[newbie] Alternative configurations
I use a Thinkpad T40 w/ 9.2. At my desk, it is connected through a port replicator to an external monitor 1280x1024 and through a USB2 connector to an external keyboard. The keyboard is further connected through it's own USB1.1 port to a mouse. Works fine. When I try to boot when not attached to the port replicator, X starts at the external monitor's resolution, not the internal 1024x768, so only the upper left 75% of the display is visible AND neither the internal trackpad or trackpoint pointing devices are active, so I have to run GUIs using keyboard commands only. How do I get the system to detect the difference in states and activate the pointing devices and call the correct screen resoultion. It did this in 9.1, but I never made any specific settings to do this. (I'm less conerned about the screen since I know I can change that in Mandrake Control Center.)

All right so there is a bit of short term angst. But already we now know of drive deficiencies in some models armed with that knowledge you are far better empowered to make good equipement decisions than if we had not been made fully aware. I just think TWIKI needs to paint the situation in that light. As the knowledge spreads people demand better of their suppliers. It's basically ignorance that allows these slight of hand hardware matters to prevail. By cutting out built in capability and resorting to software solutions , they may get an initial sale but the user learns of the fraud eventually, and questions why they need it that way. Of course the motive is profit and monoplistic software practices. Getting the user stuck with one OS, narrowing down choice of OS's etc etc. In the end the user gets pissed off and goes else where, but they wont do that unless they become empowered with the knowledge in the first place.

Well, I am not familiar with wwwoffle, but if it is a caching proxy, then issuing a reload command will NOT draw the files from the net but will pull them from the proxy storage. The whole point of having a caching proxy is to speed up browsing time for frequently accessed pages by pulling the files from the cache instead of downloading them from the net. The only time that you download from the net is when the page is not present in the cache. So, dropping the net connection would seem like overkill if you are simply trying to minimize your bandwidth load. Better to use a caching proxy and make the cache really big.

Re: [newbie] moving mandrake to another HD
Hi, Since my last posting I did some tests.(on my system all drives are primary) It can be done to change drive positions BUT carefull attention should be given to FSTAB and BOOTLOADER. PLEASE read all of the posting before attempting the changes. Make sure you have means to access your system if anything should go wrong. In your case I would suggest the following.. .(because hdc mbr is not wrtten to and need to be written in hda)... BEFORE you log out 1-Change in fstab hdc to hda and visa versa. 2-Log out and power down. 3-Switch the HD's. 4-Power on and insert CD1 of your installation in the cdrom. 5-Go through the motions untill you reach upgrade/install - select upgrade. 6-Go thruogh the motions untill screen where a lot of configuration is required. 7-Some of the choices may need to be corrected. 8-Select bootloader - select hda - select your bootloader choice - maybe some changes required. *** ANYBODY - you are tired of your bootloader and want to change but fear a mistake - let Mandrake do it for you -Step 2 to 10. *** 9-All done choose next. 10-Go through the motions untill reboot. If all went well you should be booting in to new hda previous hdc. I have tested the above on a single HD - moving it from hde to hdg and then from hdg to hde - only changes required was in fstab. (again the other way around - and also changed bootloader - worked every time for me). (MDK 9.1 and 9.2) I will NOT suggest that this WILL work on all other PC's - you do so at your own risk. I am sure there are many other ways to do this. (even less work). If you are using grub and would like to make a GRUB boot floppy and need assistance I can give you detailed instructions to create one. It works every time for me. Feel free to ask.

You can get ranges from whois if you really want them. However, you appear to have the opportunity to do the new a valuable service. If you set up your machine to honeypot and tarpit the spammers attempting to use your mail server, you can infuriate them much more than by simply banning the IP range. There is info available on the net to allow you to do that. Short story, you set your machine up so that it doesn't relay deny attempts for relays but simply bitbuckets the message. The spammer, thinking that the relay is working starts a spam run and wastes valuable time sending messages that end up in /dev/null. With the tarpit, you rig your mail server to accept the connection attempt but then receive the traffic e v e r s osl o w l y, which wastes the spammers time and keep his connections from being used to actually send spam. By the time they figure it out, they have missed the opportunity to send tons of spam that otherwise would have gone out.

In Kmail, you will see the text part and the html part is attached as MIME and can be ignored. However, if you autobounce, you will bounce the mail back that may have actually been readable. What you might want to consider doing is bouncing html only mail.

There are many ways. The following is excerpted from the cooker twiki at http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/CookerHowTo BEGIN EXCERPT*** Via FTP from a Public Mirror Make a bootdisk from the network.img file available on any of the public Cooker mirrors. The file should be located within the cooker/i586/images/ directory of the mandrake-devel tree on the mirror. If you are already running Linux, you can use dd to copy it to a floppy disk dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 If you are not already running Linux, you can use the rawwrite utility to make the boot disk in DOS or Windows. This utility is normally located in the /mandrake/i586/dosutils directory of the mandrake-devel tree. If your system has no floppy drive, you can burn the image (network.img, pcmcia.img, or whatever) to a bootable CD-ROM. mkdir image cp network.img image mkisofs -b network.img image network.iso cdrecord dev=0,0,0 network.iso rm -fr image From a Local Mirror If you have about 6GB of diskspace available, it is faster and easier to install from a local mirror on your hard disk or on a local server. There are even scripts available to make a set of iso images that can be burned to cd to install in the traditional way. Use fmirror or rsync to create a local mirror and keep it up to date. Via NFS Over the Local Network Use the network.img image to create a boot floppy using one of the methods described above and select NFS instead of ftp. Via Hard Disk Install If your local mirror is on a partition that is on the machine you intend to install Cooker on, use the hd.img floppy image to create a boot floppy using one of the methods described above. Via Hard Disk or Network with No Floppy or CD-ROM Some machines nowadays do not have a floppy drive or a cd-rom. How does one do an installation without either of those. Well thanks to some enterprising young cookers, We have figured out how to boot the installer from the LILO or GrUB menu. Extract the necessary files from the appropriate floppy image. To do this, mount the floppy image as a loopback device in your tmp directory and then copy the appropriate files to your boot directory. cd /path/to/hd.img mount -t vfat hd.img ~/tmp/ -o loop=/dev/loop3 cp ~/tmp/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-hdimg cp ~/tmp/hd.rdz /boot umount ~/tmp Make an entry in /etc/lilo.conf if you use LILO or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you use GrUB Example entry for LILO bootloader image=/boot/vmlinuz-hdimg label=hd-install root=/dev/ram3 initrd=/boot/hd.rdz append=ramdisk_size=32000 vga=791 read-only As always, after you have finished editing /etc/lilo.conf, you need to run /sbin/lilo before your changes take effect. Example entry for GrUB bootloader title hd-install kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-hdimg root=/dev/ram3 ramdisk_size=32000 vga=791 initrd (hd0,0)/boot/hd.rdz If you want to do the same thing but are installing from an NFS or FTP source, just use the network.img floppy image instead of the hd.img floppy image. Making CD's with MakeCD MakeCD is a wrapper script that runs mkcd, and it will create a set of iso's for you to burn to CD. If you have a local Cooker mirror, it is quite easy to make you own set of disk's. It is a script located in the misc directory of the distribution tree that will make a set of ISO images to burn to CDR. The basic syntax for automatic operation is: ./misc/MakeCD -a ./ To limit the number of ISO images that are created, use the -c option followed by the number of disks you want: ./misc/MakeCD -a -c 2 ./ By default, the script makes ISO images that will fit on 650MB blanks. If you want to change this, use the --discsize option to select an alternative image size: ./misc/MakeCD --discsize 700m -a ./ -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Mukul Sabharwal wrote: Hi, How does one install the Raw tree 9.2 download edition. Do I just download the whole contents. Then just burn them ? On to 3 CD's? Thanks Easier and faster to just download the network.img file from the /images directory on any of the mirrors. Then (assuming you're already running linux) from the comand line (as root, from the directory where you saved the image) type: dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 If you are currently running some MS OS you can use rawrite to do the same thing. See: http://gulus.usherb.ca/pub/Mandrake/9.2/i586/INSTALL.txt This will write the network boot image to a floppy. Write down the ftp address of the mirror (european mirrors are generally faster). Boot from the floppy and install directly from the mirror. You will have to know what settings you use for your broadband (ie. all I need to know is that my cable modem gets an IP address using DHCP). Specify the ftp site you want to install from and you're good to go. A big advantage of an ftp install is that you only download the packages you actually want to install (total install time for me, including downloading = aprox. 2 hrs). And if (when) you decide to install more packages later you don't have to swap disks because urpmi is allready set up to get them from the mirror. Hope this helps.

RE: [newbie] Raw tree installation of mdk 9.2
Hi thanks for the reply. Well I want to know (before starting) that I have Mandrake 9.2 RC2 installed, and I have WinXP running too. Basically if I do the floppy boot, and let it run, I won't be able to do anything I presume. Anyway, that seems ok. The problem is that will it screw up my previous installation or something of XP and RC2. I do want it to go in the RC2 partition that I've created. Thanks. P.S. - Does anybody know when the ISO's come out ? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 8:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Raw tree installation of mdk 9.2 Mukul Sabharwal wrote: Hi, How does one install the Raw tree 9.2 download edition. Do I just download the whole contents. Then just burn them ? On to 3 CD's? Thanks Easier and faster to just download the network.img file from the /images directory on any of the mirrors. Then (assuming you're already running linux) from the comand line (as root, from the directory where you saved the image) type: dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 If you are currently running some MS OS you can use rawrite to do the same thing. See: http://gulus.usherb.ca/pub/Mandrake/9.2/i586/INSTALL.txt This will write the network boot image to a floppy. Write down the ftp address of the mirror (european mirrors are generally faster). Boot from the floppy and install directly from the mirror. You will have to know what settings you use for your broadband (ie. all I need to know is that my cable modem gets an IP address using DHCP). Specify the ftp site you want to install from and you're good to go. A big advantage of an ftp install is that you only download the packages you actually want to install (total install time for me, including downloading = aprox. 2 hrs). And if (when) you decide to install more packages later you don't have to swap disks because urpmi is allready set up to get them from the mirror. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you need more help, that's what we're here for. Joe. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

P.S. - Does anybody know when the ISO's come out ? Mandrake is really good about not killing your other installations. I'm currently running Mandrake 9.2 and XP just like you are. But no matter what if Mandrake or any other distro (or practically anything for that matter) screws with your bootloader and makes it impossible to boot you can boot into the recovery console through the XP install cd and run FIXMBR and it will make XP bootable again. That is unless YOU nuke your xp partition or something (read: Partition Magic Pro, etc). As for the official cd's, they're already shipping so you should probably see them popping up on mirrors shortly. Nice place to check is http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=29 . It's a little clearer than the Mandrake download page :) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[Assuming Aron is not taking the piss] You need two things: a file called .procmailrc and a directory called .procmail (you coud call it anything, but this is a common name). These go in your home directory if you're running your own mail server, or your home directory on your ISP if you're not. The .procmailrc file tells procmail what to do and looks something like this. SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash # Change if bash is somewhere different FGREP=/usr/bin/fgrep # Again, this may need to be changed. #Set on when debugging VERBOSE=off #Your mail directory MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # Could also be Mail #Directory for storing procmail log and rc files PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail #Log file LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log #Recipes INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.mail Your procmail recipes go in rc.mail inside the .procmail directory. rc.testing is for when you need a sandbox for playing around with new recipes. There are plenty of sample rc.mail files around on the web with useful recipes.
