Re: [newbie] Switching sound from OSS to Alsa
I guess I'll just go back to the oss drivers and get the 4.1 at least. There's no use bitching I guess. I'm really just waiting for good SB Audigy support since that's what I was gonna get with these speakers until I read that there is still work to be done on the driver. The setup does appear to be some what bastardized especially since the C-Media's own driver setup doesn't have my jack configuration even listed. Oh well, it still pisses off my roomates on the floor below when i listen to some Foghat. :) Tom Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Did you back up your home directory before you started this? It is possible to manually import all your mail folders individually using Evolution's import function, but it will require that you move your evolution directory in ~/ to another name, and then install a pristine version of Evolution. From there you start the Evolution import routine and tell it the new name that you gave to the old evolution directory. This also assumes that your email data files are not foobarred.

That means you're free to use apps like TEX, StarOffice/OpenOffice.org, Abiword and Kword.

You would make a new hda patrition FOLLOWING the resized /. But for dual-boot you do NOT need a separate /boot All you need to do is drag the kernel and the initrd (vmlinuz-(kernelnumber)-(buildinfo) and initrd.img-(kernelnumber-buildinfo)) from the /boot of the new install to the /boot of the old install, then use DrakConf to redo your boot (and the drop down lists will include the new kernel and initrds) making sure the root identified in the new boot is the root of the new install. For luck, run /sbin/lilo as root then reboot and you should have the dual-boot established.

(Add NO packages unless you think of some you really want). It will fuss and cluck for a few minutes figuring out that you don't want to do very much then go on to Networking (cancel) and summary and bootloader (cancel) then finally get friendly with X You want to select something impossible--very high resolution with too many colors (click the Show All to make it fail) then test it. After that go to graphic cards and pick FBDev, then settle for no more than 1024x768 in 16 bit depth, and make sure your monitor is within its frequency range. A 70Hz vertical is better than a 60 (walk toward a monitor under flourescent lighting and you will see why) if your monitor will take it. This will not work at all unless your video card supports framebuffer. This is easy to tell during install, becausea framebuffer supporting card will give you a graphical show during package install with a "details" button if you want to watch package names fly at you, and the VGA screen is much lower resolution and offers no graphics, just the flying names. Also, after install the bootloader will offer a linux and a linux-nonfb boot if you have framebuffer. THere are a few exceptions to that, however. A Matrox Mystique 220 made exclusively for Dell (OEM version) will not support framebuffer while most other Matroxes do. A Voodoo 3 2000 will install with framebuffer display but will not detect as a framebuffer device for a framebuffer enabled kernel, so it runs on its own driver only.

You would even then the new partition table would be dependent upon where the freespace existed on your hd and how much of it you had.

Do you have the kernel sources installed? You need them to compile the driver. Also, pctel-0.9.0.tar.gz is the current version of the driver. I'm using the pctel-0.8.6 driver with 8.2 without any problems. If you're going to compile the driver, you might as well get one of the two above.

Is there anyway to change the default mouse actions in Midnight Commander in LM8.2? My Logitech Optical wheel mouse worked fine in LM8.0 in MC -- the scroll function is very addictive. I miss it! So far, in my search through the docs, I've been unable to discover how to affect/effect changes in MC. Other than that, LM8.2 is excellent -- I'm so glad I upgraded.

AFAIK they should be OFF. Apparently they are holdovers from DOS days when it was necessary to cache some parts of memory b/c DOS couldn't do it efficiently enough. For now, I believe all windows versions don't use or reference the bios at all. I presume linux is the same. However I know that those settings will slow your computer in windows a lot if they are on. Femme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Konqueror links problem.
OK I got LM8.2 up, again, b/c too many things were crashing. Probably due to my adding ram after it was installed? Thx Tim your tips on LICQ helped tons ;0 Didn't have to use the TARball either, just using the one that comes with LM. Anyway I have small niggling problem so far and thats Konqueror. Nice program, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to change the links so they will become a different colour after I visit them. I've looked in KDE somewhat, & in Konquerors Options/Preferences. No luck.

Google 'bios settings', you'll get plenty of links with explainations. For more concise/appropriate explaination, go to your motherboard's web page, your bios' web page, or screen by screen descriptions are probly also in your mobo's manual. Normally you shouldn't need or want to cache video or bios. Before you make bios changes you should understand what they do and why you would want to change from default. It's also a very good idea to know where the 'clear cosmos' (cmos) jumper is on your motherboard and how to use it. Some don't have one, you'll need to pull the battery for a few minutes. Some bios' can be cleared by holding down a key during the boot proccess (eg, ). Clearing the cosmos (bios) will revert to all defaults in case you happen to make the system unbootable. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

One reason could be hardware/firmware. I'm using a Soyo k7vta pro and after the last bios flash upgrade (for Athlon XP support), the bios setting "4 seconds or instant off" (I prefer instant off) quit working. Button must be held in now for 4 seconds, even if instant off is selected. I also immediately started experiencing the problem of re-boots even when 'halt' is chosen, both with Mandrake 8.1 & 8.2, and Windoze. For me it's just a minor annoyance. If I choose halt and wait till the system powers down, then hold in the button for 4 seconds, the system halts. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I run cooker ft and never saw a problem with both libs installed. The symlnk is fine but where I found a problem with it is that not all apps needing libpng2 will function properly using a link. The real problem with either solution is if you have an app that either calls for the non-installed devel pkg Or has a depend which it expects to use that devel-package and you end up having a lot of out of sync apps. In the case of Opera, can't speak for Scirbus, either solution would work, myself choosing to have having both libs installed. Charles Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

AFAIK you can uninstall Windows, remove it from all storage media and give the installation back CD to the retailer for a full refund. It is in Micros~1 Windows' EULA. There has been a bit of fuss about it maybe a year ago IIRC when Linux users in Australia (again IIRC) wanted to use Linux and didn't want Windows preinstalled and they found this in the EULA so they went back to the store and got the refund. Now I hope I am not mixing another story with this but I think a similar thing happened later in the US and the Linux users organised a group trip to return Windows and Micros~1 welcomed them with a "Microsoft greets the Linux community" banner.
