 go to /mnt/cdrom and then sh setup.sh  Now, I know this works because,
 well, I've done it twice before - using ext2 - and I've installed Quake

 get the following:

 Well, obviously there is a setup.sh - I've run it twice to install Q3A

 The generally accepted rule-of-thumb is to have a swap size of twice your
 RAM. In your case, you would be better off with a swap of 256MB. In general
 practice, there is little to gain from having a swap of over 512MB on a
 standard desktop system (though it may be useful for servers and
 workstations).

Not sure where the subject line came from, is this a piggyback thread? 
Certainly got my attention.

Sounds like the hard drive is already partitioned and you have no qualms 
about wiping one, or more, of the partitions to install Linux on. Mandrakes 
Linux is real user freindly in this respect. The install has a GUI that lets 
you delete existng partitions without molesting others. If you are able to 
make the deletable area contiguous --- big word for the day, WOOHOO! and 
you allow 4Gig or more. then the install will suggest sizes for the various 
partitions. As a first timer, i recommend you accept the  suggestions as they 
stand. You can always reinstall later. Leaving a Fat32 partition even if you 
have NTFS is also good advise as Linux reads and writes well to Fat32. NTFS 
can become troublesome. Ext2 WAS the main Linux partitioning filesystem of 
the past. But it is well dated and now is superceded by several good modern 
journaling filesystems. Mandrake's 'tester' has recommended on this list that 
he has few probs with any of them (ext3 has some iffy's) but that in his 
experience XFS is as close to bulletproof as it gets. This is selectable as 
part of the install during the partitioning phase as well. No flame war on 
that recommend plz.

I recommend you also go for a browse through ZDNet for hardware 
compatability. 

Be prepared to keep a good log of what you do post install that effects your 
system.

Oh... yeah, i say to much sometimes

Canon makes some rather cool Color inkjet printers (S600, S800, ..), which 
produce very fine quality photo printing at affordable price. Both ink and 
printers are fairly priced, and many people are swearing that the quality of 
prints on their S* model is at least as good as on Epsons, for a fraction of 
price. 
Unfortunately, free drivers for these printers do not match the quality of 
the drivers offered for HP and Epson models, and the only way to get a 
photo-quality prints on these printers is by using the turbo print drivers.
An RPM with turbo-print drivers is available for download on MandrakeClub. 
Turbo-print drivers are reported to work nicely, but please keep in mind that 
these drivers are neither free software, not propriatery but free of 
charge: they come as a shareware, with special conditions for private use.

Turbo Print is on the commercial CD's of a Mandrake power pack or may be 
downloaded for free for personal use (with slightly degraded performance 
compared to the paid for version) from http://www.turboprint.de/english.html

Mandrake supports Cisco Aironet out of the box. You should not need to 
install anything. You can see the drivers in /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/pcmcia

All you should need to do is run the network wizard from within Mandrake 
Control centre. It should find your wireless card and prompt you for the 
wireless parameters (encryption key etc)  If your system cannot find your 
pcmcia card check that the file /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia reads PCMCIA=yes

varies widely, sometimes even within a brand name spindle of 50 
CDR's.  Same is true for production CD's (ie, manufactured, not 
recorded). 

 Some CD-RW drives (eg, Plextor, Yamaha) are known to work well 
with even poor media.  Other drives (eg, Sony, HP) are know to be 
more fussy. 'Bout all you can do to minimize these situations is thru 
trial'n error, find media that works well with your CD-RW, and never 
burn faster than 8x.  If you still encounter problems, burn at 4x.

Re: [newbie] Driver insallation problems with Cisco Aironet 350 PCIwireless network card wth mandrake 8.2

2002-05-28 Thread Terry S.

I use the Cisco Aironet Wireless card on my laptop here at work, and the
only thing I had to do to get it to work was to simply plug it in .. it
automatically loaded the appropriate drivers and installed the necessary
kernel module to be able to access it.  I didn't even have to go to
Cisco's website and download any drivers.  This was the easiest hardware
install I have ever done, on ANY OS.

A few thoughts for you to check out:-

Look in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions if you have a file called 
libGLcore.a  then rename it or else GLX will not load correctly.

I assume you have edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 correctly ?
InsertLoad  glx  in the Modules section
EditDriver  nvidia  in the 
Graphics section

You do have Xfree 4.x enabled do you?  Xfree3.x is not going to work.

Try running
glxinfo   in a terminal.  If you get pages of output then glx is working.

Look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log for errors when loading X  post the errors 
here if you do not understand what they mean.

 Hi Pupeno,

 The error you're getting means that X isn't setup correctly on your
 machine. what version did you install on your machine. X  and your
 vid card and/or the monitor aren't getting along very well.

 as for your X config file goes...once you've got X installed and
 configured correctly for your system leave that puppy alone or bad
 thing can and will happen. there really isn't anything to clean
 out or it.

I got this once I think it was after a power cut resulted in file 
corruption (this was before I switched to a journalling filing 
system).  Try reconfiguring X using xf86config.  If that doesn't 
work, try reinstalling X, then reconfiguring.

If the dosemu package is installed, you can boot into dosemu with the
command xdos from any term prompt.  Assuming you have made no
modifications to the /etc/dosemu.conf file, this will put you into the
default freedos disk image, and you will then have access to a dos
filesystem and prompt.

The file dosemu.conf can be altered to give you access to your
winblows 9x partition.  You can do this by giving dosemu.conf the
correct device name of your winblows partition.  i.e.:

(dosemu.conf excerpt)

$_hdimage = /dev/hda1 # list of hdimages under /var/lib/dosemu
# assigned in this order such as
# hdimage_c hdimage_d hdimage_e
# If the name begins with '/dev/', then partion
# access is done instead of virtual hdimage such
#  as /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda1:ro for readonly
# Currently mounted devices and swap are   
 #
refused.
# Hdimages and devices may be mixed such as
# hdimage_c /dev/hda1 /dev/hda3:ro
# Note: 'wholedisk' is _not_ supported.
__


You will not be able to access your winblows partition if it is
mounted.  However you can mount it from inside Linux AFTER you boot
dosemu.  I don't recommend that you do this until you gain some
familiarity.

Dosemu is not in and of itself a dos version.  What it does is provide a
compatible interface for any version of dos to run.  What this means is
that if you have a 98r2 installation, you will be booting dos version
7.10, if you tell dosemu where that 98 partition is.  Linux ships a
freedos version for you to play with, but this should not be confused
with what dosemu actually is; it's only providing the mechanisms for
freedos to function.  Or M$ dos 7.10.

One more item; if you boot into 98, you need to deactivate the GUI.  You
do this by editing the msdos.sys file.  This is what mine looks like,
yours is probably much shorter.  Your BootGUI directive will be set to
1, you want it to be set to 0, like below:



[Paths]
WinDir=C:\USR\98R2
WinBootDir=C:\USR\98R2
HostWinBootDrv=C

[Options]
AutoScan=0
BootDelay=0
BootWarn=0
BootGUI=0
BootKeys=1
BootMenu=1
BootMenuDelay=2
BootMulti=1
DoubleBuffer=1
DblSpace=1
DrvSpace=0
LoadTop=1
Logo=0
;
;The following lines are required for compatibility with other programs.
;Do not remove them (MSDOS.SYS needs to be 1024 bytes).
;xa
;xb
;xc
;xd
;xe
;xf
;xg
;xh
;xi
;xj
;xk
;xl
;xm
;xn
;xo
;xp
;xq
;xr
;xs
DisableLog=0
WinVer=4.10.



Your windir and winbootdir will say Windows instead of
c:\usr\98r2.  

Don't worry about the other directives not being in your msdos.sys file;
it's not unusual.  Some of them are semi-undocumented; I've added many
of them as I've gone along.  They are supported, they just are not
included in the default msdos.sys files.

You should also set Logo to 0 as well.

[newbie] Mandrake PPC question

2002-05-28 Thread okamoto

Hello all,

I'm considering either Mandrake 8.2 or YDL 2.2, and am hoping someone here
can help with some questions.

On YDL's web site, they suggest placing Linux and Mac OS 9 on separate disks,
and making the drive with YDL the master on the IDE bus.

Is this also recommended for Mandrake?

Also, although I can access the Mac drives from Linux, is the reverse true?
If I'm booted in OS 9, can I access the Linux partition(s)?

Thanks much,
Jeff

Yes.  The ETH interfaces are the gateways for the respected LAN

firewall from the IP Address 192.168.150.1, do what I need to do on
the firewall, but I cannot get outside the firewall.  Is there a
script or config file you would like me to paste so you can look at
it to see if there is a config problem?  I haven't made any changes
to any of the script files, except the init.rc (or the rc.local,

to add the static routes to the other networks.  Now, before anyone

[newbie] video card replacement/system won't boot

2002-05-28 Thread Joe Sotham

I've been running a dual-boot Mandrake 8.2/Windows system since 8.2 became 
available.  Today, I had to upgrade/replace my old video card because it has 
gone bad (GeForce 2 with an ATI Radeon 8500.) I'm using a stock kernel and 
without the NVIDIA 3GL drivers installed, I do not startx at boot time. 

I can get to lilo and boot in to windows just fine, however, when I try to 
boot in to linux, linux-nonfb, or failsafe the system freezes.  I've also 
tried reinstalling from cd#1. 

Any thoughts, any suggestions would be much appreciated. 

The Windows side boots fine and found all the new hardware.

I'm running Powerbook G3/400, system 9.2.2 with 128 meg ram and 6 gig
internal.  I have a backup of 20 gig on the firewire.
I can add another firewire drive but want to avoid that expense if possible.
My objectives for going to Linux are:
1) It's open source.
2) It's more robust;
3) It is more flexible in what can be customized.
4) It runs SPlus and a number of other good stat routines that were
developed for Unix.
I want to keep my appleworks 5 wordprocessor, my OE email, and my IE and
Opera browsers, or have at least good equivalents.
Right now have narrowed down choices to YDL, Mandrake, and SuSE.
I'm not leaning toward any of them right now, it is too early.
So, anything you post regarding your choice strategy and thinking along the
way would be helpful to me.  The same goes for any others who have been down
this path already.

I have made note of this before.

The Radeon 8500 Is Not supported in 8.2.
You can run the installation in text mode and then try dling and
installing the ati2 drivers from gatos and you may be able to get some
usability in X.
The drivers themselves are very buggy as relates to the 8500 and you
will suffer lock-ups and crashes.
This is why support for the 8500 was disabled in 8.2

[newbie] Bad floppy filecopy under KDE?

2002-05-28 Thread darklord


Just wondering - seems like I read this somewhere before...is there a bug in 
the drag 'n drop filecopy to an open floppy window under KDE with v8.2? The 
reason I'm asking is - I did it, from an window on /home/darklord to an open 
window on /mnt/floppy and I got a complete and total system wide lockup. None 
of the usual control alt's would work, had to power down and backup. Of 
course, then I went thru the time-honored I'm fsck'ed shuck 'n jive... I 
opened a term and did a cp filename.ext /mnt/floppy and it worked just fine.

Thanks in advance! ;-)

I know you said you have no firewall installed, but are you running one on

A few thoughts for you to check out:-

Look in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions if you have a file called 
libGLcore.a  then rename it or else GLX will not load correctly.

I assume you have edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 correctly ?
InsertLoad  glx  in the Modules section
EditDriver  nvidia  in the 
Graphics section

You do have Xfree 4.x enabled do you?  Xfree3.x is not going to work.

Try running
glxinfo   in a terminal.  If you get pages of output then glx is working.

Look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log for errors when loading X  post the errors 
here if you do not understand what they mean.

I had previously put in load glx' into  that config file, but hadn't 
changed the driver name. One other thing i noticed that in my extension 
i don't have a libglcore at all, but i do have a libglx.so What puzzles 
me is that it has the extension .so which makes it a executable binary, 
instead of being an archive (.a). is that correct and am i wrong?

and when running glxinfo -

xlib: extension glx missing on display :0.0 comes up multiple times. 
anyway, im restarting x, and hoping for the best.

Re: [newbie] Sound Card Configuration

 Hi, 
 
 How do I configure my soundcard on Mandrake 8.0 ?
 
 Thnx, 
 spyross
 
 

hmmm...lets see if I can remember that far back. I haven't seen 8.0 for a 
few years, so if I get this wrong, please someone correct me. at any rate 
Spyros, you can do this one of two ways.

(1) open a terinal window and use the setuptools utility. when you 
activate this utility it will either initialize the X gui or will run in 
the terminal itself. on the menu you're presented with there will be a 
menu item that will allow you to configure your sound card. it's a small 
wizard that is simple and straight forward.

(2) open Mandrake Control Center, and go to the Hardware item shown on 
the left of the main panel, click on Hardware, then expand the sound card 
item in the list; you will see a sound card in the right pane as long as 
Mandrake picked up the card upon installation. you should also see the 
card listed as a sub-item in the left pane. click on the sound card in the 
left pane and hit the configure button in the right pane.

a list of drivers will be presented to you with it defaulting to what 
yours should be. hit the OK button and listen for the audio clip to be 
played. if you here it click the yes button and you're done. if you didn't 
hear it and you're sure that you chose the correct driver for your card 
turn up the volume on your speakers and repeat the last procedure. IF you 
still don't hear the audio clip then it's likely you have a bit more 
configuring to do to get your sound working.

 Well the ip addresses you list here are not valid, but I assume that's a
 typo and they are really 192.168.0.1

 That would be your problem as your linux box IP and your W2k IP are the
 same.  There is no need for DHCP to make this work, and it's probably
 more reliable to use a static address.  Just set the the IP address on
 linux to be 192.168.0.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1

 Under DNS server, list the primary DNS of your cable provider.  If it
 doesn't work then, check:

 /etc/resolv.conf

 Should look like this:

 search domain.of.your.provider
 nameserver primary.dns.ip.addr

 You can put the secondary address in there too just by adding another
 line:

 search domain.of.your.provider
 nameserver primary.dns.ip.addr
 nameserver secondary.dns.ip.addr

 You'll need to be root to edit /etc/resolv.conf

[newbie] Sound - one door opens...

2002-05-28 Thread Brian Parish

I now have alsa 0.9.rc1 under 8.2 playing nicely with my Delta 66
multi-channel card and XMMS is doing it's thing faultlessly for 16 hours
or so per day.

BUT

This seems to have been at the cost of tuxracer, chromium and probably
other apps that use 3d acceleration.  These worked albeit without sound,
before alsa rc1, but now sit on the panel for a while then give up. 
This happens whether another app is using sound at the time or not.

I've tried both with the aRts server on and off.  XMMS works thru either
aRts or OSS emulation, but not the 3d stuff.

Lighter weight games such as tuxpuck work fine (with sound).

Any ideas?

TIA

 Hello all,
 
 I'm considering either Mandrake 8.2 or YDL 2.2, and am hoping someone here

 On YDL's web site, they suggest placing Linux and Mac OS 9 on separate disks,
 and making the drive with YDL the master on the IDE bus.
 
 Is this also recommended for Mandrake?

This is no longer a requirement for either Yellow Dog or Mandrake.

 
 Also, although I can access the Mac drives from Linux, is the reverse true?
 If I'm booted in OS 9, can I access the Linux partition(s)?
 

I don't believe mac os can see GNU/Linux partitions, and GNU/Linux can
view HFS partitions and HFS+ partition support I believe is still
experimental. YMMV
