[newbie] Installing Mdk 10.0 on primary slave
Hi all- I'm having trouble installing Mandrake 10.0 on my machine I just built. I have Windows XP on primary master (160G), and I want to put Mdk on pri. slave (80G). I've used these install disks on my old machine (with XP on the master also) and had no prob. When I boot from CD, I choose "install or upgrade", then I get a black screen with "Mandrake 10.0, etc" at the top and "Alt-F1, Alt-F3, Alt-F4" choices at the bottom (which don't respond when keyed). It never loads into memory or goes anywhere. Any help? Has my install disk failed? (Step-by-step would be appreciated.)

You will now be editing the options for that particular kernel - add ' init 3' to the line, and then hit enter. Hit 'b' to boot from it. This will put you into command line mode.

Um, at that level of knowledge it's still not hard. At the first prompt
type your desired user name. In this case "root". At the second prompt
type the account's password. Bang, Bob's your uncle.

All hope is not lost. First you need to be willing to work from the
commandline. "Cntl-Alt-F1" will present you with your commandline
prompt. Once there you can login as the root user. You're 1/3 of the
way home here.
As a test hit "alt-f2" and try to login as the alternate user you
created. If you can login you're 2/3 of the way home. If not you
must create a new user the hard way. "man adduser" is a start.
Mandrake appears to create users with a group the same as the
user name. Factor that into your "adduser" command. (I am not sure
of all the Mandrake options here. I'm a RedHat/Fedora fugitive and
new to Mandrake myself.) Some reading on the man page should help.
Once you've created the user give it a password with the "passwd"
command. If you created "newbie" then use "passwd newbie" to set
that account's password. You are now 2/3 of the way home.
Go back to the X-Windows login page. Perhaps refresh it by entering
a password. At worst you'd have to "telinit 3" then "telinit 5" to
get it to refresh and recognize the new user, if Mandrake did it
right. At that point login as the new user. Go to the system
administration tools for managing the system, select -system->
configuration->KDE->system->login. Then select the user's tab and
proceed to think negatively. Click on the users you do NOT want to
be able to login the X-Windows system via the login screen. If that
works you are done. If not you have to cheat. Go back to the commandline
and issue the "telinit 3" command as root. Then issue the "startx"
command to get into X-Windows as root. You should be able to use
the above steps from there.

At least 2 of those will work from the command line. Most of the Mandrake GUI tools also have a command line countpart.

Re: [newbie] /bin/sh: bad interpreter
The syntax that works for you ("sh xyz") says "start a shell, and have that
shell read this file, and follow the instructions in it". To do that, you must
have read permission for the file. By contrast "./xyz" says "execute this file"
and for that, you must have execute permission :) These two really are handled
differently, in the first case, you'll get by without the "#!/bin/bash" at the
first line of the file, in the second case, the kernel loads the file, then
examines it to determine _how_ to execute it (parsing, as it does so, the
#!/blah, which tells it that it has a script and what interpreter to invoke).
What seems really odd to me is that every other shell I've ever used
(including, I thought bash in the past/on other Unixen) say "cannot execute" if
they find the file you name as $0 on a command line doesn't have execute
permission for you. So, this error is really bizzare in my book. But whatever,
once you know, you can handle it, right?

Simon

Re: [newbie] Hostname/Lan/SMB Problems
Thanks Adolfo. I will give that a shot, once the LAN problem is solved. Looks like I'll have to do things the "windows" way and just wipe the drive and re-install everything.

[newbie] MDK 10.1 Official SiS 180 (P4S800D) ver. 2
Anyone? Asus P4S800D + MDK 10.1 + SATA Disk Please Thanks in advance to you all. António. :) -- Forwarded message -- From: António Jorge Mota Vasconcelos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2004 11:11:02 + Subject: MDK 10.1 Official SiS 180 Sata To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello. I have a problem installing the MDK 10.1 Official. It can´t load the sis_sata modules correctly. I saw (trough Google) this is a general problem. My question is if anyone has already compiled a specific module to insert before the hardware detection. Or if exists any other way (besides installing a PATA disk and compiling the kernel) to do the installation. Have also tried commands like "linux noapic, noloapic", and ACPI disabled in BIOS, etc. Thank you all. Free Linux!!! I don´t understand even why ASUS and SiS don´t have support for other OS besides Microsoft. It's a shame... Best Regards, António Vasconcelos.
