[newbie] Configuring default firewall
Dear All I am using the default firewall of Mandrake 10.1 and I would like to configure it in the following way: * It must allow an outbound (originating at the host and connecting to the server) a TCP/IP connection with destination port 1723. * It must also allow protocol 47 (known as GRE) both inbound and outbound, with the server. There are no port numbers involved; it must be protocol 47. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul PS: Since I am a GMail user, please be sure that you reply to the list.

[newbie] partition
Hi other than my unasnwered kword problem ... what is the ebst way to resize a partition and make another one? I have parted and started it up and got this message: (snip: GPL junk) Using /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc Error: The partition table on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc is inconsistent. There are many reasons why this might be the case. However, the most likely reason is that Linux detected the BIOS geometry for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc incorrectly. GNU Parted suspects the real geometry should be 4870/255/63 (not 77622/16/63). You should check with your BIOS first, as this may not be correct. You can inform Linux by adding the parameter ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc=4870,255,63 to the command line. See the LILO or GRUB documentation for more information. If you think Parted's suggested geometry is correct, you may select Ignore to continue (and fix Linux later). Otherwise, select Cancel (and fix Linux and/or the BIOS now). Ignore/Cancel? is using parted the best way or is there a simple safe alternative?

It seems that one consequence is that sometimes you don't get everything you need, because it seems to assume that you will have it from another part of kde - maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it seems to me. Before you give up on this install, go into SoftwareInstaller and browse all files starting with k selecting any that look as though they have any interest for you. Some have obvious names like kdecore or kdebase or some such, but others are not obviously going to give you libs, yet they may well. Sit back while they install, and see if that makes any difference.

[newbie] oooqs and GNOME - for information only
Under GNOME and Mandrake 9.2 I have managed to get OpenOffice to start up in 3 or 4 seconds, which is fine. But, out of curiosity I installed oooqs from the PowerPack DVD and invoked it. The first problem was that it started kbuildsycoca, which always takes time and usually spits out a dozen error messages, so it is obviously designed for KDE. The second problem was that it hung after reporting several KIO connection errors, which probably means that it is incompatible with GNOME anyway. This is the first time I have ever hit such an obstacle. I wondered if there were any other KDE applications which fail under GNOME. -- Len Lawrence -- Be nice to people on the way up, because you'll meet them on your way down. -- Wilson Mizner -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have tried several times to get Mandrake version 10.1 to recognize my external USB ( Maxtor Diamond Max) hard drive. If I turn it on before or during bootup it seems to freeze the booting process. It is not recognized. Actually listed hardware states it is a unknown device. If I turn it on after booting it has a red pilot light. I have even removed the drive from the case and booting without the drive gives a green pilot light but the device is not recognized in the hardware list. The case does not have any jumpers to change but the hard drive does. Could the problem reside here? The box recognizes my USB mouse and printer automatically.
