Ciao grazie Secondo me non ci riesci. Dovresti installare una distro più vecchia MDK 8.1 per esempio. Le nuove distro sono progettate per processori i586 e superiori. Se ben ricordo l'ultima Mandrake compilata per intel386 era la 5.2. Se sbaglio sbaglio di poco. Tutte quelle più recenti sono compilate per (classe) Pentium, di alcune release (7.1 ?) era stata fatta anche una versione per i386 ma non ne trovo più traccia sui mirror Mandrake. Quindi bisogna orientarsi su altre distro: Debian, Slack al massimo RH. Se non sbaglio la SuSE richiede un 486. ciao, Andrea

[newbie] Mandrake 9.1 Installation Problem
I wrote earlier that under Mandrake 9.0 I had a message Kenel panic : No init found at boot-up. Thanks to Stephen Kuhn, dfox and Leonardo Diciolla for your advice, but I lacked the confidence and knowledge to follow your suggestions. I tried to upgrade to Mandrake 9.1. After a successful installation I got the message something like KDE not installed at boot-up. I thought I had selected KDE as the graphical interface. I upgraded again, but got the same message. I then did an install of Mandrake 9.1. Once again I had a successful installation. However, on boot-up, all I got was a screen with the message :- Mandrake Linux release 9.1 for i586 Kenel 2.4.21-0.13mdk on an i686/tty1 Localhost login: I logged in as John - the user I had set up - and, as far as I can see (being a complete beginner), I seemed to be in a full-screen mode shell. However, I cannot see any way to minimize the shell and I can't see any evidence of KDE or any other graphical interface. To check that I hadn't overridden any crucial default in the installation, I re-installed but got the same result. I am now completely stuck for what to do. Any suggestions very gratefully received.

Create an extra partition to use for /home. How big depends in part on how many users there are on your system. In our small home lan there is a certain amount of home space used for backing up important data. My /home is 6.6 GB, of which 5.1 GB is in use. It will show up in your directory tree as /home, with subdirectories for every user you create. To set it up, during install, elect to do a manual (maybe expert?) partitioning - I can't remember the exact wording. You will then get the opportunity to say which partition is to be your /home directory, which is /, and any others you have decided to set up manually (I don't bother with any more, some people do). The advantage to having a /boot separate partition is that if you install a second version of Mandrake (say when 9.2 comes out) you will have less editing to do to make the multiboot work - but it's up to you, it's not difficult. The only other think that I can think of is deciding which format to use. Do choose a journaling file system. There are many arguments as to which is the best type, but for simplicity for a newbie I would recommend ext3. It's better at recovery if anything goes wrong than the basic ext2, withouth complications that can happen on the very rare occasions that Reiser etc go wrong.

[newbie] Cannot install 9.1 on Vaio
Hi, could someone please help me to install mdk 9.1 on a Vaio PCG-Z600TEK? It has an external pcmcia cd-rom. When I installed mdk 8.1 I used a special boot disk called pcmcia-vaio-memorystick.img that I found in the errata page. With mdk 9.1 there is no equivalent img file. I tried to use the pcmcia.img or to specify ide2=0x180,0x386 on expert mode but both methods didn't work: the machine hangup after PCMCIA support configuration. In the HW database my Vaio is reported to be compatible with mdk 9.1. Please help me.

Hey. I'm rather new to the linux world, i've tried distros such as RedHat and previous versions of Mandrake (actually every versions since 8.2). In all the distros i've tried, ELX linux was the only one that i could listen to MP3's with. I've downloaded Mandrake 9.1 today and, since i prefer the Gnome interface to KDE's, i run it with Gnome (but it doesnt work more with KDE). The first thing i tried was opening XMMS and trying to play MP3s (thost mp3's are on a separate FAT32 drive, /mtc/win_c). It didn't work. XMMS even froze up after a while. So i tried to figure it out by myself by searching linuxdoc and manpages to no avail. Then i suddenly got a genius idea: I tried to play a video file. Surprisingly, Xine has no problem with my audio, seems to be only XMMS and well system beeps an such. Is the problem related with XMMS, or Gnome, or the fact that my MP3's are on a mounted FAT drive?

Re: [newbie] KDE and Gnome hangs

When you are paying a programmer $50-100K/yr, another $1100 or so for MS Visual Dev Stuido isn't that big of deal. -Original Message- From: Eko Budiharto [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 08:09:35 +0700 Subject: Re: [newbie] Why do you choose Linux ? Well, for personal use, it is partial money issue. But for in the corporate environment, it is a big issue, because developing with Microsoft very expensive. Microsoft charges per head for development softwares. With Linux, you can develop for free with Java, Perl, etc. On Sunday 30 March 2003 01:47 pm, Marc Oestreicher wrote: I guess it is partially about money for me. A few years ago when I knew almost nothing about computers I was more or less forced to buy a computer with windoze 98 installed, to the best of my knowledge that was the only thing available on any name brand computer and I sure did not know enough at the time to build my own at that time. I latter found out about the way that microsoft strong arms computer manufactures into building and selling only machines with windoze products installed. I also found out a hell of a lot of other things about how microsoft does business and none were to my liking. Due to the fact that my first machine came with windoze 98 installed I have a windoze 98 disk that I could use on any of the machines that I own now. It would be a bit unstable, need to waste resources on virus protection and have a number of security holes ECT but it would be capable of doing anything that I wanted to do. However I would much rather spend a few dollars on a operating system done by a honest decent company than continue to use stuff done by a dishonest corrupt monolopy. I was involved in cooperate America long enough to understand microsoft style business practices and I prefer not to support that sort of company in any way shape or form!!!

[newbie] Monitor trouble.
I have just changed my monitor from a CRT one to a TFT one. The old monitor was running with the same settings as the new one requires - 1024x768 at 75Hz. The new one works well with Windows98 and with Libranet. I did not have to change anything in Libranet, the new monitor just worked. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in Mandrake9.0. As I said, the settings will be correct. All is well during booting, until I get to the KDM log-in screen. Then the screen goes blank and nothing further happens. So I can't look at the monitor settings in the Mandrake control Centre to see if I can spot anything wrong. I then did a fresh clean install on a spare hard drive. All went smoothly until I got to setting up the monitor. I spent ages trying different monitor settings, but every time I tested the settings, I got a blank screen. Then it went back to the monitor set-up menu and the screen sprang back to life. So it appears to me, to be something to do with the XWindows set-up. But I don't know what, or how to overcome the problem. If it is, why are things OK in Libranet, but not in Mandrake? Very confusing! If anyone can offer suggestions as to how I can solve this problem, I would be very grateful. Many thanks Cheers Keith. P.S. Writing and sending this with Libranet, using the new monitor.

Re: [newbie] No sound!
You are right , there is nothing on my web site which describes your problem. If you can hear audio with xine, then obviously you have drivers installed and working.

Nope, it first was using aRts sound server, i switched that to alsa and now i can actually see the trackbar in XMMS scrolling, which it wasn't doing previously (it was failing connecting to the aRts soundserver obviously).

[newbie] Observation: Differences in Mandrake and Redhat
For all that don't know, I was a proponent of RedHat for 10 years and only up until recently did I actually quit playing with MDK and start using full time on my primary workstation/server. Meanwhile, I just wanted to express some of what I've observed from a workstation/server perspective as far as overall performance goes: * Samba works faster than I've ever seen it work before. I don't know if it's because of just the overall setup, or the ReiserFS that I use; but it's blazing - whereas on RH - no matter what kind of setup I've done, there is always a lag time/refresh time that begins to get rather annoying. It's important for me to use Samba for in-home and for clients/customers - and with performance like this - it truly outshines anything I've done before with a RH server - and this is 9.1rc2 !! * System wide performance is astounding - even though I tweak the daylights outta RH after an installation, I ain't come close to this type of performance and response. * WINE performance blows away any of the RH's that I've seen. * Graphics. What more can I say - great overall system performance coupled with a great NVidia graphics card, self-compiled NVidia drivers; enough to make a geek wet his pants. CUBE flies, any games fly, desktops are clean, crisp and basically just fly... * Networking et. al. is much more responsive and faster - NFS imports/exports - Samba (mentioned before) - ftp, telnet, vnc - more responsive. * KDE 3.1 is killer - too bad the KDE 3.1 on RedHat 9 is still chopped/hacked to death by the RH team - hence it sucks. Gnome sucks on both platforms and that's sad because it used to be a great WM/Desktop, but the Gnome team has been out with the fairies for the past 8 months and I don't think they're coming back any time soon. * VMWare performance is by far faster and less of a burden on the system than it was under RH 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 and 8.0.92 - dunno if it's because of the advanced kernel version, or what - but it's nice to have a bit more response running XP under linux et. al. * RH is still easier to compile programs under, but I'm not doing that much anymore with the amount of RPM's that are created - by TexStar or by the community at large... * Porn viewing is quicker (did I put that in there?) Joking! * POP/IMAP server functionality and network performance are phenomenal. (Using SENDMAIL, FETCHMAIL, PROCMAIL - wows me to no end) I'm not swaying from my path now - I'm rather happy with the results of the past two months and am going to pursue this course; I'm considering using MDK for custom-built servers when required as the network performance and Samba performance exceed what I initially expected. Now that I know how to GET RID OF POSTFIX and use SENDMAIL instead, I don't forsee any problems with that in a large scale environment. Although I haven't played around with RAID in MDK, I don't foresee any problems in that respect - and with the amount of file system choices, I'm happy I don't have to see out custom made mods to have a different file system - RH is very strict on what they issue for standard file systems. I used to whinge about the file system layout - putting things in the /usr/X11R6 subdirs never seemed good for me - but ya know, the more I screw around with it, the better I like the idea - now I know where my alternative wm's are located without having a hugely cluttered up /usr/share.

In the meantime, I found a used external modem ... I plugged it in as is, turned it on, and used modemconf ... it said there was no modem ... what's the initial impression?

As pgsql admin, use createuser and createdb commands to create a user and database, then use these thereafter. If user and database have the same name, then that user simply enters 'pgsql' to get an interactive session. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Nvidia driver from texstar install / M9.1
You should be able to uncomment the line for dbe extension. Also since the log shows it is failing when it is trying to detect the screen I am wondering if it is your screen config it does not like. You could try reducing the default colour depth as an experiment DefaultColorDepth 16 and you could try selecting a monitor with a higher refresh rate.

Hi all, I was wondering; using ssh -C -X IPadress_of.remote.host works fine in exporting the Xserver. Problem is the sound..me and my teenage daughter decided we wanted to play tower toppler downstairs, where the game itself was installed on the PC upstairs. Consequence: My wife searched all over the place for the leaking fawcet she heard, not noticing that the PC was on. Anybody got any pointers on how to get sound working remotely?

[newbie] Problem with firewall
Hello all, I live in a student residence in Aachen in Germany. I have internet access in my room, the problem is that the firewall they've installed is configured in a way that instead of blocking ports, everytime someone uses a forbiden port, he gets automatically banned from using internet! The first time it happened to me, I've learned that there's an incompatibility between CUPS searching for network printers and the firewall. They say it was port 511. So I've disabled CUPS service. Acouple of days later I get network again, but after a few hours running ok, BAMM! no network again. This time it was port 541. The first time I was blocked, I was using Mandrake 9.0, and the second time I had just installed 9.1 and disabled CUPS. I think I was trying to use Kopete with ICQ plugin when I went down. -Is there anyway I can check which ports my PC trying to use whithout being connected? I'm afraid to plug in the cable, because I don't know which service may knock my connection down. - Does Mandrake Firewall block outgoing ports, or just incoming connections? if the latest is true how can I block outgoing ports?? Thanks in advance Best Regards Pedro Alves Portugal
