Jim Garner Well, it depends on your needs. I have 6.0 on a P90 with 32 Mb and it does just fine as long as you stick to a Window Manager and stay away from KDE or Gnome. Personally I can't see why anyone who is a refugee from MS would want to use KDE anyway. My problem with Win 95 was the arbitrary way in which you had to work. In many ways (not all) I find that KDE is even more arbitrary. Gnome seems much more flexible. As far as crashes in Win 95 goes I think KDE ties up about as much. The great joy of Linux is all of the stuff which you can do without the pretty little pictures. Try the command line - you may never leave it. I too think that a single user version is necessary if Linux is to become a household name. John Montgomery YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

Craig, Open a console and at the prompt, enter: su You will be asked for the root password, so give the password This will let you work as root (you have to be root to mount/umount) NOW... If you haven't already created a mount point (directory folder) for the cd, decide what you want to call it and then enter: mkdir /mnt/ (where represents the name you choose) This creates a place in the directory for the cd drive (You can then go into your kfm and view the new directory if you want) to mount the cd, put a cd in the drive then enter: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/ ( is the chosen name) This should get your cd mounted. When you want to unmount it, enter: umount /mnt/ Basically, you do the same for the windoze drive, too. Create the mount point. Then, when you want to mount it, do: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/ BTW, I'm just a few weeks "ahead" of you, and I'm learning to trust the console more and more. The console is our "friend" that we can trust!

[newbie] Sound Card, graphic card
Hi all, Pretty bad at managing a Linux. Here's my questions : 1.How do you go about to configure ur sound card?? 2.I select a generic graphic card (S3 3D Trio), when I start my netscape, a error msg stating that it can only support a mono visual screen. However, things get normal after I quit the program. 3. I find that although Linux appear more stable than Windows, however I find that performace wise, Window is faster. Wonder do you guys feel the same or is my system slow. I use a pentium II 300 Mhz, 64MB SDRAM Any idea ???

In many ways (not all) I find that KDE is even more arbitrary. Gnome seems much more flexible. As far as crashes in Win 95 goes I think KDE ties up about as much. The great joy of Linux is all of the stuff which you can do without the pretty little pictures. Try the command line - you may never leave it.

Re: [newbie] Dual Boot with LiLo and other stuff
Sorry if this is a little late - I've just read this request. About Linux only seeing the first 64 meg of memory: If you're using LILO to boot Linux, then start it with LILO: linux mem=128M You should see the 128 meg reported on your login screen. If you're going straight to runlevel 5 (Start X automatically) you'll have to be quick to spot it. Anyway, once you're in, you can call 'top' from a shell and it'll tell you how much memory you've got. There's probably a cat /proc/memory' or similar to get the same information. Now, to make this changes permanent, and automatic, you can now edit /etc/lilo.conf and add the line append="mem=128M" to each stanza it's applicable to. You can specify any value for the amount of memory, but it's best to stick to what you've got. Also, it might also be a good idea to only declare 127 meg to Linux, as you might not be able to use the full 128 meg for software - I was reading a HOW-TO last night about this very topic and I believe it's possible that the upper part of memory may get used by some BIOS'es to store stuff, video cards, sound cards, etc. etc. It'll probably be OK though the HOW-TO was quite old and may be somewhat obsolete Steve Flynn IBM MVS Operations Analyst Paul Derbyshire [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 11/02/2000 22:42:54 Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Steve Flynn/UK/Contr/IBM) Subject: Re: [newbie] Dual Boot with LiLo and other stuff At 07:48 PM 2/10/00 -0800, you wrote: No sound, nada, zilch, flat lined.

Do you actually have a Trio based card? If not, find your chipset and use those drivers. Speedwise, If you're using Gnome, then Winblows98 would appear to be faster, KDE, to me anyways, is the desktop of choice.

Re: [newbie] sorry,modem is busy
I'm having this problem now after reinstalling Mandrake following a system upgrade. My USR internal modem worked fine under both Mandrake MS Win when the system was a Pentium 133. But now the same modem won't work with Mandrake in what is now an AMD K2-6 450, although it still works fine in MS Win. I don't get it. I have a Zoom that is PNP that works fine in windows. Linux will not pick it up with play and play, I will get modem busy as you did. If I disable the plug and play on the modem card it will work in Linux Mandrake. Mandrake boots up and sees it as a generic modem and it works fine. Also remember when selecting port option in PPP settings that if you were on port 2 in windows it would be either cua 3 or ttys3 in Linux.. Most cards work with CRTS and I would go back to using that and adjust your ports, more likely your problem. John

HI Alan I have modem on com3 this is /dev/ttyS2 but for Kppp is same "sorry,modem is busy" and nothing works . I used minicom but to same problem modem is busy please hand up . :-) George - Original Message - From: Alan Shoemaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 1:41 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] "sorry,modem is busy" John Georgethat's incorrect in a number of ways. Windows ports are numbered com1, com2, com3 and com4. Linux ports are numbered (note the upper case S) ttyS0, ttyS1, ttysS2 and ttyS3. The cuaX's are obsolete (though they do still exist in the /dev directory in mdk 7), but are/were numbered 0 through 3 just like the ttySX's and there is/was no space between the cua and the number. So, com2 is equivelent to ttyS1 or cua1, not ttys3 or cua 3. Alan jfmurphy wrote: [snip] I have a Zoom that is PNP that works fine in windows.

I can not get the kde screen saver to work for a user.I haven't tried Gnome as I don't want to run it. I changed the permissions to 777 but it still doesn't work. I would like to know the file that has that info in it as well as a short copy of someones that is working. All I want is to blank the screen. Nothing fancy. I installed everything off the cd 1160 megs, I saw a comment that they ran out of room on the cd. Do I need to go get a screen saver rpm?

Re: [newbie] Re: [alsa-user] alsa install problem
Thanks Warren Im not sure what you mean by assuming irq etc is ok? I dont have the irq or dma setting in the conf.modules which Ive queried a number of times now and no ones replied. Thru the mini how to it shows settings for these for the various cards but not mine so I dont know what to put there. And Im having to use the alsa drivers and I dont know if perhaps its reading those specific settings from elsewhere? Some things I cant unmute from the prompt. The ones that are two words like PC Speaker. Master Mono, Input Gain. But if I just do the Master then I can get into the mixer and unmute the others. The sound is definately coming out of my 4 amplified speakers. The sound is great! :) I've unmuted Master. I have to do that to get the mixer program to open off k/multimedia. I didnt think to change PCM0 AND PCM1. I'll try that. regards Gina Are you hearing cd's through your headphone jack or the speakers? IIRC= if I recall correctly kmix = little speaker icon on takbar or mixer in menu/multimedia the output of amixer shows you have unmuted some things but not your master volume, so I assume irq etc is okay. there are usually 2 pcm's PCM0 PCM1. I had to unmute PCM1 in my case.. -WBD

I am trying to install it and it gets to loading the packages from the CD and it locks the computer. Is there anything that I need to know about my problem and what may be causing it? Thanks Eli Warren
