Re: [newbie] Security Question - Windows Partition
As far as I know, there are no security issues with having a dual boot system. No more then usual at least. The only thing to worry about would be system stablity. Unless there's an application out there that I just don't know about, WinBLOZE can't read a EXT2 file system. So you won't be able to see your Linux partition and a hacker wouldn't either. In Linux, the OS will read FAT32 partitions. So if somebody hacks your system, they will most likely be able to see everything. There are pluses to having two drives in your machine for Linux. It's better to have one drive for the basics, like var/ and usr/ and the like and then a drive for the home directories and no essentials. (For example. I have a /software directory to stash junk that's on a second drive.) So yes, there are security risks if you're on the Internet with your machine, but no more so with a dual boot machine then with anything else. Hope that helps. tdh -- T.

[newbie] WordPerfect 8 license key and PhotoPaint install
Hi, I downloaded WP8 and followed the instruction for installation. After the install, I typed "xwp". The program launched, but I get a dialog box saying "The grace period for this software will expire after 90 days. "etc. and asks me for a license key. I can click on the button "Enter key later" and keep using the program. However, I thought the download version of WP8 is supposed to be better than the 90-day trialware that this apparently is. Am I missing something? Anyone has any idea? Also, I downloaded PhotoPaint9 for Linux and installed it. The problem is I don't know how to start the program! The installer put a bunch of files in /usr/lib/corel, but I couldn't find an appropriate excecutable under that directory tree. I couldn't find anything in the README either. Has anyone have better luck? Please let me know. TIA! Cheers, Andy

[newbie] dependency problems with rpm in LM7.1

Also, I can find no way to log into a Console when I I log out of Gnome. Not sure what you mean. You should be at a consol prompt when you exit X, but you're already logged in to the system.

I HAD my sound card working before I started messing with the modem..now
when I boot up linux it tells me my sound card is busy. I did the set
serial and then tried to connect and then it told me my modem was busy.
Earlier when I rebooted into windows and it installed the cirrus it was
telling me there was a conflict and it took out my soundcard (they were
fighting over Interrupt Request 10). I have tried to get the cirrus going
in windows to no avail, it tells me there was hardware failure. I don't
know if I got a bad modem from someone or if I just have too many PnP
things or what :/ This is an ISA modem.
Why oh why couldn't this be simple...bad enough first all I had was a
winmodem lol.

[newbie] help: X problems because of Mandrake 7.2 update
Hi,
I'm new on Linux and I installed the Mandrake 7.2
version. At first I had some problems with X because
of my video card (Matrox G450 32MB) that is not
supported by Linux Mandrake. Specifically when I
started X from the text mode I got an "Out of Scan
Range Error" and the computer freezed. I solved this
problem using the mga driver provided by Matrox and
modifying the XF86Config-4 file.
It was all running ok since I received and install the
CD Mandrake 7.2 update. Then I started to have the
same problem as before("Out of Scan Range" error and
freezing), and I noticed that the file X86Config-4 was
modified. But worse of all, even modifying this file
as it was before the update installation still the
problem persists.
Please, any one has idea what was in that update? Some
other version of XFree86 ?
Some ideas ofhow to fix the problem?
Thank you very much, Aldo

Re: [newbie] Problem with KPPP
When you get that error, it means that something caused the connection to drop. There a billion things that could cause that. 1) Somebody steps on the line or trips on it causing line noise 2) Bad line noise coming from your LEC (Local Exchange Carrier.) 3) Downloading large files, sometimes the modem can misinterprit information as a disconnect command. 4) Your system isn't taking the information fast enough or effecient enough and it causes a bottle neck that will disconnect you. That doesn't mean it's crashed or anything. You should still have no problem opening up kppp again and reconnecting. ifup command is more stable due to the fact there isn't a GUI to cause problems or to conflict with anything else. tdh * John bale [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010209 22:46]: Hello all, I've installed ML 7.2, when I run KPPP dialer I got the message stated that KPPP has died unexpectedly with the return codes of either 10 or 16.

[newbie] a question that doesn't belong here
Hi all. I know this question doesn't belong here, but since there is a lot of people reading this, probably it's the best way to find out. I'm lookinf for a song, but don't know the name and/or artist. I just remember the video where some guy (a movie actor) is a fugitive running through a forest, then he hides in a farm's barn and the farmer children start feeding him; then all of a sudden the farmer realices and starts chasing the guy with a shootgun throgh the country. i know this is worst than mission impossible, but who know, one of you might remember the song name or artist i'm referring to.

Can you try again using Netscape, I have explained how to do the stuff with Netscape. Mozilla will probably work the same way. And make sure that you give a name to the file which ends in ".ppd". Otherwise CUPS will not find the file. If it still does not work, send me the file which you have downloaded. BTW, the Stylus Photo 2000P driver doesn't work. This printer/scanner (i don't care about the scanner) is hooked up parallel not usb. Have you tried the PPD file? Most driver are independent on the type of connection.

I find it in the list of Graphics cards, when I run Xconfigurator from a console. Try Xconfigurator from console mode.

[newbie] Broken Internet connection
Unable to re-establish my internet connection. My initial install of LM 7.2 setup internet OK. So I know the hardware/modem is not the problem. While messing with cups to try to get user access to my printer, I broke LM badly - flashing monitor, no NTLDR or boot on startup, boot floppy just gets back to flashing monitor - so I used the CDs to do an update ( 2 hours + on this 166Hz/64MB machine). The update got me back to where I could use DrakConf to setup my ISP connect info. But many tries with various combinations of info never got a beep out of the modem - and no messages that I could find. So I tried the manual for kppp. But I could not find any help in where to start, or how to troubleshoot. Next I tried the ISP-Hookup-HOWTO. It led me thru a verification of files: /etc/hosts.deny ALL: ALL /etc/hosts.accept ALL: LOCAL /etc/HOSTNAME Don /etc/hosts 127.0.0.0 localhost 0.0.0.0 donm /etc/networks loopback 127.0.0.0 localnet 0.0.0.0 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets donm * passwd ( where passwd = my ISP passwd) /etc/ppp/chatscript #this file did not exist so I built it as #instructed in the HOWTO TIMEOUT 5 "" ATZ OK ATDT12345678 ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO DIALTONE" ABORT WAITING TIMEOUT 45 CONNECT "" TIMEOUT 5 The above was implemented as root with cmd: exec pppd connect \ 'chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript' \ -detach crtscts modem defaultroute \ user donm /dev/modem 38400 This gets as far as showing ATZ on the screen and then error: /dev/modem permission denied I tried all permission settings on /dev/modem and its link to /dev/ttyS1 but could never get past this error.

WinMe must be installed in a primary partition of the first hd 2. W2K (NT) can be installed in either a primary or logical partition of any hd, but the boot partition (the one with the NTLDR,NTDETECT.COM, and BOOT.INI) must be completely within the first 2 gig of the first hd in a primary partition. 3. Linux can be installed on any partition of any drive, but if you use the NT bootloader LILO must be installed to the first linux partition, not to the MBR. And make a LINUX BOOT DISK!

When it goes to boot off the cd it doesnt detect the raid controller and thus doesnt see any drives and wont let me continue.

Too high a res for the driver in question can really cause problems. 2. The mouse driver. The wrong mouse driver will easily do this. 3. The font you're using.
