[newbie] both modem and LAN networking?
Just installing Mandrake (7) for my first time. At setup it asks if we want dial-up-modem networking **or** LAN networking. What if we want both? Which should I choose? (I've been running SuSE Linux fine for a year with a modem to connect to the web, and an Ethernet to connect to the other computers in the office.) In fact, I'd like to make the Mandrake 7 computer do IP forwarding / Masquerading to be the only computer in the office that dials in to our local ISP - with the 4 Windows computers using it for internet access. So - that being said - can someone please please tell me which options to choose at Mandrake 7 setup?? (I tried LAN only, and it doesn't seem to connect to our ISP.) THANKS!! Derek Sivers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie] Cable Internet
Still trying to connect to Cable internet. Mandrake 7 found NICs for eth0 and eth1 Have input ip, host, domain, gateway and namesserver info but on startup I get message "starting http . failed" this is the only failure message in startup...I am then told it "cannot activate local host name ." do something with "Server Name directive " info scrolls past pretty quickly. Any help to get this machine connected would be much appreciated.. thanks Ray Wells
[newbie] voodoo3 troubles (not X)
OK, here goes. I have a problem with my Voodoo3 card... Now I have installed the X server w/ the MDK 6.1 installer, and everything with that works fine. Now this is my problem: When got a downloaded the 3d GLIDE stuff from the linux.3dfx.com site (or whater it is) and installed the RPMs, everything went just peachy. But when i try the final step of setting up the voodoo, it fails. All this last step is, is running a simple program called "test3Dfx". It makes sure your card works. All i get when i run the program is " video memory is unprotecting" "Could not open display (640x480) Application Aborted. " i have no clue what makes this do what it does.. please help.. (programming GLIDE is what i do on my windows box, but i want to use my voodoo3 on my linux box. thats why i bought it :) thanks Jerrud

[newbie] problem with 7.0 installation (CD blocks)
I have downloaded the iso file (Mandrake 7.0) and put it on CD (Easy CD creator did everything for me, I just doubleclicked the iso file icon.). No problem so far. I can also boot from CD. All seems fine. BUT.. then it says LOADING and then "Loading second stage ramdisk" and the cursor blinks on the right side for quite a long time. After a while (5 minutes or so...) it says "initializing CDROM" and the cursor blinks on the lower left... nothing else happens!! what`s up there and HOW can I resolve this? I have tried booting from floppy, but still when it goes to the CD to install it, it blocks... Please send me some remedies URGENTLY !!! Thanks, Marc

Apparently you have gotten a good install (so far). What you are seeing is a command prompt, similar to the msdos prompt you may be familiar w/ in M$ land. You really need to get a beginners book, like Linux in a Nutshell, or Running Linux 3rd Ed from O'Reilly Associates. But in the meantime, try the following: 'startx' should start your X Window session i.e. gui desktop, assuming it was configured properly during install. If not, well, you are about to have a much rougher intro to linux. If you did get a decent desktop to come up, click on an icon that looks like a computer monitor, and you will be in a terminal (like an M$-DOS window), and continue. 'cd /usr/doc/howto/' , then 'dir' or 'ls | less' and press 'Space' after you are done reading each screenfull. This is a listing of all the HOWTO files on your system. They may be archived w/ a *gz extension, so log in as root, then return to the same directory and type 'gunzip -r *', which will recursively unpack everything at and below this directory. Then type 'emacs Unix-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO' and read it _all_. If you get tired and want to quit emacs, try Control-x Control-c. Then read 'DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO', and if by now you are feeling a little more comfortable, good. Next time you fire up emacs, type 'Control-h t' for a tutorial on emacs. Granted we put the cart befor the horse here, but you didn't need to know much about emacs to get this far. Alternately, you could use emacs to read the Emacs-Beginner-HOWTO. Note that none of this requires a graphic desktop. It all works just fine w/o . If you find emacs to be too much, try 'vi /usr/doc/HOWTO/Vim-HOWTO' to try the vi editor. Enjoy, Monte Milanuk

It's stopped doing that for some reason. Maybe it was because I told it to "save options."

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.0 installation
I had exactly the same problem. When I checked the cd using Windows it read the directory but not the readme(s) down one or two levels. I then downloaded the iso file once again from another mirror (can't remember which one) and burned another cd. This one was readable with Windows and installed Linux successfully. Did I need to download again? Who knows, but it is strange that we independently had the same symptoms. Was it the iso file or a bad burn? You tell me, all I know that it finally worked. Harvey

[newbie] 7.0 install problems
Hi, I'm having problems installing 7.0 on my system. I have a P200 with 64MB of ram, a Voodoo Banshee, and I'm installing from a FAT32 partition. When the install menu comes up, it installs everything and gets to the ZoneInfo part and says an error has occurred, then goes to the printer setup and after printer setup goes right back to the ZoneInfo part and loops there. I can make it finish the rest of the installation, but when it gets to the X config, it says it can't find any of the files. I know I chose X to be installed. Anyone care to help?

I Try to get either a Mandrake or a RedHat rpm, as the config files and whatnot will be in the same places. I have never had a problem with using a rpm for either of those distro's. Personally, I have never been able to get a Suse built rpm to work under Mandrake.

[newbie] GNOME problems
Hi everyone: I have just installed mdk 7.0, it seems every thing to go ok, but when I execute GNOME, appears this "neighbour table overflow", (of course if you are in another term working waiting GNOME to load). What does this appear? When I have redhat 6.1 this doesn't appear to me. And GNOME takes a lot to load. Thanks very much for your help.

Right click on your desktop, you will see a list of stuff you can do. Mouse down to "new" The popout that opens should give you a list of stuff you can make on the dekstop. You should see one there called Internet Link, or something like that, Click that one. When the naming box pops up, type in the ftp address. hit Enter.

Sorry, can't help you with the screen problem, but many people here can! If you will log out of kde or gnome (hit the X on the panel or choose it from the main K or Gnome menu), you'll come back to the login screen, where there is a shutdown button. When you choose it, you'll get the choice to shut down or reboot. Naturally, you can shut down from there (wait for the message that the system is halted before you turn off the power). If you want to reboot, you need to watch the reboot process. As your computer boots, you'll get the line "LILO:" When that appears, you have something like 5 seconds to hit the tab button. If you do nothing, the computer will automatically boot into Linux. When you hit tab, you'll see 2 words, (Linux Dos;Linux Windoze; Linux Win; etc.). This is where you choose which system to load. Simply type in the word that designates your Windoze (for me, it is "dos") and hit enter. Then you'll boot into Win. Now, I do believe ctrl+alt+del will also reboot your system, but I haven't done it that way (yet). Lance
Re: [newbie] new user - new installation
Xconfigurator or xf86config should fix the display problem. To exit either kde or gnome, you click on the "logout" button which looks like a padlock under kde and, I believe, is under the "foot" menu in gnome and is labeled simply "log out" or something of the sort. To reboot your computer, you exit X and run 'shutdown' (minus quotes) from the command line. shutdown -r will restart and shutdown -h will turn off the computer. If you have insuficient priviledges to do this under your user account (which I think you can't), you'll have to log out and log back in as root to shut down or restart. Hope this helps.

[newbie] Problem Installing 6.0
First of all, TIA for any help you can give. A friend of mine is trying to install Mandrake 6.0 on his laptop. He has a 24gb hard drive. Approximately 12GB are dedicated to Windoze. The rest is all free space. During the install, he is using Disk Druid to create the Linux partitions. He is able to create the swap and /home partitions. When trying to create the / partition, he gets a message from Disk Druid saying there is not enough free space for the partition. This seems to happen regardless what size he tries to make it. He started trying to create a 1GB partition. Then he lowered it to 800mb, 500mb, and so on. It did no good. He still received the same message. Any ideas what could be happening? -- Rick Friedman Salant Corp. - MIS 800-472-8013 x75105 mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The closest place to heaven on earth is Yankee Stadium."

[newbie] help -error with KDE install
I believe that I missed the boat somewhere. I just installed Linux/Mandrake 6.5. I installed Linux per the install guides. I'm able to log in successfully, but instead of getting KDE as the default user interface I get the X user interface. Not that big of a deal, but I thought KDE would be installed automatically. I did a "find" on kde and came up with nothing. So... I looked at CD3 of and saw that there was a "getting started with KDE". I found the install section, copied over the appropriate files off of CD1 and ran the rpm -Uvh on the files in the correct order. However, on $ rpm -Uvh kdebase_1.1.2-9mbk.i586.rpm I got error : failed dependencies mandrake_desk >= 0.8.2 is needed by kdebase_1.1.2-9mbk.i586.rpm libMesaGL.so.3 is needed by kdebase_1.1.2-9mbk.i586.rpm libMesaGLU.so.3 is needed by kdebase_1.1.2-9mbk.i586.rpm So... this was the only one that failed, but because it is "base" I'm not getting what I need. I'm guessing I need to upgrade a rpm somewhere. I'm assuming that after I get this up and going that startx command - correct? Any help is appreciated - I'm not so sure I what to hang out in the X mode. TIA, JB

[newbie] Repair Image for Mandrake 6.1
Hello, I recently installed Mandrake 6.1, and although the documentation indicates that there should be a repair.img file in the images directory, none exists. I visited Mandrake's main site, but they only have Mandrake 7.0 available. All 6.1 ftp servers I could find have the identical distribution that I do, with no repair.img. Can anyone point me to a location where I can fine the image file compatible with 6.1? I'll settle for the 7.0 version if someone knowlegeable says I'll have no backward compatibility issues.

Hi Leonardo, Have you tried installing Mandrake in Portuguese, this could possibly be an easier way of sorting out your problem. For the StarOffice part , look under the non-kde applications item of your K-Menu you should be able to find an icon for StarOffice. If you do not have one then after you've installed StarOffice you should have restarted kde and this is done in one of the items of your K-Menu ( the little K that you see in the far- bottom left of your screen). Also StarOffice does not need to be installed as root . If you've created yourself a user account you should be able to install StarOffice easily with no need of root's intervention. Please feel free to email me personally if you need any help in Portuguese. Hope this helps. Tchau Bernardo Rodrigues
[newbie] USB and the single guy!
Can Linux handle USB devices? I have an Epson Stylus Photo 750, a Umax Astra2000 Scanner and a external Jetway modem being run off a 7 port USB Hub. The version of Linux I'm using is Linux-Mandrake 6.0. Additionally, can Linux handle a Sound Blaster Live! Player 1024? D. L. Westray, Dagenham, Essex. U.K. ICQ# 60436397
[newbie] Mandrake 6.0
Hi, My name is Jake and I bought your Maximum Linux magazine #1. I enjoyed the magazine but i have trouble installing the Linux Mandrake 6.0 in my computer (h.p) I have install it several times now, but failed to work. I'm don't familiar with Linux but I want to learn from it. I'm going to explain you what happens when I try to get in. 1- Turn on the computer and choose Linux 2- In my screen it appears The Penguin 3- and I'm asked for a login, wich I type jakepp (the one I typed in the installation) 4- then I type my password (333666) and i get this: Last login: Fri Jan 28 14:42:48 on tty1 [jakepp@localhost jakepp]$ After this it stays like this, i type "help" and it gives me a list, I also typed "Tab" key and it gives me another list. I am trying hard to get it to work but I think is time to ask for help from people who know, I also followed the 12 easy steps from the magazine and I also tryed to do it in Workstation and Custom but failed to do so. I would really appreciate if you can help, thank you! Sincerely Jake Pettengill __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Now from the description in your post I'm thinking you meant FTP "Client" not server. IglooFTP is a client FTP program. And if your using GNOME it's even better :) But it looks great by itself in KDE.. Give it a whirl!

[newbie] RPMs
Hey Y'all, Does it make any difference "what kind" of rpm I see/install? What's the difference between an i386.rpm and a noarch.rpm? There is sometimes the option to download i386.rpm, i586.rpm or noarch.rpm, and sometimes there are even rpms with the same name from different companies (mandrake, suse, red hat, etc.) -- does it make any difference in the world which one I download and install? I assume i386 means you need at least a 386 machine, and 586 at least pentium, but noarch? Lance
Re: [newbie] simple question I think?
Have another problem, if I try and "surf" from the IP Masq, netscape for whatever reason locks up. It did not do this yesterday and nothing has changed as far as I know on the Linux box? Any Ideas?

You MIGHT try the XF86_Mach64 SVGA server and see if that works... that's what most of the other ATI cards use. John

If so, it's as easy as booting off that floppy, then log in as root, get to a command-line prompt and type "/sbin/lilo" (minus quotes.) This will restore your LILO. John

[newbie] Raw Devices
I am trying to run an install script that asks for the raw floppy device. My standard floppy is /dev/fd0 Any idea what I should tell the script to look at for the "raw" floppy? I tried /dev/rfd0, but apparently that isn't it... Thanks, Bryan

Re: [newbie] kernel can't detect my ls-120
Hi Neville, I've followed what you told me: inputting the line "/dev/hdc/ls120 msdos rw,no auto, user 0 0" in the /etc/fstab, but it seems that still doesn't work. The two messages still appear after lilo. The ls-120 cannot be mounted in root user as well as normal users. I think the kenel can detect a ATAPI drive in hdc but can't recognize the disk drive is a ls-120 and doesn't load the required driver for it. The BIOS can detect the disk as a ls-120 and I can use it under windows 98 (I have two OS in my PC). What do you think that I should do to make the kernel recognizes my ls-120?

Re: [newbie] Graphical FTP server
Have you tried gFtp yet? If not give it a try. It is located under the non-kde item of your K-Menu. Look for the item Internet under Gnome, you will find it there. It is similar to the one you've used under Windows with more features. If you haven't got it try and find from your Mandrake CD. Also do a search at http://www.linuxberg.org you'll find lots of software there. Hope this helps Bernardo Rodrigues
