According to the manual, not really. USB support in general is still not that good in x86 Linux variants as it is in Windoze. But they are working on it, so chances are great that newer kernel versions will offer better USB support. DJ.

[newbie] Printing
Yello Folks! I am trying to setup printing from 2 Mandrake 7.0 machines to my Windows95OSR2 Server which has a HP695C attached.. This previously worked fine with Mandrake 6.1. On both Mandrake Machines when I set them up they print once and once only (the test print). Afterwards when I try and print again nothing gets sent through my network to the Windows Box. I managed to get one of them to print again by deleting the /var/spool/lpr/lp directory, and then re-installing the printer again but once again it printed once and once only.

AW: AW: [newbie] USB support?
Well, you might want to try using another Distro. I personally and from a professional point of view like SuSE Linux very much. At work we use their distros on several machines (Mail, DNS, etc.). The advantage of SuSE (current release: SuSE Linux 6.3, SuSE Linux 6.4 is to be released real soon) is that they pack an incredible lot of software on their CD's and they usually also always include the newest stable and "hacker" kernels. So if you really HAVE TO use your ISDN adapter via USB, you should give SuSE a try. Chances are big, that if there was any advancement in USB support SuSE has included the appropriate kernel onto their CD's, so all you needed to do is to recompile the kernel and have USB support included. But be warned, though: SuSE is great if you know what you are doing, but Newbies will find it rather unfriendly or hard to understand, IMO. From a Newbie POV Mandrake is far better suited.

[newbie] Installation problems on laptop
Hi. Im having some problems installing Mandrake Linux 7.0 on my Texas Instruments laptop and Id appreciate some help. I realise that laptops can be very problematic, but its all I have at the moment, so I would like to install linux on it if possible. Ill explain the history of my problems a bit so that noone wastes their time writing answers that I already know. However, my main questions involve being able to run the autoboot (from DOS) in text mode, and also the files necessary for an installation from the hard drive (in a DOS partition). My laptop can only have the CD _or_ the floppy drive in at the one time, not both. And as my CDROM is not bootable, I thought that the 2nd installation option (running autoboot from DOS) would be best. At first I had problems with it hanging, but that was resolved with the new autoboot file from the Mandrake website. However, a later problem with an error number 111 (errno=111) cropped up and I was told that it was a problem recognising my monitor or video card. I was also told that it could be avoided by running the installation in text mode. I couldnt see how to do that with the autoboot file, so I moved onto the next installation mode. Next problem was the text mode installation. I copied the boot_txt.img file onto a floppy (with rawrite) and the installation went swimmingly until it asked me to insert the CDROM, or where it was, or something similar. Now, I cant boot from a floppy and then change the floppy and the CDROM over, so I cant see how I can proceed that way. I thought about an installation from the hard drive, but I dont have that much space, and I wouldnt be able to copy all of the files from the CD to the hard drive. If there were only about 100MB of files to copy and I knew which ones they were, then it would be OK, but at the moment it doesnt seem to be an option. So, eventually, we come to my questions. 1. Does anyone know a way to get autoboot to run in text mode? That would, I believe, solve all of my problems. 2. What are the minimum files that must be loaded onto the hard drive for this installation, and how do you get this method to run in text mode? (with the boot_txt.img that I made, it seemed to assume that it was to be a loading from CDROM) 3. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Id prefer not to have to use another distribution, like Debian, if possible, as I have the Mandrake disk here. So, if anyone can help me with my problem, Id really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Jamie
Re: [newbie] Install
If I may add to that, when you use the Lnx4Win to install on any Windows system you are not installing on a partitioned area. It is piggy backed on the Windows and if you have a crash on Windows and have to reinstallguess what? Right, Linux will need to be reinstalled as well. Plus that install is very sss in responding to what you want to do. I did about 9 installs on my Win98 system using the PQPTMagic (Power Quest) and I cannot say enough GOOD things for that software. It performed Excelently and the best and easiest to work with is "lilo" (LInux LOader). Have fun... don I thought I knew that I knew what I thought But now I know that what I thought I knew Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.

[newbie] Modem almost connects -- SOLUTION!!!
Dear friends: Below is a solution to a problem that can drive newbies up the wall and straight into a mental asylum. It is completely unnecessary and, in my opinion, should be automatically included into Mandrake's routines. I use the U. S. Robotics 56k external modem, which, according to our resident gurus, is probably the best modem to use with Linux (at any rate, it must be an external modem. Internal modems cause too many IRQ problems). Using kppp or any dialer, you dial in, the modem rings, you go through the normal logging routines, and just as you are about to connect, the modem pulls back and STARTS DIALING AGAIN. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. The solution, apparently, has nothing to do with the connection speed. If your modem "connects" to the Internet and then, at the last second, disconnects and RESTARTS the process ad infinitum, the problem is one of authentification. The solution has to be one of the simplest in the whole of Linux. I learned this from a kind list member. I am just passing it on. Make sure you etch it on your forehead in case you need to restore your system or you will not remember the solution. Here it is: [sher@adsl-77-233-178 sher]$ cd /etc/ppp [sher@adsl-77-233-178 ppp]$ ls chap-secrets ioptions ip-down* ip-up* options pap-secrets peers/ [sher@adsl-77-233-178 ppp]$ cat options |more lock noauth [sher@adsl-77-233-178 ppp]$ 1) Open any text editor and go to /etc/ppp, then open the file called "options". You will probably see the one word "lock" (as above) without the quotes, of course. Now just add the one word "noauth", which means "no authorization". This tells pppd (or kppp) NOT to look for any further authentification. And suddenly, you are on the Net. 2) If you get a "lock" message when trying to connect, be sure to go to /var/lock and just delete the "LCK..ttyS1" file. Print this out and save it in a safe place in case you forget. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net

Then, when I go into Netscape, It Says Can not find web site gives me something about SOCKS compatbility essentially.. it says it didn't find an internet connection... is it the fact that it does not say "LOGIN" anymore on the log, liek it would when it use to say "PPP DAEMON DIED UNEXPECTEDLY" I decided to call my ISP (earthlink) and they said "WE DON'T DEAL W/ LINUX SETUP" We Only Can setup Windows + Macintosh. he said he could only tell me what info I needed, ie - the DNS numbers, etc (which, speaking of the DNS numbers, are they required?)

Re: [newbie] Star Office
x86 is a type of processor, specifically Intel-compatible (also include AMD). You have one, so don't worry about it. Yes, you can download it. It comes in a .tar.gz file if I remember correctly.

Then type "./setup" and a really cool GUI screen will come up to walk you through the rest of the installation. It's really quite impressive, almost as if you are installing a Windows program.

First make sure imwheel is on your computer, by typing "rpm -q imwheel" and seeing if something comes up. If you do have it, scrolling for the most part should work. Also make sure that you don't have "Emulate three buttons" on. To see if you do, as root type "setup" and select the mouse configuation utility.

Re: [newbie] OK, KPPP connect, but Now What?
Dear Julien: Yes, you absolutely must get the DNS numbers: Primary and Secondary. First type the first number, then click on Add, then the second number and click on Add. You'll see both numbers in the box below. then check on "Disable all other DNS servers" at the bottom of the screen. I am just an ordinary user, but if you have actually connected and have downloaded anything (250 bytes), then it seems that you do have a winsock.dll incompatibility.
