[newbie] Xisdnload
Hi all Do any of the people with ISDN dialups here use xisdnload? I have noticed that, when I have it running and I am online, a switch to text (ctrl-alt-f6) will work, but switching back (ctrl-alt-f7) often leaves me with a black screen. Only thing that helps is Ctrl-Alt-Del, after which things shut down nicely (I can tell by the disk sounds). As soon as the system boots again, display starts showing letters and numbers again. Anyone run into this same problem?

Re: [newbie] Using Mandrake's GUI install components after install?
[snip] Which version of DiskDrake do you have? And does it work well? The version I have is the one that came with Mandrake 7.0 originally, and it trashes everything on the hard drive (except the partitions!) when I use it. [snip] HadrianI don't know the version number, but it came with mdk 7.1. I have not used it except during the installation of mdk 7.1 and then only to assign mount points to partitions that already existed. Alan
Re: [newbie] KDE's Trash Can
Benjamin Sher wrote: Dear friends: I have been using KDE for over a year now, beginning with Red Hat 6.0, then Linux Mandrake 6.1, then Linux Mandrake 7.0 and now Linux Mandrake 7.1. Very pleased, all in all. Yet, one thing that continues to mystify me is the Trash can. My KDE 1.1.1 manual tells me that you can drag n drop files from the File Manager into the Trash can. Well, that' s no different and actually more cumbersome than going into an xterm and typing rm file.xxx. Okay, I am willing to accept that as a graphical way of doing it. What I would REALLY like to know is if there is a way for the KDE Trash to function the way it the Recycle Bin does in Windows: that is, to help you save a file that you ACCIDENTALLY deleted. Now that would be something. In Windows 95 and above, any file you inadvertently delete is not actually deleted but dumped in the Recycle Bin, from which you can always retrieve it. Similarly in Win3.1, by using Sentry, you can retrieve lost files. Can KDE's Trash do the same? Will it be able to do it in KDE2? Is there any way to do this in LM 7.1? Does the new Reiser File System have anything to do with this? We all know how easy it is to inadvertently lose a file, especially if you are a newbie and especially if you have come from Windows and are used to having the Recycle Bin rescue you from your mistakes. If this key function is not yet available in Linux, it certainly ought to be. At least in my opinion. And especially for user-friendly distros, including the one I am using, Linux Mandrake. Thanks so much for listening. Benjamin -- Hi Benjamin, (I don't know if I mentioned it, but that's my son's name also!) I don't know if you've noticed but you can right-click on any file and select 'move to trash' (it's right above 'delete'). Personally I rather like that you don't have to first delete and then empty the recycle bin. You're actually creating the file again in another directory. How many times do you really need to be asked 'do you *REALLY* want to delete this file???' Have fun, Mike
Re: [newbie] Dual fs's on a Zip drive?

I have mine setup where you (as root) can right-click on the Zip icon and pick either fs type. However, my user account can not do this, because you must be su to use mount. It will only allow my user access to the fs type in the /etc/fstab file. (the user,noauto option in the fstab zip entry line). Thanks, as always! ;-) -- /\ DarkLord \/ I don't think that you can because you're actually mounting one block device. You would somehow have to create two partitions on the one block device and I think you would be running into to many problems. Why not just make the whole thing dos and you would be able to access it from both windows and linux? Am I understanding your question correctly? Mike
