  Fino a poco tempo fa credo di no.
 
 
 non puoi ridurre se lo spazio è occupato,
 per questo è necessario deframmentare e rimuovere il file di scambio, 
 prima di ridimensionare la partizione win$ 
 per avere un prodotto simile a PM è necessario usare parted
 
 


Non ho mai fatto magheggi del genere, ma credo che il meccanismo di
installazione si basi su fips e che questo riesca a ridurre
non-distruttivamente solo le partizioni fat (w95/98/me) ma non
quelle ntfs (nt/2000/xp).

sono due cose di cui non sono sicurissimo al 100%

Credo che però siano chiarite bene sul manuale di installazione che
è presente sui CD e al sito Mandrake.

Anchio ho un portatile con le tue stesse caratteristiche; Per quanto
riguarda la scheda ethernet, la scheda video e la scheda audio, il tutto
è già in dotatazione al kernel. Prova con Harddrake. Per quanto riguarda
il modem, adesso non ricordo bene l'indirizzo ma ricercando con google
parole chiave come mandrake slmdm linux rpm avrai la sorpresa di trovare
rpm adatti al tuo kernel.

[newbie-it] senza mouse

[gkep]

Ho rilevato un problema con il mouse, non penso dipenda dal tipo di
mouse ne' dall'hardware (ho un pc P4, scheda madre asus, cordless wheel
mouse usb della logitech). Ho installati nel mio pc win98, win2000 Pro,
Linux Mandrake 9.0. 
Il problema e' che a volte riavviando il pc da win2000 Linux non
riconosce il mouse e questo non funziona neanche facendo un ulteriore
reboot, funziona invece se spengo il computer e poi lo avvio. 
La stessa identica cosa capita ad un mio amico con un portatile in cui
ha messo win2000 Pro e Suse. Sul suo abbiamo provato a ripristinare le 
funzioni del mouse senza spegnere linux, ma senza successo. 
Invece quando faccio un reboot da Linux capita che in win2000 non
funzioni la tastiera...
mah!

[newbie-it] incidenti di percorso (col mast)

Ne ho combinata un'altra delle mie.
Stavo masterizzando un Cd audio (il primo su CD non riscrvibile, da quando ho 
Linux - un evento!), quando, per errore, ho schiacciato ctrl-z (volevo 
annullare un'operazione su un file di testo, invece era attiva la finestra 
della masterizzazione...). Ah... lavoravo da shell, con cdrecord. Niente 
cdroast gcombust o simili. Il ctrl-z ha fermato il processo di 
masterizzazione, e il must s'e' tenuto dentro il CD. In caso si errori di 
questo tipo c'e' modo di riprendere la masterizzazione? Io, alla fine, ho 
dato un cdrecord -fix e ho chiuso il cd, salvando le canzoni che aveva gia' 
scritto, ma volevo aggiungere le mancanti...

Re: [newbie] Kmail issue.

[Seedkum Aladeem]

I understand that is the way Kmail behaves now. It is nice that those files 
grow and shrink with the amount of mail kept in Kmail window mail folders. 
But it does not sound to me a good thing that the files remain even when the 
mail folder is deleted from the Kmail window. The user can have a legitimate 
reason to keep creating and deleting Kmail window mail folders. His Mail 
directory would just keep growing full of garbage that way. The user would 
have to go in and clean the Mail directory manually. It does not appear to me 
a nice thing that Kmail behaves that way.

[newbie] Corrupt Database

[Dennis Sue]

Whenever I use locate to search for files, It doesn't matter what file, I get 
 the following message at the end of it's search :

fatal error : locate : decode_db : 'pathlen == -5 ' ! Corrupt Database !

For some programs, Like netscape, It will list all the files before ending 
with this message.
For other programs, Like Gaim for example, It lists the users home directory, 
then kicks up this error. It does not list all of the program's associated 
files / directories .
So I realize that apparantly the Database has somehow become corrupted, But 
how do I repair it , and solve this problem?
I am running Mandrake 8.2.
TIA.

Sorry to hear that.  I think a lot of the stuff is online, but if you want 
the disks, of course, that doesn't help.

It never ceases to amaze me how many sites have mailto forms that simply do 
not work or work correctly.  I have thought that they were probably designed 
for windows-only environments by those who know no others, but you would 
expect a magazine like LF to know better, so I don't know what's wrong.  
Would you mind if I tried to forward this to Linux Format magazine?  I think 
they should be told if problems like this exist.

 managed to get it to work...

Not sure really ;-)

 Any hints on what you did?

First thing I did (after posting here - bad Bo) was to actually look at
the docs for the card /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README. While I
didn't understand a word of it I tried to modify my
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and it worked. Not perfectly, there is one
remaining problem, but I'll get to that further down.

1. first I entered a new monitor section for my tv-set. Not sure if this
is needed

Section Monitor
Identifier tv
VendorName Sony
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection

2. Then the screen section needs some extra bits

Identifier screen1
Device device1
Monitor monitor1
DefaultColorDepth 24
Option TwinView
# This let's you use two monitors in the first place

Option SecondMonitorHorizSync 30-50
Option SecondMonitorVertRefresh   60
# These are for the tv.

Option MetaModes1024x768,800x600;800x600,800x600
# The resolution for the two displays. This is where I have a problem. 
# The first set od resolutions crops the image on the tv and the second
# gives me larger virtual screen than 800x600, not god for watching a 
# movie. I need to figure this one out.

Option TwinViewOrientationclone
# This option looks best for watching movies as the the two displays  
# will show the same things. Other options will create a large virtual 
# screen than extend across one side of the monitor and extends to the 
# tv. I.e moving the cursor to the right side of the monitor will cause.
# it to appear on the tv.
# Good for work, but not movies.

Option ConnectedMonitor   crt,tv
Option TVStandard PAL-B 
# The tv-format used in Sweden.

If anyone has ideas how to resolve my remaining problem with resolution
and screen size, please let me know. Why do I get a virtual screen that
is larger than 800x600?

Re: [newbie] XBOX media player and the GPL

[Todd Flinders]

The problem is that if they started with GPL code, it is not entirely their 
work and they must honor the license of the code they chose to incorperate.  
I don't know much about this situation, but if they distributed code in 
binary form that included GPL'd code nested within their logic then they must 
also provide the applicable source code to the recipients of the binaries.  
They also cannot restrict what the recipients do with the source code other 
than keeping it Free.  There is no clause in the GPL that allows exceptions 
for beta tests.  They certainly don't have to provide source to the public, 
but if they put out binaries with nested GPL code to beta testers, the beta 
testers have a right to the affected code.  They also have a right to pass 
the code on to others if they choose.

Obviously, I'm no lawyer.  But that's my understanding of the situation.

  There's this new program called Xbox Media Player which
  appears to be in clear violation of the GPL. i'm not quite sure what this
  program does, but i think it's purpose is playing DivX movies on an Xbox
  or something...
 
  Anyway, it takes code from FFMPEG (http://ffmpeg.sf.net)
  and XVID (http://xvid.org) which are both licensed under the GPL,
  and the developers of this XboxMediaPlayer have not released
  the source for their program, and when asked for a copy, they clearly
  demonstrate they give a s*** about the issue.
 
  A member of the MPlayer-users list has emailed them concerning
  this issue and got the following reply:
 
  ---
 
  We are not obliged to release our source until we reach our first stable
  public release version 1.0 -  I've made our position about this quite
  clear.
 
  If we continue to get any more such demands we shall simply stop
  releasing public betas, and release version 1 and the accompanying source
  6-12 month from now.
 
  ---
 
  Now, this got me thinking ( and i've already posted my ideas to MPlayer
  list) how about we all *make* them stop releasing their betas? i.e. we
  *all* keep asking for the source untill they choose to give us their
  oh-so-very-feared-punishment and quit releasing programs in clear
  violation of the GPL?
 
  lemme know what you think :o)

 I think you should keep that response in an archive of some sort; as it
 seems to be a public promise to release the source code. When development
 is done. But I don't see this clear violation that you speak of.
 Distributed open source code used to make a product means the finished
 product must also be open sourced, no? Or do you just want them to stop
 developing altogether?

  Apparently you got your wish then:

 Latest News
 07-10-2002, 13:09 (Post by RUNTiME)

 Development suspended

 Following a number of complaints made to us development on the player is
 suspended until further notice.

 We remind you that we have not officially released any binaries to the
 public, and as such no source will be forthcoming either.

 You can send your letters of thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Why they wouldn't release the code as it is now, and hope other developers
 would also take an interest and help refine the software, is anyone's
 guess. But nobody else's business I suppose.

 It should also be the author's privilege to control their own work in my
 opinion. Any artist should always have control of their own work, and the
 ablility to decide what the public sees and when. With respect to the
 Free Software Foundation, or Open Source Community; if the author of a
 particular program/application wants to hold onto their work until _they_
 consider it a finished product, what's the problem? I thought the rule was
 that if a product is released that uses any open source code the end
 product code also must be released as open source code. If it's still alpha
 or beta work where's the trouble? That would seem to mean there isn't any
 finished code to release yet.

 Under the from the sublime to the ridiculous heading; have you ever beta
 tested for any proprietary software development? If you're still in testing
 phase in most cases you're bound to not even admit it. Source code? Hell
 you're lucky if there's an admission that there _is_ code. It's all done by
 magic ya know. Black Magic in some cases. :-)

 Developers may be a strange breed but they have my respect. I can't do what
 they do since I don't have that much interest in the field; and so would
 never devote the time to learn the required languages and skills. To my
 mind that means I have no right to criticize their behavior if it doesn't
 harm me. If cutting them a bit of slack (if that even applies here) is what
 it takes for them to release a *free* finished product that I may not even
 have known I wanted or needed then where's the problem?

I'm currently subscribed to it and used the website from my ML8.0 box (using Opera) to subscribe, so at least on good days it appears to work. The sub was 113.97 $US for the DVD edition.

There's more on the DVD each month than I have time to try out before the next one comes.

Sorry to hear that. I think a lot of the stuff is online, but if you want 
the disks, of course, that doesn't help.


It never ceases to amaze me how many sites have mailto forms that simply do

RE: [newbie] APC BackUPS 500

Title: RE: [newbie] APC BackUPS 500





I should probably start this with don't try this at home... but I'm going to propose precicely that:


I have taken an APC UPS with batteries which had failed, and replaced them with cables run out the side to a pair of golf-cart batteries from Sears. The two batteries were about the same price as a new UPS at the time, and I've tested my network setup on it for an hour of up-time while unplugged before getting nervous and plugging it back in.

I'm running a P5-90, an SNAP server, two 8 port switches, a p5-200 webserver and monitor (12)


I've never tried to calibrate the monitor in the APC, so I don't know whether the lights mean much anymore, but it's nice to be able to keep running even when the power fails.

Re: [newbie] Corrupt Database

[Stormjumper]

i think you can try

# slocate -uv

man locate tells you that that will create a new database from /
as well as other options available.

or you may want to check out the options in /etc/updatedb.conf
and use
#slocate -cv

if all else fails, try deleting your current db file,
probably at 
/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db
and re-creating your db.

hope it helps.

 I don't know much about this situation, but if they distributed code in

 must also provide the applicable source code to the recipients of the
 binaries. They also cannot restrict what the recipients do with the source
 code other than keeping it Free.  There is no clause in the GPL that allows
 exceptions for beta tests.  They certainly don't have to provide source to
 the public, but if they put out binaries with nested GPL code to beta
 testers, the beta testers have a right to the affected code.  They also
 have a right to pass the code on to others if they choose.

 Obviously, I'm no lawyer.  But that's my understanding of the situation.

With no development, and no application being done, there's no code being

Usurious Leasing Attack used by a certain proprietary software company.

In theory it would be well to have any adaptations or modifications of source

Temporarily apparently. The problem seems to be (according to the FAQ they 
have posted) that they won't release the application to the general public 
until there's a GPLed compiler available; not one that belongs to Microsoft 
which they have _no_ rights to open source. It also seems the player is never 
going to work without a mod chip, and I can't recall seeing any news about 
those being open sourced either. Problem is that particular interpretation of 
their FAQ was made by a human (me), not a lawyer or 'public servant' and may 
be incorrect too.

While I would like to see every bit of software, and every application

I'm finished with this subject since I have no interest in that application

 obnoxious. With no work there's no application. Whatever it was. That seems
 a sad state of affairs to me. It seems there's a little free choice
 available this week.

..uhm, i think i got the terms of the GPL wrong, then.
I mean, if these guys are releasing a program (does it matter
if they call it a beta if it's available for widespread use?)
taking code from a GPLed project, and NOT releasing 
the source, is it not a violation? or is it only when they 
call the release stable?  the latter doesn't make a lot of 
sense to me..  what keeps them from calling every release
a beta time and time again?




 With no development, and no application being done, there's no code being
 released anyway. It may actually have been something useful but we may
 never know that now. Strict interpretation of rules and regulations; while
 not a bad thing at all, may itself be judged as draconian as the
 Everlasting Usurious Leasing Attack used by a certain proprietary software
 company.

i made the original post of this thread because i thought that 
this kind of development of useful software was being very
unfair to people working on an *even more* useful project developers.



 In theory it would be well to have any adaptations or modifications of
 source that's already available re-released; but this situation was so
 unclear to me that I still don't see a clear violation of the GPL. All

which part is unclear? i feel there's more to be found out too, however...

 that I could tell from the limited information available was that some one
 or more developer(s) was working on an open source media player for XBox

the point is,  the player was able to play DivX files. And to do that, 
it took code from Xvid and FFMPEG. the authors admitted to it, 
but kept making closed-source releases and telling people to wait at
least six months for the source (maybe it's ok because they 
were only betas?) 

 and now they aren't. Temporarily apparently. The problem seems to be
 (according to the FAQ they have posted) that they won't release the
 application to the general public until there's a GPLed compiler


So, the six months we were supposed to wait  was that because 
they were trying to find a GPL compiler? 
and then, why did they even get to make beta releases if they
are still looking for a compiler? 


 available; not one that belongs to Microsoft which they have _no_ rights to
 open source. It also seems the player is never going to work without a mod

OK, but it was their choice to get stuck with incompatible licenses
in the beginning. Using code that forces you to open-source your work,
and compiling with a program that forbids you to do it...? (or am i getting
the compiler stuff wrong?)

 chip, and I can't recall seeing any news about those being open sourced
 either. Problem is that particular interpretation of their FAQ was made by

 While I would like to see every bit of software, and every application

 this universe.

i think closed-source software is very necesary, even in Linux. And i
also believe that most GPL die-hards will have to learn to live with that.
I'm too much of a recently-arrived foreigner in the Linux community to
turn into a insert license/product/belief here-diehard, but still, the
way i understood the situation, i felt a little pissed off.

(and i'm going to add a question here: is GPL's legal validity proven yet?
as in lawsuits or something? i think some time ago i read something about it
not being really tested for in-court real value)

[newbie] UDF, iso9660 and supermount do not function together !!

Hello All,

I have modified the filesystem file for work with UDF,
but don't worked.

Because that filesystem also can be mount as iso9660.

I have tried to put the udf before the iso9660 in the
filesystem file, but it works in the same way.

I'd like that the supermount work perfect. :)

In my fstab file have the following line:

none /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/hda,fs=auto,ro,--,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,c
odepage=850,umask=0 0 0

How I make for the UDF and iso9660 to function
together with supermount? 

Any suggestions?

[newbie] Setting up network scanning under Mandrake?

[Jim Dawson]

Does anyone have a HOWTO or set of instructions on setting up network scanning? I am 
trying to set up a SCSI scanner on my 'server' computer to share with a Linux 
workstation (and later to a couple of Windows computers using SaneTwain) but so far I 
havn't got any further than being able to scan directly from the server. The 
documentation on the SANE web site isn't too helpful in setting up saned and sane-net. 
I'm running Mandrake 8.2 right now (I plan on upgrading to 9.0 as soon as I have the 
time...)

I have saned set up on the server computer but as far as I can tell it isn't running 
(or running properly anyway), and I'm not sure if I have sane-net installed correctly 
on the Linux workstation. (xsane isn't detecting any scanners. I think I need to 
specify the scanner when I call xsane but I can't figure out how to do that, other 
than specifying the hostname of the saned server in the net.conf file.)

Any assistance in setting this up would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry about the extremely late reply to your question about this, but I

read from both at once, or copy back and forth between them.  Which, for

ppc is for macs.  you want i586.  also, for intel platforms version 9 is 
out.  might try that.

after burning it should not be a single file on the cd, but several 
files/directories.  iso is a package of files as it were.  what are you 
using to burn the cds?

You have to burn it as an image file, it will not work by simply burning
the ISO to a cd.
All you end up with then is a mirror of the iso.
The procedure can vary somewhat depending upon the burning program you
use.

On a further note PPC is for the Mac not for a PC.

You're gonna hate this, but ppc is the wrong ISO for a Windows computer. 
That's for Power PC. Mac in other words. You need the i586 ISOs, and for 8.2 
I'd recommend all three CDs since there's a lot of apps on that third disk to 
help easing the blow away Windows completely objective. 

Why not version 9.0? Dolphin has a lot of 'new' built into it but it was the 
easiest Mandrake I have installed for anyone. 6 times so far not counting me. 
g  Still has a few teething pains though.

Since you don't have a proper disk this may not be relevant:
http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/isofaq.html#badburn
may explain why you only see one large file etc. That's why the subject is 
badburn. The whole page is useful.

Want a howto?
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/iso/howtoisoen.html

You're burning software should recognise the ISO and there should be an option 
to make it a bootable disk. Don't quote me on that since it's going on three 
years since I burned anything under Windows. :-)

Good luck.

[newbie] Network printing with CUPS

[Terry Sheltra]

Hello all,

I have a very strange problem here at work.  I have my laptop set up 
with LM 9.0, and using CUPS to print to our Window$ domain print server. 
 We also have some mac OS X machines around that seem to be picking up 
the printers I have installed on my laptop (my laptop is apparently 
broacasting my available printers on the network, and since OS X uses 
CUPS for printing, it picks them up, not like window$).  Essentially, 
they are using me to relay the print jobs to the print server, instead 
of going to the print server themselves.  Anyone have any idea what 
could be causing this, and how I can turn it off?

Thanks!

Re: [newbie] Installing v8.2

 Ok. So I downloaded v8.2 by double clicking on the
download files from the FTP site and then burning them
onto a CD, but it's still not installing on the computer I
want to use. Can someone PLEASE tell me in PLAIN LANGUAGE
how to install Linux using the file
MandrakeLinux-8.2-CD1.ppc.iso (this is what was burned
onto the CD).
 
 If this is NOT the correct way to burn the CD, can
someone PLEASE explain (again in PLAIN LANGUAGE) how to:
 
  1. copy the file from the FTP site 
 
  2. burn it onto a CD
 
 Thank you.

Hi Andre, sounds to me like you need the .i586 iso's for   
pc, not ppc. ppc is for mac power pc.   
   
I don't know where you can find a download site for 8.2,   
but a search on google may turn up what you are looking   
for.   
   
The iso's of 8.2 that are available through the mandrake   
mirrors are for ppc.   
   
When you burn the iso's to cd, you want to choose the   
option in your cd burning software that specifies create   
cd from image, or similar wording, depending on the  
software you are using. There should be a readme file at  
the site with the iso's that explains the procedure to  
burn the images.  
   
There are three iso's you should have;   
Mandrake-8.2-cd1-inst.i586.iso   
Mandrake-8.2-cd2-ext.i586.iso   
Mandrake-8.2-cd3-i18n.i586.iso   
   
Cheapbytes still has 8.2 for sale at $5.99 US,   
http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/0070010793.html?id=xwZd2xex   
  
I hope this is of some help Andre.   
There are many others on this list, much more qualified  
than I, who can help you a great deal more. I can vouch 
for  
that! ;-)  
  
All the best to you.

RE: [newbie] APC BackUPS 500

[Cory]

Speaking of APC BackUPS, I have a 650 BackUPS Pro, with serial status
reporting. How can I integrate the Smart portion into linux? I would love to
know how to set it up so that when there's only a couple of minutes left of
power, begin the shutdown sequence, and if power is restored, cancel the
shutdown... I know there is software out there that does this, but any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (GkrellM support for this would be
awesome as well!!) Thanks.

   It'd probly get both systems past a real short power loss, but you

 Hi there

 I am using OpenOffice 1.0 and trying to use spell-check function, but it
does not seem to work. Could you tell me how to activate spell-check on
OpenOffice 1.0 please?

 Regards,

I had huge problems with spell checker.
This is how I resolved them.

First check that you have MySpell installed for the language you want
(English-UK in my case)

Then in OO go to ToolsOptionsLanguage Settingslanguages  and select your
chosen language for Locale Setting and Default language for documents.


Next goto ToolsOptionsLanguage SettingsWriting Aids and make sure the
chosen language is specified for Available language modules and user defined
dictionary, then check the spellcheck options you want under options.


This worked for me (after many more or less random changes) I hope it will
work for you

file /etc/colorgccrc from install of

I had read that both gcc2.96 and gcc3.2 could be

Have I done something wrong or is there a way round 
this?

 call the release stable?  the latter doesn't make a lot of
 sense to me..  what keeps them from calling every release
 a beta time and time again?


To the best of my understanding (and I'm pretty confident in this) if the 
binaries are released as betas then the beta testers are entitled to the 
source code.  The exception would be if the beta testing was done in house.  
Regardless of the state of the code, if binary code is distributed to another 
entity, that entity is entitled to source code.  The external entity must 
either be supplied with the source or given reasonable access to acquire the 
source.  With that being said, the original team can beta test all they want 
in house without releasing source code.  They are only obligated to release 
the source when they distribute binaries to external entities.  On top of 
that, I believe they are only obligated to give the source to those they gave 
the binaries.  However, they are NOT allowed to take away the freedoms 
offered by the GPL.  The recipient of GPL source and binaries is entitled to 
the same freedoms as the distributor.  So, for example, the external beta 
testers who received the binaries (if any) are entitled to the source code 
and may distribute at no cost or commercially the code to world+dog if they 
so choose.  Again, I am no lawyer.

  With no development, and no application being done, there's no code being
  released anyway. It may actually have been something useful but we may
  never know that now. Strict interpretation of rules and regulations;
  while not a bad thing at all, may itself be judged as draconian as the
  Everlasting Usurious Leasing Attack used by a certain proprietary
  software company.


Hey, if my choice is no package or a package that violates the GPL then I'll 
go with no package!  That being said, my understanding was that the 
development was continuing but that they would simply not being distributing 
binaries or source until they reached a stable point.  If that's how they 
choose to do it, that is their right.  We should be happy that the GPL will 
not be violated.

 the point is,  the player was able to play DivX files. And to do that,
 it took code from Xvid and FFMPEG. the authors admitted to it,
 but kept making closed-source releases and telling people to wait at
 least six months for the source (maybe it's ok because they
 were only betas?)

If the binaries were distributed to external beta testers, than those testers 
were entitled to the source.


  and now they aren't. Temporarily apparently. The problem seems to be
  (according to the FAQ they have posted) that they won't release the
  application to the general public until there's a GPLed compiler


This may be a problem with the licensing of available compilers.  This is not 
a GPL problem.  There is nothing about GPL compilers or source code covered 
by the GPL that mandates a GPL compiler.  Therefore, this choice of compiler 
must be for other reasons.  We should applaud them for holding out for Free 
Software solutions.

 i think closed-source software is very necesary, even in Linux. And i
 also believe that most GPL die-hards will have to learn to live with that.
 I'm too much of a recently-arrived foreigner in the Linux community to
 turn into a insert license/product/belief here-diehard, but still, the
 way i understood the situation, i felt a little pissed off.

Closed-source software is philosophically flawed, but that's an entirely 
different debate.

 (and i'm going to add a question here: is GPL's legal validity proven
 yet? as in lawsuits or something? i think some time ago i read something
 about it not being really tested for in-court real value)


While the GPL has not made it to court, let's recall that it has a strong 
lawyer influence and that many GPL violations including those from some 
substantial companies have been settled in the favor of Free Software.  The 
GPL is not something to be taken lightly or dismissed as legally unsound.

Terry,

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I believe you can control
which IP addresses you can broadcast to.  

Out or curiosity - can the Macs successfully print via
your system?  If so, let me know what printer(s) you
have (I'm trying to get a new Mac to print reliably to
my Linux CUPS printer - works sort of).

Marcia,
My syslog didn't have any of the errors that you reported.  USB appeared to 
load up just fine.  I can see the printer with PrinterDrake as well as 
USBView.  Everything comes through except printouts.  Apparently a whole host 
of problems result in similar behavior.  I'll keep working on this.  If you

[newbie] Basic installation procedure

[ZeroFighter1969]

Hi all again,

I am using Mdk 9.0 and I downloaded software which I would like to use for my study 
(Antivir,Imici and so on), but I can not install them. I would like to install 
software using console. I knew some command, for example, -zxvf or ./, but I tend to 
fail installations. I would like to ask you guys how to install software and how you 
all guys recognize installation procedure?? Even I look at READ ME, I do not 
understand installation procedure. Where can I learn software installation step by 
step?

Cheers,

Oyaji

I'd given up hope on this.  Please tell me what model, and where you bought

 Sorry about the extremely late reply to your question about this, but I

 been able to use both of them just fine.  The only thing I can't do is
 read from both at once, or copy back and forth between them.  Which, for
 me, is no problem at all, since I have no need to.  Other than that, it
 works like a charm.  Hope that helps some.
