[newbie] Problems With Linux4Win on a Laptop
Linux4Win sounded like the perfect technology to use to play with Linux on my laptop. The laptop uses the Chips and Technologies 6 video chipset and has an active matrix screen set to 800X600 resolution. I checked the Mandrake home page and the 6 is listed as supported under Mandrake 7. I began the Linux4Win installation process, I performed the pre-installation processes described in the demo spotlight on the Mandrake home page but when the graphical installer was supposed to start up it was impossible to see what was said on my screen. I could see a ghost of a penguin near the top of the screen but the bulk of the screen was completely black and unreadable. Does anyone know if there are any switches for Linux4Win that will force it to give me a text based installation manager up until the point that it lets me choose my X configuration with the CT6 controller? Obviously the simple graphics which should run on anything don't run on my laptop. Is there another way to approach the problem? -- Traci Collins, MA Professor of Computer Education Colorado Mountain College http://www.rof.net/wp/tcollins/traci.html

[newbie] someone sent virus attachment to this news
I just realize someone sent the virus attachment to this news see below...for more information.. source from www.mcafee.com . Virus Profile Virus Name W32/Pretty.worm.unp Date Added 2/17/00 Virus Characteristics *March 2, 2000 Update: AVERT has received numerous samples of this Internet worm. Many users reporting this worm are also users of Outlook Express. This is the unpacked edition of the originally packed "W32/Pretty.worm" Internet worm.* This is an Internet worm that installs on Windows 9x/NT systems. It arrives via email from affected users who have also run this Internet worm. It appears as an icon of a character from the animated comedy series "Southpark". Emails containing this Internet worm have this format: - Subject: C:\CoolProgs\Pretty Park.exe Test: Pretty Park.exe :) - Attached is the file "Pretty park.exe" and in some cases "Pretty~1.exe". This worm will try to email itself automatically every 30 minutes to all email addresses listed in the Windows address book associated with Outlook Express. A second function of this worm is that it will also try to connect to an IRC server and join a specific IRC channel. While connected, this worm tries to stay connected by sending information to the IRC server, and will also retrieve any commands from the IRC channel. While on the determined IRC server, the author of this worm could use the connection as a remote access trojan in order to get information such as the computer name, registered owner, registered organization, system root path, and Dial Up Networking username and passwords. Users should download 4067 DAT set or above for detection and removal of this Internet worm. To download the DAT files, follow this link . Send This Virus Information To A Friend? Indications Of Infection Emails containing this Internet worm have this format: - Subject: C:\CoolProgs\Pretty Park.exe Test: Pretty Park.exe :) - This program, when run will copy itself to FILES32.VXD in WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder. It then modifies the registry key value "command" located in the location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open from "%1" %* to FILES32.VXD "%1" %*. This in essence will cause the FILES32.VXD to run during the execution of any exe file. See this related description of W32/Pretty.worm. Method Of Infection Direct execution of the file "Pretty Park.exe" will install to the local system as mentioned above. Removal Instructions The order to remove this trojan is complicated by the depth to which the trojan hooks the operating system. The following procedure should remove the Trojan. With Windows 95/98, the registry can be loaded and edited using the program named REGEDIT while in Windows NT, you use REGEDT32 1) Identify and note the files associated with this trojan as detected by the scanner - do not remove the trojan at this time. If you have already removed the trojan, you will not be able to run REGEDIT steps below on the affected system. Proceed instead to step 11 listed below. 2) Open an MS-DOS prompt via the menu or click on START|RUN and type COMMAND and then 3) At the prompt, type START COMMAND and press and then start Regedit in Windows 95/98 by typing REGEDIT or in Windows NT type REGEDT32 and press 4) Remove references to the trojan from these keys of the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\exefile\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\exefile\shell\open\command They should contain only the value not including brackets ["%1" %*]. 5) If applicable, remove any keys that run the main trojan under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\ And HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ 6) If applicable, delete the registry key if it exists HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dl and exit Regedit 7) If applicable, edit WIN.INI and remove the reference to the trojan from the run= line in the [windows] section. 8) If applicable, edit SYSTEM.INI and remove the reference to the trojan from the shell= line in the [boot] section. It should just contain the file EXPLORER.EXE. 9) Restart the system. 10) Delete the trojan program(s). If all is well the files should be deleted OK. If you get an error message saying that windows is unable to delete the file because it is in use, then you have made an error in the above procedure. Repeat steps 1 to 9 and try again. 11) In the event that the trojan was deleted before making the registry changes, it is still possible to repair the registry. You will need access to another computer, or at a minimum, access to MS-DOS on the affected system. Using MS-DOS edit, create a file called UNDO.REG with the following content (you can cut and paste):

Re: [newbie] Problems With Linux4Win on a Laptop
The problem is that I loose the ability to see my screen before I have the opportunity to pick the expert mode. Drakx goes graphical before it lets you choose which of the modes you want. I need to be able to tell the lnx4win installation not to go graphical until after I have had that opportunity. It seems to be very prepackaged to work exactly one way, which is good, but I am hoping that Mandrake left in some switches to handle the exceptional cases. I can't find those switches documented if they exist. I'm hoping that I just missed the right document and that someone can point me toward it.

[newbie] make command recompiling kernel...
I have Yamaha YMF-724 PCI sound card. The only way to make that card work in linux is using OSS driver from Open Sound System. But i have a problem when I try to install that driver: 1. I have an error message during install about kernel incompatibility, and refer to OSS documentation, I must recompiling my kernel and enable "CONFIG_MODVERSIONS" using "make" command. But when I try to type that command, linux said that make comand is not available. And I was confuse too about how to enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in Mandrake. 2. Still from the OSS documentation, I must do the following step: rm /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h rm. bla... bla... bla... And I can't find the "/usr/src/linux" directory on my hardisk. Is there someone can help me why "make" command and "usr/src/linux" directory isn't available..??? or maybe I forget something in installation procedure...?? Thanks in advance. -- XE --
Re: [newbie] Installation difficulties
RatsnakeBobit sounds like you installed lilo to the /boot partition not the mbr. You need to boot into linux with yout boot floppy that you made during the installation process. Then you need to edit the first line of '/etc/lilo.conf' by removing the number only, for instance change: boot=/dev/hda1 to boot=/dev/hda now open a console as the root user and type: /sbin/lilo after this the system should boot by default into linux or you can choose win98 by typing windows (or maybe dos, whatever label is in lilo.conf) at the lilo 'boot:' prompt.

[newbie] resources for drivers and other info
Hello all, I've had Mandrake running for about 4 days and I am slowly discovering how powerful it is. For the most part I've been able to figure out most things with help from some friends. But I have some remaining questions. My sound card is a Yamaha and Mandrake doesn't recognize it. In Lothar it's listed in a catagory called other. I've also tried to install a second ethernet card, a Linksys nc100, and Lothar doesn't recognize it either. Is there a good resource for drivers such as these or is there something else that I should be doing? An other problem that I'm having is installing software. So far I've come across three different methods of installing, unpack it your self, install scripts, and rpm packages. Is there a good tutorial on the net some where for using zip and tar or any other info on installing programs? And is there a good beginners resource for setting up and running apache? For example I found the /usr/local/httpd/html folder, I asume that's where apache will go for requests? Doe's it need it's own IP address (different form the machine)? How do you set up other sites with there own IPs? I've installed some apps while I was logged in as root. How do I get those same apps to show up in the application menu or on the desktop when I'm logged in as an other user? Thanks, MichaelAtl, Ga [EMAIL PROTECTED]

"Ronald J.

It came in a Compaq 5724.
