Re: [newbie] Mozilla problem
AFAIK it's a server misconfiguration. I had a similiar problem here when I put some ogg files on my server. In the apache config I added ogg to the mp3 ID (you know, to give them an icon).. and all ogg's that were downloaded were seen as mp3's, and renamed that way too. With the iso's I think they are identified as binaries, and maybe on M$ servers thay are given the extention of .exe. I could be wrong about this, but when I removed ogg from the config here, apache didn't know what file it was and didn't identify it as anything, and they got downloaded as .ogg ;-) Ralph On Thu, 29 Aug 2002, Raffaele Belardi wrote: Something similar happens to me also with mozilla 1.0 on W2K.

Re: [newbie] No luck for linux
I think what your problem could be is your download program. From my experiences browser download programs are not the most reliable, as they seem to download as it comes, whereas download managers seem to carefully calculate the filesize, divide it up and download in parts. As much as I am against it, I suggest using either Gozilla or Download Accelerator to do the dirty work for you. YOu can always uninstall either when you have finished obtaining your isos. Yes it is a bugger downloading them each time, I know, but I think one more time should solve the problem, else maybe someone in your region may send you a couple of CD's via the post. On the other hand, I haven't downloaded any of the beta's ass my computer is running just fine at the moment under 8.2, so I'm just taking for granted that the iso's on the ftp servers are good. As I suggested, download for instance Download Accelerator, try download the official iso's from the official mandrake site, and it'll look for exact coppies on other servers too. This should hopefully elliminate the risk of some server having a faulty iso, or your browser just messing the whole thing up. I hope this helps Ralph PS: Then check the md5sums .. 'till now I haven't had any problem with this system, except I was using ProzGUI (Linux) to do it for me... and it's pretty much like Download Accelerator, except for the spyware and adware :-) On Thu, 29 Aug 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh well..

[newbie] High speed web access
I need some advice. I'm planning to upgrade my present dialup connection to cable, using my present ISP (Earthlink) over Time-Warner cable. None of this is graven in stone, and I've got other options. My thinking is as follows: 1. I've been with Earthlink since early '97, and it's been a good experience. (#1 reason: Earthlink's Spaminator does a good job of filtering spam -- a few get through, but not so many that I'd bother to set up a mail filter.) 2. ADSL is also available via E/L on BellSouth lines (and plenty of others), but I've read some horror stories about hookup delays and subsequent problems with ADSL. And, while BellSouth says that ADSL is available here, I'm not sure that I believe them. The telephone lines were first installed 40 years ago, and are not of the highest quality (typical connect: 44000). I also know that BellSouth had a helluva time installing a second line in my house. (Two guys, four hours; the premise wiring already existed.) On the other hand, cable seems to work right out of the box. 3. One source of concern is that BellSouth will supply the lines and Earthlink will handle the rest of it. Hmmm... at least twice as many calls to Customer Resistance. Or do I worry too much? 4. I haven't done much thinking about hardware. Once I do get up and running, I'll hook up my wife's N|C (the Larry Ellison web appliance) through this machine. I've also got a spare box available that I could use as a server, but that may be more trouble than it's worth. 5. Bear in mind that we're both retired (family motto: Every day is Saturday), so 24/7/365 is not necessary. This is for fun, diversion, mental exercise and stress avoidance (hence Mandrake Linux).

Re: [newbie] Printing
use lpr-cups instead. Mandrake 8.2 (which I run) changed to the cups printer server and everything needs to go through it. If you have any questions about how it's configured, try going in through webmin (browser at localhost:1). It's under the Servers tab. Good luck! I didn't have this email list at the time, and spent two weeks figuring out how to do it. On Thu, 2002-08-29 at 14:33, David Seuferer wrote: Hello, I can't seem to get my printing to work.

I can't run kde becouse in my screen I have only my localhost:_ and passward:_invalid(sorry but i can't open mandrake desktop) if i decided re-install mandrake I lost all MAC-OS partition? I don't know about MAC's. Perhaps someone on the list does. On a PC the other OS's are safe when you re-install Mandrake. If you don't have a running X-window setup yet, reinstalling would be the best thing.
