Re: [newbie] Don't know how to install M8.2..HELP!!!

Then it says something like , Formatting partition hda1 it has been on like this for 1.5 hours already. The hard drive access light has been on always. Problem is i don't see any status bar so i don't know how much more do i have to wait. Any idea what i should do? I use text installation coz when i use the standard install, it gives me 2 white vertical lines across the screen just after it probes my ports. Sean John Richard Smith wrote: Does sound as though you are having fun and games Sean. Seems as though there are some basic terms your not familiar with. Mount points are essential to any linux system, in the above example the installer is asking you to choose which partitions to create and install the Linux OS on , and to mount them. The absolute minimum is a base root partition recognised by the symbol, / , and a swap partition , recognised by the symbol, /swap, and the swap partition is your linux equivelant of Virtual memory that in windblows exists as a file (which can expand within predefined limits) whereas in linux it's a defined as a partition. Obviously you don't yet understand the need to create these partitions and define them as per the installer is requesting you do. It is hard to advise someone when they don't give you their hardrive details, such as harddrive size, number and size of existing partitions etc etc , but since you got as far as the disc drake partition tool you are well on the way to a Linux OS. Diskdrake gives you an easy visual display of your harddrive(s) . Use it's graphical tools to make and define the partitions you want. Hope the above helps. John Well there is something wrong. Formatting in DrakX is a zippy thing, it takes a few seconds or so. The essential thing here is to make absolutely sure that it is formatting the correct partitions, so when you were in the diskdrake , you wrote down the harddrive partition number, such as your example hda1, that is the first partition on any linux harddrive numbering system, it may or may not be where you chose to intall your linux OS . The main thing is to make sure that both your linux base / partition and your linux /swap partition are formatted, then go on and proceed with the rest. I use text installation coz when i use the standard install, it gives me 2 white vertical lines across the screen just after it probes my ports I see , I've never had this problem myself, do you happen to have a usb mouse by any chance ? So you have been partitioning with a text install , presumeably you do have the screen , but you have to Alt-letter ( the little _ under the first character of what ever choice you wish to make) in order to make a choice.A nuisance but still useable. I still don't know why you get those two white verticle lines.This is real early on in the install during hardware detection, and it does this because it doesn't like something to do with either your serial, parallel or usb ports .You are on M8.2 , and we know it doesn't like a usb mouse.If you do have a usb mouse , propably the easiest way . at least , what I would do, is replace the usb mouse with a parallel port or serial mouse for the install and afterwards on desktop I would hot plug the usb mouse.

Re: [newbie] Network Problems - Desperate
Since the recent changes I have lost the functionality I had. The first sign was last evening when I discovered that Micky could no longer log on at all (nothing shows up in her Network Neighbourhood and she can't be pinged by anyone) and Andy was apparently logging in as Guest. I do not know whether he was logging as Guest before, as I had not found out how to check. I ran the tests specified last evening using the connection to Andy, being unable to find Micky, and expecting to find the problem this morning, which I have failed to do.

Pico not found? Hmm. That means it's probably not installed. If you are using KDE, try editor or advanced editor - they are very simple like pico, except they run in the KDE gui. Sorry I can't remember what menu they are under, but you can get to them from the menu system. That is if they are installed If you are using Gnome, try Gedit. Again, I can't recall exactly what menu it lives in. Opening the file should be quite easy in either; they are gui driven.

This is not something covered by any GUI tools except on separate firewall products for any distro, because it is a bit complicated. If that is what yu want to do, then it is a great idea to have the gateway computer dedicated to gateway/firewall functions and toss the router. That means running a dedicated firewall product like SNF from Mandrakesoft or its forthcoming replacement MNF, where port forwarding is one of the many options available (To allow a web server behind the firewall to be contacted from the internet for example.) There are other tools, but for those you really need to read and understand something like the iptables manual, or at least look at the examples given for port-forwarding.

Sorry I can't remember what menu they are under, but you can get to them from the menu system. That is if they are installed If you are using Gnome, try Gedit. Again, I can't recall exactly what menu it lives in. Opening the file should be quite easy in either; they are gui driven.

Nick The file you want to edit is a 'system file' That means you will not be able to edit it unless you are root user (otherwise known as 'SuperUser'.

Browse to /etc/ppp/peers right click on the adsl file and select 'Open Withkedit' You will then get a nice GUI editor just like notepad in Windows.

Many cards have multi-screen capability but you will never see it in linux because not enough tech info is released to write a driver. A few manufacturers have come to the conclusion that the Nicrosoft cow won't always give the milk and have been adding to the efforts of XFree. XFdrake is simply a tool to configure the XF86Config file without actually editing it. As such, it has limitations, because not every scenario can be anticipated and if most were, the tool would be very unwieldy. So the answer lies in maybe and has more to do with your video card driver than any particular distro. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

yeah, I'd join for the same reason... :-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Dale Huckeby Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 10:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Fwd: [newbie] Problem with LM 9.0 On Mon, 29 Jul 2002 15:43:50 -0800 civileme [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribbled intuitively: Well, the problem is bugs in the current revision and it is up to Mandrakesoft to fix them. My involvement with the fixing process is becoming distant as I struggle to complete a few more testing tools before my lay-off is effective. (two days hence). I haven't been too interested in joining Mandrake Club, but would sign up for $10/mo for a year if the funds could be earmarked for civileme's salary. Any chance of this happening if others wanted to do the same thing? I agree with those who think he's an asset to this list and Mandrakesoft.
