
[newbie] BinChunker for Linux
I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that will take a bin/cue file combination and turn it into an iso like BinChunker does for windows? If so, I'd appreciate the link, or even a few good search terms. Thanks! -- Ty Mixon e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:26147713

[newbie] Problem installing software
I'm having problems with gcc. I've untarred and unzipped several different programs that I've downloaded and when I goto to do the ./configure I get an error message that gcc is not configured to make an executable. I'm sure it something simple that I've overlooked, but any help would be appreciated. Lyndon Lininger Sr.
