[newbie] Grub configuration: LM/ hd0 and Win98/ hd1
Hi! Does anyone have some ideas (good) how to configure, I would say quite typical system, so linux lives on the first physical hd and win-system on the second one. I installed LM7.2 out of the box and I got ready made grub config, fine. Everything is working BUT I have two partitions on my second harddisk, so C: and D:-drive for sure. When I'm booting to windows (no comments) it starts booting, but then it starts nagging about D:-drive. "Invalid media type", this old message. All those two partitions are using FAT32 and when I boot directly from bios it's booting fine though. Grub configuration file (unable to remember correct syntax right now, but): - it's mapping hd1 - hd0 and vice versa - hd0 - hd1 and setting - chainloader+1 also - makeactive is seen there Shall I add there some other parameters for my second partition? Kind regards, - Mika Joukainen ps. I went through many FAQs etc. but no success.

Re: [newbie] 3c509 operative!!
Hi, I am cured, After taking a few steps from an archived reply (thanks Jerry) it worked. Here's what I did: From Gerald A. Jones: "The 3COM 509B card can run in three modes ISA, PNP, and EISA. Mandrake 7.0 doesn't play nice with this card in PNP mode. Here's what you need to do. Go to ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c509 and get the file 3c509x2.exe this is a self expanding compressed file. Place this file in an empty directory and execute (double click) it. This will expand into a lot of stuff you do not need." I rebooted to the command prompt only (press F8 just before windows starts loading) and navigated to that temp directory and executed 3c5x9cfg.exe. I used the configuration tool to disable PnP capability. I restarted once again to the command prompt. Values had been automatically assigned to to the IRQ and IO, but I wanted ones that were near the previous values, so I changed them. Next, I rebooted to windows to fix it there. Went to the control panel and selected "Add New Hardware". Windows detected the 3c509 in ISA mode without any problems. Rebooted to Windows to make sure it worked. Then I rebooted to Linux and it worked without any problems at all. Thanks for your help, mail group!! Hope someone else reads this and doesn't go through as much crap as I did. Tim P.S. Sorry about the double post, I think I had the address twice in the "send to" field. Hi, I have a problem: My 3c509b ISA does not work with 7.2, nor did it it work with 7.1. I selected the correct module at install, but it hasn't ever worked. I've gotten it to work before with RedHat 6 and dhcpcd, but I'm having trouble with it now. I'm connecting to the internet through a cable modem with my NIC through RoadRunner in Austin, TX. -I've tried "modprobe 3c509" and then "insmod 3c509" but it tells me that it is already installed. -I try "ifconfig" and I only get "lo" stats. -Windows tells me that it's using interrupt 9 at I/O range 210. HardDrake tells me that Linux is using I 3 and I/O 200, but it gives me an error when I change it. -I tried changing the Interrupt and I/O in linuxconf (the "optional" fields), but still nothing. -I tried installing the dhcp client -I tried using dhcpcd. Nothing is working. I suspect that it's a faulty configuration or a hardware caveat I haven't exposed. I haven't yet tried disabling PnP on the card, but I'll try that next and reply to my post if it did or did not work. I don't understand isapnp very well, so I haven't fooled with it, but I get sound through my ISA AWE64, so I don't suspect it anyway. Thanks for your help. If you need more information, let me know.

On one of the AMDs it just locks up part way through the white letters onblack screen boot.On the other AMD it gets as far as initialising CD ROM and then locks upOn the Celeron it did not get as far as this until I made the cd the masterdrive and then it gets as far as Initialising CD ROM before freezing withthe message:Kernel panic VFS; unable to mount root fs on 1:03I had previously installed version 7 on the Celeron.This was successful apart from the cd drive not being recognised and desktop loading up slowly and I (mistakenly) thought that upgrading to version 7.2 would solve these problems!

Re: [newbie] Virus on Linux?
I think we sort of agree, what I am really saying I suppose is that Guarddog is a good place to start for a newbie, it gives a reasonable degree of security without the need for understanding of ipchains. As ShieldsUp is aimed at Windows users (I believe) and it couldn't find me when I hid behind Guarddog, I would hope that it will hide me from "Windows using script kiddies". That said, I fully accept your point and would urge newbies not to be complacent and rely on Guarddog believing it to be enough. I would suggest installing it, then looking at the available documentation for ipchains and PMfirewall and moving on. That's my point tho, would you rather have a fancy GUI for a firewall setup that leaves ports open, or use a text based app like PMfirewall that sets up ipchains to give better protection? BTW thanks for the heads-up re: the better check than ShieldsUp - I've been there and it finds things that ShieldsUp couldn't like port 23 is open and allows telnet port 80 is open and allows http port 8080 is open for http-proxy none of which I understand because as far as I knew none of these sevices were enabled - guess I've got some digging to do ! Poogle Do the complete scan and get the emailed report. The basic scan reports 1025 open on my system, but the complete scan reports 1025 as open/filtered, ie, not a problem. 'Course I have the BEST protection from script kiddies, a lousy 28,8 dialup ; I did do the complete scan which is where I got the results I mentioned, I still haven't found out why telnet, http and http-proxy are open, but then I haven't yet looked very hard.

Re: [newbie] OT -- Linux on Mac -- OT
I was running a small web site using Apache on an old PowerMac 7500/100 at my last job. That machine is at least 5 years old, so it does work pretty well. I paid a very small amount for the commercial distribution from www.linuxppc.com I found it difficult to install. The Mac came with a 500MB SCSI disk, and I added a 4GB SCSI disk. I installed a minimal MacOS8.5 on the 500MB disk, and then booted from the LinuxPPC CD. I don't know why but this got it going. You need to make sure that the Macs are capable of running LinuxPPC - most PowerPC with PCI bus are. You can find some information at www.linuxppc.org, but I think there is less documentation around, and it isn't as well organised as the Intel distributions. But it does work very well!

The latest stable GCC release is 2.95.2. ~ See: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html (the link in the FAQ is broken) Kdevelop is one of the many KDE1 programs that wasn't ready for KDE2. There's been several updates to KDE2 culminating in KDE2.1, which is now on cooker mirrors. As of 11/20 CVS, Kdevelop (2.0) would either crash on start, or if it manged to start was unusable. I've been updating KDE2 with successive upgrades, and I'm d/l'g 2.1 (20001123) at the moment. I doubt if Kdevelop will yet be stable enough for productive use, but the rest of KDE2.1 is a lot slicker and quicker. I'll let you know tomorrow, all the mirrors are very slow ;) -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay Sounds like it's better to wait a bit. I'm concerned about downloading it to 7.2.

Re: [newbie] 2 questions
Patrick, If I remember correctly Magellan was/is a lightweight Konquerer type browser based on the Mozilla "gecko" rendering engine. I'm not sure if it ever really got out of the beta stage. For a while there was a lot of talk about it, but then as the release of mandrake 7.2 came closer and closer much of the browser talk shifted towards Konquerer. I've tried it and it is lightweight, but very feature limited and somewhat unstable after a short time running. As far as combining kmail with Konquerer all I can say is...why? Why would you want to? One is for browsing the net and the other is for reading/sending email and corresponding with the newsgroups. -- Mark / * Sometimes it becomes necessary to rock the boat * in order to get the rats up from below decks * so they can be kicked over the side and drowned! * * REGISTERED LINUX USER # 182496 */ *REPLY SEPERATOR* On Tue, 28 Nov 2000 patrick had this to say! i have 2 questions. 1. is it possible to combine kmail into konquerer and 2. what is magellan

When I first installed mdk7.2, it seemed slower than molasses -- especially after having run Caldera OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 for almost a year with much greater speed. At first, I attributed it to the new KDE2 being a worse resource hog than KDE 1.2, but even when I switched to AfterStep (fairly lightweight, though not the lightest) it was still slow. The biggest problem I saw was actually being able to see the screen refresh itself as I scrolled thru a web page in Netscape, or thru any document in any app -- even in an xterm! What I eventually figured out is that during the install, my video card was correctly detected and configured (NeoMagic 256AV), but the display I chose (generic 1024 x 768 @ 70Hz, or something like that, because I couldn't find my actual model #) was wrong. I was able to reconfigure X to use an IBM display, and now the system is MUCH faster. In actuality, the software probably does not run any faster, but because the display is so much more responsive, it seems like the whole PC is faster.

I can ping in both directions when I'm in Win98 on Bill1. Things I've tried: 1) If I try: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.253 I get an error: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable. 2) modprobe ne2k-pci yields Warning: The PCI Bios assigned IRQ0 to this PCI Ne2k card which is unlikely to work!

[newbie] sound destroys network connection
Dear All, It has been quite an experience since I got rid of Suse and reinstalled Linux M 7.2. I had so many problems that I reinstalled twice since last night. Last night after yesterday's reinstall I thought I had it made. I had almost everything working and then I set up my sound. After that I had no more internet. The sound was fine but no internet. After my reinstall this morning I set up sound and again no more internet. Somehow the sound configuration is ruining my internet setup. All of my files are as they were when everything was working. I have eth0 at Irq9 with 0x280 which works fine until I get my sound going at Irq 5 0x220, 0x300, dma=1 for an ess1688 audio drive sound card. These configurations worked fine during my original install with LinuxM7.2. Why would they not now? There must be a conflict but I cannot tell how there could be. Why would these setups conflict now when they did not a week ago? Right now (after today's later afternoon reinstall) I have everything working right except for sound. I have not tried configuring it yet because I wanted to be able to use the cable internet. I am not going to try it again until I find out how to do it so it does not ruin my internet connnection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. Marcia P.S. Alan, and all other nice souls thank you for all of your help so far. By the way I was asking for help recently because I said 7.2 would just hang there trying to initialize the CD. I discovered that I was putting in the 2nd CD instead of the first one. The correct CD solved that problem.

When booting up from the cd it is obviously recognised but when Linux is loaded and I try and click on any cd icon I can find there is no response When you open a terminal and go cd /mnt do a ls there and see what cdrom directories are there. Can you do ls cdrom or ls cdrom2 (if there) and see what's on the cd? Perhaps the icon on your desktop is bad.

[newbie] What the f.....?
I downloaded Gnome-Control-Panel 1.3.1 from Tucows yesterday, I configured, make and tried to make install the package. The install stopped and a few error messages came up. I figured that I needed some libs to install it. I tried to access my Gnome Control panel and now the app won't work properly. How can uninstall a tarball app, and can I uninstall this particular app and still maintain the old program version? -- Jay "May the sound of happy music, And the lilt of Irish laughter, fill your heart with gladness, that stays forever after." http://www.mrsnooky.com

Re: [newbie] OT -- Linux on Mac -- OT
Before I got an intel box I used to run linuxppc on a Mac, and it worked pretty well. I was pretty new to it all so I don't know how much I didn't know. Anyway, now there's also this thing called Mac on Linux (http://www.maconlinux.org/) where you can run the Mac OS on linuxppc or Suse (mac). My brother has this running on linuxppc and he says both OS' are pretty responsive. (Sorry, no Mandrake distribution for the mac). have fun, jim On 11/29/00 9:07 AM, Adrian Smith spoke the words: i did a web search and found a few site regarding linux on mac and found some stuff, so it does exist but i was wondering if any of you had experience with linux on mac and could give me a general idea how it is. meaning -- does the OS work about the same? is linux on mac pretty stable and as advanced as the intel flavor? can anyone recomend any good distributions? does mandrake happen to have linux for mac??
[newbie] LM7.2 Macmillain KDE is BETA 1.99!!
Dear friends: I just received the Macmillain 4-CD LM7.2 Complete, NOT the Wallmart version but the one just issued as of Nov. 28, 2000. I am very sad to report that all the KDE files are clearly the final Beta 1.99, NOT KDE 2.0 Final, as I was personally assured by Macmillain itself. Please check your CD's before installing them to see if this was an isolated case or a disaster affecting everyone. Thank you.

[newbie] 3c509 not operative
Hi, I have a problem: My 3c509b ISA does not work with 7.2, nor did it it work with 7.1. I selected the correct module at install, but it hasn't ever worked. I've gotten it to work before with RedHat 6 and dhcpcd, but I'm having trouble with it now. I'm connecting to the internet through a cable modem with my NIC through RoadRunner in Austin, TX. -I've tried "modprobe 3c509" and then "insmod 3c509" but it tells me that it is already installed. -I try "ifconfig" and I only get "lo" stats. -Windows tells me that it's using interrupt 9 at I/O range 210. HardDrake tells me that Linux is using I 3 and I/O 200, but it gives me an error when I change it. -I tried changing the Interrupt and I/O in linuxconf (the "optional" fields), but still nothing. -I tried installing the dhcp client -I tried using dhcpcd. Nothing is working. I suspect that it's a faulty configuration or a hardware caveat I haven't exposed. I haven't yet tried disabling PnP on the card, but I'll try that next and reply to my post if it did or did not work. I don't understand isapnp very well, so I haven't fooled with it, but I get sound through my ISA AWE64, so I don't suspect it anyway. Thanks for your help. If you need more information, let me know.

[newbie] Performance...
Hello, I am running v7.2 on a 433 Mhz Celeron with 192 MB of RAM which I recently upgraded from 64 MB. There is an increase in performance, but not major. It is recognizing the RAM. Is there any configuring that I can do to increase performance? Thank You, Vincent A. Primavera
