[newbie] General advice??
Hi, I already tryed to make my problem clear in a mail called "help!", but it was six in the morning, I was frustrated and it got quit chaotic, so here is my problem struktured a little more: - basic "anatomie" of linux I'm experienced with MS-DOS (not Windows!), so I know what a device, a partition, a file, and a directory is, but, how do these work to gether in Linux? --can I open a directory from everywhere, or do I have to "go the path"? --are there some directorys opened from everywhere, others not? --why are all program starters appear in /usr/bin, can I change that ?(cause it's quite full, but there are other partitions...) --where does a program starter know from, where to find the other parts, wich belong to its program? I ask these questions, cause my installed system is working well (exept the printer), but programs I download from the net don't! No matter if RPM or tar.gzip, I can unpack and install these programs, they create a lot of directorys and files, but whatever I "clik" to the program isn't starting. This happend with Staroffice, the Realplayer and some other programs, they all have starters in /usr/bin, wich don't seem to start anything (maybe cause they "don't know" where to find?), and directorys do appear spread over the harddrive, full with files, wich theme to belong to these programs. I can see each "Button" of the real player as .jpg for instant, but no "setup" or "install" or something like that, and "rvplayer" wich appears in /.usr/bin, isn't doing anything. The same with staroffice wich is connected to what? In DOS each program was a "standalone" using the DOSthe same way like the others to use the hardware, each program brought it's own graphic, sound etc. But what about Linux, different parts do "use" or "suspend" each other, but how? -- what is the Kernel doing? -- what is x-free doing -- what is the window manager doing (or is it identical with xfree ?) -- what is a desktop manager doing (or is it identic with the window manager ?) -- do different window/desktop managers have same "permission" or "power" --can I do everything from KDE or Gnome, or do I have to go to "Anotherlevel" --is there some absolute base level like DOS under Windowns, were all other parts of the System refer to? I ask these questions, to find out: --why my printer is printing the prntool testpage perfectly, but nothing else --why my graphics and sounds are great performing under KDE and horrible under Gnome --why my 5,76k-baud modem is doing not more than 1,5k-baud most of the time (or is that normal "internet-speed" and a problem of providers and to many users? (I'm brand new in the net)) Well, I know, these are still many, many questions, but what shall I do? I'm shure I can find all these Information in man-pages or HOWTOW's or the manual, but these informations are absolutely chaotic struktered!

Partition magic is the best program to do what your trying to do. I don't know for sure about the one that came with linux. In order to get linux on D: not to mount the partitions on C:, you can run 'linuxconf : File systems : access local drives' and then get rid of the two partitions assumingly /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3.

Re: [newbie] Unanswered Question
Hi Hershel , I am new to this site so I didn't see your previous mail. 1 Is this a reasonable plan? You plan sounds o.k. although I have never use fdisk. I use PartitionMagic from Windows which is safe. But I would advise you back up your data first. 2 What do I need to do to let my Linux on D know that I removed partitions two from C (i.e. Linux on D currently mounts those partitions) unmount the drives from Linux or you may see some error messages when you next boot up (having removed the partitions). You do this from LinuxConf.attach local drives. You will get the list of mountable drives. Click on the ones you want and delete them. 3 Lilo currently is able to boot into NT and Linux on C and Linux on D. I assume that I can just edit lilo.conf to remove the Linux on C and then run lilo -v and lilo will be happy.Not too clued up on LILO, but that sounds o.k. Hope it helps, Michael When I initially installed Linux I just used the program that comes on the CD for partitioning P.S. Did you get a limited version of PartitionMagic with your CDs. If so, look at it.

are you sure you set all the jumpers on your main board correctly for your new processor? is your win98 not booting up? use your win98 boot disk go to c: and do a fdisk /mbr from the command prompt then try rebooting and see what happens. you should be able to get into windows if you put lilo in the boot sector. another option is to use your boot disk for linux and do a re-install and install linux and lilo agian. I would think that would update all the linux files and allow things to function again.

Re: [newbie] General advice??
Joerg, After browsing through the messages to and from you, I thought I might go ahead and add a couple of thoughts. Books: The O'Reilly Running Linux is available in German as well as English. I also picked up the book Linux fuer Anwender, but didn't find it very helpful. As a newbie I've found Linux: Installation, Configuration, Use 2nd Ed. (by Michael Kofler) to be my favorite. Just the other day I was in a bookstore and noticed that it is also available in German. For me, it gave the best overview, plus a lot of practical stuff that I've used. Finally, if you haven't seen it, CHIP published a special Linux Ausgabe in January, which also provides some useful tips. Real Player: No clue on that one Starting programs: My first try is to use the command line (right click on the kde desktop and select Execute Command) or console. From anywhere, just type in the name of the program. Seems like some programs "don't like" to be started from the icons in kfm, but will then run from a command line. Not sure why, though. Lance
[newbie] StarOffice install
I just attempted to install StarOffice and it complained about not being able to find "libc6" (or "libc5"?) which it thinks glibc2 is going to be named... will making a symlink from glibc2 to libc5 fix this? Or do I need to install libc5? DvB
[newbie] System.map
Hi, I have just succesfully downloaded, configured and compiled the linux kernel 2.2.14. I was originally using 2.2.13 that I got off the CD. I have moved the new kernel image into the /boot directory within its own subdirectory and updated the /etc/lilo.conf file. On booting up the computer I get the following warning: /boot/System.map has an incorrect kernel version. Linux boots up o.k. except with this message being displayed a number of times. Can any one tell me why this is happening and how I resolve the problem ? Thank you in advance, Michael

[newbie] bug with mandrake 7.0 install -- lilo.conf
when installing using the new ISO image, everything worked perfectly until the LILO bootloader config an install step. the dang thing wouldn't install itself onto my mbr and the installer reported a "syntax error" on line 6 of lilo.conf. I wanted it to set up windoze as my default boot partition, so maybe it was taking that personally. i ended up canceling out of this step of the installer, which otherwise finished successfully. Now, I just have to use a boot floppy to get into linux on my system. any ideas how to avoid this syntax error in lilo.conf, or what might be causing it? i'd like to use lilo on my MBR for easiest dual booting and whatnot.

[newbie] Excellent replacement for Printtools.........
For those having trouble getting their printer to work in Printtools, go to http://www.rpmfind.net and download APSfilter. It says it's for the Suse distribution, but on the recommendation of someone on a Linux forum, I downloaded and successfully installed it, and was instantly able to print! No more headaches from Printtools, and I didn't even have to set it up 1st - I just installed and started printing! The last time I had Mandrake installed I was never able to get it to print, so this time, when I had to reinstall Mandrake, I didn't even bother with Printtools, I immediately went and got APSfilter. It seems to be more of a simple print utility than what comes with MS Windows - there doesn't seem to be a way to reduce the print quality to save ink. But atleast it works!
