[newbie] Problems during Install
Hi all, I´ve downloaded the Mandrake 7.02 ISO Image. I installled Mandrake on one machine without any problems , but on another machine we get an error during installation right after the partition part.(Same CD) The error is something like "could not base package". Hardware of the machine: AMD-K2 300 64 MB SD-Ram 100Mhz 6,4 GB Western Digital + 3,2 GB Quantum NC8xx UW SCSI Hostadapter (- so found by Mandrake in reality its a Dawicontrol UW SCSI) SCSI ZIP-100 extern CD-ROM Toshiba 32 SCSI CD-R Teac Ati Expert@Work AGP Winbond Lan 100 I started the installation process by booting from the cd. Its work neither in the CD-Rom nor the CD-Writter. Any ideas... ?? Maybe the problemi is the SCSI Hostadapter , but the first part of the installation (finding the cd and mounting) works fine ... Ciao and thanx Jens Schliesser

Re: [newbie] Running programs
You path variable does not have the current directory in it by default.
That is, it will define you path to include
/usr/bin:/bin:/home/someguy/bin: etc but it does not include './' which is
the current directory.
There are two ways to get around this problem:
Start your program with
'./myprog'
or add ./ to then of the PATH environment variable in your .bash_profile. I
personally use the latter method as I get mightily tired of cd'ing over to
a directory and typing './' in front of everything! You may prefer the

[newbie] vanishing applications
I don't know if this is something I can do anything about, but I have noticed in more than one distrubution of Linux, including Mandrake 7.0 that when it gets, perhaps, overtaxed by too many things open or too many things happening at once, rather than freezing itself up, it just makes the offending applications go away. For example, if I click too many links too fast in Netscape, rather than freezing everything up like Winbloze used to do, Netscape will just close spontaneously. The same with some other apps. Maybe that's preferable, but when one is in the middle of a large download, it's a pain to start it all over. In that vein, is there anything that will save and resume a download in Linux? Is there any kind of keep alive program that will emulate activity to circumvent the ISP's inactive time limits while downloading? Just some questions. It may have more to do with the fact that I get excited about sixteen or more virtual workspaces and I get things going in a lot of them. Thanks! Don J. Do good stuff!

Re: [newbie] WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE 78UY6TY and good mannerOOD MANNER
Unfortunately, these kinds of mail don't come from the guys at Mandrake, or from users of this list. These mails come from spammers who send their stuff to lots of people and mailinglists. There's people dedicating themselves to search internet pages for email-addresses (using webcrawlers jumping from link to link; something similar can be done with the "wget" program included in most linux distros). This way they build up huge databases full of email-addresses, which they then sell to companies who want to send info to a great amount of people with little cost. Unfortunately these "companies" don't care about the fact that most people aren't even interrested in this crap. If only a small percentage of the people getting this "info" actually is interrested, the costs are already reclaimed. And the rest can go sit in a corner and sulk for all they care. Also, many of these mails contain information at the bottom on how to unsubscribe. It's advisable _not_ to do this, as this usually has the oposite effect. Instead of unsubscribing you, you get marked as an "active email user", they know your email-address is valid and gets read, so before you know you get tons of become-a-milionaire offers and such in your mailbox. Safest thing to do is just ignore it and delete the mail. On Feb 28 Emanuele La Rosa wrote: Indeed I don't think it has something to do wirh linux.

Re: [newbie] AWE64
You mean why, shut down the plug and play ? well it is explained in the mandrake installation manuals... The appearance of plug'n'play and its widespread use means that all modern BIOS can initialize these devices, but you still have to ask it to do so. If your Windows 9x is initializing these devices instead of the BIOS, this will need to be changed for use under Linux. Robert I hope this helps you a little
[newbie] Upgrade to Mandrake 7.0 via FTP
I'm trying to upgrade a Redhat 6.0 box to Mandrake 7.0 via ftp. I've created the boot disk with the network image. When I boot to the disk it asks all the normal stuff the problem I'm having is that I'm behind a firewall. It looks like it allows only for a transparent ftp proxy and mine requires a password. Is it possible to modify the network image boot disk to allow for a password based firewall? Thanks, Steve

Re: [newbie] Shutdown errors.
edit your "/etc/rc.d/initd.d/halt" file the last line change from: eval $command -i -d -p to the following: eval $command -i -d save it of course, and that should do it. that's what worked for me on a 450 with the old type pwr supply.

[newbie] Install failure for LM 6.5
I'm trying to install LM 6.5 on a machine with abt 9GB hd, 4GB partitioned with PM 5 for Linux with swap partition created. It fails to install everytime I try. It's almost immediately during the install process. I setup the partitions, put in the CD, and reboot the system. My CD is set to automatically interrupt the bootup process (primary drive), so it immediately goes to the install screen. Regardless as to whether I choose expert or regular install, it proceeds normally. First, it asks the standard "what are you using" questions: language, keyboard layout, etc. Asks for the Install vs. Upgrade question. I choose install. Asks if the data is on the CD or Hard Drive. On the CD. Asks if I have any SCSI adaptors. No. Says it will scan/setup the hard drive for installation, gives the option of using Disk Druid or Fdisk. Both Disk Druid and Fdisk give the same response: no hard drive detected, check your hardware configuration. I can get to the menu and setup everything else, but it won't detect the hard drive to complete the actual installation. Have to ctrl-alt-delete to get out eject the disk. Any thoughts out there? Thanks in advance... Ken in Alaska

Re: [newbie] VMWare
Hello, I would suggest you install kernel source and headers and any other dependencies from your disk. What you are aiming for in the long run is to have a /usr/src/linux and /usr/src/linuxlocal directories in your system. You may also have to install such rpms as 'make', 'gcc', etc and their dependencies. Try that see how you go, Simon - Original Message - From: Aaron Zuercher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 29, 2000 6:17 AM Subject: [newbie] VMWare Hello List, Anyone get VMWare to work on MDK 7.0 ? I could use some assistance. Here is the error I recieve when I try to install and config both VMWare 1.1.2 and VMWare 2.0 Beta: The directory of kernel headers (version 2.2.14-15mdk) doesn't match your running kernel (version 2.2.14-1mdklinus). Consequently, even if the compilation of the module was successful, the module would not load into the running kernel. My linux box is running the stock kernel. Do I need to recompile it?

Re: [newbie] Install failure for LM 6.5
Kentry going back to PM and deleting the partitions you made for Linux in that 4GB space and let the 4GB be just unpartitioned space on the drive. Now try another installation of your Mandrake 6.1 (6.5 is not really the version, just something MacMillan printed on the box) system.
