Re: [newbie] Still Crashing on restart, every time...
Well Grant, theres a little known tale of a Linux user that once had an affair with his machine because it never cheated like his other one. Maybe this is why it's hanging on shutdown (just can't let me go...?)? Whatdya think? See real updated information below... ---Here's your answer Grant-- promiscuous mode 1) In a network, promiscuous mode allows a network device to intercept and read each network packet that arrives in its entirety. This mode of operation is sometimes given to a network snoop server that captures and saves all packets for analysis (for example, for monitoring network usage). 2) In an Ethernet local area network (LAN), promiscuous mode is a mode of operation in which every data packet transmitted can be received and read by a network adapter. Promiscuous mode must be supported by each network adapter as well as by the input/output driver in the host operating system. Promiscuous mode is often used to monitor network activity. Promiscuous mode is the opposite of non-promiscuous mode. When a data packet is transmitted in non-promiscuous mode, all the LAN devices hear the data to determine if the network address included in the data packet is theirs. If it isn't, the data packet is passed onto the next LAN device until the device with the correct network address is reached. That device then receives and reads the data. --- By the way...I shut down the eth0 interface prior to shutting down the machine and (lo and behold...) it didn't hang! (Yippee!!)

Re: [newbie] Partition Magic for Linux
i second not trusting it with ext3, even if you try to 'convert' back to ext2 before using pm, without converting pm sees the linux drives as having no unused space even if you know they are mostly empty!

[newbie] booting in console mode and seeing booting logs to diagnose problem
Hi all! Idual boot win98 + Mandrake 8.1 Questions: 1- How can I use the boot disk to boot into the console mode rather than the graphical login? 2- Where can I then see the logs of the booting sequences. Problem: KDE or any other window manager won't start anymore. The graphic login only has two options: previous and failsafe, neither of which get anythingstarted. There are quite a few error messages that appear during the machine booting sequence. I'd like to see what they are so that I can solve (with your precious help) whatever problem there is. I recently added a new FAT32 partition using diskdrake and then formated it under win98. I needed the new partitions so that I could install office2000. (I unfortunately still need that because of the lacking chinese support under linux - I still haven't been able to get it working properly). I think part of the problem is related to this (something about too manypartitions being mounted...). I'll be able to provide more details about the real problem onceI get the answer to the two questions above... Thanks for your help, Anguo

[newbie] asf files on mplayer runs too fast
I installed the mplayer-0.50-2mdk.i586.rpm using rpm -ivh file command, and it seemed to install properly, finally. (I don't know how to enable -gui using rpm, though :( but I'll make do with terminal mode as long as I get to watch my movies). .avi files run beautifully. .asf files, however, are another story. Both the audio and the video plays too fast. I thought it might be that gcc2.96 issue/bug that the makers of mplayer were talking about, so I replaced that with gcc 3.0.2, with the accompanying dependencies. Then I recompiled mplayer. Nothing changed, though. It still runs too fast. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 750, and my video card is Nvidia TNT2 Vanta. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. (If you're outside the US, Happy Thursday?) I can't seem to get my system to network properly. When I try to ping it from another (known good) machine, nada... Looking at the boot.log file shows that the ifup process fails, then immediately thereafter the network process brings up eth0. Twenty seconds later, network shuts eth0 down. When I look at the daemons/errors file, it says that dhcpd failed to find eth0. So...could someone please tell me what I did wrong in configuring my machine?
