Re: [newbie] System.map
When you recompiled the kernel, a new System.map was built also. You'll probably find it in /usr/src/Linux/arch.i386/boot or similar (I don't recall exactly) This file should be copied into /boot and the symbolic link /boot/System.map pointed to it. The symbolic link points to your 2.2.13 map at the moment. Delete it and link it to the new System.map rm System.map ln -s System.map System.map.2.2.14 (or whatever name you used when you copied the new System.map into /boot) Reboot.

Re: [newbie] can't seem to MAKE the new kxicq = success at last
I knew that was the RPM you needed, because I had been missing the same file as you! But I go through a process when finding a dependecy. First I go to rpmfind.net and go search for the name of whatever I happen to be missing that day. Then if that gives a no go (like in this case, there is no iostream.h.rpm file) then I fire up Google Linux (http://google.com/linux) and search for it there. That usually works. So next time you're missing a file, just check those places. You can download the file here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/libstdc++-2.95.2-4mdk.i586.html Anthony, thanks very much, your suggestion did the trick! How did you know this was the rpm I needed - did you just do a search at rpmfind.net for iostreams.h? I hate having to ask for help with problems like this and would like to know how to find out what it is I need - but again, I'm not a C programmer and don't really wanna learn C. At least not now. Perl, maybe :-) Also, it's even more confusing because I had the -3 version of the above installed.

Re: [newbie] Help!
I'd suggest you to read the LDP (Linux Documentation Project) : It stands on your distribution CD. It is constitued by several packages : nag (Network Administrator's Guide) sag (System Administrator's Guide) LAME (Linux Administration Made Easy) lpg (linux programmer's guide) and others. To see all the LDP packages that are in the distribution, you mount the Mandrake CD and type on a command line: for i in /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/* ;do rpm -qpl $i |grep -q '/usr/doc/LDP' echo $i ;done Then you install the guides that want. They will stand in /usr/doc/LDP/ You should find there all the answers you need. And there are a lot of web sites where you will find documentation about the way linux works.

Maybe you might nied to do something similar when you mount your burner - after all, I guess you can burn to it as root, but not as "normal" user.

However, at the moment, I can mount DOS partitions but only root can write to them. You can mount your burner but only root can write to it yeah?

I think this problem will be solved if i can compile kernel. Thanks in advance. Kemal Kemal, I think you have to install the kernel-headers and kernel-source rpm packages, and then you'll have the /usr/src/linux directory. Use the Kpackage program and have it search on the installation cd for uninstalled programs (I don't know the path on Mdk 7.0, but it's probably something like /dev/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMs -- the key is to point to the directory where all the rpms are). Then you can find these in the list and install them. BTW, I'm not sure, but the kernel-headers may already be installed during the installation. You can use the kpackage to look for it, too. Have it list all packages, then use the find package tool to search for kernel-headers. Finally, if you are thinking of recompiling the kernel just to get the sound card working, you might want to try the Xconfig first. I'm not sure how all that works -- didn't have any sound card problems when I installed, but ask these guys to guide you through the soundcard setup before going to the trouble to recompile. Lance
Re: [newbie] Kudos for Mandrake 7.0
astonishing new DrakConf, the all-graphical Drake Configuration tool, which handles every major (and many minor) configurations graphically and with outstanding functionality and sense of beautity and grace. My (blue) hat is off to Mandrake 7.0! So, you're saying it look nice! :) You post got me thinking - back in the good old days of Amiga's several collections of themed icons cropped up, the most notable being "Magic Workbench". Essentially, it was a pre-defined palette of 16 colours or so, and one guy drew a bucket load of icons all in the same style. By using this specific palette you could pretty much be assured that the icons would blend in with the desktop and look about a million times better than the default icons. Another package was called "NewIcons" and essentially was the same thing, but with a different palette. MWB as it was known used a mainly grey palette with some subtle oranges, NewIcons was a lot more brightly coloured. All in all, it transformed the look of the desktop just by making things "harmonious". Now, do we have anything like this for Linux? A collection of "themed" icons to go with particular desk-top themes? I know there's themes.org but is there anywhere for really cool icons? Anyone got any good stuff they've done themselves?

Re: [newbie] Numlock
Hi, Okay, I myself have only had Linux for 1 day, and haven't figured out how to do very much yet. But, from lots of windows experience and several system builds. The only way I have ever seen to turn numlock on is through the system BIOS. Since every BIOS is setup a little different I can't say exactly what to look for but it should say something to the effect of NUMloc at boot and it will have an on or off setting.

[newbie] Problems with Install
I recently purchased the vs 7.0 Linux from your company and am having some problems with it. At first I tried doing an install by booting off the floppy disk on one of my two PCs(Dell Workstation 410 with a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000) and continuously got garbage video screens where I could barely make out it asking me about the CD-ROM drive on the system. I then successfully did an install on my other PC(a clone with a Viper 770 Ultra) by wiping the machine and putting it on as the only OS on the machine. If I do the Recommended install I get the KDE environment shell loaded automatically which is great but can not get the networking side to work as I have an unlisted NIC(3c905b). I then wiped it again and tried the Server install which I think configured the network properly but I can not see how to get it to now load the KDE environment. I am very new with Linux but am looking to be able to learn. I am an avid computer geek so I am technical with a Cable router running DHCP and such. Please let me know what I may need to change on the bootable floppy to be able to run the video drivers required for the Voodoo card as I want to put Linux only on the first machine. As that machine has a built in 3c905b I will also run into the second machines problem as well so I would appreciate a suggested method to make this work as well. I would like to utilize most of the packages in the Server grouping but as I am a newbie in this Linux realm, I would like to get to the KDE X environment for ease of learning. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance in this matter.

Re: [newbie] can't seem to MAKE the new kxicq = success at last
I knew that was the RPM you needed, because I had been missing the same file as you! But I go through a process when finding a dependecy. First I go to rpmfind.net and go search for the name of whatever I happen to be missing that day. Then if that gives a no go (like in this case, there is no iostream.h.rpm file) then I fire up Google Linux (http://google.com/linux) and search for it there. That usually works. So next time you're missing a file, just check those places. Thanks, Anthony. I should have gone a few steps farther along my normal fix-it path. Sounds like we work a bit alike :-) Sometimes after a certain number of aggravations / install-failures / et cetera, though, it's easier to just ask for help. I anticipate the day, however, when I'll be in Linux where I am now in windows ... which is to say someone who can answer most questions and even make a few bucks on the side doing it. I'm no guru, but I can get the job done. That's all (I suspect) MOST of us want to be with this OS: able to do most anything we want to do without too much research or troubleshooting. I just reread your message before getting ready to hit the enter key - and noticed you said "google.com.LINUX." I didn't notice that the first time! And I didn't know about that! I will give that a try immediately! Thanks for the great pointer... By the way, using Windows 2000 Pro here on a Celeron 500 laptop with 128 megs ( as I write this I mean ) and it's only asked for a reboot once since install (when I wanted to change some APM settings). It installs like NT4 and looks like 98 gussied up a bit. I need to learn this stuff so I won't get lost when a customer asks me to fix something on their box, but as much improved as it is, it still doesn't make me want to switch back (except for games, and that will change soon enough. I just this weekend got Quake III going in Linux! yay!) thanks dave

[newbie] Midi configuration
Hi, I,m running linux 6.5 on an Pentium I, with an "Jazz 16" Soundboard. I've had no problems with running soundconfig, it played the wave-sample-example, as well as the midi-example. Audio-CD's are running without problem, mp3's, and several video/sound formates do as well, but no MIDI's (exept the midi example of soundconfig), neighter the midi player, wich was part of my basic installation, is working, nor a sequenzer program (BRAHMS) I loaded down the net, wich seems to work well, exepted, that there is no sound at all. By reading a lot, I already found out, that the midi-function and the playin of all kind of wav-formats, are to complet different things, allocated in differend parts of my sound-card, so I assume that the midi part isn't supported correctly, but why can "soundconfig" play it's midi-testfile then?

When I do: $lpr filename It's said something about connection refused but the job is queued. I checked the lpd and it's running. Thanks. Try connecting just the printer and see if you can print. In KDE, open a console window and type "printtool" (without quotes). Try using printtool to reconfigure the printer and print test pages.
Re: [newbie] X window Trouble
i already drop the color depth to 16bit and when i used redhat 6.1 it seems alright, no problemo... is it possible that i have to change my XF86 to the latest release? ** S. Aditya W. e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** On 21 Feb 2000, George Jones wrote: logic7 here... Hmmm... You should be good. I would, however, recommend upgrading to 64Mb at least. Also, drop your color depth to 16bit. I have quite a bit of slowdown in Gnome at 32bit color and my system has 96mb memory, Permedia2 video card, and a 366Mhz Celeron. If you think that it's your video card, find a Permedia2 or i740 based card, everything is pretty much hardware accell'ed with them. They can be had for about $30US.
[newbie] SEARCHLINUX -- Newbie's dream site
Dear friends: I recall my own trepidation when I made the switch from Windows to Linux last spring. I couldn't have made it without some basic books on Linux and the great help of so many generous people on the various Linux mailing lists and newsgroups. However, there is one place on the Internet that should be every newbie's FIRST (and often last) stop in looking for an answer to ANY (and I mean) any problem in Linux. It is called searchlinux and the URL is: http://www.searchlinux.com You'll be utterly amazed at the vast resources available here, that is, literally hundreds of thousands of questions and answers stored in their archives. Almost any question you can imagine is dealt with here. I wish I had discovered it sooner than I did. It would have spared me (and others who have heard the same questions over and over) a lot of grief. In my experience, there is no Linux site like searchlinux. Yours, Benjamin P.S. I am not in any way affiliated or associated with searchlinux. -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net

Re: [[newbie] Installing tar.gz files]
to install a tar.gz file simply give the command in an e-term tar zxvf and this will extract the directory and then once this is done then look for a something called configure and run that in root. remeber you must type the absolute path like /home/star/program name/configure and then if there are no errors run gmake and if no errors pop up there run make install and then run make clean and keep the directory because if you need to uninstall a program just go to that directory and type make uninstall Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

[newbie] How do I upgrade the kernel?
I downloaded the latest kernel but when I tried to install it with kpackage, all hell broke loose. It wouldn't mount my FAT partitions, saying something about a wrong whatever, and my sound stopped working as well. Basically anything the kernel referred to as a module couldn't be found. So reinstalled the old kernel and now everything works. Still, I'd like to upgrade for the sake of upgrading so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Adam

[newbie] Looking for a good start...
I'm getting ready to do an install of Mandrake onto a test machine (dinky 486 I have laying around) to work with until I have a proper machine built. the machine will have 2 SCSI drives, one 2g and the other 1g. I am trying to determine what the best way is to partition the drives and mount my directories so that I can use both drive with some efficiency and have room left over for installing a kernel source now and then as need arises. I plan on using the 2g as the primary drive at ID0 and the 1g at ID1 for starters. Any suggestions from there will be greatly appretiated. Fred Buecker

Run the KDE control centre from a console prompt ( I think the command is: kcontrol) then try to change the colours, themes etc. Look at the text in the console, and it'll probably tell you that you don't have write perrmissions to a certain file. So, log in as root, browse to the file and change the permissions, in the file properties. You can also do this by su root, then using chmod. But I've forgotten the commands to use ;) HTH

You need to udate your unreal files, or it will hang right at the start of the intro. If you don't update Unreal, you can try running it in Windows, then setting the resolution and any other options to do with the display, to what you'll be using when you're running it through wine. So, if you're Linux display is set at 800x600, make sure unreal is set to that too. Also, try using the -desktop 800x600 option when running wine. HTH
