[newbie] Burning CD´s with K3b: i finally made it.
Well i was not able to burn, copy or write to CD´s and i was losing Cd´s one after one.! There were many configuration options that i had to test to see which one would work for me. For writing to a CD from hard drive: it turned out that i had to switch from DAO mode to TAO mode. It then worked. For burning on the fly even though i had done SCSI emulation for my dvd-rom following the instructions i had got from this mailing list but still no success. It turned out that i need to pass some commands to cdrdao to have it use special drivers for the specific cd writer and dvd rom that i have. Looking at the file /usr/share/cdrdao/drivers which gives the list of drivers for various cd writers and roms, i found out what drivers cdrdao needs to use. Then i created a file .cdrdao in my home directory and wrote these lines in the file: write_device: "1,0,0" write_driver: "generic-mmc-raw" read_device: "1,1,0" read_driver: "generic-mmc". Now i am able to burn on the fly directly from cd to cd. -- Ramin M Linux user #310496 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I found a command for command line, but I decided to try gnome again. This time instead of answering no to continue I continued and this time 2 packages installed so I did ran install again and this time 6 packages didnt install. All packages were security packages. Next I tried bug fixes and 11 out of 12 failed to install. Flustered I then selected all bug fixes and (191MB) failed to install very quickly (less than a minute). I called top next and 3 processes were running, X, top, gnome terminal. CPU 4.8%, user 0.3% system 96.3& idle. The reason for running top was that the system is extreemly slow, frequently taking as much as a minute to respond. I felt it likely that this could be the problem. I am running the cpu applet on the console and the cpu is hardly used (very low use) on both KDE and gnome. The only thing I have to compare it to is a 586 however. Also I have yet to see swap used. CPU is athlon 2100+ XP with 512MB of mem. Any ideas? Regards; Hoyt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The nice thing about urpmi.setup is that it can be configured, then it adds the servers you choose for updates automagically, and names them main, contrib. Which can also be edited if you want to, say for instance, enable multiple mirrors. So it looks like it needs to be pointed to urmpi.org -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

When the server started crashing all the time, my wkstn would have constant segfaults and FS lockups, requiring a reboot. I shut the server down, and since not connecting to it with Samba shares or SSH, my wkstn: 10:02:59 up 16 days, 11:05, 4 users, load average: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00 Could a badly seated NIC on the server could cause another box communicating with it to complain? In any case, cross my fingers, the server looks like it's stable again.
