Re: [newbie] Good word for Mozilla .8
ASP is a script format for web pages, not unlike PHP. The main problem with ASP is that it is a Microsoft format. I will not even pretend that I am an expert on the topic, but I suspect that this M$ format breaks W3C standards in some way. If not, then those who use this format would be less likely to comply to standards since they are writing on a Windos system with Windos users as a primary audience (since most users use IE).

Re: [newbie] MODEM Com port?
Charley; What type of motherboard do you have? Some of the new motherboards allow you to assign an IRQ to a specific PCI slot. Take a look for that in the BIOS, and if it's there, check your M/B to see which slot your modem is installed in. Make sure that you use an IRQ that isn't in use, and assign that IRQ to the proper PCI slot. Otherwise, right under that "Plug and Play" entry in your BIOS is something that should read "Reset Configuration Data". Enable it. It will probe your IRQ's and determine if it can automatically assign a different IRQ to your modem. Next suggestion,...try relocating other PCI devices, and/or installing them one at a time (Modem first right after the video card). One word of caution though. This is a last-ditch exercise. You may have to re-do your install if you try that. Hope that helps. -- Dan LaBine Maximum L.A.N.'s Ltd Registered Linux User #190712

Re: [newbie] Good word for Mozilla .8
ASP is MS technology (as Micheal wrote below) - similar in idea to PHP, Coldfusion etc. It's basically server side scripting (ie all the code is executed on the server and the output - usually straight HTML but can also include all the other things you find on web pages - is delivered to the browser) and should be viewable across all browsers/platforms if properly used >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/12 4:18 pm >>> .ActiveServerPages ( i think) is proprietary microsnot technology designed to hide scripts and zoomy stuff so you have to pay for it.

[newbie] Good word for Mozilla .8
Dear friends: For the record, the mozilla .8 rpms in Mandrake Cooker/unsupported are for i686. They will not install in LM7.2. When I tried to install them in LM7.2 I got the error message: "for a different architecture." That was that. I finally found a version of Mozilla .8 with a Preferences box that works. In all the other versions I tried (and I think I'd tried them all), when clicking on OK in the Preferences box (on any item), would cause Mozilla to crash. This problem did not exist in Mozilla .7 but it does exist in most Mozilla .8 versions. Well, I went back to Mozilla's home page (www.mozilla.org) and downloaded the latest nightly build (20011105) for Linux. This time, the bug seems to have been fixed. The Preferences configuration went off perfectly. Now, my own feelings as a USER about Mozilla are very mixed: I am very pleased with its feature richness, reliability, stability, etc. However, I find much of it aesthetically, i.e. (interface design) to be plain, unimaginative and, in the case of the mail client, downright ugly. If you compare the interface in Mozilla to that in KDE, Gnome or WindowMaker, you have the strange feeling that Mozilla belongs, aesthetically speaking, to some antediluvian, DOS or even pre-DOS (if that is possible) generation. Let's hope that after Mozilla is completed, the Mozilla folks will completely redesign the Mozilla interface. Now, for the good word I promised in my subject header: I tried a page that was mentioned earlier by someone else. The URL is: http://www.pcquest.com/june00/linux_spam.asp Netscape 4.76, the latest Konqueror (in KDE 2.1) and Opera all rendered it wrongly or as a real mess. But Mozilla .8 renders this .asp format SUPERBLY, at least on this page. Really astonished. What, by the way, is this .asp format that eludes Konqueror and Opera? Whatever it is, Mozilla does a great job at rendering it. Yours, Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Netbeui
Dave, I thought since TCP/IP was being used for the internet connection on both PC's (with 2 different IP addresses and subnets) that I couldn't use TCP/IP to network them together too.

Re: [newbie] Linux Problems (was cdrecord)
I'd disagree. Most users will never install their own operating system. It'll either be already included on the computer when they buy it, or they'll pay someone to reinstall should they ever seriously screw up their computer. Now with Linux it would be more important, since most people will have to install. But once Linux becomes mainstream and easy to get pre-installed, then it should become lower on the priority list. > I have to say all three are failures.

Re: [newbie] Wordperfect 8
Marcia; You're looking for "http://linux.corel.com" . Slide your mouse over the grey bar at the top to "Download", and click on Wordperfect8. Follow the prompts and your done. BUT,...sometimes when you install it you may not be able to start it. In that case, you'll be looking for an executable file called "xwp". Do a search for it using Konqueror if that's the case. One more thing. When you start the program, it'll ask for a License key. Check out the last question at "http://linux.corel.com/support/wp8_faq.htm" If that does'nt solve it, you'll have to call Corel (1-800-77-COREL) or (613) 274-0500 to get the free license key. You'll notice when you start WP8 that it opens 2 boxes. The small is the one you use to close WP8. When you close it, it closes the large one. Hope this helps. marcia wrote: > Dear All, Does anyone know where I can find the Wordperfect 8 for Linux > download? I tried www.corel.com and it does not seem to be there right > now.

Re: [newbie] MODEM Com port?
Sure, been doing that from the git-go. It's the BIOS that assigned Com 5, IRQ 10. Dunno why, I have Com 2 disabled; AMI BIOS usually looks there first.Already done as you suggest. No commo device recognized as such in the /proc/pci directory table. Also found more detailed info on my particular MODEM thru MUO. I'll follow up on it. Meanwhile I'm RTFM'ing.

Re: [newbie] Disk usage
If you are using KDE2 you can obtain that data by right clicking on the directory and choose properties. It will then calculate the space. Another is a program called xdiskusage which graphically presents the data for you in a bar chart that allows you to setp through each major section and continues to break it down.

Hmm, there are probably easier ways to do this, but this should get you started : go to a random dir and type 'du >> filexyz.txt'. Edit this textfile to get the requested numbers. After giving you the size of each subdir in a subdir, it eventually gives you the entire size of that subdir with its own subdirs. I hope this will help you, Mathias

[newbie] Tape config & backup
I've been trying to configure a tape drive and backup 1. I have a Seagate TR-4 ATAPI/IDE tape drive 2. I have Mandrake-Linux 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe 3. Linux boot recognizes the tape, as does HardDrake -- at /dev/hdb 4. I don't know which of /dev/hdb# devices applies to the tape drive 5. I found documentation for KDAT with MD 7.2 Complete. but cannot find the executable or configuration file. 5a. KDAT documentation discusses a special format -- is the standard TR-4 tape format valid? 6. I found "flexbackup" script on the distribution CDs. It installs OK, but tells me that the device needs to be defined (it is in the script as /dev/hdb). 7. I found Arkeia, but it applies to a client-server, and a SCSI tape drive. I have a stand-alone system with an ATAPI/IDE tape drive -- so it won't work. Can anyone help with 5, 5a & 6? How do I configure the device so that Linux sees it as a valid device? Where can I find KDAT? Thank you! - Andy Lazarewicz -- Andrew R. Lazarewicz [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://world.std.com/~alaz Wireless: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 781-677-3226

[newbie] OK, another problem "su" is unresponsive
I upgraded the glibc libraries on my computer from glibc "2.1.3-16mdk" to "2.1.3-18.3mdk" for glibc, glibc-devel, and glibc-profile. I tried doing this from within MandrakeUpdate, but the install would stall, not giving me any error messages. So I downloaded them from rpmfind.net (not the cooker version, the normal mandrake ones). I exited X, from a virtual desktop I typed (a la mandrake website): rpm -Fvh glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm rpm -Fvh glibc-devel-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm rpm -Fvh glibc-profile-2.1.3-18.3mdk-i586.rpm Everything seemed normal, except, after re-entering X, I found I couldn't access the "su" command. I get the following error: "error in loading shared libraries:libxalflaunch.so.0:cannot open shared object file:no such file or directory" This only happens in Gnome. Trying to open DrakConf, rpmdrake, or anything that would normally open up a password dialog window, doesn't do anything. What happenned? How can I fix it? -Paul R _ Do You Yahoo!?

Each had talk, & I liked it. Later, I found ytalk. It works a little better & supports a few more features. Maybe I'm getting old (though I've always been a bit misanthropic;-), but when it comes to communication, I prefer a text-based deal. I don't chat much, but I've tried some of the gui apps, & some of the avatar systems on the Web. All in all, I prefer ytalk. But I've not taken the time to figure out why talk isn't cooperative either in lm7.2 or in RH 6.0. It wouldn't be so bad if talk actually worked -- primitive as it is -- but I, for one, haven't figured out why it just sits & times out even when set up on the boxes where the people are.

Re: [newbie] My evaluation of New Traktopel Beta Mandrake 8
Anyone use DHCP to connect to your cable ISP? I do, (optimum online) and 8.0 doesn't seem to want to do it...in 7.2, when I'd boot up, it occasionally wouldn't go online, but I just type in (as root) /sbin/dhcpcd and away it would go! No such luck here. Any tips? Oh, and when eth0 is initializing at boot, it hangs, and then says something along the lines of timing out because it can't find a valid IP or something...yet Windows goes online just fine...

[newbie] browsing network with KDE 2.1? LISa??
I was able to browse through the shares on my home network (peer-to-peer linux box and windows box) using the file manager in KDE 2.0.1 but no longer after upgrading to KDE 2.1. Looking through Control Center, I see that there is now a "LAN Browsing" module listed while the "Windows Shares" module now looks completely different! Clicking on the LAN Browsing module I am inundated with several "LISa" tabs and configuration options. :P Can anybody help explain to me how to go about filling in the necessary values to reenable internal LAN browsing?

Hi Olivier. I have the Sound Blaster Live 512 pci card. I worked fine upon initial install of MAndrake 7.1 but when I re-compile the kernel I lose the card. I get an error loading module emu10k1 upn boot. I found info on how to get the card to work on LinuxNewbie.org. Look in the NHF's for 'getting your SBLive to work'.

[newbie] Java applet won't load in Konqueror
I was trying to load a webpage on Konqueror 2.1 for sending SMS. When it came to the java applet that was supposed to load, I got a blank and the Java console appears with the following message: Java VM version: 1.3.0_02 Java VM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. Unable to load JSSE SSL Stream handler, https support not available What can I do about this? The java applet works fine in Netscape 4.76 (with its built-in Java VM) and even Netscape 6.01 (which uses the same Java2 v1.3 I installed). With Mozilla 0.8, the page won't even load though. Is it because https unsupported in Konqueror? the link to the page is here: http://www.starhub.com.sg/messagecentre/sms.html

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Netbeui
Just out of curiosity, why don't you just use TCP/IP for all your network needs? Running NetBEUI will slow both systems down, because it's a very "chatty" protocol.

Re: [newbie] Futura Monitor
If you search the documentation (or simply your Windows display properties), you should be able to find the information you need to make your monitor work under X. What I am talking about is things like: - refresh rate, in kilohertz (KHz) - maximum resolution - maximum colors If you can't get X to work properly during your initial install of any Linux distro, just run xf86config from a command prompt. It will allow you to manually specify your monitor settings.

[newbie]
Was wondering if anyone new how i could set up my monitor for mandrake. I have tried to custom config to the specs on the spec sheet my monitor came with, but mandrake doesn't seem to like them. I have also tried some general driver settings that mandrake offers, but i can not get better then a refresh rate of 70hz, which is a pain in the ass, since an 85hz refresh rate is what i am after to get a pretty much flicker free screen, so i can actually use the computer for a longer period of time without my eyes getten sore. any help that i can get on this would be great i have a tritton MS-17HS montor
