Re: your concerns about needing to fumble with a floppy if you install Linux on a separate partition, don't worry. Mandrake installs a boot menu called "lilo" into the boot sector of your boot disk. Instead of the Windoze banner at startup,you'll see a boot prompt "lilo boot:" and can enter "linux" or "dos" at it -- the latter will give you the familiar banner, the former will give you lots of colorful text messages scrolling up the screen, and not much later, the KDE desktop. :-) Re: Lnx4Win -- forget it.

[newbie] Modem driver?
I located my modem at IRQ 3, address 0x02f8, ttyS1. Unfortunately, it is perpetually "busy" to kppp and minicom, on trying to use it, can't talk sense to it apparently. I checked, and it's a dreaded "host-controlled" modem, nearly as bad as a Winmodem. (I didn't choose it; it came preinstalled by the computer OEM, along with, naturally, Windows 98). Anyone know where drivers for these can be found? Rockwell's site is a maze that will turn any sane man into a lunatic in minutes... It's a Rockwell HCF 56K internal modem. It has fax and voice stuff on it, but I don't care about getting those working -- data would be fine. I tried the "+H0" in the init string that turns off error correction and flow control, having read in a HOWTO somewhere that some Rockwell host controlled modems just offload these functions to software -- a rough surf would be better than no surf. Apparently, it doesn't work with this modem. -- .*.

[newbie] Saving to hda1/5

[newbie] Re: Saving to hda1/5
Quoting Hill, Andrew ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I am able to copy files across from my windows drives, but I am unable to copy them back. Any idea why? Mandrake 7.0 and Win98. Without any indication of what error messages etc. you are getting, it's only possible to guess. I'd imagine that it's because by default the win98 filesystem is mounted by root and as such all files will appear to be owned by root. As a normal user you will not then be able to write to the windows filesystem. Probably the best solution to this problem is to create a new group whose members will be those userids that can write files to the win98 paritition. Then mount the win98 partition specifying the new group with the "gid" option and a umask option to make the win98 filesystem group-writable.

Re: [newbie] install problems
I recommend following Paul's suggestions. If you would prefer a GUI boot manager instead of LILO, then read on: When installing Linux, be sure to install LILO to the first sector on the Linux partition (NOT the MBR). To multi-boot Windows and Linux: 1) Backup your MBR (personally, I backup my MBR using "Ranish Partion Manager 2.38") 2) Install and setup a boot manager (I recommend XOSL) Some possible options for boot managers are: A) XOSL (http://www.xosl.org)-The best GUI boot manager IMHO (freeware) B) BootMagic (http://www.powerquest.com) A commercial GUI boot manager C) LILO D) Ranish Partition Manager (http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part/)-I use it to backup my MBR, but I don't use it as a boot manager.

[newbie] xdm, font, login problem...
Ok, I was messing around with quake in x.. I logout, decide to shutdown and reboot... Now, everytime mandrake boots... it goes through the normal boot process, everything is loaded and it attempts to go into init level 5. Now, the screen comes up black (as if its in APM mode) and seems to be looping..(reinititalizing over and over and over) trying to load the graphical display login... and well, as you can imagine the graphical login doesn't show up. .Ok, well I figured out how to get into the system with runlevel 3.. (linux init 3, from boot prompt) guess you learn something everyday eh? Ok now.. the problem I have is, something to do with fonts.. xdm is what is looping the console over and over (as it seems and im assuming it has to do with that anyway) as it can't set the default font directory (as I am assuming) can someone tell me whats going on, and how to fix this problem? Im stuck :( Everything worked fine, then all the sudden it decided to do this. Check out the xdm-error.log. Btw, when I do a Xconfigurator, configure it, it goes into the 'test' mode to test my new video settings.. but it drops out and says the same thing.. that it can't load the fixed font.. argh.

Re: [newbie] Lilo 1024 Cyl 64RAM limit
The BIOS CANNOT see beyond the 1024th cylinder. Therefore the boot code must reside below the 1024th cylinder. I suggest making a 20Mb Linux partition (that resides below the 1024th cylinder) and mounting it as /boot during your Linux installation. This insures that all Linux boot code lies below the 1024th cylinder.

Some of the tape drives require setup files, but I don't have any of those (yes!!!), so I just use mt to set density, partitions, etc and use tar. One thing to note, if you backup with your tape drive and need to restore by booting the floppy and rescue disks, you might not be able to. I hacked the rescue.img to have what I needed in it and made a new rescue floppy. Some of the single disk rescue disks (Tom's boot disk?) might not require this, so check some of them out and make sure you can access the tape and do a restore to to another partition or directory to test.

Re: [newbie] how to delete Linux partition
Since you don't use lilo but boot magic if you give "fdisk /mbr" you will not be able to use boot magic because it will be deleted from MBR. Just remove the entry for Linux from the boot magic configuration. Also you dont have to boot from an installation CD to delete Linux partitions you can use Partition Magic or simply fdisk under DOS(it will identify the Linux partitions as non-DOS). |---| Stylianos Koutrakis Department of Geophysics School of Geology Aristotelio University of Thessaloniki 540 06 Thessaloniki Makedonia, Greece --- E-MAIL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : +30 31 998536 FAX : +30 31 998528 |---| On Thu, 3 Feb 2000, flupke wrote: Here is how I would do : type fdisk /mbr at a DOS prompt to delete lilo and make your computer automaticaly load windows, then boot with a linux CD (I usualy use the slackware70 CD to do this, but you can use any CD that has a live system on it) and, once in linux, use fdisk to turn your ext2 partition into a vfat partition.

How can you see 98 partition I can't see it even under root?

I'd imagine that it's because by default the win98 filesystem is mounted by root and as such all files will appear to be owned by root. As a normal user you will not then be able to write to the windows filesystem. Probably the best solution to this problem is to create a new group whose members will be those userids that can write files to the win98 paritition. Then mount the win98 partition specifying the new group with the "gid" option and a umask option to make the win98 filesystem group-writable.

Re: [[newbie] Problem]
I had a similar problem with my modem. As long as your modem is an external,
or a JUMPERED ISA, ie: NOT a Winmodem, and it is properly configured as TTYSx
( with "x" being the modem port), you might try playing with the FLOW CONTROL,
the default I believe XON/XOFF, I ended up setting mine to NO FLOW -- or
something close to that...and then KPPP initialized my modem.

[newbie] Upgrading from HELIOS to AIR

Re: [Re: [newbie] Email programs?]
I just had to make a change. I've been using the different releases of Netscape that come with the distributions of Linux that I've been using for the past year, starting with RedHat 5.2 (Netscape 4.07) and progressing to right now with Mandrake 7.0 (Netscape 4.7). This evening Netscape decided to not allow me to open the email client any longer. Actually, I could open it but not long enough to read anything. So I went ahead and set up the current version of Kmail (1.0.28) and was able to copy the files with the messages that had been downloaded by the Netscape email client to where they were accessable by Kmail. So, now I am a Kmail user. Now I can see the fabled "crap" that John Alldrich reports seeing when someone sends a message to the list in in html. Woe is me!!!

Re: [[newbie] Email programs?]
The date problem does happen sometimes, but just keep hitting Date until it works. It's a little tricky though, you'll have to experiment with it a bit. Kmail can store your passwords. Go to FileSettingsNetwork Tab Then click on the account, hit "Modify", and there should be an option to "Save Password to Config File". And there you go. Can't help with the different identies though. I'm running 1.0.28. There are several functions I find missing. Some of these might just be because I am not using it correctly though. I have a hard time sorting my mails by date. They appear in the wrong order at times. I also have to re-enter my passwords for each of my email accounts when I restart the program. Also, when composing a new message, it would be good to be able to select which account to send it through. See, I have to skip between several email accounts used by my school.

Re: [newbie] how to delete Linux partition
If you are using Partition Magic and Boot Magic, then first I would disable boot magic so that it boots to Windows all the time. Then run partition magic and delete the Linux partition(s). After you delete them, then you use Partitin magic to add the space back to your windows partition. As always, when doing this kind of thing, make sure you have backed up you Win partition real well. It is not hard to screw up the partition table and have a doorstop for a machine.

[newbie] kernel question/module question
Ok, sometime tonight i'm going to compile and install the 2.3.42 kernel (going with the latest dev version because of the usb support, and i need that for my intellimouse). Now, I have a Diamond Monster II MX300 sound card (vortex2 chipset) and drivers were just released for it not long ago. When I'm compiling the kernel, can the drivers be included as a module into the kernel or do I need to just compile the drivers outside the kernel like i did for the 2.2.14 kernel? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -dave

[newbie] 1 way Cable Modem and Zoltrix Modem
In my area we have 1way cable access using a standard modem for upstream and a General Instrument SB1000 SurfBoard. Any one know how to get this thing to run under Linux? Another question, I was thinking about getting a free ISP for a dialup under Linux as well, can the Zoltrix Spirit PCI modem be used? Befor you say anything, this is one of the rare PCI modems that's NOT a WinModem. It's a real com port device.

Re: [newbie] Time
Davidwhat I do, is have Linux update the system clock every hour by automatically running a small shell script from the /etc/cron.hourly directory. Here's the contents of my shell script: #! /bin/sh rdate -s time.nist.gov As root, create a text file and give it 717 permissions. Put the above text in the file and put the file in the /etc/cron.hourly directory. Linux will now take care of updating the system clock every hour as long as you're on the web.

Re: [newbie] Books and stuff.
Andrew Scotchmer wrote: Firstly thanks to all for your help and does anyone know of any good books on linux and the KDE. The ones I've got don't seem to cover much and theres no user group in my area. Secondly I can't seem to download anything (icq) from the net, or rather I can but I keep getting asked what I want to open it with. I type in home (just a guess) and it downloads to: home/andrew/kde/share/kfm/tmp/..whatever.. but then what. I don't want to sound like a windoze freak but isn't there any install wizards for linux? As I am totally new to all of this, all these .rpm and .tar.gz files, not to mention the home/andrew/kdeetc,etc, are doing my head in (hence the need for a good book). I am running Mandrake 6.1 Andrew Hey, I 've been there! I was just where you are about 3 weeks ago, but hang in there! It all starts to make sense pretty quickly. I've had trouble finding a "one book gives the whole picture" solution, but the latest one I've looked at does a really good job: Linux: Installation, Configuration, Use, 2nd Ed. by Michael Kofler, Addison-Wesley publisher. Regarding install wizards, those .rpm files are pretty much exactly that! Use kpackage, which will install, update and uninstall all the .rpm packages for you. Open kpackage, have it search for .rpm packages (in the options menu, you can define which directories to search for packages). It will give you a list of all the packages (you can view all the installed ones, all the not-installed ones, or both from the options menu). Find the one you want to install, highlight it, and hit install. Coming from Windoze, you'll be amazed at how fast they install (I sure was!). The .tar and .tar.gz files are ones you have to compile yourself (manually install). It's a little more of a pain. I'm not real good at these, but I'll see if my memory serves me right. The others will correct me if I miss it! If you have a .tar.gz, it is zipped, and you have to unzip it. I tend to use the graphical kfm (file manager) to browse the directory. By right clicking on the file, I get the "archiver" option. I choose it, which opens the ark program and I select extract, which unzips the file. (I think you can use the console and enter the command gunzip foo (foo represents the file name). In either case, you end up with a .tar file (which itself is a kind of compressed bundle of files). Use the console and cd into the directory where your .tar file is. Then enter tar -xvf foo This will unpack your .tar file into many files and even directories. Now you are ready to install. I think the commands are as follows: First, do ./configure from the directory which was just created by unpacking .tar Then, do make Finally... make install Then your program should be installed. As you can see, I'm only a step or two ahead of you. Hope this makes some sense! Lance

[newbie] sound card w/mandrake 7

Re: [newbie] Remote Telnet; Remote FTP server (they don't work)
Do what you did to turn 'em off. :-) Also, you can re-run "setup" from a console prompt as root and select "system services." Here's where you configure what starts up automagically. Tried that, it didn't work. When I turned them off, I edited the inetd.conf file and commented them out, but now that I want them again, they won't run. Does anyone know what the programs are called? HmmI'm sure there's a reason I'm not aware of. You *do* know that it makes it more difficult for people to FTP in as most ftp programs (if not all) default to port 21. That being said, it's probably in your config file for the ftp server. Go edit that and it should change ports for you. I'd comment a bit on this, but without the remote FTP server... this is a moot point :) -- ~~ Emerald Arcana ~~ http://project_xat.tripod.com/ http://ArcanaTxM.tripod.com/

Ronald ... sounds like it is not the linux but rather the system clock in your computer. So is it possible that you have your power supply set to EU 50 cycles instead of US 60 cycles (just a guess) .. so boot with a DOS disk sometime, manually set the time from DOS prompt .. go away for 24 hours then check it again .. bet it is still fast. I had computer once that LOST time (because of too little memory and having to always swap and spool), but don't know about GAINING time other than the machine itself.

Re: [newbie] IDE harddrive detection in 7.0 fails
Hi (1)Linux often has problems with partition sizes greater than 8 gigabytes. It is also fussy about where the LILO is placed (the 1024 cylinders thing). (2) Mandrake Software has admitted that DiskDrake does not yet work as it should. To solve a similar problem I used Partition Magic 4.01, which allowed me to graphically, non-destructively, shrink Windows partitions and create Linux native partitions in the resulting free space. This is a commercial product and there may be free alternatives available but I have no personal experience of them. Regards, Ron Quoting Jared Mahoney [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I just tried installing Mandrake 7.0 for the first time last night. I have one 27GB partioned all in one FAT32 for 98. The new graphical setup worked very nicely until it said it couldn't find any valid devices to create filesystems on. Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
