Really, thank you so much for the suggestions. I'll let you know how it turns out. tsw Remember, if you go with the tar option, you need to do the --one-file-system option with tar in order to keep you local to the partition you are on; otherwise, you cannot delineate between partitions and stuff that would normally be on the /usr filesystem/partition (for example) could end up being in your root partition. This all is a nonsequitur if you've done everything as a single partition. Then you can omit the --one-file-system option. To make use of tar's ability to select filesystems individually, all you have to do is to start out at the spot where the filesystem is mounted. For instance, on the usr partition, you just change to /usr and then use tar with --one-file-system. Or with var on it's own partition, you would switch to /var and then execute the tar command. After that anything that's tarred over to the new partition won't be including stuff mounted *within* /var. And so on. HTH LX P.S.

[newbie] Dell D600 Docking Station?
Just got a new Dell D600 (company issued), installed Mandrake10 CE. Everything works OK now - did have issues with sound and network, the sound card is a SigmaTel one that is identified by Linux as an Intel 8280IDB AC'97 , other distros install the latest sound drivers for it (snd_intel8x0) works fine, Mandrake's same driver causes howling from the machine, specifying the i810_audio driver instead works fine. Also had issues with MDK and the Broadcom GigaBit card, other distros (incl. MDK 9.2) see the card and work with it fine, MDK 10CE sees the card and installs the drivers for it, but on bootup it says eth0 failed and w2hen you try to change the cards settings etc the system freezes. Even weirder, on a clean install of the OS it warns that the card has been previously configured for use - if you accept the existing settings you end up with the dead card and system freeze previously mentioned, but if you tell it to redo the card during install it forces a crashed installation, however when booting (thankfully the crash is after the bootloader is installed) eth0 still fails, however on actually using it the network is fine. Good thing I'm using DHCP, if I try to set it for specific IP or change any parameters I freeze again Anyway - the real reason for the email - when attaching an exterior monitor via the port replicator - as soon as I start X the external monitor dies. I know about the XF86Config-4 line: Option Display BIOS this isn't my first Dell running Linux, however this doesn't seem to do much good with this new model, when that didn't work I took it out thinking that maybe the new Dells were different, still no joy.

You can achieve that in standard of course, but then all users have access to each others files, i.e. they can change directory into /home/user1, /home/user2 etc., etc.. If you don't want that, you can fiddle around with permissions, sharing and such, but it is easier just to set security to high. In that mode, try to peep into another users stuff : you can't. So far, I've noticed no drawbacks in high, the box is fully functional for all my daily purposes. But maybe Derek can correct me here ? Kaj Haulrich. P.S. And please don't top-post.

Re: [newbie] Login Manager Shutdown Settings
Setting my system security level to high indeed solved my shutdown issue. Thanx Kaj and Derek for this. If I run into problems later I may consider to set security level to normal.

However when I halt the system and turn it back on the option is back to nobody and I can´t shutdown the system anymore (also not as root). Anybody who had the same problems and know the solution to this? Bas My guess is, that you have set your security level to higher or even paranoid. If so, try to set it to high. For an explanation, type (in a console) : man msec HTH Kaj Haulrich. Well, as Derek says, standard security on linux is way better than on Windows. But the reason I advised you to set it to high is as follows : You have multiple users on your box, and you wanted everybody to be able to shutdown. You can achieve that in standard of course, but then all users have access to each others files, i.e. they can change directory into /home/user1, /home/user2 etc., etc.. If you don't want that, you can fiddle around with permissions, sharing and such, but it is easier just to set security to high. In that mode, try to peep into another users stuff : you can't. So far, I've noticed no drawbacks in high, the box is fully functional for all my daily purposes. But maybe Derek can correct me here ? Kaj Haulrich. P.S. And please don't top-post.

The MCC (under Hardware/Hardware) says the Soundcard is ICH4 845G/GL Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller, and Module is snd-intel8x0. The green buttons are muted when dim, and un-muted when bright, i.e enabled. The red buttons are capture selected when bright. alsamixer says Card: Intel 82801DB-ICH4, and Chip: Realtek ALC202 rev 0. The onboard LAN is a Realtek RTL8139 - is this part of the same chip? I'm having troubles with that too... No, they are just both Realtek chips. man alsamixer says Spacebar toggles Capture mode on a valid input, adding or removing it from the capture sources. Its behaviour belies this: it selects that channel for capture, removing all other inputs from capture sources. Having found this, I noted that Kmix seems to allow multiple sources fro capture, though the red buttons will not clear immediately after being selected: another source has to be toggled in between. Strange... Just to be sure, 'capture' means 'recording' in ALSA speak ;-) With a CD in the drive, and the CD player indicating that it is there and playing a track, and with the mixer (either alsamixer or Kmix) showing CD selected and volume high (80%+), there is still no sound out. Maybe a case of a missing analog audio cable, see http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/audio_cd.html . And 'master' (and 'pcm' for digital audio sources) should also be unmuted and a have a reasonable volume level. #chkconfig --list sound sound0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off #chkconfig --list alsa alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off #runlevel N 5 OK, so alsa and sound are started in runlevel 5: graphical environment plus network.

[newbie] Installing 10.0 Official alongside 9.2
My apologies at the outset, since this has probably already been covered. I searched my local list archive back to 23 March, and couldn't find what I was looking for. I have no means of searching the archive site at the moment, so please forgive me if this is an oft-repeated question. I would like to install 10.0 Official alongside my existing 9.2 installation (on a presently Mandrake 9.2-only hard drive). The 9.2 PowerPack has all the tools I need right now, but I'm dying to try the 2.6 kernel while waiting until a 10.2 (or so) release to purchase another PowerPack. Since I haven't been able to locate an official Mandrake version of the 2.6 kernel ready-made for 9.2 (if such a thing even exists), and the prospect of rolling my own 2.6 terrifies my inner newbie, it looks like the side-by-side full-install route is my only option. I use GRUB as my bootloader (I don't trust LILO, as it once ate my partition table, and I prefer GRUB's relatively simple configurability). I would like to end up with full installations of 9.2 and 10.0, bootable from the GRUB menu. Can I simply run the 10.0 install and trust it to install its own copy of GRUB with 9.2 and 10.0 ready to go, or are there other things I need to take into consideration (and be prepared to deal with)? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated; thanks very much in advance.

Re: [newbie] Sylpheed messages not readable in MS Outlook?
From: Stephen Kuhn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Look, Microsoft put out a broken product in the first place, and they're not going to fix it anytime soon. SINCE it's so damn popular, they feel they don't need to fix it.

Besides, why read mail in a mail client that has direct access to your Windows registry? Or are you tempting fate? stephen kuhn - owner Your points are all true... but beside my point. MS may be a bully, but myself, I wouldn't email people from a mailer that MS's product couldn't understand, if I intended to communicate with people who use MS's product. It doesn't have to be political, just practical. It's concievable that the issue is caused be a flaw in the Sylpheed headers. Or, that Sylpheed is using some brand new mail standard that isn't officially accepted yet. Possibly enabled by a configuration option. Brian Long just pointed out that in MS Outlook (as opposed to Outlook Express) he doesn't get this behavior. I might consider switching. The reason I use Outlook Express on Windows is that none of the other mailers available for Windows work well. They all have greater flaws in how they handle email. I prefer the Express version to the MS Office (Outlook) because I don't need the additional features of the Office version, and the Express version does some things better (exactly what, I can't remember anymore :-). I'm not overly concerned about the security record of Outlook and Outlook Express because I take many precautions and I know what's going on with my system. I.e., I run a good but non-leading virus protection program (less likely to be attacked itself), a good but non-leading firewall program (ditto), a system monitoring program, and install MS's security patches as they come out.

Re: [newbie] Sylpheed messages not readable in MS Outlook?
From: Thujan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asa Rossoff kirjoitti viestissään (lähetysaika tiistai, 25. toukokuuta 2004 06:18): I often read this list in Outlook Express, since I still spend more time in Windows (haven't gotten Linux to work well with my video card, so until I upgrade...), and noticed that some messages appear blank, but have an attachment that outlook has named ATT00###.py (where ### is a number). The first time I saw this, I thought it was a worm of some sort distributing Python scripts, but when I looked at that attachment it contained the body of the message. In each case, the headers revealed that the mailer used was Sylpheed. (Example message, today, from Charles A. Edwards re. Intellimouse). I also noticed his message had the following Mime header: :: Mime-Version: 1.0 :: Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol=application/pgp-signature; :: micalg=pgp-sha1; :: boundary=Signature=_Mon__24_May_2004_22_28_18_- 0400_EG0sF5HbG3/RPIn1 Anyway, I thought this might be of interest, since Outlook is such a popular mailer, and it's probably desirable to have messages readable there. Any ideas what's causing this? (The short answer is probably Microsoft's broken mailer, but...) :) Asa That is intresting matter why outlook respond gpg-mime signature also with other clients than sylpheed, at least mutt with gpg-mime and balsa with gpg-mime and evolution with gpg-mime does that. Older outlooks also respond with the word beginspacespace I haven't heard why these features are in outlook? I don't believe it is cause its broken they have some another purpose for that behaving, just don't know what? Is it cause outlook can run scripts so well or what? -- best rgds tt Hi Thujan, I am having some difficulty understanding everything you said. As an experiment, however, I just installed a certificate and will click the Sign button in this message window in Outlook Express before I send this message, and see what OE does. (OE has an option to activate S/MIME opaque signing that it says is not supported by all mailers.. I did not enable that option for this test.)

The flacs are bigger because it's a lossless compression--Free Lossless Audio Codec. Ogg's, no problemo. Got a perl script (ogg2wav) and made it a+x, put it in /usr/bin along with flac. Tho the resultin Cd's aren't all that much noticably better than mp3's normalized to wav's an burned to CD's. BUT, I'm at a loss with .ape's. Google only has me more confused. Other than to point out it's mainly pointed at Windoze machines/OS. ape is another lossless codec, and you can use it on Linux. From the homepage you have to visit the developers page I think and you can find the source or links to a binary; also search the forums. There's also an xmms plugin for ape, but I usually decode them to wav and convert to flac on general principles. I couldn't get the most recent ape 3.99 to compile so I'm using 3.96; you might find some apes made with 3.99 that 3.96 can't decode. Which sucks. Download one file and try it first. So... criticise my flac conversion, ogg2wav, an give me some help with monkeys ;) There's some stuff on ... lossless.country I'd like to try out OK, I did your homework for you: http://www.personal.uni-jena.de/~pfk/mpp/index2.html#ape Todd ;) -- Name that tune #18: When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world the babies just come with the scenery.

You can change it to something else by setting PAGER. man man will give you more information about the man command. There are also a couple of programs for reading man and info pages under X.

Re: [newbie] Sylpheed messages not readable in MS Outlook?
From: Charles A Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would have tried to explain to them the problem with OE. But saw it as pointless, on my part, as OE refuses to display to them my messages signed with a 'standard' pgp key. Charles I don't actually let OE stop me ... just hinder me, as you can see here. Oh well. If it's that MSOE refuses to display pgp-signed messages in general, that's a shame on them. Maybe I'll hassle them with a bug report. If it's something you can live with, that MSOE users having trouble reading your messages, then fine.. but it's worth being aware of. Asa Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
