Hope this points you in the right direction. I tried that and a few similar options. You are correct that many things are installed, but the X installation is apparently not complete and I don't know how to complete it. There was no XF86Config file. I created one using xf86config (because none of the X based utilities would run). But, even with the XF86Config file, X would not start. I can't remember the exact message when I tried startx, but my interpretation was that there was something else missing. I too could not find XF86Config or XFSetup, but I did find that Xconfigurator was installed (I'd forgotten about this one but found it when browsing an old RH book for clues), but I know nothing about your SiS630 so can't help here but I'll dig around when I get a few minutes and see if I can find anything. Nevertheless, I will try this again in a few days. (I don't want to right now because I installed Mandrake 7.0 on the system and my son will be using it for a few days.) I used "expert install" don't know if this is what allowed me to choose the Xfree version, have not tried the normal way. I'm sorry I was not more clear here. I also used expert install, and got the chance to choose which Xfree version I wanted to use, but the choices included only "XFree 3.3.6" and "XFree 3.3.6 with experimental 3D support", and not "XFree 4.0.3". As I said in the previous post, there is some confusion about whether the XFree 4.0.3 driver for SiS supports the SiS 630 -- it seems the information on the XFree site specifically mentions support of the SiS 630 for the 4.0.2 driver, but does not mention the SiS 630 at all for the 4.0.3 driver. Is that an oversite or was the SiS 630 driver dropped in 4.0.3? (I've written to XFree.org about the problem.) Perhaps I wasn't very clear either, I didn't state the correct version I was installing, I was using Beta 3 RC1, I don't have Betas 2 or 3 so I may have misinformed you re: XFree 4.0.3 John Clarke
[newbie] Install Procedures
Hi Folks, When installing LM7.2 I noticed several error messages,packages that couldn't be installed,nothing that would keep anything major from running however.Made a boot disc,set the printer,and was able to get into kppp. I used the customized class and let Drak x format the drive and auto-allocate. Anyway, I've got a separate drive I'm putting this on. My other drive has w98se,using grub to flip between the 2. Is there anything I could,or should do to the linux drive to help minimize these error messages. I scandisked it,defragged it,although it was a brand new drive and has never had any other os but LM7.2 on it. I have a copy of spinrite as well and everything was cool there too. Perhaps I'm just being anal here be thought I throw this question out and see what I got :) Thank you very much for your time,yall hava great wknd. and Happy Easter everyone. Lee

[newbie] Apache and PHP
Hi all, Has anyone here installed Apache and PHP on their Mandrake system? I installed the rpms, and Apache is working. I can bring up the default page, and I also configured it to read out of user 'www' directories on a ~username request. But when I went to add the lines in httpd.conf for PHP, I started getting errors. Specifically, it appears that the PHP module does not exist. I can find a php binary in /usr/bin, and there are a couple of PHP extensions in /usr/lib/php (for mySql and something else, IIRC). However, there does not appear to be a libphp4.so, or whatever the file is called that Apache is looking for. I can get more details if anyone needs them. But what I really would like is a how-to so I can do it myself. The Apache and PHP docs all assume that I am going to compile the source myself, but I assume that since Mandrake included the rpms, that this is not necessary. So, any pointers?

I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU (K6-3-400) and, as i'm using linux 95% of my time i suppose it's better a dual processor architecture, Well, dual does help a bit, plus it's probably easier to give your box a speed boost by dropping in another processor in the second cpu slot instead of throwing a perfectly good processor away for a faxter one.

[newbie] invoking bash scripts
Is there some option I need to set to invoke a bash script? I have created a script with the #!/bin/bash as the first line and have chmod +x scriptname to make it executable but it will not execute unless I issue the "bash scriptname" command (preceed the scriptname with the command bash). Is this normal? -- Dean Steichen Mandrake 7.1 K-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] lnx4win hangs
For what its worth I run Linux4Windows. The first dozen or so times I couldn't get it pass the boot up. At one point I got a half loaded desktop. I am still new to Linux but this is what I did. When creating the boot up disk I used the CDrom.image instead of the network.image suggested in my instruction manual. I created the swap file size to the amount of RAM I have on my desktop. Then I booted after Linux asked if it should boot into Xwindows and default user. Two in a row I have installed and successfully booted into the Kdesktop. I am not a pro with Linux but if this information is helpful in any way I hope it works for you. Good luck.Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Re: [newbie] invoking bash scripts
Hi Dean, Likely your system is set up (properly so) without the current directory in the path. To invoke a shell script named, say, foo.sh, type this: ./foo.sh (Notice the leading dot-slash) and it should run. This indicates that the script is in the current directory: dot represents the current directory, slash is the pathname separator.

[newbie] Is Beta8.0 and Via chipset still bad?
I aploogize if this is documented, but I haven't been able to find it... are the new betas, beta3 and such, ok to use with the Via KT133 chipset? I remember Beta1 and KT133 was bad news, but I can't find whether or not it has been fixed. Thanks Terrence

Re: [newbie] invoking bash scripts
I tried ./scriptname and bash reports "No such file or directory". I can ls and it shows scriptname* which should indicate that it is executable and in the current directory. btw: I bought the book "LINUX Shells by Example" by Ellie Quigley and have been trying to run some of the scripts from the cdrom. Many of the commands fail (e.g. echo -n "Where do you work"). Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.

I remember Beta1 and KT133 was bad news, but I can't find whether or not it has been fixed. Thanks Terrence The beta 1 and VIA AND large WD drives were a problem Now it turns out that there is another bug--affecting cross-channel data transfers of large amounts of data under DMA--a hardware race condition for those using the 686B Southbridge chip which goes in the KT133 KT133A and Apollo Pro chipsets. It is a HARDWARE bug which I understand VIA is now working on by helping mainboard manufacturers issue new BIOS versions to set up the PCI-IDE differently. The defense is to cripple the kernel at install time when a VIA chipset is seen. BTW, this bug while subtle ALSO corrupts data freely on Windows systems under the given circumstances, and that race condition may also occur intermittently (not reproducibly) in other two-channel DMA roles. See www.theregister.com April 13th edition for story and links to the actual tests. Civileme
