[newbie-it] Server IRC e ICQ e Libero...
Salve a tutti! Io ho sottoscritto abbonamenti internet con diversi provider, ho sempre usato principalmente Tiscalinet e non ho mai avuto problemi particolari; ora, tuttavia, mi accorgo che con alcuni provider, pur riuscendo a viaggiare in rete senza problemi, risulta impossibile utilizzare ICQ o le chat IRC... Ho notato che questo accade con quei fornitori di accesso che non comunicano esplicitamente i DNS da inserire manualmente in sede di configurazione... E' quel che accade, per esempio, con Libero... La mia analisi è corretta, è questa la causa? E comunque, come posso risolvere il problema? Grazie per l'aiuto! Corrado
[newbie-it] Informazioni su MD5SUM e l'immagine iso di mandrake 7.1
Ciao, ho appena finito di scaricare l'immagine MANDRAKE71-INST.ISO. Ma appena verificato il checksum con md5sum non ho ottenuto il risultato sperato... :( infatti la chiave presente sul file md5sums che ho prelevato dalla directory del server ftp.unina.it non corrisponde a quella da me ottenuta con il comando "md5sum mandrake71-inst.iso" Devo per forza buttar via 70.000 circa di connessioni? Io ho già provato a masterizzare l'immagine in questione con Easy CD creator e tutto è andato bene... ho provato ad iniziare l'installazione e tutto procede senza nulla di problematico fino alla scelta delle partizioni (poi sono uscito perché non avevo intenzione di installare subito mandrake 7.1)... E' possibile che la chiave non corrispondente possa essere determinata dal fatto che mentre scaricavo il file ho utilizzato un po' W98 un po' LINUX e soprattutto shiftavo tra vari server? Vorrei inoltre chiedere se veramente a qualcuno la chiave ottenuta con md5sum corrispondeva davvero con quella sul server da cui hanno scaricato il file immagine... Grazie davvero e alla prossima!!

Re: [newbie] Partitioning for Win98 and Linux
You can always do the install and boot Linux from a floppy or upgrade to 7.1 and use GRUB as the bootloader. It does not suffer from the 1024 error.You can also move Windows to the end of the drive, it will boot from anywhere and install Mandrake on the first 10GB. One other note. You did not say what brand hd or which tool you used to formatt. If you used a floppy supplied with the drive then you will most likly get the 1024 error regardless of where you install LILO.

Re: [newbie] Suggestions for an email client
O.K., time to jump in and stir things up a bit ;) You want about the same things I would want from a decent mail client. Netscape is a PITA, and I haven't gotten it to work right w/ 7.1, it gripes about permissions, regardless of what they are set to. FWIW, if you use fetchmail, it doesn't much matter if Netscape doesn't natively handle multiple POP3 accounts, the way I see it. But that's not the point here. My point here is that the kmail that comes with LM 7.1 is 'broken'. It is several versions old; the latest 'stable' is 1.0.29-2, LM 7.1 ships w/ 1.0.28. kmail managed to mangle more than a few emails incoming, giving them 'No Subject', etc. The latest version, 1.1.x, which comes w/ KDE 2.0Beta 2, has threading, and is supposedly much improved. But if you subscribe to the kmail list, and check out the bugs still being reported, I personally find it hard to seriously consider kmail for real use. The other choices are Mahogany, CSCmail, XFMail (and it's new gtk incarnation Archimedes), Balsa, etc. I find it kinda odd that there is really only one native KDE mail client. For now, I am sticking w/ pine, and looking forward to v.4.31 or so, when it gets threading. Monte __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

I would love to see it do the "viewport" mode listed in the man pages, but I can't quite seem to get the syntax down pat. Do you have to create your own user.cfg file (and where does it go?) because I can't find one with it. Also, I have my control and caps-lock keys remapped, but Eterm reverses them, each and every time its run. (so its not a major prob.-I just rerun it to fix it, but...) ;-) Thanks! ;-)

Re: [newbie] Booting from CD at install?

Please upgrade to drakxtools-1.0-44mdk.i586.rpm if you want to resize FAT partition. For a new install, a new ISO image mandrake70-2.iso is available for download. Other mirrors here. For those who use the former ISO image we build new install floppy disk that fixes the problem (cdrom.img, network.img, hd.img, pmcia.img) These images are incompatible with the new ISO image. Additionnaly this new installation floppy/Iso fix several bugs: Mylex DAC 960 hardware RAID handling auto-configuration bug for Matrox G100 (and some other very seldom used) a few mis-autoconfiguration fix (tulip NIC) one more kind of GeForce video card autodetected My boxed LM 7.0 came with the new boot floppy and a note to not boot from the CD because of this problem. If you are not sure you have the right boot floppy, I'd download the new one from one of the mirrors like: ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/7.00/images/cdrom.img You'll have to read the doc on creating the boot floppy form the .img file. - Ralph On Sun, 25 Jun 2000, John Gist wrote: Getting ready to do my first ever Linux install.

[newbie] 7.1 Install: could not mount CD on /dev/scd0 using Adaptec 1542cf
Hello, I am using an older Intel 440LX based motherboard with a P2-333, 64megs of memory, ATI All-In-Wonder Pro, and Plextor 32x CDROM drive. I have Redhat 6.2 installed on the system without any problem. My friends mention that Mandrake is a better distribution so I thought I would try it. I downloaded the iso image of Mandrake 7.1 (Helium) and burned a CD without problem. The install program can find the Adaptec 1542cf card but I get the error message "I could not mount a CD on device /dev/scd0". If I hit OK the program displays a message about initializing the CD and it just hangs there. I tried the install from win98 (also on the machine) and boot disk (as I cannot boot the CD). When I tried text expert install I see the bootup messages that the driver loaded and it displays the information from the CD-ROM drive. There is no problem when mounting under RH 6.2. I tried mounting manually using /dev/scd0 and it worked. Is there any way to manually break out or abort the install program so I can see why the install is failing? It seems if the install fails I have no recourse to debug or correct it. 73 Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] WB1HBU

I had installed Mandrake 7.0 as the single OS on my box. No problem at all. Then my HD physically crashed and I installed a new one with Windows 98. This new hd is 20Gb big, and initially, when installing Win98 I left only a partition of 10Gb (9.x Gb), the rest of the disk would be for Linux. Then I tried to install Mandrake, but DrakX told me that the partition for Linux is beyond the cylinder 1024, so I quit installation. I surfed the internet to read some howtos, but my confusion grew larger. My question is: can I install Linux without making a /boot partition within the cylinder 1024?

[newbie] Gnucash 1.4 install problems
I have been trying for some time to get this to work, but without any luck. I have tried installing from both the source and with an RPM, and in both cases, it complains about Guile and Readline. I searched the archives on www.gnucash.org and found a "patched" version of Guile to fix whatever the problem was with that, but the Readline issue remains. I have grabbed the latest version from the Cooker mirrors, which didn't help. And also compiled the latest from source... also didn't help. Below is the line that the RPM fails with- "libreadline.so.3 is needed by gnucash-1.4.0-1 " Any help would be appreciated! -- Jeff Lapsley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie] FW: modem says it's busy
Hi, I'm new to the list. I've got background running Solaris on a Sparcstation and I've done installations of Red Hat and Corel Linux but I'm still finding my way around Linux on an Intel box (and I'm lost). I've just gotten a new machine. My old machine had a Winmodem in it so I never had the opportunity to get Linux Internet aware. But the new machine has a Diamond Supramodem 56i and I've just installed Mandrake Linux on it. I've set up a dialup connection but can't get the modem to do its thing. The modem is on ttyS2 (com3 which it is when I'm in Windows). If I set up the modem on any other device it's simply not seen but on this device it returns "busy." Can anyone tell me how to fix this? BTW, the machine is a AMD K6-500 and everything else seems to be working quite well, though I haven't set up sound yet. Would sure like to get it Internet aware. Cheers --- Larry

[newbie] 3com 5610 on Com5
Hi, I have a 3Com 5610 ( USR PCI faxmodem )which is definitely compatible with Linux. I have searched through some of the old usenet messages on this topic, but haven't gotten a thorough explanation on how to make this modem work, because it ( according to Windows ) is on Com5. Using Kppp I can't get it to work. The main responses to this problem involve 2 operations : IRQ and PnP in the BIOS, and setserial in the kernel or within linux somewhere. I went into my Bios and found nothing related to IRQ or PnP ( it said "Phoenix BIOS ). Any ideas? THanks

I have IP forwarding set in the Netcfg for eth0 (setup with DHCP) and the static IP(192.168.x.x)/Mask/BCast set for eth1. All of this is done correctly ( I think), but the "IN" port on the hub is not lighted up with the eth1 cable in the hub. The Win boxes while plugged into the hub have their respective lights lit and are trying to talk to a nonexistant broadcast IP thru the 192.168 network series.
