PG You will have beter luck using the line in jack instead of the microphone jack if you are connecting directly from a tape player. If the player has line out or RCA jacks, these work better then the headphone jacks. The speaker jacks are the last resort. If you have to use them, keep the output turned down below midrange. You will have to play with it a bit to see what works with your sound card. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Ideally UTF 8/16/32 should support every known language and every thinkable character, but - as I understand it - there have been some issues with Microsoft - as usual. Anyway, the bulk of Windows-boxes still don't have UTF or ISO-8859 but only some Windows-charsets like windows-1252. That's why I prefer to write html-documents using ascii with escape-sequences. But I'll admit that languages who don't use western (latin) characters like Arabic or Chinese arent' covered. But then again, why would I want to write something in Arabic ?

[newbie] FireFox speedup
The following tips came from this link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts I implemented these procedures and I must say they really makes a difference: Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up: 1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Mandrake Move, Knoppix, Gnoppix, are three that come to mind, all readily available from web. Knoppix/Gnoppix (and others) you can get cheaply from many retailers (well under USD 5). Stick the CD in, turn on computer, tell it to boot from CD and it will use the computers memory, etc., but not its harddisk you may have the odd problem with hardware - especially if you use winmodems. Next step would possibly be to dual-boot - choose either linux or windows when you turn on. As you work in a school, check out skolelinux at http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/ designed originally for Norwegian schools, but supports many languages - sets up servers and clients from a CD.

[newbie] Any 'scim' users out there?
Hi, all the listers. I downloaded and installed scim, but am getting mad in trying to properly configure my system so to use scim. My purpose is to input and read simplified and traditional chinese. Any mandrake and scim users our there than can suggest what lines on earth I should put into the damned ~/.i18n file?? Depending on what I put in there, sometimes man pages are messed up, sometimes accented italian characters (à , ì, etc) are not displayed, sometimes chinese input method is not there and so on... Even on the scim users mailing list I hardly found any little, too little help. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Rodolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Laptop Installation problem

I have a machine that's like this, and it could also help Aron stay with the wonderful world of mandrake. I have googled, but haven't found anything where the only bootable device is the one hdd you're installing to. I have thought of something like the following, but don't have a clue as to how I could pull it off, or if it's possible at all. 1: take hdd out, partition into 2 (hda ~4G, hdb ~2G) 2: prepare part.1 so it can boot up the laptop 3: copy all install files onto part.2 4: put hdd back into laptop 5: boot from part.1 6: install from partition 2, (can the installation process repartition part.1 into /, swap, etc, without running into problems?) anything to point me in the right direction here is a step to getting rid of my last windows installation. thanks guys Andras It should work. You can not turn the partition with the install files into swap during install, because the formating would wipe out the install files. What I would do is just create partition for the install files, and leave the rest free. Let the installer partition it, with one exception - do not let it create a seperate /home partition. During the install, do not create any users except root. On your first boot, drop to run level 1, and use diskdrake to chane that partition to linux ext3. Have this be your /home partition. Now reboot, and create your users. The reasion for waiting to create the users is that we don't want any home directories created before we have our /home partition.

Mdk 10.1 on the drive. After reinstalling the drive I find that I have a problem Kernel panic : No init found Try passingi nit= optionn to kernel So what do I do now (oboviously I have reached my level of incompentance The problem looks like the root directory is not on the device specified during installation. Let me guess - when you did the install, this drive was not /dev/hda, and now it is. You are going to have to make a couple of changes to make it work. Unless someone has the answers handy, I will have to do a bit of research in the monring, but basicly what you have to do is change the root devices passed to the kernel from /dev/hd?# to /dev/hda# where # is the partition number, and stays the same - only the drive "letter" changes. You will also want to specify "init=/bin/bash" for this boot, untill you can edit /etc/fstab to reflect the changed drive. You will also have to edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the root drive specified there. Make sure you run lilo after making the change, so that the changes take effect. There is a way to do it by putting the drive back in the other machne, but that probably would be just as hard. One other way would be to get one of the floppy distributions, boot off of it, and go in and make the changes. Mikkel Ok - there is no real easy way to do this. If you remember what partition the root file system is, you can try this: Hit the Esc key when you get the boot screen. at the "Boot:" prompt, type "linux root=/dev/hda# init=/bin/bash" where # is the root partition number. If all goes well, you are now at the # prompt. From here, you can edit /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf as described above. I like to use mcedit or joe for this, but the editor is your choice. Now, if this doesn't work, then we can try other options. There is one thing that may cause problems. And because lilo works, I think this may be the case. If your laptop is old enough that it doesn't use LBA, and the ither system used LBA, or the two systems see the hard drive as different configurations, then the partition table may not reflect how the laptop sees the drive. But I would have expected to see some error messages before it got to the point of trying to mount the root file system. When you had the drive in the other system, were there other drives, besides the CD-ROM drive in the system? Knowing the install system configuration would help with knowing what MDK thinks it is installed on. Before you give up on MDK, and go to a floppy based system, you may want to look at doing a network install. I have not done one with MDK yet, but it used to be fairly easy with RedHat. You do need a network card for the laptop though. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

You are performing the rebuild as root and so it is looking for a folder called /root/RPM in which to create a folder called SOURCES That folder does not exist so the rebuild fails.

Hi all,
Perhaps this is not the place to ask, but I am getting nowhere searching
the web.
I am trying to learn C++ programming. At my work (for which I need to
learn this) I am futzing with a program which so far works. The machine I
use runs on Tru64 Unix. When I try to compile the same program at home,
the compiler (I use g++ at home) tells me that all kinds of things are
unknown.
The header-files could be the problem, I suspect, but I don't know where
or what. Part of the programcode I wrote:
#include
#include
#include
#include
// ###
void VoegToe(char* foto, int hoog, int breed, char* bestand)
{
cout << "Toevoegen..." << endl;
ofstream fout(bestand, ios::app);
if (!fout)
{
cout << "Er is iets mis! " << fout << " ??" << endl;
return;
}
Of course, the code goes on, but the compiler already tells me that "cout"
and "endl" are not defined already. Can someone shed some light on this?
Have I forgotten to install some devel-packages (I have looked at this but
could not find anymore to install.) Or do you need more information?
Thanks for help or pointers,
Paul

Or we can take this to the expert list, and >start teaching you to make the changes yourself. This is not realy a >"newbie" type of problem. Now it should be o.k. According to Mikkel's suggestion, I did my changes and then edited /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the changes in *all* the partitions involved, also the ones whose bootloader is installed in the first sector of the root partition, not only the one whose bootloader is installed in the first sector of drive (MBR). This way things seem to be o.k. Many many thanks to Mikkel, with whose help the problem was worked out. Rodolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Is this possible?
Hello friends, I have a question, I might have to go back to W2K for a short period of time because I cannot find a software that is similiar to DVDShrink in Windows for Linux (If somebody has an idea for a program that can do the same thing in Linux I am happy to listen. I can't get DVD::Rip to work properly), anyway at this point I have a partition in Linux called /extra which is /dev/hda8 and if I install W2K och /dev/hda1 and later go back to Linux, will the /dev/hda8 be there and just to add during the installation as /extra or whatever.I presume that this isn't a problem but I would like it confirmed before I do it Cheers Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That surprises me somewhat, because citizens of English-speaking countries rarely need anything besides us/uk-ascii Maybe it's because Mandrake originated here in Europe where most nations have more than 24 characters and lots of funny accents etc.. - So Mandrake installs UTF and some iso-charsets as default ? Anyway, an easy way to check what charsets are installed is : Open a browser, i.e. Firefox. Select View -->Character Encoding.
