Re: [newbie] install mysql with Mandrake CD's
The errors was that all depencies of mysql was conflicting with
mysql-4.0.15.2mdk..
Now that's was weird.
By the time you will read, I've already installed mysql with the source
tarballs. I'm satisfied by the way I did it but it works.
In my case, it seems that I have to start mysqld_safe with another port than
the one by default (3306). Another strange thing, my /tmp cannot be read by
mysqld_safe. I saw the localhost.err log file.
Dit I miss something here?

Re: [newbie] PowerPC 5500/225 Mandrake Install?
I've successfully setup Yellow Dog, Mandrake, Gentoo and Debian on my Powerbook Pismo, so it's certainly worth trying to put Mandrake on your old tower. The PPC versions of the distros are a little behind the x86 versions, but they are certainly useable. The only thing that is a pain in the butt for your computer is it's an Old World machine and will need BootX to get into Linux. Still, it's worth trying, even for the learning experience.

[newbie] How to go about creating a new partition.
Last time I tried to make a partition to give Linux more hard drive space, I completely screwed up Linux. Here's my plan for doing it this time. If there's anything I might screw up by doing this, please tell me. 1. Use Partition Magic in windows to resize my NTFS Windows Partition. 2. Boot Linux, use Diskdrake to create a partition from the free space, place it at the end of the sector.(I want to use Linux to do this so it 'knows' that I added this partition. Last time I think the problem was that it took mdk by surprise, screwing up the labels.) 3. Do ln /home/marc /mnt/nameofpartition Sound good? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That's OK, you seem to read and answer to this list on almost as many boxes as I sometimes do.

They as a business piss me off, and their distro isn't great either. As for using Mandrake as a server; That's fine. I used Mandrake as one of my MP3 servers. Not like illegal mp3 server, but where I used it around my house for back ups and to listen to music. I can't see why anyone would think any Linux distro other than Lindows would make a bad server, hell Windows gets away with being called a server OS. Free BSD makes a good server too. But I have also known people who have installed Free BSD, went to sleep, and woke up to a rooted box. I have a friend who installed Mandrake as a server and got rooted too. Point being, it doesn't matter what distro you use, it matters how you use it. I use SuSE, Mandrake, and Slackware the most. I like them. I don't dual boot at all anymore, but this is my Slackware box.

Are the most recent versions of spamassissin better? More recent version are definitely better (much better) at catching the variations. Unless they encode to mime or try to bypass using html mail that refers to external images, the text is usually caught.

" Yes it does but I usually consider that no one is paying attention. In the "pretty blue screen" (wrong shade to be pretty) of the lillo startup screen all esc does is stop the timer, but there are other things. failsafe and several different versions the kernel. The only problem now that I can get root access is what commands do I issue to correct the problem ending with disableing autologin.

I'm not quite sure how Mandrake does it but I do know that Slackware (that's the distro I use on old stuff) uses NFS and will NOT allow a CD/DVD-drive to be shared. If you've got the room copy the Mandrake directory somewhere where the permissions aren't too restrictive (like /home/you/ ) and try that as path.

Hm ok I will give that a try, when I have some time. I had been trying from XFce4. I had a similar problem and solved it by doing urpmi bit by bit. First I installed something basic to get the essential KDE libraries in place, then progressed through network and multimedia. Some packages have dependencies from contrib, so that might be what's giving you a headache. I thought that might work too, thats how i ended up with everything but the base stuff installed which just would not go. I also borked k3b in the process, but I think that was my fault. I think removing 3.1.3 automatically removes k3b because of dependency's, IE kde needs to be there before k3b. Yes, the problem was that it wouldn't reinstall afterwards because of conflicts.
