It has been brought to our attention by several officials visiting our establishment in Rome that offensive language is commonly used by our Italian speaking staff. Such behaviour, in addition to violating our policy, is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and staff. All personnel will immediately adhere to the following rules: Words like cazzo, porca puttana or mi sono rotto il cazzo and other such expressions will not be tolerated or used for emphasis or dramatic effect, no matter how heated a discussion may become. You will not say ha fatto una cazzata when someone makes a mistake, or se lo stanno inculando if you see someone being reprimended, or che stronzata when a major mistake has been made. All forms and derivations of the verb cagare are utterly inappropriate and unacceptable in our environment. No project manager, section head or administrator under any circumstances will be referred as figlio di puttana, coglione, testa di cazzo. Lack of determination will not be referred to as mancanza di palle nor will persons who lack initiative be referred to as bradipo or cagone. Unusual or creative ideas offered by the management are not to be referred as pippe mentali or idee del cazzo. Do not say come rompe le palle nor ha rotto i coglioni if a person is persistent; do not add gli fa ancora male il culo if a colleague is going through a difficult situation. Furthermore, you must not say siamo nella merda (refer to item # 2) nor ci hanno aperti when a matter becomes excessively complicated. When asking a someone to leave you alone, you must not vattene affanculo nor should you ever substitute May I help you? With che cazzo vuoi? Under no circumstances should you ever call your elderly industrial partners vecchi stronzi. Do not say me ne sbatto when a relevant project is presented to you, nor should you ever answer ciucciami il cazzo when your assistance is required. You should never call partners as frocio or mignotta; the sexual behavior of our staff is not to be discussed in terms such as culattone or bagascia. Last but not least, after reading a note please don't say mi ci pulisco il culo. Just keep it clean and dispose of it properly. Thank you.

Ciao , Tom per quanto riguarda i plugins di mozilla io ho fatto cosi'. ti scarichi quella sventolona di pacchetto rpm.bin da sito di sun per avere java j2sdk-1_4_0_01-fcs-linux-i386.rpm.bin e se uso j2sdkee-1_31-linux.tar.gz (sempre che non sia corrotto anche questo!!!) puo andare bene? che mi dite? e lo installi prima eseguendo da consolle il file dopo averlo reso eseguibile, ti leggi tutta e dico tutta la licenza sun , accetti e ti scompatta il tuo bel rpm che andrai ad installare. a questo punto ti ritrovi java installato in file:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610 e ci fai un link alla cartella plugin del tuo mozilla ( io preferisco usare le nightily version ed installarmelo io , non amo i font con anti aliasing che mandrake utilizza) per quanto riguarda kaffe' il consiglio e' di disinstallarlo e poi fare un *cd /usr/bin rm java javac jar ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/java java ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/javac javac ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/jar jar* questo ti permette di linkare gli eseguibili di java al posto di quelli fittizi di kaffe. a questo punto hai java installato nella tua linux box ...

Ciao , Tom per quanto riguarda i plugins di mozilla io ho fatto cosi'. ti scarichi quella sventolona di pacchetto rpm.bin da sito di sun per avere java j2sdk-1_4_0_01-fcs-linux-i386.rpm.bin e se uso j2sdkee-1_31-linux.tar.gz (sempre che non sia corrotto anche questo!!!) puo andare bene? che mi dite? e lo installi prima eseguendo da consolle il file dopo averlo reso eseguibile, ti leggi tutta e dico tutta la licenza sun , accetti e ti scompatta il tuo bel rpm che andrai ad installare. a questo punto ti ritrovi java installato in file:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610 e ci fai un link alla cartella plugin del tuo mozilla ( io preferisco usare le nightily version ed installarmelo io , non amo i font con anti aliasing che mandrake utilizza) per quanto riguarda kaffe' il consiglio e' di disinstallarlo e poi fare un *cd /usr/bin rm java javac jar ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/java java ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/javac javac ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/jar jar* questo ti permette di linkare gli eseguibili di java al posto di quelli fittizi di kaffe. a questo punto hai java installato nella tua linux box ...

Ho già sentito questa definizione, ma non ho trovato spiegazioni; molto semplicemente, va a cambiare alcuni parametri relativi alla priorità con le quali verranno eseguiti i processi. Nasce per un uso client di GNU/Linux, con l'esplicito consiglio di NON usarla su server.. in definitiva le applicazioni di uso comune hanno tempi di reazione migliori (a scapito di eventuali servizi in background, raramente usati su macchine desktop) procedimento, una volta compilato il kernel (vanilla presumo), in che cosa consiste? è un bel pò che non ricompilo con la preemptive (che sembra verrà aggiunta ai kernel 2.6 ...) fino qualche tempo addietro non era possibile compilare alcuni moduli, quindi: -si compilava il kernel liscio, con i relativi moduli, dopo il riavvio e le prove di rito, -si applicava la patch ai sorgenti del kernel -si ricompilava solo bzImage credo che le ultime versioni possano aver risolto questi problemi e che si possa fare una unica compilazione . (non nego di averla provata in passato anche su qualche server, con risultati non buoni, e con problemi a far funzionare NFS, segno che un pò di strada dovevano farla..) Mi sono riferito in particolare alla mandrake, perchè con la 7.2 e il 2.4.1 con patch preemptive andava davvero velocissima, molto molto meglio del 2.2.18 (o 19?..) originale, forse proprio grazie alla schedulazione diversa dei diecimila servizi che mandrakkia usa per fare tutto...

RE: [newbie] Kernels
I'll answer the second question first.. don't install 2.5.x if you want a stable system, its a dev kernel.. eventually to become standard when it hits 2.6.x. as for the 2.2.10 kernel, no, don't run it on a mandrake system, you'll have all manner of probs. better you join the kernel mailing list and get directions to get a patch for the 2.4.18/19 kernels...

As usual Mandrake have made a rod for their own backs by releasing the download edition *weeks* before they are ready to ship the boxed sets so creating dissatisfaction among purchasers of the boxed sets, and driving potential sales towards the download edition. They do it because they really truly believe in the spirit of OpenSource. Where Suse will delay releasing the online edition until *after* boxed sets are in the shops, and then make it difficult to get the online edition by making it network install only, Mandrake allow free and easy access of an edition with everything but commercial applications. They should be applauded for it. But it makes lousy business sense. Personally I find Mandrake Club a better way of supporting Mandrake than buying boxed sets. I get access to the same packages as in the boxed sets (sans StarOffice), and more of the money ends up in Mandrake's pocket as opposed to distribution channels. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If your router is working for windows already and has run OK on RH8 the it MUST be your MD9 TCP/IP settings that are incorrect.

If you know the IP of an ISP or favourite web site, try to ping it by name and by IP. If you get a response by IP only then the DNS settings are wrong, if you get no response to either then the gateway is wrong and leads me to ask can you ping your router (by IP) ??

Re: [newbie] Smartmedia Reader
In a word yes. I have a Zio USB SM reader which is RW in Windows but read only in Linux - (Pauses to plug it in, insert SM card and check that it is readable) For my convenience I created a mount point /mnt/Zio which uses /dev/sda1 as it's device, then I just go to Removable media, click on Zio and it opens /mnt/memory_card which I didn't create - it was done by the system and does not appear as Removable media. I then navigate through to mnt/memory_card/dcim/100olymp which is the naming convention used by my camera in this case and open the image, which I can then save onto the HD. I can, and have copied files over to a windows directory and saved them to SM that way. If it helps my fstab and mtab are posted below - BTW supermount works for me.

However, both 8.2 and 9.0 installs give an error No CDROM device found in the initial stages of the install itself. Have you tried disabling the PNP settings in BIOS?

Because I have a PCI-IDE bridge too and when I plugged my CDRom and the hard disk into this controller and boot from the floppy using the cdrom.img on it, the install starts recognizing these. However this way, I cannot use CDROMs and my main HDD to boot my PC at all (will have to use floppy all the time) and I dont wish to configure this way.

OK, so whereas symlinks are system functional, aliases are bash script functional and in effect save time and effort initiating programmes that are themselves various versions of bash, and bash scripts, like perl, and python, but then forgive me if I'm wrong but haven't I seen aliases that start programmes, which in themselves are not bash scripts, or is that not so , and in fact there is a bash script but it's embedded in some way so you don't really see it in some file that starts the whole app. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

John John, let me give you an example of how aliases work for me. I use WineX to play Windog games under Linux. Sometimes, the commands to start these games are a little, well...long winded. For example, to run Half-Life here, I use the command (all one line): winex /home/darklord/.transgaming/c_drive/SIERRA/Half-Life/hl.exe -console -gl -gldrv Default -w 1024 -game MOD Obviously, typing this in all the time would be a real drag, so I put an alias into /home/darklord/.bashrc (all one line): alias halflife='winex /home/darklord/.transgaming/c_drive/SIERRA/Half-Life/hl.exe -console -gl -gldrv Default -w 1024 -game MOD' Now, I just type in halflife and the game starts. Its just another way to make life easier for yourself... :-) That sounds an interesting idea, so when I run NT now called d4x and because the gui lacks a tab to tell nt that after a cutoff and ISP reconnect it must go reconnect to the web address again, I could set up an alias that would not only put up nt but also save me the bother of having to put up a terminal and type nt -r , which means reconnect, and include it with the command to initiate nt gui as well.

I looked in the archives and saw that someone else had a similar problem on a laptop in September 2002 but I saw no replies for fixes. Is there a way I can find better error messages?

Well, as you see, make and make install are not working because
your first step failed. (configure ended in error).
The output you got there means you don't hace gcc, which
is a program that is needed every time you ever need to
install software this way.
(what you downloaded is called sourcecode.
Surcecode is NOT an executable program, but rather a recipee to
make it.
gcc is the compiler. that is, the program that reads the recipee
and creates the actual executable program.
configure is a script
that checks that you have all the necesary stuff you need to proceed
with that process. It found that you are lacking the compiler.
once you
install one, configure will finish successfully and you will be able to
tell your computer to make the program. and once that is ready
and gcc produced the executable files, you can finally make install them...)
now, to install your new compiler, simply do this first:
[root@derfel LinNeighborhood-0.6.5]# urpmi gcc
urpmi is Mandrake's tool to install packages that are
included with the distribution's CDs.
(kinda like add/remove windows components but with one
difference: urpmi is not only for components of the OS, but
for any other program as well)
After you call urpmi gcc, your cd-rom tray will pop up and ask you
for you mandrake CD's. put the cd in, hit enter, and let it do it's work.
once it's finished, try to ./configure again and see what happens.
[root@derfel LinNeighborhood-0.6.5]# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[root@derfel LinNeighborhood-0.6.5]# make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
you can do these two only after configure ends successfully.
What am I doing wrong? I have spent around 3 hours trying different
LinNeighborhood rpm's from different sites and the same thing happens at
the same stage, so I figure I must be doing something wrong.
You were doing nothing wrong. the only problem is, you were executing
these commands without wnowing what they are, so you had no way
of telling what to do in case something went wrong.
