Thanks to all that offered advice on this.  I solved all my problems and 
for a few bucks ebayd a MOBO for my homeless CPU and a CPU  for my brainless 
MOBO along with a few sticks of memory. I guess I will just end up with 1 
extra machine built from my piles of used parts. 
  But I should be able to find homes for them. This is starting to get a bit 
interisting. I live near a small town , population around 500 with other 
small towns around it, the kind of place where everybody knows what all is 
going on around town and in the surrounding area and I seem to be 1 of the 
only people around that can build or repair a computer for 20 miles around. 
It's kind of a part time job or hobby at this point. People around town are 
are starting to talk about their ML boxes and people are starting to ask me 
about ML. I build at least 1 computer a month sometimes a lot more that is a 
linux machine for someone around here. Thats not a lot until you figure in 
the small total population. Another year or 2 and Norfork Arkansas and the 
surrounding area may have the highest percentage of Mandrake linux users in 
the US. The effect seems to be snowballing and I am enjoying seeing Microsoft 
getting their butts kicked on a local level. LOL

Thanks All

Well, something is definitely up with that - do you have both HD's on

[newbie] Mail setup

2003-08-10 Thread Michael Lothian
Hi

I'm not sure this is the best place for this question but here goes...

I'm getting a 2MBit broadband conection and I'd like to set a linux box 
to be my own mail server.

What's the best way to do this:

My ideal setup would be imap, pop and webmail and an ftp and web server 
as well perhaps. Oh yes and spam assasin is an essential.

Is there any setup guides for this or does Mandrake have any wizards?

Oh yes my current domain is fireburn.co.uk and my new conection will 
have a fixed ip.

Again I'm not sure about all this as I've only really used mandrake for 
playing music and watching dvds.

Thanks again

Mike

  Can you try setting the CD drive up as master on the second IDE channel. I 
have set up at least 50 machines that way and never had the problems that you 
describe. If all you are using is 1 CD drive and 1 HDD things should run 
faster using 1 drive on each IDE channel. Make sure both drives are set as 
master. Make sure that any drive set as master is at the end of the IDE 
cable. If you still have problems try the eject button every couple of 
seconds after starting the machine.

In the case of slapping hard drives into your machine and then copying
data to them, it's best to get to know HDPARM quite well, and how to
tweak drive settings with it.

After slapping the drive in your boxen and getting linux up and running
and recognising the drive, you're going to want to force some params on
it in order to get some better throughput - much better than what you
experienced today.

I honestly suggest reading very carefully through the HDPARM man pages,
but then again, I know about RTFM and how often we choose not to do
that...

So, with that said, here are some settings that I've found work about
right for every drive I slap into a system here (for basically the same
thing):

hdparm -X69 -d1 -u1 -c3 -m16 -A1 -W1 /dev/hdX

(where X is the letter of the device)

They really suck - just like their USB cameras...but in the meanwhile,
you might want to check the modem to see what it REALLY is; the RITMO

Should tell you who REALLY made it...or at least who's chipset is in
it...that generally helps to narrow down the search, mate.
