Re: [newbie-it] Come partizionare l'HD senza perdere informazioni?
Certo!!! Prova a cercare FIPS2.0. C'è in tutti i CD Mandrake. Serve per dividere un Hd FAT16/32 in due senza perdere i dati!! Oppure se vuoi spendere un po di soldi compra Partition Magic 5.. Se non trovi FIPS fammi sapere che te lo mando io. Non tiene molto. On dom, 28 mag 2000 19:40:50 Matteo Merlin wrote: Ciao a tutti!

Lo dovresti trovare nella directory "dosutils" di una distribuzione qualunque; nella stessa directory dovresti trovare anche restorrb.exe. Io ho copiato questi due file in un dischetto avviabile (cioè formattato col comando DOS format a:/s). Poi ho fatto un defrag del disco fisso, in modo da accumulare tutti i dati all'inizio dell'unità. Infine ho fatto fare il boot dal dischetto creato prima e al prompt di dos ho lanciato FIPS. Se fips rileva dello spazio libero all'interno della partizione Windows, allora puoi indicare le dimensioni della nuova partizione e fips ridimensionerà la partizione originaria per far posto alla nuova. Personalmente non ho fatto alcun backup, ma sarebbe meglio non essere "azzardosi" come me...se puoi, non rischiare!! Ciao, Davide

Re: [newbie] Colors
BambiI suppose, I've not tried it that way because when you create a new user it assigns the ownership to .kderc as user.user. The root.root ownership of .kderc only occurred when creating new users during the 7.0 installation.

Re: [newbie] kppp wierdness]
AndrewI believe that I've heard of this happening when someone's chosen one of the higher security levels. The system senses a new user when the phone connection is made (the ip address of ppp0 changes to whatever the isp assigned) and therefore does not allow any of the normally accessable programs to be launched. When the connection goes away, then all becomes normal again. So I believe that possibly re-setting the system security level might solve your problem. Anyway, I hope this leads you in a positive direction towards solving your problem. Alan Andrew Scotchmer wrote: On Thu, 03 Jul 2036, you wrote: Yo Andrew, Your problem may not be a "kppp" problem at all.

Netscape was only an example. What happens is nothing opens. I click on say my home directory and nothing happens. I click on the console and nothing happens. When I go to the menu and choose anything, say a game, nothing happens, yet using the /sbin/ifup command everything is fine. It is not only netscape it is the whole desktop that doesn't respond when connecting with kppp. I've checked my DNS IP configuration and all is fine. -- Andrew

When I started out with Linux (Redhat 5.0), I got myself a book called 'The Official RedHat 5 Linux guide'. A lot of things are explained in that, including RPM's. By the way: RPM stands for Redhat Package Manager. Another mystery solved. Is there a listing of programs and RPM's decoded into something that will enable me to determine the purpose? or do I have to search them out one by one, only to discover that the program is not something I have a use for? Run GnoRPM or Kpackage. You will find a nice tree-structure on the left. Click around a bit and on the right you will see a description of the purpose of the program. Including an uninstall button at your service, so if you don't like the program you can whop it away then and there.

SAMBA is a general knowledge thing in the computer world, not specifically Unix. It is a tool to hook up windowze and Unix machines. Something about the program names to get used to, indeed. But again, on the above URL's you can find them. Look them up and read more. Originally Unix was a system that was only used by developers, and created by developers. Fast, simple, short commands. rm, cd, grep, nroff, which, vi, sed, su, those are some examples. I guess it has become a tradition for Unix-minded people to stay away from the Micro$oft naming conventions for programs a bit, to make a difference. To that, these programs are not commercial. THey are written by people who just have fun in writing programs and giving them away (that IS what they do). So if I had fun in writing a program called Wobbly that does some calculations, that is my prerogative. No business would probably get that, but then, a company BUYS stuff (normally).

The descriptions are invaluable. The actual layout of the RPMs could use some work though. Maybe alphabetical? or at least alphabetical in subdivisions? Something. I'll think about it and say more later. on a similar note, Kpackage is full of information and easy to use too. KSCD is great. I hate MP3s.

Killustrator is adobe illustrators downs syndrome littel brother. But the very fact that it exists gives me hope! I use netscape 4.72 which I had to download and install myself. I don't telnet or ftp or IRC or anything else. Strictly a WWW kind of person. So most of the internet goodies are useless to me now. I will probably change my mind in the future. KFM is a pretty good browser in a pinch too. Mandrake update tool is great and so is Ktop. Kruiser (KDE Explorer) is really cool and useful too. Why didn't mandrake make its existence more obvious? It is so damn useful! The SU filemanager and terminal programs are extremely useful. I love not having to log into root to move files around in my httpd directory! Apache rocks. I have a suggestion for mandrake. Add a utility called Webmin. It is awesome. Here is the URL http://www.webmin.com/ I downloaded staroffice and the java stuff for it. I have DSL so I don't mind an 80 meg download. I am sure others would appreciate having it on the CD. Strangely I find SO to be a bit too windows like for my tastes but it does what it does well.

[newbie] Linux Installation (need advice)
I have 2 hard disk, one dedicated to Windows and the other one, new. Have not been partitioned nor formatted by either Windows or Linux. And, I plan to install Linux on my new disk. I have two queries regarding installation. 1) I plan to disconnect my Windows disk and setup the new disk as 'Master' and install Linux. I will use a 'boot disk' to load Linux and will not install LILO. Once I install and setup everything under Linux, I will reconnect my Windows disk (as Master) and connect my Linux disk (as slave). My question is this, since I installed Linux w/ the disk as 'Master' and now that I have reconnected my Windows disk and set Linux disk to 'Slave' would the 'boot disk' recognize that Linux is now the slave drive (since I installed everything w/ the disk as 'Master')? Or, I should do some editing in the 'boot disk'? 2) I will setup the new disk as 'Slave' and when the section mount point and partitioning comes in Linux installation, I dedicate the whole 2nd disk. Thus, I will let Mandrake do the partitioning and formatting of the new 2nd hard disk. Again, I will only use 'boot disk' to boot to Linux and will say 'No' in LILO option. Question: In this procedure, should I presume that Linux will not do any changes or save something in the Windows disk? I will start installing once I get this clear.

Re: [[newbie] Discussion: Changes Found in Mandrake 7.1
P.S. IMHO any newbie who downloads their first install of Linux instead of buying a documented package is truly nuts, and is asking for big problems, but this has nothing to do with the particular disto or version as it applies to them all. Heh, then I guess I'm certifiably nuts : ) I debated between gettting the packaged version or just a plain CD, and I went with the plain CD. I just got through by reading a whole whole lot (most of the manual is online, and I bought a small Linux book along with the CD), and reinstalling a whole lot after I'd screw up. But I did eventually get it right, and I've been running this same "version" for about 5 months now. It was definitly a learning experiance, and if I had to do it all over again, I'd probally still pick the CD since I've probally learned a lot more than I would have if I stuck with the packaged version. -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent.

Try changing the order of the dimms in the sockets maybe with the biggest capacity dimm in slot 1 and see if linux sees more. In any case to use more than 64M do the following...
Re: [newbie]
I can't install Linux Mandrake 7.0 on an Ultra66 (www.promise.com) drive. Linux becomes unable to find any hard drives. I can install it on my IDE onboard controller hard drive, but then it won't recognize my U66 drive. But I want to get it well! I want Linux to recognize and find anything. I want Linux to work for me and for the Humanity!!! I want that Linux has all the features and more than that FUCKING ÂÌÑÄØ windows... I want Linux to work just as it was thought to... And I wonder why there are so little music programs for Linux. Such an impression that Linux is for hackers only. Please remove this impression! Make Linux as friendly as it must be. The friendlier the system, the better the world! You are comparing apples to oranges. Win/dos is a completely different OS as compared to Linux so it's not fair to ask why something will work in one and not the other. You haven't given us much to work on here did you get Linux installed or did you get an error saying that it can't find your hard drive during install? Help is available just let me know where your at. Jay

Re: [[newbie] Discussion: Changes Found in Mandrake 7.1
charles, it's an oemmer for sure and when i called panasonic they said it was too new for the drivers to be on their website. My source(computer123) promised manual, cables Adaptec cd and a 10 pack of recordable media which they provided with the exception of the manual. Windows won't recognize it; Linux will, but only to read from...caveat emptor i guess... =michael=
[newbie] Re: Linux on 2nd HD
Edison I have installed on a 2nd hd with Lilo and also without Lilo and booted from a disk either way works. When you install Mandrake it will make No changes to your Windows drive unless you tell it to make them. If you want to set your new drive as your only drive, install Linux then reattach your Windows drive as master you can but it isn't necessary. Also if you choose to install by this means you will need to start the Mandrake install using a Windows Startup disk inorder to load drivers for your CD-Rom and mouse. As long as you have only one version of Linux installed on 1 hd, wheather that drive is set to master or slave will not effect using your Linux "boot disk". I hope this clarifies the questions you had. Charles - Original Message - From: "Edison Gica" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 29, 2000 3:55 AM Subject: Linux on 2nd HD Hi Charles: Just a query about ur installing the Linux on a 2nd hd. U said that u selected the 2nd hd in the mount partition option under Recommended (right?) and used LILO. My question is if I only use the boot disk to load to Linux and say no to LILO installation then Linux won't do any changes whatsoever in my Windows drive? WEll, at this point I don't want to disturb my Windows disk. I was also thinking of disconneting my Windows disk and setup my 2nd HD (it's new have not been partitioned nor formatted by either Windows or LInux) as a 'Master' drive and install Linux, etc. Then reconnect my Windows drie and setup the Linux drive as a 'slave'. However I am not sure if the 'boot disk' that was created would recognize the Linux drive since it is now setup as a 'slave' drive and during the installation it was setup as a "master' drive? What do you think? Well, as long as Linux will not touch my Windows drive when I select the 2nd HD mount point then I would proceed to do so. Linux not touching my windows drive is under the condition that I will not install LILO but will use 'boot disk ' to boot to Linux. By the way, how can u stop or terminate the installation in the process? Just turn off the computer's power? Won't it corrupt the disk? Thanks and hope to hear from u soon. regards, edison
Re: [newbie] KDE Theme Manager
Pete, check out the messages entitled 'colors'. I was having the same problem until Alan helped me out. Glenn Johnson "Pete Q. Lee" wrote: Hi, Linux users, I know this is not a big problem but I cannot change the KDE theme entirely when I login as a user. When I change the theme, windows itself still stays at silver color no matter which theme I choose. Other than that everything changes as it supposed to be. However, I can change it all when I login as root. Any ideas? Pete,
