[newbie] GRUB using
Hi list, I am a grub user. Now I usually install grub in the HD mbr if over-written by another instal like this.. # grub grubgrub root (hd0,0) grubsetup (hd0) This time there was a error. So I read the GRUB instructions (hardcopy) which is quite extensive. Found another command.. grubfind /boot/grub/stage1 Now this gives 4 different devices with stage1 .. see below please. This is because I have various installs using grub. Again I studied the instructions .. but .. for me it is not clear which is which.. should the wrong setup be given the writing will be in the wrong place .. probably creating more chaos. Now what worries me is what would the correct command for setup be to use hd0,0 mbr and hd0,9 stage1. Please could I get some pointers here.. for the above short way .. long way see bottom..note. ** #grub GRUB version 0.93 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] grub root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc grub find /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,5) (hd0,9).this is the one I want to use. (hd1,4) (hd1,8) grubsetup (hd0) ** Thanks Note..I already fixed this the long way..by using disc 1 and selecting the install on hde10.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10 and a Scanner
Quick answer: Hook up the scanner, go into the Mandrake Control Center (MCC), choose Hardware, then Scanner, and follow the prompts to auto-detect your scanner, if it is supported. Then look in the menu under Other Applications/Multimedia/Graphics for the programs XSane or Kooka and you're away laughing. Long Answer: Not all scanner chipsets are supported under Linux, thanks to some makers not grokking the Open Source thing. The backend software for scanner access in Linux is called SANE, and the website at http://www.sane-project.org/ has a comprehensive list of all the supported scanners which you may want to check out first. If your scanner is supported, then MCC should find and set it up OK. There's 3 main programs I know of for doing scanning, XSane, Kooka, and QuiteInsane, in addition to the Gimp which has a scanning module. XSane is by far the most powerful, concentrating purely on the scanning side of things with a million options and tools, but has a slightly quirky Gtk/Gnome interface. Kooka is the official KDE app, has a slightly dumbed down set of scanning options married with a image management system (I'm not a big fan, but YMMV). QuiteInsane is a QT app a lot like XSane, and if you're handy with the command line you can re-compile it to use the KDE file print dialog boxes. For OCR, there's a number of engines that all the programs can call, GOCR being the most common, but there are others. In short, the Linux apps give you access to all the different options supported by Sane for that scanner, including resolution, with XSane being the best of the bunch. John. P.S. Please remove your e-mail reply-to address when posting to the list, otherwise replys only go to you and the list loses the benefit of the answer.

[newbie] Slightly large whinge
Ya would reckon that it would be rather easy enough to upgrade a software package - SUPPOSEDLY. I'm going through Gnome Hell. I remember a few years back downloading all of Gnome - was a bit big, but nothing compared to what it has grown and bloated to be. Last version I was happy with was Gnome 1.4 - rather quick, nice, quite configurable, easily updated, easily downloaded (well, still big, but easier). At version 2.0, the entire direction behind the Gnome project changed DRASTICALLY; major changes came to the project, it was getting harder to customise the desktop let alone get Sawfish and GMC back into being the core components; Nautilus and Metacity became the built in standard. Now for giggles and grins, I just wanted to update some of the core bits to Gnome so I could test out the new Nautilus after reading a few articles about it. Smooth move, Exlax. GTK+ broke, gconf broke, python broke. Luckily, I didn't kill Evolution (thank God) as I've been there done that before. Now I'm forced to fix it all. THAT is a very slow process. Four pages of applications that you have to install in VERY PARTICULAR ORDER else more things break or you can't compile and install them. This will literally take days. What in the hell has happened to KDE and Gnome that they have to become shadows of the Evil M$ OS? What happened to simple? Enlightenment, XFCE4, PekWM, WindowMaker - nice clean and simple window managers. What is steering the linux desktop into a monstrous cavalcade of crap? Sun's desktop is just as bad from the reviews IT's been getting - so these three major desktop players are chucking the public down the same road that Micro$soft has for years already? It's going to take heaps long for a desktop environment to get polished enough - not just candied up to hide the kluges and bandages. I've poured my heart and soul into linux - advocating it, pushing it, showing it's true merits - and currently I'm rather glad that those that come over to my place DON'T see Gnome or KDE (or the Java Desktop for that matter) as at least my XFCE w/ ROX sidebar look rather clean and nice and it's not a hog or a dog. It just amazes me that in the OSS community very few projects nicely modularise themselves and organise themselves - Christ, even the websites are abhoring! Gnome's site used to be rather easily navigated - now after their attack they've not fixed most of it. KDE's website all but vanished (surf to www.kde.com and see what I mean). I'm done with my rant now - but just wanted to get that off my chest; and now I have to face days of downloading and compiling Gnome crap just so that I can get a working Nautilus... stephen kuhn - proprietor == illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com mobile: 0410.728.389 -- 09:55:06 up 14:18, 3 users, load average: 0.32, 0.18, 0.18 -- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents -- This email is virus-free because we don't use Microsoft products She was good at playing abstract confusion in the same way a midget is good at being short. -- Clive James, on Marilyn Monroe stephen kuhn - proprietor == illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com mobile: 0410.728.389 -- 10:23:38 up 14:47, 3 users, load average: 0.37, 0.09, 0.07 -- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents -- This email is virus-free because we don't use Microsoft products No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -- Eleanor Roosevelt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Link htdocs in Linux to htdocs in windows in the same computer
Yes you can make a w2k and xp machine a fat32 file system, it is not reccomended, as the system can be and has been shown to be very unstable when running on fat32, ntfs is alot better in terms of reliability and stability, but then again windows has never been stable ;-) -- Marc Hultquist ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computerkit Systems (Pty) Ltd http://www.cks.co.za (P) +27 11 695 5317 (F) +27 11 312 1408 (C) +27 82 563 2861 Quote: Chances are that if you do something that required two hands, your brain should be notified in advance Confidentiality Notice: The above message and all attachments may contain privileged and confidential information intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed.
