[newbie] install hangs with 7.1.
My machine boots from the cdrom (or floppy, same result) and after selecting language, then customised install I have to pick from server, normal etc. When I do this I get a message flashed on the screen for about 1 second "Please wait, configuring IDE". This message goes and my machine locks up, no response to keyboard or mouse, even Crl-Alt Del wont work. Reset is the only answer. My machine is a celeron 300, aopen AX63pro motherboard, 128 MB ram Two quantum 20GB disks, one on the primary of each IDE port, and a Sony CDROM on the secondary of the secondary IDE port. The network is a D-Link card, and the video is a Trio S3 PCI card with 4MG. (not AGP) I believe the hardware is OK, RedHat 6.2 and Caldera 2.3 and windows will load onto this machine OK. Only problem is Mandrake 7.1. I have tried removing all partitions on the two disks, and have also tried with a small dos partition on each. I have looked in the archives but I seem to be the only one with install hangs!! Anyone any suggestions?? Rod

[newbie] SBLive Help
I have a SBLive. The driver installed properly with no errors. However it still will not work. in Sound Drake I get all "-1's", and when I do a "cat /proc/pci" it says that my vidio card, network card, and sound card are all on IRQ 9. I've tried to change the IRQ through the BIOS and then Through windoz. I don't have enough control through the BIOS and windoz says it won't (peice of Crap). Even though I have seen windoz change them from "11" to "7" and finally to "9". Any help would be appreciated. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] netscape backup
> Anybody know how to save mail and bookmarks and transfer to another > system or restore them after reinstall? Netscape bookmarks are stored in bookmarks.html and addressbook(s) with .na extensions. What system do you want to move them too? If it's another Netscape installation (or Explorer) you can read the bookmarks.html as an import file. Addresses should work the same way, though I think you have to use a Windows version of Netscape to do it as it doesnt seem to work with the Linux version. If, on the other hand, you want to move your addresses to another Linux mail program, most of them use simple text files to hold addresses. Thus, the best way to do it is to export your addressbook to text and then use a Perl script to reorganize the info for the new format. Where you moving it to? Cheers --- Larry

Hi Dennis! I tried what you suggested but the card doesn't get recognised (no +). I was thinking maybe I could get it compiled into the kernel somehow. Does that make sense? I tried to do that too, but when I type "make menuconfig" I get a reply "no rule ... blah, blah, blah". I've never been able to figure out how to get the kernel recompiled either.

THe C langue is the defualt (i think it reffers to the fact that the main programming
language is
C
however don't worry thats the default on mine as well ,u can change it using the
Kcontrol centre
icon (the pic with a monitor /card on it)
The other is when you trying to install a set of programs (linux phreaks call these
binarys)
using rpm
(a utility for keeping track of files installed on your system) by the looks of it you
have not
got all the rpms required for the 'wine' installetion.
Best bet install something like mandrake version 7 (FULL install) as this will have
the binarys
your after (90%) another thing you will often need to 'make' binarys from downloaded
scource
code, to do this you need the programming tools installed.
good luck

Re: [newbie] Can't boot into Windows!
John, Using a floppy made by and wih the utilities from the version of Windon't that you have installed (and there are several versions of Win95 alone), booting to the floppy and fdisk /mbr should work. I don't know if it would work on versions after Win98, but on any earlier version it works (be sure to remove the floppy or it will again boot to the floppy). The floppy MUST be MSDOS not Linux. Pardon me for stating the obvious, but one never knows what the person on the other end of the message knows. Did you shrink the Windon't partition? Are you getting any error messages? I'm wondering if you shrunk the partition (you did defrag Win first and didn't cut the end of the occupied section off, right?) to the point that there isn't disk space for Windon't to set up a virtual memory file. -Gary- In a message dated 10/7/2000 7:03:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << recognized anymore.

RE: [newbie] Can't boot into Windows!
With Partition Magic 5.0 you can make a two disk boot set that will allow you to boot from your floppy drive. On those disks, is a version of Dos and the PM program. At boot up, it may tell you that the partition table has a problem, and ask you if you want PM to fix it. I have had it correct such a problem, but THIS IS NOT always the case - -sometimes it DOESN"T. If all boots well, you will graphically see your partitions ( both Linux and dos) and you can adjust according.I am only into Linux some 6 months, but partition magic has been a real lifesaver to me. goodluck, rich -Original Message- From: John Hendrickx [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2000 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [newbie] Can't boot into Windows! I've found out a little more about the nature of my problem (Linux on my slave IDE works fine but I can't boot Windows on my masteer IDE after installing a second Linux system). Basically I guess the partition table is all messed up. Running diskdrake reports "partitions sector # 15004773) (14652MB) and sector #12595023 (4737 MB) are overlapping". Those are at the end of my fourth FAT32 partition and somewhere in the second Linux system respectively. I also get contradictory information on the contents of the FAT32 partitions. Everythings fine according to du, but df indicates that files aren't on the partitions they're supposed to be: root@MyLinux ~ > du -sh /mnt/DOS_hda1/ 1.6G/mnt/DOS_hda1 root@MyLinux ~ > du -sh /mnt/DOS_hda6/ 1.6G/mnt/DOS_hda6 root@MyLinux ~ > du -sh /mnt/DOS_hda7/ 12k /mnt/DOS_hda7 My first FAT32 partitions contains my Windows 95 files and my third FAT32 partition contains a copy (in case I have to do something that would destroy the first partition).

(other cards/brands do work, however, you might want to check out the support list for specific models. Basically-stick with Brooktree chips/Hauppage, etc, and avoid ATI) With this card, I get cable TV and FM stereo radio.

[newbie] 7.1 Printing and Samba
Hi Mandrake Folks: I am trying to solve a printing problem on multiple machines at the school where I work. I have successfully installed 7.1 on 15 machines. Ten of the machines print to a Samba printer with no problem. I am using the standard 7.1 printer configuration tool to set things up. However, 5 of the machines (older P133s and such) do not print at all. They seem to have all the required files, and they give no error messages, but nothing comes out the printer. Samba does work on these machines -- I can share files with Windows stations. Thinking that memory might be a problem, I tried increasing the swap partition, but no luck. I also removed unneccesary packages from the hard drive to free up space -- still no luck. All machines are installed from the same CD -- however, since the CD tray would not eject on these machines during install, I installed from the single CD only. (I understand that 7.1 needs at least 42 RAM for the CD to eject). Are there printing files on the other CDs which I am missing? Does Mandrake 7.1 need more than 32 RAM to print? I thought about using the pdq printing system, but it does not print to Samba. On one of the more powerful machines, I have been experimenting with CUPS, but so far CUPS does not print Word Perfect postscript docs. Any suggestions? Robert Maynord

I used fdisk to remove the Linux partions and now I'm e-mailing from Windows again :-) The problem seems to be that diskdrake on Linux-Mandrake 7.0 doesn't understand large disks.

Johnthe problem I see is that the ending cylinder of hda10 (Linux) and the beginning cylinder of hda6 (Fat32) are the same cylinder. They are contesting over the ownership of cylinder 935. So, either hda10 needs to end at cylinder 934 thus giving 935 to hda6 or hda6 needs to start at 936 thus giving 935 hda10. You can do this with Linux fdisk by deleting one of the partitions and recreating it with the new/correct parameters. The trouble is, how to decide which one to change? I don't know that. So I suppose you could guess at one way, test it and if it doesn't help or makes things worse, then try it the other way. Hope this helps. Alan

Your assumption that DM has something to do with the problem is probably correct. You see both the multi OS boot manager (either lilo or grub) that Linux installs and DM want (and need) the mbr to do their respective jobs. I've no personal experience with DM and/or other software like it, so I'm at a loss to make any suggestions on how to approach this problem while still using DM. By the way, just how are you booting into linux? It sounds as if DM has control of the mbr yet you seem to have access to Linux. Are you using the boot disk you made during the linux installation to boot or is DM accessing the Linux boot partition somehow? Linux will run and recognize your whole drive without the DM software, but obviously Windows won't. So an approach to this would be to install all windows partitions below the 8 gig point on your drive and let Windows think that 8 gig is all you have. You'd need to only use partitions hda1, hda2 and hda3 for windows and save hda4 for linux to use as an exclusivly Linux extended partition. Now I'm not saying there is nothing you can do with the current setup, just that I can't help with that. There may be something that can be done and if there is maybe someone else will speak up. Alan
Re: [newbie] Can't boot into Windows!
I've found out a little more about the nature of my problem (Linux on my slave IDE works fine but I can't boot Windows on my masteer IDE after installing a second Linux system). Basically I guess the partition table is all messed up. Running diskdrake reports "partitions sector # 15004773) (14652MB) and sector #12595023 (4737 MB) are overlapping". Those are at the end of my fourth FAT32 partition and somewhere in the second Linux system respectively. I also get contradictory information on the contents of the FAT32 partitions. Everythings fine according to du, but df indicates that files aren't on the partitions they're supposed to be: root@MyLinux ~ > du -sh /mnt/DOS_hda1/ 1.6G/mnt/DOS_hda1 root@MyLinux ~ > du -sh /mnt/DOS_hda6/ 1.6G/mnt/DOS_hda6 root@MyLinux ~ > du -sh /mnt/DOS_hda7/ 12k /mnt/DOS_hda7 My first FAT32 partitions contains my Windows 95 files and my third FAT32 partition contains a copy (in case I have to do something that would destroy the first partition).

The combined effect of FFT optimization, pulse detection, and the extended doppler drift range is that a typical workunit will take about 40% longer to complete with version 3.0 on any given platform. On balance, this gives the project the best science for the CPU cycles used. We trimmed processing where we could to lessen the impact on execution time. This of course affects the stats. It will take longer to add to your results received statistic. While it might be nice to somehow make version 3.0 workunits "worth more" stats wise, we have not added that complexity.

I tried using kfm as a browser instead but it doesn't send my name and password properly to Yahoo. And posting via kmail doesn't seem to be accepted (or maybe it just takes a long time). In any case, the output looks similar to yours. /dev/hda1 is recognized as a FAT32 boot device. I should be able to boot Windows, but I can't. The problem could be related to the fact that my BIOS doesn't recognize the geometry of this disk because it's larger than 8G. I've installed Disk Manager software from the manufacturer Seagate and I suspect that something is screwed up there. I get a prompt during boot to press the spacebar to boot from a floppy but if I try that now the boot hangs after a few seconds. That's what happens with my Win95 rescue disk too, autoexec.bat and config.sys disabled (the DM software is installed on this floppy). I can boot with my Win95 installation floppy in a normal manner, before I get the spacebar prompt. If I do that, fdisk recognizes only 8M, no partitions. The Seagate DM diskette also boots but doesn't recognize partitions. Reinstalling the Seagate DM software doesn't help, neither does rewriting the MBR from the Seagate DM diskette. I could try repartioning with the Seagate DM diskette. Maybe I could get it to recognize the partitions but I suspect I'll lose everything if I do that.

RE: [newbie] Help: How to share StarOffice 5.1
Ricardo, as root you must install StarOffice in the next way: ./setup /net And then you must install user by user only the necesary files in each home directory (start as a determinated user, go to the Office/program directory and type ./setup; select the appropiate options -more o less 1,4 Mb in harddrive- Office will ask you for the user dates and in few seconds it will install all the necessary files). To run Staroffice as roo you will need also made the second installation for this superuser.

[newbie] Help: How to share StarOffice 5.1
I would like to share StarOffice 5.1. I am working with Mandrake 7.0 and would like to have StarOffice 5.1 available for root, Myself, and visits users. Before, I was able to install StarOffice from Myself user under the directory home/Myself/Office51/ and could use it with root and Myself but when I added the visits user it wouldn't work. I have installed it as root again in the usr/lib/Office51 directory but I get the following error when logged as Myself or visits. The program only works with root user. the error is (repeated for x-smf, x-sdraw, x-sds, x-swriter, x-sgl, x-sda) " Could not find mime type " " application/x-scale " " in usr/share/applnk/Star Office/StarOffice.kdelnk " I do have this files as usr/lib/Office51/kde/mimelnk/application/x-sdf.kdelnk etc., etc., I would greatly appreciate any help with this (probably very simple) problem. Cheers and have a nice day! Ricardo
