Re: [newbie] microsoft hassling Aussie Charity.
Please don't post HTML to the list. As you can see below, it looks like unnecessary junk. This is about a *charity* that is giving computers to *poor* people. Chances are that these people have hardly ever touched a computer, leave alone owning one (no insensitivity intended). Do you think they can afford a copy of Windos, when they can hardly make ends meet? I don't think so. The computers these people are given would either be very cheap or (more likely) second-hand. Adding the price of a copy of Windos on top of that could easily double the cost of the machine. And that's excluding the cost of any applications. Using GNU/Linux is not hard to use at all -- almost everything can be done graphically. Most problems people have with GNU/Linux arise because they have grown used to Windos, not because it is hard.

Re: [newbie] kernel doubts
Mandrake patches a few little niceties like Supermount into its kernels. They may have also included some ac patches. If you can go without those, then you're fine. If you get Mandrake's kernel-linus package you'll have an unpatched kernel, just like Linus Torvalds' official release. Alternatively, you can get the kernel-doc, kernel-headers and kernel-source RPMs from Mandrake and compile those. That way, you may be able to get your winmodem to work and still keep Mandrake's patches like Supermount.

Re: [newbie] PHP
Jhun, In that case, I'm pretty sure you'll have to recompile from source. The latest apache is available from http://httpd.apache.org/dist/httpd/apache_1.3.20.tar.gz, and the php module is available from http://www.php.net/downloads.php. You should also make sure if you want to database driven web pages, to get either postgresql (http://www.postgresql.org) or MySQL (http://www.mysql.com).

Hi there, When I first installed Yahoo! Messenger I had sounds for my events (when people logged on, sent me messages, etc.). But now when I reinstalled it I don't have any of the above, I was wondering if someone could help me so that I can get these sounds back, as they're really useful for me.

Re: [newbie] Dial-up error "pppd daemon died expectedly" modem settings
Minhaz: 1. Something went wrong with my Mandrake 8.0 installation, and I'm still trying to sort it out. As a result, I'm having to access e-mail from the Windows side of the house which means that my Linux stuff isn't currently available. (Besides, do you really want a configuration file from a bad installation?) 2. Please try the M1L3 thing. For some reason, the kppd dialer sets the maximum volume to M1L4, and that is wrong -- at least for some modems. When I first encountered this problem a year or more ago, it took me a while to figure out why all of those dead pppd daemons were accumulating on the floor. Once I made the correction, my world became a much better place. While I'm not positive this will resolve your problem, it certainly worked for me. 3. Since it has been a while since I went through the kppp initialization process, I may not have this quite right, but I believe that there is an option to have a logon window opened during the dialup process. I strongly recommend doing so, as it can be an invaluable aid in sorting out these kinds of problems.

[newbie] I need an easy-to-install VPN client for Mandrake 8.0
Hi all, I just got Mandrake 8.0 and I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up a VPN connection to my corporate network. I telecommute most days and I have been using the built-in VPN client in Windows 2000. But I would rather use Linux instead. Please remember that I am NOT trying to set up a VPN server (I posted in a forum and somehow people assumed I was setting up a VPN server). All I want to do is figure out how to get connect to my corporate network via VPN. BTW, my company's VPN concentrator currently supports both PPTP and IPSEC. Not sure if that helps but there it is just in case. Thanks in advance if you can help me. I'm a newbie and not well versed in the command line. I'm looking for something that is relatively idiot-proof. ;-) Jim __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

[newbie] kdesu problem
Hmm, kdesu is no longer accepting my root password.

Re: [newbie] kernel doubts
That was a real helpful response. What makes you think you need to recompile your kernel to install your WinModem? The drivers for the modem say that's required? Basically the difference between the 4.4.3-20mdk and the 4.4.3 is that the -20mdk is more customized for Mandrake. As far as gaining and loosing functionality with a new kernel of any kind, that all depends on what you compile it to. If you check out /usr/src/linux/arch/i386 there's a file in there called defconfig. From what I understand that's the basic kernel that comes with. The "Out of the Box" kernel. When I recompiled my kernel I used this documentation. http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/kupgrade3.html It worked pretty well. However the src for the present kernel should be on the Mandrake CDs you purchased or downloaded. As well as you can get them at www.kernel.org/. Personally... you may save yourself the heartache in just purchasing a hardware modem. I've recompiled the kernel in 3 distrobutions so far, and honestly, Mandrake's process did not go well. I don't know if that's because of me, or the distro itself, but I spent two weeks working on it before I basically gave up. It may be worth your time to spend the $60 or so for a new hardware modem. However, that's just a suggestion from somebody that didn't have the greatest of luck with the Mandrake recompile. tdh -- T. Holmes - UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Real Men Us Vi!"

[newbie] RE: SNF install woes
The latest thing that I have done is to dig up an old P100 system and stick the harddrive into it along with two network cards. (Used DFE-530TX+ instead of eepro100.) After changing modules.conf to load the right modules, everything came up happy. I then tried ripping out the hard drive and both NICs and sticking it back into 1 GHz Athlon system. It did the same thing as it did before. Moving everything back to the P100 lead back to everything being happy again. Under clocking 1 GHz system to 950 MHz also didn't seem to make a difference. Windows ME and mdk 8.0 seem to come up on my 1 GHz system without a problem. Any insight on what is going wrong with SNF on my 1 GHz linux test / windows system?

Re: [newbie] Got a question...
Tim,
This looks like what happens when you edit something in Joe--it
automatically creates a copy of the file being edited as filename~. This
is basically a backup file, and it will stick around until you delete it.
I seem to remember reading that there is a way to turn it off in one of
joe's config files, but can't remember which one.

Re: [newbie] PPP on demand? how?
Acouple of things. First, you are likely to get more answers 9and some might even be correct) if you and whom ever you are conversing with will hit the reply to all, so the messages go to the whole list, then we all can benifit from your problems and answers. and go ahead and quote the mail that you think is important in the reply. Secondly, don't be afraid to modify a script at a text console this really is one of the best ways to learn and control your system. And you will become a real linuxer soon too. if you do include demand in the conf file, make sure you also include an idle=300 ( or some number, it is seconds of inactiveity before the modem drops the connection).

Re: [newbie] sorting a file/list in a special way
Personally I like using vi or vim. But that's because I find it faster then any other editor. Now it's not the only one that I use, but it is the main editor that I use. If I'm editing really large files, I'll use nedit, but I honestly use nedit more for viewing then anything. But with typing over 80 words a minutes, and vim being all keyboard strokes I fan fly through doing what I want with no problem. I just don't find that the others are quick enough for me. It was also the first editor that I was introduced to. I saw that before I saw pico. And I can't stand pine or pico. I only install them on network servers for those that don't know/like vi/vim. But I'm interested in this script that's being written. I've taken some scripts and modified them for my own use, or for other *nix systems. All the scripts I've written from scratch, are for work and would have no practical use to the rest of the world. But keep up the good work. We all give to the cause! :0) tdh -- T.
