Re: [newbie] write access to NTFS partitions
According to the linux ntfs driver project (http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net), you can write to NTFS partitions as long as the filesize is 512b and you don't change the file size, but they caution it's experimental. There's another project, captive, that seeks a similar goal (http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/). It has been reported to allow write access to NTFS partitions used by WinXP, but not those used by NT and W2K. Don't know how reliable it is. I have an ext3 partition that I share between W2K and linux. On the w2k side I use Paragon software's mount ntfs, a proprietary ext2/3 driver for win2k/XP that allows full read/write access to ntfs partitions. Using a fat32 partition also works, but requires periodic defragmenting, which ext2/3 are not. Finally for NTFS partitions on a remonte machine, use Samba and set up the Lin box as a server.

[newbie] bus speed
Since updating, I have seen that my transfer rate between partions has dropped to roughly 2 - 3 Mb/s, I was getting over 10.

Type 'urpmi.update -a'. then wait. 4. Type 'urpmi --auto-select' and follow the instructions. 5. After the update is complete, type 'alt+F1' then, reboot the machine. Is this order correct? Is there more that I should do, or am I doing too much? How often should I run these commands? Also, what command can I use to get a current listing of the urpmi sources I am using?

Re: [newbie] OpenOffice.org reacquires ownership on file format
Thanks now I get it :-) But if I delate this .openoffice directory do I erase the software with it? Thanks Christphe No, it shouldn't touch the software itself. Files and folders in any home directory only affect that user. That's why they are there :-) A program installed in your home folder wouldn't be useable by anybody else on the system. So, most programs are installed in places like /usr/bin or similar, but settings that are personal to you are put in your home folder. They put a period at the start of the file name so you don't have to see them if you don't want to. Removing one of these 'dot' files means that the program launches with the 'factory' defaults the next time and recreates a 'dot' file for your user. It's a good trouble shooting technique when something is not working right to backup the 'dot' file that program uses (e.g. rename the .kde folder to kdebackup) and launch the program again to see what happens. Now, having said all that, I think there is a way to install a 'local' copy of open office. (Exception to every rule) It wouldn't hurt to try 'which soffice' at a command prompt so you know for sure where the open office program itself actually is.

Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D revision 1:
* signifies the current active mode
You can use hdparm to change the transfer mode (see man hdparm), but it is
actually easier to just edit the file /etc/sysconfig/harddisks
uncomment the transfer mode you wish to enable. (You need to reboot before the
edits become active)
The command
hdparm -t /dev/hda
will measure your disc transger rate for you.

Re: [newbie] OpenOffice.org reacquires ownership on file format
B McKee wrote: Thanks now I get it :-) But if I delate this .openoffice directory do I erase the software with it? Thanks Christphe No, it shouldn't touch the software itself. Files and folders in any home directory only affect that user. That's why they are there :-) A program installed in your home folder wouldn't be useable by anybody else on the system. So, most programs are installed in places like /usr/bin or similar, but settings that are personal to you are put in your home folder. They put a period at the start of the file name so you don't have to see them if you don't want to. Removing one of these 'dot' files means that the program launches with the 'factory' defaults the next time and recreates a 'dot' file for your user. It's a good trouble shooting technique when something is not working right to backup the 'dot' file that program uses (e.g. rename the .kde folder to kdebackup) and launch the program again to see what happens. Now, having said all that, I think there is a way to install a 'local' copy of open office. (Exception to every rule) It wouldn't hurt to try 'which soffice' at a command prompt so you know for sure where the open office program itself actually is.

[newbie] fuji finepix 2400
Hi, I was going to try getting the fuji finepix 2400 going again in LM10. A search through the archives indicated a few threads, all seeming to indicate that 9.2 was almost an automatic install whereas 10 somewhat broke it. An inexpensive mp3 (usb) player is also not recognized. Has this usb issue been resolved in LM10 official? Has any list member been successful mounting the finepix camera on LM10 with 2.6.3-4 kernel? tia, Bill W. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Network Monitor Going Crazy!
I've just decided to switch from an Adaptec WLAN Card which was slowly deteriorating from its old self, to a Belkin Wireless USB card. The good news is that this fixed my long going DHCP problem of having to power down my router once a day to get online with Linux. But, my KDE Network Monitor and Kwifimanager are now going crazy. For the manager, on the panel, the Link Quality says 0%, but the signal strength is bouncing around. On kwifimanager, everything says 0%, except the bitrate is 11 mbps. My internet is fine, and I actually have a very good connection to my router. Is there any way to fix the monitor? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
