[newbie] Joypad only available to root in MDK9.0
Hullo, I've got myself a PSX-USB converter and it seems fine under Mandrake. I just plug it in and it is detected and works okay. Just one small problem is that the joypad is only available to root. If I run a prog as a normal user it says that it doesn't see any joypads. The same prog when run as root sees the joypad and is able to use it.

Martin, It's much easier if you have the first MDK installation CD. Insert it, reboot the PC and at the splash screen hit F1, then type # rescue and press enter. After some loading, you'll be presented with a menu, where you should select 'Reinstall boot loader'. This should detect your windows and linux partitions and reinstall lilo in the MBR. What happened is pretty normal, Windows assumes it's the only OS on the disk and rewrites the MBR with it's own loader.

Once that didn't happen, they realized that they would need to make as big a pain as possible for every person in order to increase the pressure to go ahead with a buyout. Ultimately, I think that they missed the boat on this one. I suspect that IBM and assorted other companies actually want to litigate this in order to set an example for any other company that would come up with the same bright idea. That means that the bigger a fool that SCO makes of itself for making all and sundry claims, the more likely IBM and co are to pursue the case to the final legal conclusion.

Hey Darl - Get a life and give it a rest will ya? Enough already! Well, you just hit on the entire point of this matter. SCO was looking to get bought out in order to salvage some of what they invested in a dying company. First, they expected that the mere threat of a lawsuit would convince IBM to go ahead and buy them out. Once that didn't happen, they realized that they would need to make as big a pain as possible for every person in order to increase the pressure to go ahead with a buyout. Ultimately, I think that they missed the boat on this one. I suspect that IBM and assorted other companies actually want to litigate this in order to set an example for any other company that would come up with the same bright idea. That means that the bigger a fool that SCO makes of itself for making all and sundry claims, the more likely IBM and co are to pursue the case to the final legal conclusion. The one bright spot about all of this is that the US is rapidly providing a shining example of why our IP and copyright models are antiquated and no longer serving their original purpose. This makes it more likely that other countries will hopefully form their own systems rather than try to model them after the US.

For example, you might dedicate it to a user (in this case you'd mount it under /home/newuser, for example), or to increase the space dedicated to an already existing user (for example, if userX needs additional space for mp3, you might create a /home/userX/mp3 directory and mount hda9 there).

Re: [newbie] Re: Re: Copying Files from CDROM
I've started downloading the linux 2.4.24 kernel in tar.bz2 format. I hope this is the right one. I see the latest stable one is 2.6.3. I went into the Linux Programme installer and found a number of files described as the Linux Kernel. I installed them, but suddenly my whole Linux installation is messed up. Sound driver does not work, file systems arn't mounting. It seems I'm going to have to re-install the whole business. I'll first try to install everything and specifically select these kernel files. If that does not work, I'll just do a default installation. Tomorrow I'm going to borrow a friend's external Mercer USB modem. If it works, I might considder saving up to buy my own. Question: how do I edit the Makefile file in my modem driver directory. I see there is a reference to the linux-kernel there, and in stead of typing $ make KERNEL_ path to root I could possibly put that path directly into the Makefile.

If you do have cooker sources for updates you might want to find a different mirror or try doing rpm --rebuilddb updatedb from the su command line.

Re: [newbie] Re: compile asm in C
Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.
My story is a little bit different..
I just copy the codes you modified to a file and I compile it.
I have the following error message that I had before. Any other thoughts??
$cat asmExit.c
void main() {
__asm__(
mov $0x0, %ebx
mov $0x1, %eax
int$0x80
);
}
$ gcc -c asmExit.c
asmExit.c:2:9: missing terminating character
asmExit.c: In function `main':
asmExit.c:3: error: syntax error before mov
asmExit.c:6:1: missing terminating character

move $0x1, %eax

Re: [newbie] 10.0 Community available to club members...
I wonder if you meant to buy the boxed versions while you were a club member? So you really wanted to help Mandrake, right? Otherwise you could just go either way but not both? SO i don´t understand the point of the complaint when it was your decision to support Mandrake. I also decided to support Mandrake so i became a club member but did not want to over-support them by buying the boxed versions! Overall being a club member has advantages over buying the boxed version in particular if you have broad band internet connection. This way you can better keep your system up-to-date in particular nowadays that very often a newer version of some application appears! Besides with a yearly silver membership, you almost gain three consecutive versions of Mandrake for $60 which is just a bit more than the price of the powerpack version. If you buy two powerpack boxes each year , you will pay about $110 each year! So being a club member is very economical.

[newbie] KDE Font Problem in 10.0 Community Download Edition?
Hi folks, I have just done a clean install of the 10.0 Community Download Edition. Default KDE fonts (including in Konqueror) are not anti-aliased. The fonts in some components of the system are such as Mozilla, MCC and OO.o but the standard fonts used in Kontact, Kopete and KDE in general are not. Running 9.2 on the same system did not have this problem. Is this common to everybody or just me (or a few)? Can someone suggest a solution to this problem? Another minor note I'll tack on here is that the installation asked for disk four but all the mirrors I have looked at only have three ISO images, is this something I should be concerned about?

Re: [newbie] Problem with installing Windows fonts
What exactly does Mozilla for Linux with Xft font anti-aliasing mean? Is this a setting in Mozilla, and add-on etc? I've set my fonts in Gnome to be aliased etc, Mozilla still looks like a dog's breakfast, especially when I enlarge the text.
