Fra gli errata del sito indicato cè scritto di rimuovere l'immissione del GATEWAY, ho cancellato la riga GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 ma senza risultato. Boh. Anche facendo tail -f /var/log/messages non viene fuori nulla di interessante O il route è unreachable o l'host è sconosciuto. Sono riuscito a far funzionare sta benedetta connessione !! Il problema era un instradamento errato dei pacchetti... cioè andavano sulla sk di rete al posto del modem! Ho risolto inserendo il gateway con il comando route. route add default gw 212.245.255.2 --questo è il DNS primario della Wind. prima però ho tolto il GATEWAY da /etc/sysconfig/network volendo guardare c'è ancora qualche problema perchè quando lancio kppp mi appare anche Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device e non so perchè cmq quello poco importa, ci penserò più avanti perchè tanto a breve dovrò formattare prima però volevo fare un pò di prove con samba. ciao Davide

I think they fear that some will join, download StarOffice and other premiuum goodies and then block their credit card from further charges. A risk for sure, but it could probably be minimized with certain procedures. I think they could really increase their revenue as a lot more people would join if they could pay that way. Also I'd like to hear from anyone who has purchased the 'Definitive guide to using Mandrake Linux' book. It sounds like it could either be an invaluable resource or a rehash of the Mandrake documentation. I ordered one. It was just announced today, so I doubt anyone has seen it yet. Deno posted a link to the TOC on the Club site. I'm sure some of it is a rehash, but it looks to me like it has a lot more stuff than the default docs, including server configuration and stuff. I joined the Club instead of buying a Pack, so I don't have the 9.0 manuals, so I don't care much if it is a rehash. Also, Deno indicated in a follow-up post that an html version will be going up for Club member access. That might be a reason to skip the book and just go for the club membership. -- Greg Even if they agreed tp put a HTML version online version for memebers there are plenty of reasons to still get a hardcopy such as the fact that club members get a good discount, a hard copy is simply much nicer to read and, last but not least, we can help Mandrake by buying one.

Re: [newbie] kde rewrites .desktop files
thanks for help, i'll try your advise. is this a bug or a feature? i also noticed that kde (i guess) replaces my own menu structure (defined in ~/.kde) with the system one (/usr/share/applnk-mdk) when i remove package with rpmdrake-remove. i will check out whether permissions-change solves this problem too. thanks again. cheers, joe Damian Gatabria wrote: On Thursday 27 de February 2003 11:45, Jozef Riha wrote: i always manually edit the Icon item (add my path to my icons) in some .desktop files (in ~/.kde/share..). the problem is that sometimes kde just goes mad and rewrites all the .desktop files to their original state.. this really sets me up. why should i always backup ~/.kde?? do you think that restart X (c+a+bs) might bother? thank you for your answer, kind regards, jozef riha I've seen that happen a lot of times.

[newbie] worried
Now don't get me wrong I love linux and have been with Mandrake since v6.0 though I must say in my opinion v9.0 is not one of it's best, perhaps, sorry, definately a bit hasty with this release! Anyway the point is I've just upgraded my windows98 to XP and I must admit in all fairness for the desktop, I know nothing of computers, average user, XP is better. Now before I get flamed let me explain. I run a small 500mhz Athlon with 64mg memory but for speed and effeiciency XP is by far the fastest. My Md9 is a minimal installation (although having most of the HD) but still pales in comparison to XP even when a large number of apps are working. With XP I boot and hey-presto I'm logging in with Md9 I can make a brew etc etc. (well not literally but you get the point) I beleive that as far as the end user is concerned speed is the most important factor. Not how much software is free or that linux is more stable and reliable. The average user wants speed. You click on an icon and up pops the application IMMEDIATELY!!! With XP even my little 500 acheives this performance but alas (and I mean that with a heavy heart) Md9 is a slow monolith beleiving that placing god knows how many apps into their installation cd's will convert new customers.

It's basically a 38 MB programme that creates for you a kernel for the purpose of loading into memory along with other programmes like partimage. You run the disc to the prompt and run the programme you want in our case partimage which is on the disc as well as other programmes, like fdisk or cfdisk. Like Partition Magic uses a boot floppy and a programme floppy, Gentoo uses a Boot CD with partimage on it . I see - so this is a cut-down Gentoo to provide the platform + partimage. It's downloading now, so we'll see how I go. Anne That's substancially right, it can also be used to install gentoo's OS . I don't know anything about that aspect, never having seen or heard of it before, but the gentoo boot disc which this is creates a kernel for your computer and you then go on to download the OS directory off the net, whether that download is a download of a whole bunch of rpm's which then have to be manually installed or whether you are in fact downloading and installing the binaries I don't know. Anyway we are interested in this Gentoo basic boot version for the purpose of creating a working kernel and installing partimage for backup purposes. Once the kernel is configured, it's quite quick, the kernel and partimage are loaded into memory, like all the best image backup programmes. That leaves you free to do anything to anything partition wise, with the added advantage for those who require it you can configure an internet connection and install image files over the net.
