If that does not show your Interface to the Internet, then that is your problem. You can force an interface to be the default by editing /etc/sysconfig/network and adding the line GATEWAYDEV=eth0 (or whatever it is) alternatively if you have a router or something, then declare that to be the default route with GATEWAY=ip_addy_of_router The other possibility is your firewall. The Mandrake Installer is just as dumb in 10.0 as in previous versions and will assume eth0 connects to the Internet and eth1 (or ppp0) is your local network. Check /etc/shorewall/interfaces to ensure the correct interface is assigned to zone 'net' Restart shorewall after any change. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Mandrakelinux 10.0 for AMD64 won't execute
I embarked with Mandrakelinux 7, which came in the back of Sam's Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours book. It installed itself OK, but then it wouldn't recognize my on-board modem, my LG CD Burner files, nor my Canon scanner, and although it could tell me what model of Canon printer I have, attempts to print did not work. Escape from the swampy Winduck (ie short legs) archipelago was looking like a long expedition. But then I found the website where one can download Mandrakelinux 10.0 Beta for AMD64 . Perfect ! Thinks I. Latest version might have the missing hardware patches, and is optimized for my Athlon 1.2GHz cpu as well. Certainly big enough to contain a kitchen sink for every room in a large hotel. So I barter with a friend to download the mind-boggling 2.5GB of executable files via their broadband connection. And tonight we sit down to run these 3 CD ROMs full of arcane code with an ISO file extension (never heard of it). The file manager recognizes the files on the CDs as executable, but they cannot be induced to execute. What I need is a stable, efficient operating system that uses the hardware that I already have, and does not have the self-destructive file-corrupting monotheistic personality attributes of Winduck, and preferably without being susceptible to the anonymous malice of demented hackers and their poxy proxy viruses. It is unlikely that I will ever do any programming or systems development. Just a nice, reliable, obedient machine will do me fine. I am prepared to put in the time and endure the pain that it takes to start again in a foreign cyberscape, but be aware that last time I worked directly with an operating system, it was 1985 and my Morrow MD11 cp/m machine with its 32kB operating system would blow the doors off an IBM XT, so be gentle with me.

I have no experience with it but ALSA supports up to 8 cards. http://alsa-project.org/ seems to be down atm but in the kernel-doc rpm I found /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.3/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt which near the end gives an example of how to set up two cards. I think the card you choose as the first card will have /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p as the (first) playback device and the second card will have /dev/snd/pcmC1D0p as the (first) playback device. KDE's arts soundserver let's you choose a custom playback device. If you let arts use the 'second' card (the onboard sound) your music applications could then just use their ALSA plugin and play on the higher quality add-on board. Just to be sure, you want to play system sounds to cheap speakers connected to the onboard soundcard and send music to higher quality speakers using the add-on board, right?

Is this possible? Try running setup as root first. I'm not sure where it will be on your system - if you used the Mandrake RPM, it's probably /usr/lib/openoffice/setup. Then wipe your ~/.openoffice directory again and run as user. Another idea - have you had a look at the file associations for whatever desktop environment(s) you are using? It's a very long shot, but it's remotely possible that if OO is associated with .doc files and nothing else, it's getting the message that you want .doc files. Sounds absurd, but it's the only other theory I can come up with. Sir Robin -- "I'm very into Britney Spears' early work, before she sold out, so mostly her, um, finger painting and macaroni art."
