Re: [newbie] Problem installing Real Player 8 for Linux
it installed the executable to mine in /usr/bin/Xqq/ as realplay. One way to see where it's going to put the files it's installing is to query it with gnorpm or look add the directory you download all your rpms to as a source in the Mandrake Software Manager so you can use its search function to locate the rpm then on the right side read the files tab on the bottom section. associations should already be set. mine worked out of the box I get a dialog box, save to disk open no applications specified Do I have to make file assocaitions?

Re: [newbie] Palm HotSync over USB
Dear friends, The avalaible releases of pilot-link, jpilot and all the packages that use those applications (i.e. kpilot) don't make USB sync to your computer under linux. But, the future releases will did and you can, with a few work, have it runing. This is the way I reached to have this runing in a system with Mandrake 8.2: A) First of all, to have pilot-link runing with the usb palm conection. A1: Go to the http://www.pilot-link.org page and download the CVS and built it; I did it under Mandrake 8.2 using: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-perl5=no --with-python=no I had to insmod visor to test the pilot-xfer and create the simbolic link (ln -s /dev/usb/tts/0 /dev/pilot) but due to the using of usbthe sync button must be pressed before run the program because /dev/usb/tts/0 is created dinamycally). Now if you copy all the executable files to /usr/bin (do that as root) you will see that the conection is possible (try with pilot-xfer /dev/ttyUSB0 -l and you will hear a eaven sound ^_^). B) Jpilot version 0.99.10 or lather beta release. B1. Go to the jpilot page and download the source of the beta. B2. configure using: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-pilot-prefix=/usr/extra/pilot-head --with-ccoptions=-Wall -O2 then make finally make install Perhaps you do need to insmod the visor module. That run for me; now I can sync my palm m505 via the usb port, than is faster than the serial conection. Good luck! Francisco Alcaraz Murcia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Marcia --- Hi Marcia, I think Harm's response covers your main question, but maybe I can clarify a little more. - using the cable modem as a hub 1. probably won't be workable 2. depends on the cable network for connectivity and is therefore relatively slow compared with a LAN connection 3. May cost you a lot of money depending on how your usage is charged - the crossed cable you need is a standard cat 5 cable with the wires crossed. easily available at any computer supply and totally independent of your network card - from what you describe and as long as both machines are running linux, you probably don't need internet sharing except that if you use the port on the laptop to connect to a second NIC on the desktopIf you run W$ on the laptop though it really should be behind the linux machine in network terms for security. - when it's all set up, the easiest means of sharing files would be NFS if both are using linux. webmin makes this easy to set up - I mean REALLY easy! - if you need to network also with the laptop running W$, then Samba comes into play. Again, not difficult to set up simple shares, in fact with 8.2, virtually a one click operation. Buy that second NIC and cable!

Re: [newbie] Palm HotSync over USB
I have tried using JPilot with Pilot-Link and there is even a listserve for those that use this. But it is to far advanced for me, I guess. I have tried compiling their code (CVS) as their web page and list server users explain, but having never compiled before I became lost with the error messages I was getting and did not know what to do to resolve them. I think I may be stuck waiting for the RPM. I am employed as a senior system analyst and when it comes to data manipulation I really pride myself on how fast I can cleanly manuver data. I understand awk, sed, perl, informix, oracle, and sql. But the OS side is another story that I am just begining to grasp.

I haven't been able to get nvidia's to work properly with a Gef2 with kernels newer than 8.2's 2.4.18-6mdk. Even a -13mdk I compiled myself (with gcc 2.9.6). What error mesg's, if any, do you get runnin 'harddrake' from a terminal? running 'startx' from level 3? I suspect a XFree/Gef4 problem, or a kernel/Gef4/nvidia snafu.

Re: [newbie] hardware requirements (more)
Alex: Take a look at RedHat -- they supported 486's through 7.1, and may still do so in their current version (7.3). I'm still dubious about StarOffice; version 6.0 requires a Pentium with at least 64 mb RAM. You didn't mention your hard drive. IIRC, 486's were quite limited (540 mb maximum?). That is probably sufficient for a text-only installation, but it will take some discipline. I'm sorry to be a wet blanket, and perhaps you'll succeed, but it's going to take a lot of effort on your part. I had a 486DX4-120 system for a long time, and it was the most stable I've ever had -- even though I was running Windows 3.11 on it. I replaced it about four years ago, and gave the motherboard to a friend at work; he ran it for another two years. -- cmg On Sunday 19 May 2002 01:12 am, I wrote: Alex: He's mistaken. The 8.2 PowerPack carton specifies that Pentium, Pentium compatibles or AMD processors are required. This is because the binary code contains instructions that a 486 cannot understand and therefore cannot execute. As suggested below, there are some Linux distributions that will run on a 486, but Mandrake dropped support for them several years ago. You've got another problem, too. While it is possible to run in text mode with only 32 mb of RAM, you will not be able to run any graphical programs, particularly Star Office. I believe that it is possible to work with as little as 64 mb, although Mandrake recommends 128 mb. -- cmg On Saturday 18 May 2002 05:30 pm, you wrote: Does anyone confirm that?

I plug the palm cable in the usb 1 and pressed the sync button; then I was able to create as root the link: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/pilot; probably you will need to make the pilot dev accesible to every user (chmod 777 /dev/pilot).

Re: [newbie] Installing to another drive when updgrading
Hi I am planning to upgrade to 8.2. I currently have 8.1 installed and all the Linux partitions are on a second (slave) drive. My primary drive has Windows. I would like to get rid of the Windows install on the primary and use that drive with Linux. I want to maintain my existing (non root) partitions that are on the slave drive. I'd appreciate advice from this forum. Thanks Prashant Prashant, go ahead and install away to your primary. Mandrake will see your existing partitons and you may feel free to use your /home and any other as you see fit. If you like you can place your / (root) /usr, /usr/local and whatever else on your primary and leave your /home on the slave. that'll work out just fine. you'll be fine as long as you don't format the partitions you want to keep. daRcmaTTeR Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'd like to burn a cd of mp3s that will play on a mac. Making the image with mkisofs, I got errors regarding Joliet file names (file names are ridiculously long), so I used the -U flag to get around it. The resulting CD works fine on Linux and Windows, but I don't know if it will on a Mac (don't have one here to test). Reading man mkisofs, I read about the hfs. Does anyone know if a Mac can read long filenames from the CD if I use -hfs? Or, will I have to rename all the files?

Well, find is your friend: find . -name *.mp3 will list all files named *.mp3 that exist in . (i.e. the current directory) or any subdirectory of . Now what about the size requirement? I had a quick look at the man-page and became wiser: find . -name *.mp3 -a -size -512k The -a stands for and, the -512k stands for less than 512k. Now all we need is to delete these files: You can do that with find, but I find it much simpler to pipe the search results from find into xargs: find . -name *.mp3 -a -size -512k | xargs /bin/rm and this will run the /bin/rm command on the output from find, i.e. delete all the files that find returned from the search. Of course you have to be darn careful about this -- make sure you don't accidentally delete all your mp3 files! Check the output from find first, then append the | xargs /bin/rm part. Narfi.

Re: [newbie] deleting files = 500k on the command line
1. It runs slowly Particularly, as it gives visual confirmation of files being deleted, moved, or what have you. In the case of deletes, it'll have to blank out all the icons representing the deleted file(s) and move other icons up as it rescans the directory. 2. The CL is faster if you know how to use it. Most definitely. And this particular example is not readily programmable by Konqueror or any other gui directory browser I know of. You can facilitate it somewhat by sorting (at least by size) so you don't have to hunt all over the disk to find files that match the criteria). 3. I sometimes end up without the luxury of X... so i like to know how to get Indeed. But yuo can use xterm/konsole/what have you as well as Konqueror in day to day use. Both have advantages. For casual ad hoc file maintenance, Konqueror is probably easier since all you need do is right click the icon usually. But for real work, nothing beats working in the shell, and the OP's situation shell is going to be a win. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] deleting files = 500k on the command line
on the CLI I don't know how to do that either other than if they were

Use 'find'. i.e.
# find . -name *.mp3 and then do whatever else yuu need. For instance,
-size 500 would select (AFAIK) files 500K and over in length. Then just
pass that over to rm with either xargs or backticks/braces.
rm -f ${find -name *.mp3 -size 500}

on the command line, so it becomes 'rm -f file1.mp3 file2.mp3 ' etc. If
you have a lot of files, this might fail, although there's plenty of
room for command lines in Linux; somewhere around 78K IIRC.
