Why can't each program stand up on > it's own two 1's and 0's? Packages depend on other--usually lower level-- packages to save on system resources. If you have a library A and programs B, C and D all need to use it, it makes more sense to have a common A library that all programs can draw on. Having each program compile library A into themselves would result in larger binaries, more memory usage and just generally waste resources. It's possible to compile the library directly into the binary in Linux, but it's rarely done. If a newer version of library A is released, most of the time you can replace the library and B, C and D will immediately benefit from the upgrade. the alternative would require new binaries for all the programs that use A. You are most likely coming from Windows. Windows does things similarly (but not as well, of course :)), they're called DLLs. But a Windows program pretty much always comes with all the DLLs it needs and installs them. Sometimes they may check to see if the DLL is already installed, a lot of times they don't. Sometimes you end up with two different versions of a DLL, which can cause problems. > And that brings me to another question. RPMS.

The dependency thing is a common thing for beginners to get stuck on. I was tearing my hair out on this not too long ago. Using a program like rpmdrake or urpmi can lessen the blow of that. After a while you'll get a feel for when you can force an rpm to install despite dependancy problems. rpms become second nature really fast, I promise :) If you ever need rpms that aren't on the cds, www.rpmfind.net is your best bet.

[newbie] missing PostScript fonts
Dear fellow explorers Under Mandrake 7.2 I had access to certain fonts which seemed to have disappeared from my 8.1 system. These were Hershey, Antiqua and English Gothic. No idea where they came from but suspect they might be available on Windows systems. I don't have Windows installed so cannot check this. Can these fonts be downloaded from somewhere? There is a Win98 installation disk - could they be read off the CD-ROM? - Len Lawrence @ The Thistle Foundation Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I just did an update through the Mandrake update Utility and guess what? My lilo won't boot, I did the lilo config and it failed something about vmlinuz missing. Any way, you should be able to get it back by doing an expert install using all your original partitions and just format the "/" partition. This should reload the old kernel or select the kernel on the CDs you want from the flat list that you can get during the installation. When you get the screen that has the long "install" bar, one of the little tabs above the bar is like a L on it or F something like that, when you click on it it gives you a flat list instead of the tree list ( just incase you haven't tried install that way). Flat list shows the various kernels available for install. HTH -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hi, I would like to know where I can select a 'kernel' reinstall in the 'update' option of the installation cd. I screwed up a kernel update and now the machine will not boot into linux. When I do a 'rescue', I can see all my dirs so my data is all safe, I just need to get the kernel back. It was a standard 8.1 installation.

[newbie] Blocking websites from displaying in Konqueror?
I have a question: There are some websites which I never want to browse or load from, ever. Is there a way to tell Konqueror to never fetch anything from a certain domain? Specificly, I never want Konq to fetch anything from doubleclick.net for any reason. I just have no interest in anything on that site. Surely there is a way to do this? This is with Mandrake 8.0.

RE: [newbie] internet sharing setup
First: Are all three machines "members" of the same workgroup? Are you SURE that you've defined the Workgroup name in Samba the SAME as that used on your other Winblows boxes? Second: When you log into windows you are asked for a user name and password. This user name and password, gets passed to Samba whenever you connect to a share and browse the network. Thus a Linux/Unix account AND a corresponding Samba account must exist for each of these login name/password pairs. I.E. you need to use smbadduser and smbpasswd to add the SAMBA users to Linux's SAMBA user/password lists. ALWAYS double check this using SMBCLIENT "smbclient -L LINUXBOX -U WINUSER " Asks the Samba "Linuxbox", to log in as "WINUSER" and present the shares. When you configured SAMBA, you should have also enabled the NMB component and enabled SAMBA to be the BROWSE MASTER for your network or domain. This is what presents the shares to the Winblows workstations. (the icons). If you havent increase the OS LEVEL in samba, the browse master will be decided by election amoung your computers (REALLY they vote!). When things change the browse list(s) dissappear for awhile until things get sorted out again. If your Linux box is up all the time, make it the BROWSE MASTER so that things will not keep shifting and disappearing. Did you also remember to define the DEVICES (aka IP ADDRESSES) using the INTERFACES = Line? If not Samba will not broadcast it's information until something nudges it. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lee Roberts |Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 5:40 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] internet sharing setup | | |At 02:52 PM 12/7/2001 -0500, Ed Tharp wrote: |> |>why ftp? could use samba and be up and running and sharing files and |>drives |>and printers w/ the winders boxes in no time? | |Speaking of Samba, I get the icon for the Linux box to show |up on my Win2K & Win95 clients but I can't browse the Linux |box.

Not extended, but primary DOS, otherwise Windblow$ will reformat your entire drive including the Linux partition if you give it half a chance. Imho easiest way: Stick in a new (physical) drive, set it to first IDE in your bios... Install Winblow$ therethen change the disks around (making the linux disk first again)... boot Linux and add Windblow$ to lilo or grub as '/dev/hdc1'.Done:) The disk-changing can best done through your BIOS- you don't have to open your case.

Speaking of Samba, I get the icon for the Linux box to show up on my Win2K & Win95 clients but I can't browse the Linux box. And if I restart Windows, I have to restart the services on the Linux box before I can display the network icons again - that sucks. Win95 asks for a password to try to access the Linux box - that fails, of course. I used the procedure for Samba from the techtv.com website. Apparently, it's not that easy to set up Samba. So, what am I doing wrong? BTW, I can ping all 3 machines on my network - can't share files with any of them even though the icons show up on the Windows boxes. And internet connection sharing works OK. No wonder network administrators get the big bucks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] DNS settings
I have 4 boxes on my home network. A WinXP box, a Mac OS X box, Mandrake Linux workstation and a FreeBSD workstation. Earthlink is my ISP and they have 3 DNS servers. I want to set my Linux and FreeBSD boxes up as local DNS servers so I figured I would just add their IPs to the list of nameservers bringing that up to a total of 5 nameservers that OS X or XP could resolve to. Then someone told me most resolvers only check the first 3 entries anyway. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

RE: [newbie] internet sharing setup
I have network setup here, and if I dialup with the linux box, (which is the norm) I can access it with any other windows and linux box's,, and if I dialup with my laptop (win2000) I can change the gateway settings in the other machines, and they can share that connection.. in TCP in any of the other machines, (non gateway) I usually assign them a static IP unless there is some reason to use dynamic.. and in the gateway setting of each machine. I specify the ip of the dialup box, in your case 192.168.0.1 (in my case 192.168.0.2 (linux doesn't need to be 1) you want to be looking in /etc/syscofig/network-scripts look in ifcfg-etho and set an ip address in there.. something like IPADDR=192.168.0.4 then in /etc/sysconfig/network make sure the gateway is set to the IP of your dialup box, (in your case 192.168.0.1) then set your proxy in the browser settings, and you should be set to go.. assuming that your ME box is setup to share its connection properly.. I was win2000 on my laptop,, I have ME, (got for free) never opened the box, don't like ME. but the principles apply.. The reason that most people query your setup with ME, is that linux is far more secure as a gateway box.. each to his own.. if you have a windows firewall running on your windows box, like Tiny firewall or Zone alarm, you may have problems getting your sharing working. linux has no such problems running a firewall on the NAT box, (I use and recommend gShield) That should be enough to get you started anyway... rgds frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of magnet Sent: Saturday, 8 December 2001 5:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] internet sharing setup I had a sneeky feeling i'd get a debate rather than an answer on this one The setup is for a reason, hence the carefully chosen wording of the request.

Re: [newbie] Mail
Procmail does the job read the guide on www.mandrakeuser.org
read 'man procmail' and 'man procmailrc'
Fetchmail will run procmail automatically if the users home directory of the
process which is running fetchmail contains a file called .procmailrc (That
file must have read and write permissions for that user and no other or else
procmail will fail (I've been there on that one :-( ) )
.procmailrc contains a series of recipes which are regular expressions. If
the expression matches an action is taken otherwise it falls through to the
next expression.
The fetchmail log and the procmail log are very good for debugging your
procmail recipes.
Here is my .procmailrc recipe. Study the manual for how it works. (The recipe
includes an example of calling an external program. In this case it is
spamassassin the spam mail detector)

Re: [newbie] wizdrake
Congratulations. Welcome. Its not as hard as you might fear Just think differently. As for wizdrake. Wizdrake is not installed as standard unless you select the sever install. No problem its real easy to install additional packages. You will be doing it a lot soon :-) To install a package open Mandrake Software Manger you will find it in K Menu>Configuration>Packaging It will prompt you for the root password then a GUI will open. The first time you use it a message will pop up telling you to define a security update server. Just cancel that for the moment. In the main window you have two tabs. Installable and Installed. These present you with a tree view of the packages on the CD which are either already installed or available for install. You can browse to find the package you want or else search for it. So to install wizdrake search for wizdrake and then select the tickbox next to the result. You can install multiple packages at once if you wish. When you have selected all you want hit the install button and they will be installed. If you have selected a package which 'depends' on another one, then that one will be installed automagically as well. Read your Mandrake Install manual for full details.

[newbie] Mail
I've managed to set up a very successful email server using fetchmail to access my ISP, sendmail to distribute mail and UW-imapd to allow remote access (both pop3 and imap). What I would now like to do is filter the mail that arrives into folders ie. all the mail from this list to my 'Mandrake' folder. I can do this with POP3 becasue it operates on the client side. But I can't manage to sort mail on the server side into imap folders. I think this should be possible using procmail? Currently all mail is stored in /var/spool/mail/$user, each user is allocated a single large file that contains all mail and folders (I think). where do I put .procmail recipes for each user?

[newbie] Setting up Printing via CLI
I am running LM 7.2. Does anyone know how to setup printing via the command line interface (CLI)? I know that I can do it from GUI, but I would like to know what files to create/alter and such. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The alternative, possibly, is to set it up using the GUI and find all files that have been modified or created in a certain time frame.

perhaps you can try reinstall linux in "linux-safe"(?) or other of the other safe-boot modes and then running kuduz(?), the hardware detection program. not 100% sure, but might work...

[newbie] No floppy drive, now what?
Hi list, I had installed LM 8.1 last week and thought all was well. Today I went to view some files on a floppy disk and Linux reports 'device unknown' . Now how can this be? I thought the install procedure with LM 8.1 had progressed so far as to make this just a forgone conclusion. A floppy drive is one of the most basic hardware items in any machine. Oh well. Enough bitchin' and whinin'! How do I 'enable' my floppy drive in LM 8.1? PS I looked in 'Hardrake', no floppy listed. What next? Thanks in advance.
