Re: [newbie] Installing RC2, never asked for CD2 or CD3
To anybody interested, I submitted this to Bugzilla (finally figured out how to use the damn thing) and heard back from a developer that I was not prompted for CDs 2 and 3 because I had less than 64MB on that machine. With 64MB or more, the install makes a RAMdisk and the installation runs from that, allowing the machine to unmount CD1 and put in other CDs. With less than 64MB, the install runs directly from the CD and thus cannot unmount CD1 for the others. I actually have 64MB stick in the machine, but a 1MB is eaten by video.

Thanks YPK I'm used to sorting Z52/ Z53's out but remind me, is the X75 a stand alone printer, or is it a scanner/printer machine ? If you have a scanner/printer I'm guessing if it doesn't work with an earlier version of a scanner/printer in ghostscript it isn't supported yet. On the other hand , if your X75 is a stand alone, you may stand a chance with updated software from the cooker sourceforge people. Don't be fooled by gimpprint, it's only a graphical front end, the real buiness is done with libgimpprint, and it will require a version that supports X75 if one exists. In addition, check with the lexmark website they do have some proprietary linux software for some of their printers. Most of the time it isn't easy to configure, though as they are rpm's they install easy enough.The technical staff at Lexmark are not that knowledgeable of linux printer setups. On the whole I think the X75's are to new for drivers to be out yet, but I guess they will be added in due course.

Re: [newbie] Updating Mozilla
I normally upgrade using the tarball from mozilla.org. 1. delete /usr/local/mozilla (don't know if it is necessary) 2. run the mozilla-installer you downloaded and untarred, as root 3. run mozilla as root, exit after it starts 4. run as normal user. 5. update the links to the plugins (Flash, Java...) under the 'plugin' diretcory, as root One important thing: the installer creates under /usr/local/mozilla a number of directories and files. For some reason, the 'components' directory gets created with wrong attributes, so mozilla can run only for root. Before you can run as normal user, you need to # chmod og+rx components as root. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I now have Mozilla 0.98 and Galeon 1.0.3, which came as RPMs with Mandrake 8.2.

Then, to your questions : So if I understand this correctly, then the NTFS support in Mandrake 9.0 is read-only? Yes, but rumours tell that Mandrake 9.1 will do the job. I did just try to write to an NTFS partition on my test computer and it did not work. In that case, is there any third party drivers or utilities that will allow you to write to an NTFS partition from Linux? Same as above. I would like the users home directory, i.e. - /home/userid to be on a partition that is readable from both Linux and Windows. In that case you must create your /home directory as a FAT32 partition (which is a very bad idea indeed - no security at all) and - furthermore - make it the first partition after the Windows - partitions, as Windows is unable to *see* beyond any non-windows filesystem. I saw in userdrake that you can redirect the home directory. Can it be redirected to a FAT partition from userdrake or does it have to be on a linux FS? Of course I would prefer something that is a little more secure, but I can probably deal with FAT32 if need be. Same as above. But a lot of people make a separate FAT32 partition between Windows and Linux. That way you can read and write to this partition from both worlds. And so can other users on your Linux-box. That's why You can keep your private stuff private on a linux-partion. If you want to, make a script or a cron-job that regularly copies your files - or some of them - to the FAT32 partition so you can use them from Windows as well.

Thanks for the help, Brian John Richard Smith wrote, Yes , you can only read and transfer over to linux from ntfs partitions. I have heard suggestions that they are working on it, and so perhaps sometime in the future you may be able to write to an ntfs partition. We all format our linux partitions in any of the linux file systems. They are all good file systems , better than ntfs. If you intend writing to ntfs partitions people create a fat32 partition, you use it as a go between , and thereby achieve the same thing. By the way are you ever likely to have more than one linux OS on, because if so it's easiest to have a /boot partition, where all the kernels and initrd files all get put automatically by the install programmes, you write your lilo stanzas , as I'm sure you must have done by now, using the lilo install element of the install programme. Your idea of using the /home partition for both windblows and linux is not possible. They each have their own home setup . Lilo is a good boot manager, so stay with it. I'm sure you noticed you never need to defrag, it's done for you after so many mount counts at boot time. There are also programmes to let you use Windblows programmes while booted to linux, I don't use them myself, but many linux users do. If you must have windblows like apps there is open office which are basically office clones, at least they work with windblowd files, other apps use their own custom made files and these are not readily interchangeable with windblows. Once you have had some time to get used to linux you will find your way about readily enough. Some things are much easier other things not so easy. Installing programmes in linux is a tease for newbies, packages rarely come complete, you will find a lot of dependency problems that baffle to begin with. Most things do not work straight off but can nearly always be made to work. Many applications have graphical front ends to commandline backends.

[newbie] CDROM takes minutes to mount
It takes a few minutes to mount a CDROM on my drive using Mandrake 9.0. This is too long. I have a dual-boot machine, choice of SuSE or Mandrake. There is no working Microsoft software on the machine. With SuSE it takes less than a second to mount the CDROM. I suspect very strongly that this is a software problem. While booting, I get the following relevant-looking messages: ... ... hdd: HL-DT-DT CD-ROM GCR-8520B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ... ... hdd: lost interrupt hdd: lost interrupt hdd: lost interrupt hdd: ATAPI 52x CD-ROM drive, 128kN Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 ... ... I mount the CDROM (it happens to be the second Mandrake installation CD) with the following command: mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom (except on SuSE I mount it on /cdrom instead of /mnt/cdrom. Oh yes, SuSE does not give me the lost interrupt messages either.) It then sits around for a few minutes, and finally comes back mounted. The Mandrake I use is the Mandrake PowerPack Edition 9.0, but during installation it would not look at any but the first installation CD. It also seems to have failed to install emacs. I encountered this problem while trying to add additional installation sources. Starting up the Mandrake Control Centre took more than four minutes. A little hard to understand if this is just a thin shell for launching other programs. Then it tales a long time to start up the sources manager, and finally, showing it the other CD's takes a long time. When I actually got the second installation CD mounted, I still dod not succeed in getting it to look at it. since (a) I can't figure out what I am to fill in as relative path to synthesis/hdlist. The manual just tells me that if I don't understand what it is talking about I will be wise to leave the window via cancel instead of save changes. and (b) Adding a source dies, and just leaves blank windows lying around forever. I suppose it might just be in suspended animation waiting for the CDROM drive, but leaving it that way overnight provides no progress.

My main bank account is HSBC, and works fine from Mozilla! Unfortunately, my branch is difficult to get to (disability/parking problems) so as I shop in Tesco I use a Tesco Savings account, pay in whatever cash I have left from my Incapacity Benefit after doing my shopping, and transfer it by internet from the Tesco account to the HSBC account to cover cheques, direct debits etc. I had another look on the Tesco site - they use ActiveX. They have special software, which you have to download into IE. I tried the uabar with Mozilla, but although it said it had downloaded nothing appeared - what does it look like and where would it be? I also tried Konqueror with the Agent changed to pretend to be IE on Win98 - didn't work. In the long term, I hope Tesco will become enlightened and produce software that will run on Linux. In the short term, I can keep the Win98 machine running and just use it for banking. In the medium term... I'm sure Linux has a solution somewhere...

Winblows don't support any Linux file system. So put Winblows partitions first because it will stop reading the partition table when it encounter the first partition it doesn't understand. The FAT32 partition is for saving files or directory I want to share between Mandrake and XP. If you are going to use MySQL, I recommend you to set it up in Linux. Performance difference is huge. I have a database creation sql script that takes 22 seconds in XP and 1.1 second in Mandrake. Same machine. NTFS in XP and Reiser in Mandrake. mysql 4.0.11a. There is no error: 22 without period and 1.1. Just amazing. (I can send you the script off list if you don't believe it). Finally, if you want to use both OS at the same time, try VMware. You can download a one month trial version at www.vmware.com. I case you decide to use VMware you don't need any FAT32 partition. Share a drive or directory in XP and connect to it using Samba.

If in two years research I have not been able to find an explanation of how CUPS deals with PostScript fonts then they probably cannot afford the time to follow up my query. It is obviously not something anybody can answer off the top of their head. So I will continue poking around. Thanks also for the information re PCL5 and PCL3. I had not come across that. The printer is an HP Deskjet 940C by the way. HP deskjet940C ought to be supported, most of the HP inkjet printers are. I have an old HP670C which works quite well, but is a very noisy shake rattle and roll printer, compared to my Lexmark Z51 + Z52's. I would be surprized if HP 940C is not supported, or have I misunderstood, perhaps it does work but you need more fonts ? IIRC the 940 is a slower version of the 990, which I use. I have no problems per se, but different programs have different capabilities in handling fonts and complex layouts. Have you tried the same output in a different package? It would tell you, perhaps, whether that is the source of your problem. Oddly enough I find OO.o better on my system than SO6 in handling these things. Agreed. Importing TrueType fonts into OO.o seemed easier than in StarOffice. -- Len Lawrence -- Never argue with a fool -- people might not be able to tell the difference. -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So put Winblows partitions first because it will stop reading the partition table when it encounter the first partition it doesn't understand. Both of these statements are untrue for Win2k/XP. I read somewhere (sorry, don't remember where - I'm pretty sure it was on the ext2 project page) that there is an apparently fairly stable filesystem driver for Win2k/XP that allows it to use ext2 filesystems. And I run Win2k, and it has no trouble just skipping partitions it doesn't recognize and continuing on with ones beyond that. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
