Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 modem installation
I believe the reason you modem isn't working is that it is a winmodem. During the past couple of years modem manufacturers began producing modems that lacked dedicated processors and instead relied on the computers cpu to do all of the processing. Unfortunatly, these bastardized modems are very hard to provide support for in Linux. I've been stung a couple of times (even with windows support) because quite often these modems come from small manufacturers that are just hoping and praying to ge their company off of the ground.

Re: [newbie] Netscape lockup problems in Mandrake 7.1
Yeah, I've been using Mozilla as my main browser ever since M14. And it's been getting better with every milestone. I'm not sure if you've downloaded the latest nightly build lately, but they've changed the way Mozilla looks again. It's much more blue, and IMHO looks better than it used to. http://binaryfusion.net/screenshots/latest_mozilla.png (90K) for those of yall who don't have the time to download the 7 MB file. Galeon is also really nice for just simple web browsing. It requires Mozilla to be installed on your system, but it only uses it to do the web page rending. The actual browser is MUCH faster and doesn't take up near as many resources as Mozilla does. http://galeon.sourceforge.net/ if you want to check it out. The only times I use Netscape 4.7x now is to go to sites that require SSL logins or Flash, as Mozilla and Galeon don't support that. But I'm so happy that I never touch Netscape 4.7x anymore; I never did like that browser. > > > > Netscrape seems to have more bugs than any other app I use. > > It's been this way ever since AOL took over.

[newbie] Help setting up DSL
I am having troubles getting using my DSL account from my linux box. I have had DSL for a while functioning properly on a windows box. I bought a new machine and am dual booting it with win98 and mandrake 7.1. The different computers access the same DSL line via a hub. Win98 on my new machine works fine with the DSL. To configure it on the linux partition, I used the same settings as found in the windows network applet in the control panel: - same IP (it is a static one) - same netmask - same gateway - same DNS host - same DNS ip addresses - DHCP is disabled I didn't mess with anything else. Also, it seemed to find my 3Com card fine (3c905 10/100). When I type "ifconfig etho" it displays the proper stats of my card. "less /etc/conf.modules" display (what I think) is the proper driver: 3c59x. I didn't mess with any other settings. I cannot successfully ping any site or log onto any web site. I don't getting any errors when restarting inetd or httpd. Any suggestions? Thanks much. -jeff

Re: [newbie] ESS Audio
Are you sure it is not working? I mean, have you enabled system sounds in KDE and turned up the volume for CD players? I'm not sure how to enable sounds in gnome if that is the desktop you are using. Check in KDE control center to see if system sounds is enabled. And click on the small speaker icon on the task bar to see where the volume is set. If you have already done these things, I would go to Konsole and "su" and type in " soundconfig" and try configuring that way. "Julio C.

Re: [newbie] Question about some of Mandrake's install prompts
Mark Most of the Mandrake installation is to your / partition so having 1GB of free space dosen,t mean that you have that much space available for the installation. You are asked how much you want to install because you get a lot of extra programs with any Linux distro. these programs are installed based on their priority/use and upon avaiable space (mbs). A functional Mandrake can be installed in as little as 600mb so really 1GB is not that much extra space. In 7.1 a normal installation is 1.3GB.

I am willing to put in the time to learn but have the concern that many will not - again leaving me with a marginal or orphan OS for which drivers no longer exist and hardware incompatibilities abound (as happened to me with OS/2). I think everyone expects to have to learn new things when using a new OS, it is the need to learn programming syntax just to be able to configure it that is daunting. But I will master that too. I have been using computers since the Apple II days, have used numerous OS's from DOS, Win 3.1 (same thing), OS/2 in several versions, W95/98 and NT as well as having played with some simple programming. However my programming experience is rudimentary and that has been a stumbling block for me with Linux - though one I will overcome in time. In an ideal world there would be a simpler configuration interface for those who wish it while leaving the code visible and _available_ (without taking anything away from) those who would prefer the command line and UNIX syntax. One does not obviate the other. It is my understanding that Linux is moving in that direction anyway, which is logical, and Mandrake is a definite step in that direction especially as to installation.

Depends on your perspective. The typical home user wants something like Mandrake which has a pretty large bag of tricks. A sysadmin on the other hand may like using TurboLinux for his/her clustering solution, eServer for a thin client, and eDesktop for the employees desktops. More to the point of that thread I think that a lot of the dirstros just don't update fast enough to stay on top of all the developments in video/sound drivers and X. Therefore, they aren't really lending themselves as fully to the gaming market as say a Mandrake which tends to have a new version rather frequently. > > Grip can rip, cddb, and then encode for free.

I've done several "taste tests" with a number of people and have yet to find someone who can tell the difference between the 320bit mp3 and the .wav file. Of course, a guy with an oscilloscope may do better ;-) Given that I think the quality of the 320bit mp3 is indestinguishable from the .wav file or cd, the compression is rather nice. A typically 50mb wav file compresses down to about 10mb at 320 which means I can burn anywhere from four to six cs's onto a single cdr. > > Take a look. It's worth it.

Actually, I don't need WC to be baffled by the use of windows. :P WC looks to be a very full featured utility and would appear to be much better then explorer. Perhaps MS should buyout the makers of WC and then incorporate it into the os instead of as an alternative to explorer.

Re: [newbie] MySQL RPMS
Paul, One thing I tried is install it using the RPM manager and PHP did not recognize it. Ie., did not recognize any of the sql commands, ie., mysql_connect(). It did work on it's own, though. So, I took it out and tried manual install and ./config using the instructions. Same. Then I removed PHP and tried to reinstall it with MySQL support using the compile instructions, but it did not find support to MySQL even though I turned on the switch --with-mysql=/dir... (details escape me) but the ./config still crashed looking for the MySQL exececution files. So, still sql'less in seattle.

That should be as follows: when you set things up properly, you can "startx" and that will load the first X server session. You can then switch to tty2 through tty6 by pressing CtrlAltF2 - CtrlAltF6.

It's all really simple with the gui or the text based menu system. You will need to know what the module of the device is so you can add it to the text based menu system if needed.

When I boot into Linux I can use the key combination of Ctrl-Alt-F(n) to open any of the seven desktops but none of these have what I thought. I thought there was icons and task bars so to speak in the KDE desktop, is that right? I hit the F7 option and get two command line windows. I am new to this so maybe that is all you get. If I am wrong maybe somebody could help me out with this. I am running Mandrake 7.0. Thanks for you help in advance ;) Stephen

OK, what I did was boot from a W98 boot disk (not the one w98 creates, just formatted a new one and let it copy system files onto it) and copied fdisk from windows\command and well fdisk didn't see any NON-DOS partition on my drive. That's the funny thing - I have used fdisk for deleting non-dos partitions before, but it just doesn't see the Ext2 partition. Now comes into my mind - could it because of the misbehavior of LILO when installing Linux and it didn't want to install correctly cos of the 1024 cyl. limitation ? But still, I have reinstalled W98 since, so it should have rewritten the partition table (or does it not ?)

Re[2]: [newbie] How to delete an ext2 partition under DOS
Further to my earlier posting - I have just used fdisk (msdos version) under pure dos - "delete non-dos partition'" - to delete the 3 partitions SuSeLinux created on a 400MB harddisk and formatted it under Win95 with no problem. May be you can do that also. But be very careful with which partition you want to delete. Your first posting gave the impression that you only wanted to delete _one_ partition. Good Luck.

To access my regular drive I have to go up (home), up (/), mnt, dos_hda5 to get to my stuff.

By compression I meant that it uses the free zip source from the Info-ZIP group to create .zip files. You just select the files you want to compress, press alt-F5, name your archive and press enter. It also has an internal unarj and uses external archivers for other file types (ACE, UC2, RAR, etc.) BTW: WC also ha

[newbie] ahhhhhhh corrupt partition table
here's what I've done... nt workstation was installed on the pc (not allowed to remove it because of work!) hda1 + hda2 both 4096mb installed mandrake 7.1 all reiserfs except for /boot with was ext2 every thing ran fine.. then i created another reiserfs partition with diskdrake. but didn't get around to mounting it. booted up into nt, and created an extended partition with 1 fat logical drive to share between Linux and nt and formatted it. rebooted into Linux, moved /downloads to /olddownloads started diskdrake, which told me that the partition table was too corrupt. couldn't mount the reiserfs partition mount said that there was a problem reading it probably not formatted). mounted the fat partition as /downloads and moved all the stuff across. rebooted Linux and tried to go into nt, nt loaded came up and told me it couldn't find disk(0)partition(1) or something like that, tried to boot into Linux, kernel came up but couldn't mount root partition. tried mandrake install disk to try and recover the situation it just comes up with No root partition found when setting up filesystems. doing a mount -r -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt from the Linux installer disk says, mount failed: Illegal seek at /usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm linr 209 any clues on how to recover the file system? good Linux/ dos tools for sorting things out.
