Re: [newbie] Partitioning questions
erm...I have no boot partition with lilo, a 2gi /partition and no home partition. Works through. I store a lot of data of my other hard drive which is full of fat32. It is weird, it wont do linux and it will not boot windows. I think it has a bad cilender. I found an alternative boot loader to lilo or grub, and this makes linux a bit more reliable by preventing windows from doing anything to it. Its calld the-switch-I-put-in-the-power-cables.

RE: [newbie] i486 install problem
Hello, Its the first time i write to this list, actually I subscribed yesterday, and after just a couple of hours I found the solution to my problem. And I didn't even ask for help!!! I also had this 'signal 11' error problem with the instalation. I was starting to think that the linux cd was bad, I got it with a Pc magazine. I went to this link that Tom suggested (http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/)and I really didn't understand much about it, I'm new to Linux and not really very experienced with computers in general although I love them. So I did the only thing that I knew I was able to do, from what was listed in that page, and it worked, I was really surprised that the solution was so easy. This is what I did: Entered Bios Setup and changed RAM timing to 70 ns instead of 60 ns as it was by default. I reset with the startup floppy (which I made with Rawrite in Dos) and the Mandrake CD in their respective drives, and Linux started with the instalation. I was so happy.. I just wanted to tell you in case this could help someone with the same problem. I also have to say that my PC is an old Pentium 133 mhz, with 24 mgs Ram, and 2 HD drives (one of them only for Linux, and the other for Win98, both 1,2 Gigs.)

[newbie] Great Networking Surprise
Group, Just messing with Mandrake 7.1 on Peer to Peer with an NT4.0 box with access to Internet. I have Wingate 3.01 running on WinNT and almost effortlessly, my Linux machine can connect to internet using my Wingate proxy server. Wow..! I have to say, this 7.1 is a huge improvment over RH 5. Can someone give me the basics on how to get Apache running on my peer-peer? I think it may be a WinNT problem, I cannot resolve my Linux box's IP address when runnning netscape on my NT box.

Re: [newbie] laptops
>From some of your responses it sounds like there are more than a few good laptops out there for running Linux. Are 6.0 gigs of harddrive and 32 megs of memory enough for running Linux Mandrake and Windows easily? Would I be better off getting at least 64 megs of memory and 10 or more gigs of harddrive? Will Mandrake 7.0 or 7.1 be easier to install and use on a laptop? I am looking for a laptop that installs Mandrake without a problem, detects everything, and everything else works fine, too. I need a dual boot system with Windows, too. Is Partition Magic in 7.1? That worked well for me in 7.0 on my desktop. Thank you for your help. Marcia
Re: [newbie] Partitioning questions
Lance, It sounds like our systems are identical. I'm running the same thing. The answers to your questions are simple enough. 1) Win95 will run on any size partition. I've had it running already on a 3.5GB, 5GB, and 13.5GB. No problem. 2) partition your linux partitions thusly: a real basic setup for a large disk sytem that will use LILO as a boot loader. /boot = 15MB / = however big you want to make it. (at least 3 GB) (the filesystem root) /home = at the very least 500MB - more if you're going to have more than one user You don't have to worry about 'how' the installation process knows how to put everything where it needs to go. For now you'll you have to take it on faith. It knows exactly where to put things. It can see and read the partition tables, understands the table definitions and loads things up accordingly. If you don't want to use LILO you can use the other boot loader called GRUB which doen't require a /boot partition since it's equiped to handle cylinder sizes above 1024. LILO can't see beyond this which is why a large disk needs to be partitioned with a /boot partition. Even with the use of Grub I still prefer to setup a /boot partition because it allows, in my opinion, the system to boot faster and more efficiently. Be ABSOLUTELY sure to create a 'boot' disk while you're installing Mandrake. In the event that something happens to your boot loader, or you're working on windows and wipe your MBR, where LILO and GRUB live, you will need that boot disk to be able to get back into Linux and reinstall your boot loader program. If you need any more assistance don't hesitate to holler. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** <_||_> in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Sat, 19 Aug 2000, Lance Dow wrote: > Hi there > > In spite of all the horror stories I've been reading here in this forum > over the last couple of weeks, I've decided to install Linux-Mandrake 7.1 > on my PC. > > In preparation for this event I've been doing a lot of RTFM-ing (reading > manuals and HOWTOs, for those who need a translation).

[newbie] Re: [expert] reiser fs ? (was: Unexplained crashes)
Doug, I don't see why it couldn't. I've never tried it, but i would think that if this utility can see the Linux partition, which is ext2, and the Reiser file system is 'still' and Unix style file system, I don't foresee any troubles doing so. I haven't bothered to become aquainted with the reiser Fs primarily because I've found the ext2 FS that Mandrake installs with by default to be a very robust, hardy, and resiliant file system. It has recovered very gracefully from several instances of being brought down hard and cold by power outages cause mostly to severe weather in our area, and a few times from my wife tripping the breaker with her monster vacuum cleaner. This morning being the most recent. It doesn't even flinch. when the I power it back up it goes through the FSCK, makes sure everything is there and goes on as if nothing ever happened. RedHat was never able to recover this way. I absolutely LOVE Mandrake Linux. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** <_||_> in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 > Can Explorext2 read/write reiser fs from Win98?

[newbie] Partitioning questions
Hi there In spite of all the horror stories I've been reading here in this forum over the last couple of weeks, I've decided to install Linux-Mandrake 7.1 on my PC. In preparation for this event I've been doing a lot of RTFM-ing (reading manuals and HOWTOs, for those who need a translation). One idea that appeals to me is having separate partitions for /, /boot, /home, etc. While the FMs are full of useful detail, they all seem to *just* fall short of answering my question. So I turn to the Linux-newbie brains trust for assistance. Right. I have a 13.6G disk drive which I want to set up as a dual-boot system. Once I've got Linux running, I plan to copy the Windows files from my existing drive onto the FAT32 partition of the new drive. My Windows system currently has a 3.2G disk partitioned as 2G and 1.2G (roughly). I have a lot of spare room on this so I think I can get by with a single 3G FAT32 partition on the new disk. [On reflection, this might not work as I'm still using Win95. I seem to recall this not being able to handle partitions over 2G.] So, with around 10G at my disposal for Linux, my first question is "How big do I need to make the individual partitions to use this space efficiently and effectively?" The second question is, having created all these partitions, how does the install program know which is which, so that what needs to go into /home (for example) actually goes to the right partition? As a Linux newbie I'm likely to want to install everything that comes with the distro, and probably install and try lots of other stuff as the months go by. I'd like to create an environment that doesn't make this any more difficult than it needs to be. For what it's worth my current system is three years old and uses an AMD K6 233 with 64M of RAM. I expect to upgrade it in the next few months to something like an Athlon 700 with maybe 128M of RAM. I look forward to your learned responses. Thanks in advance. Regards (Another) Lance

[snip] KenI don't have any accounts except my own and root (and I don't log in as root as I do system maintainance as 'su -') so I can't speak from personal experience on this problem but I believe you ought to check the permissions of your /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel file. It should be owned by root.root and the permissions should be set at 6755. The Application icons in each of the Autostart directories should be owned by the user (like ken.ken or wife.wife) and the permissions set to 644. Hope this helps. Alan

Re: [newbie] star office pluggins
hey, for java you need the JDK1.1.8 from www.blackdown.org. Only this environment works under 5.2. Install the tar-archive somewhere under /usr/lib/. Then in the Star-Office Explorer there is a bookmark for setting up the java-environment. Mark the Java JDK 1.1.8in the upcomming window, if you have another environments installed, and click OK. Thats it. -- Veit Waltemath [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01896 Pulsnitz / Sa -Germany

Hi, Does anyone know of how I can get the Star Office browser to accept Java and Flash web pages in it's browser. When in graphical mode I usually use the integrated desktop to do everything, however though the browser seems to be super quick there is no support for either Java or Flash? Cheers in advance Andrew
RE: [newbie] Mandrake no detecta mi tarjeta de red ni de sonido
Awe es una Soundblaster awe 64. Los drivers son los mismos, el problema es que el DrakConf no detecta ninguna tarjeta, y no se por qué. Tengo todo exactamente igual que mi amigo. Pienso que es un bug de Mandrake. ¿Puede ser eso?
Re: [newbie] 7.1 Hangs on Boot - Dell Laptop
I remember using 7.0 on an old NEC laptop with an attached monitor. It wasn't my comp though, so I don't know if any special configuration needs to be done. To try and fix your problem, I'd suggest booting in runtime level 3 when you do your install, so that X doesn't automaticallly start, and you can mess around with your settings. As for getting the official distro (ie. The Box) you don't really need it. The disc that came with MaxLinux is the same as the Mandrake 7.1 you'd get in a box. The only other differences are the Tech Support (which I found COMPLETELY pathetic...you're better off mailing this list), and the "Goodies" CD's that accompany the distro. You'll also get a quasi-useful manual. But again, you're probably better off buying "SAMS Linux-Mandrake in 24 hours" as a more complete look at the Mandrake distrobution. > I got the CD in the current issue of Maximum Linux.

Each user including root has there own hidden bashrc file in their home directory. However a user cannot run the command ifup ppp0 or at least not on my system, therefore I placed it in the, what I presumed was system wide configuraton, /etc/bashrc as I intended it to initiate the dial up once root had logged in and the getty handed over to the bash shell. Would not placing it into /etc/rc.d/rc.local bring up the dial tone before logging in and if so how would that work as no-one, not even root has logged in? I think I might try that and see. Andrew
[newbie] 7.1 Hangs on Boot - Dell Laptop
I got the CD in the current issue of Maximum Linux. The install seemed to go fine (although it did not stop at the make boot disk step). I configured X to use my monitor (NEC Multisync XV14). When the system reboots, the monitor is not activated and the LCD panel goes blank and Linux never comes up. Will 7.1 use a laptop with a monitor attached? Should I just get the official distribution from Mandrake? Thanks
