RE: [newbie] Which Windows mail client is best for compatibility?
Hi, I am looking to use email clients with compatible email file format. The reason is that many a times, people I know would write personal emails to me using my office account. And since I have a habbit of keeping personal emails (instead of deleting them), I want to be able to put them (for example) in one Outlook .pst file and bring them home to archive. The problem with this is that it seems to me Outlook's file format is pretty incompatible with NetscapeMail. :( I have looked at Mahogany, but the Win32 version is, IMHO, quite unpolished.

[newbie] Second window partition no longer available bug
I am planning to install Mandrake 7.1 on my PC on my second 8 GB HD. My second HD only contains one 8 GB DOS extended partition which already contains several logical DOS partitions. Using Partition Magic I have moved them all to the beginning of the extended partition leaving enough room for Linux at the end of the partition. I am worried because of the messages I have seen and the reported install bug listed in http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/heliumlast.php3 as "Second window partition no longer available". I do not quite understand if this will apply to my setup described above (that is that I will not be able to access my FAT logical partitions in that extended partitions) or if I am safe.

Re: [newbie] Seeking Tutorial on compiling Kernel
I know what you mean. The real fun part is when something goes wrong and you have to figure out what it is and how to fix it. I've done that serveral times. One time I had the kernel about where you're descibing and I was going after that last 1%. Well, :) , When I rebooted after "thinking" I had gotten that last bit I got a kernel panic and things went south real fast from there. It took me about two hours to get it un-hosed from there, but I got it. That's when I learned about how you can over-lay an installation of Linux over top of the older one. As long as they're the same version "usually" only the system files get over-written. It worked quite nicely for me and saved my bacon! I'm much more careful these days when I do anything with the kernel. I make sure I back things up like the old kernel and it's support files and what-nots. That makes installing the "old" kernel much less painless if the need arises. -- Mark I love my Linux Box... REASON # 2 ...X-windows is just a suedonym.

[newbie] Installing GRUB
Hello all, I have recently installed Linux-Mandrake 7.0 on my system, making it a dual boot system. I have a 7gb partition for Linux and the rest of my 15gb partitoin is used for winbloz. When I installed Linux, I used Partition Magic to partition my drive, and I then installed Boot Magic to use as my boot loader instead of Linux. When I set up Boot Magic, It was unable to see my Linux partiton, but I left it alone and continued to install Linux. When I got Linux installed and got to the screen about loading LILO, I was told that my boot record was not fully below the 1024 cylinder level so LILO would be unable to load. Now with the install complete, the only way I can boot into Linux is with my boot disk. My question is, can I install GRUB (the next version of LILO) to remedy my problem? If I can, how would I go about installing it? Can I download it without downloading all of Linux-Mandrake 7.1? I really appreciate any help anyone can give. thanks in advance!

This might happen if you put it in your autostart folder. A recent post about putting the imwheel command in the Xsession script might be a better idea for this option.

[newbie] Problem with INET Services
Hi, all -- I want to use FTP and TELNET with one of our servers, and I have started INETD. When I try to FTP or TELNET to the server, I get a "connect" message (at least with FTP), and then after about 10 seconds a notice that the connection with the host has been lost. Can you advise me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Re: [newbie] Second window partition no longer available bug
Are you sure? I ask because I presently have TurboLinux which I installed within that extended partition.

Re: [newbie] mouse driver and CD-ROM problems
Hi Roman, Wow. It looks like a nice mouse...Try replacing the Generic Mouse PS/2 with a Generic Serial Mouse first. If that does not work, replace it with the MS Intellimouse serial. Have you checked to see if it is a serial mouse or USB? MDK7.1 has addressed several USB issues I have a fairly good book on Upgrading and Repairing PCs - Linux Version. I will access as much information as possible to get your mouse working. Next we will work on the CDROM and floppy. Could you provide me with some extra information: 1. How do you have your hard drive drive configured? 2. Are you using more that one drive? 3. Which is the first master and which is the slave? 4. If you have two drives are they connected to two different bus lines? 5. Is you CDROM daisy chained? If I can envision the setup in my mind, it would make it easier to find isolate the culprit. I may reinstall MDK7.0 to see my previous installation. By the way, when you get any message, error message i.e. selecting the CDROM, can you please write down the exact message. This would be a great idea to consider ICUII video for Linux. This way, I could see the inside of you computer. I will be speaking with you soon.

Registered Linux User -#179293 Roman Korcek wrote: Hey Romanator, Hmmm...I used to have MDK7.0 installed but I am using MDK7.1 which offers a button called MouseDrake to change your mouse driver. Don't have such a thing (MouseDrake), at least I don't think so. When you pressed Cntrl+Alt+Backspace, were you able to see your mouse pointer? I see my mouse pointer, it even behaves normally most of the time. But sometimes the pointer starts jumping around the screen and clicking randomly. That happens for about half a second, but can get me upset if it happens to click in a way that it closes two windows and presses "ok" in another one. I've had the same problem in Windows with my old mouse and there it helped to switch from 3-button mode to 2-button mode. This is unfortunately impossible with this new mouse, because there is no switch for it. Therefore I would like to select another driver. Maybe MS intellimouse or try something else or every driver, just not use the one I am using now (Generic Mouse PS/2). Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the "WinMouse 4D+" a.k.a. "WWW-11". You can get a picture here http://www.a4tech.com/4dplus.html . It is the first mouse, named "www-11". If it helps ;-) I have some more questions: You mentioned that you have no re-login, login as another user, login as root, login in console mode, login to KDE? No... you asked me if it still happens after relogin. And I named all those things which *don't* help. It does not help to relogin, to login as root etc. - neither of them solves my mouse problem. Did the mouse action go weird on you after changing the sensitivity? No. I was saying that all I found in MDK to change mouse properties was the sensitivity and threshold setting. I found no mouse driver selection setting. Is your mouse function completely dead? No. It just behaves very weird about every minute. And, do you still have your CD icons on the virtual desktop? I have the "CD-ROM" icon on my desktop. When I click on it, I hear and see my *FLOPPY DRIVE* being accessed, and I get the message "Can't access /mnt/cdrom" (or something the like, I can't remember exactly now). The CD doesn't do anything.

Well, :) , When I rebooted after "thinking" I had gotten that last bit I got a kernel panic and things went south real fast from there.

Re: [newbie] How do I start INETD?
Hi -- Depending on how 7.1 works (I'm assuming it works like 7.0, which I have), you click on DrakConf as root and then on Startup. Choose the packages (in your case inetd) you want to start. They should start. You can also invoke LinuxConf and go to local file systems on the control tab and choose Control Service Activity. Click on INETD and choose to start it OR to enable it. This should solve your problem.

Re: [newbie] Seeking Tutorial on compiling Kernel
Roman, There are probably 1-2 ways that I've seen to do this. I've found the best and easiest ways are documented in the Kernel-HOWTO and the Firewall-HOWTO...or was that the IP-chains-HOWTO...at any rate, check out for sure the kernel HOWTO and take a look in both of the other two. One of the other two give some great build commands for doing a kernel. I don't mean to be confusing but I'm fairly certain it was the... Sorry about that. I just checked to make sure and you'll find the info you need to do a kernel in the Kernel-HOWTO and the Firewall HOWTO.

The real fun part is when something goes wrong and you have to figure out what it is and how to fix it. I've done that serveral times. One time I had the kernel about where you're descibing and I was going after that last 1%. Well, :) , When I rebooted after "thinking" I had gotten that last bit I got a kernel panic and things went south real fast from there. It took me about two hours to get it un-hosed from there, but I got it. That's when I learned about how you can over-lay an installation of Linux over top of the older one. As long as they're the same version "usually" only the system files get over-written. It worked quite nicely for me and saved my bacon! I'm much more careful these days when I do anything with the kernel. I make sure I back things up like the old kernel and it's support files and what-nots. That makes installing the "old" kernel much less painless if the need arises. -- Mark I love my Linux Box... REASON # 2 ...X-windows is just a suedonym.

Re: [newbie] Which Windows mail client is best for compatibility?
according to: http://devel-home.kde.org/~kmail/download.html there is a tool for converting OE files to unix mbox format. I don't use OE or Outlook so i can't speak to them other choices might be: 1) use netscape mail at work. 2) from work e-mail yourself at home. then at home use whatever MUA meets your fancy to read the mail you forwarded to yourself. good luck... -- Keith Robinson On Tue, 11 Jul 2000, you wrote: Hey Viboon, I am now using Windows at work and Linux at home.

Re: [newbie] install problem: recognizing partitions
I am a first time LINUX installer and I also have a similar problem. I have a 3G and a 10G Maxtor and Phoenix BIOS EPP rev 3.00 dated 10/05/95. I'm using a 7G ext2 partition on the 10G drive to load Mandrake 7.1. When I tried the complete install (Automatic), I could not even complete the install. I moved to custom and was able to complete the install, but on reboot I had a kernel panic, and an error stating that /root could not be mounted. In addition, when it was time to change CDs, I could not get the CD to open. It is a Mitsumi CD ROM. I had video problems too, but worked that out. Mike
