I would then browse to Charles site www.eslrahc.com and click on your actual distribution version. At the top of the page is the suggested link for adding eslrahc back onto you urpmi . but read on first. Though mine is Mandrake 10 and would look like this : urpmi.addmedia eslrahc http://www.eslrahc.com/10.0/ with hdlist.cz I would add the switches ' c ' and ' f ' like so : urpmi.addmedia -c -f eslrahc http://www.eslrahc.com/10.0/ with hdlist.cz I have found that when I have any problems with any particular media, this way seems to always put things right.

[newbie] Migrating W2K web to MDK 9.1
Gentle folks, I want to migrate my company's intranet web site from Windows platform to Linux. At the moment I run that web on a W2k server and administer it from a W2k client (using MS FrontPage for editing HTM pages and Visual InterDev for ASP). I authenticate my users with a logon.asp page that looks into MS SQL Server database (on the same W2k server) having credentials of my users. What I want to do is to migrate that web server to MDK 9.1 platform that is already installed on the other disk (described in http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+WinNT.html). The next step would be to switch editing that web server by using the client box (also having MDK 9.1 installed as the alternate OS). And, btw, I am not going to upgrade Mdk 9.1 with something newer, don't ask me why. So, what I am wondering now is: - Is it possible to run some Linux tool or something that is capable to 'import' the whole web site from Windows disk (both disks are SCSI disks of the same size) and to make the new Apache site operational quickly? If not, what would be the suitable solution (I wouldn't mind to keep W2k site there for a while, at least for a transitional period of time, until I get some proficiency of administering sites under Linux). - Are there some MDK 9.1 'from-the-box' editing tools for HTM(L) and ASP pages that I may use for remote web server administration and editing the content from my MDK 9.1 client box? If not, what would you suggest to look for? Btw, I run Mozilla 1.7.x under both Win and Lin environments - as the email client and web browser - but I don't have any idea about its Composer quality. - What to use instead of SQL Server - capable to authenticate the users in the similar manner as described above?

Regards, Misko Misko, it has been a while since I did this, but, you should be able to take all of the html pages, such as index.html, page1xx.html etc and all .png, .gif, .jpg, etc save them to a CD or DVD and then install them all in /var/www/html. Then start httpd and Apache should pick them up and bingo you are back on the internet with your web page. Just as an aside though , if you used MS FrontPage to do the web site, it will not conform to the W3C standards. Some browsers may not render it properly. It is not to bad to fix if you use Quanta+ and revise some of the html a bit. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If so, maybe you use a CD player like Noatun (the KCDplayer). That one requires analog input. That means you'll have to check if there is an audio cable from the device to the motherboard or soundcard. Other players like grip or xmms can use digital input and require no audio cable. I don't think grip needs any additional software, but xmms does. I think it is called xmms-cdread. But first, try grip. If no go, report back.

[newbie] floppy error
I know the floppy is an old media, however, thats the easiest/cheapest way for me to transfer files from home to work, especially when the file is 640k. Anyway, if I take disk preformatted for dos I can copy files to it. however, if I try to format a disk either with Kfloppy or Floppy Formatter it just doesn't work. My syslog shows errors like this: Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev fd0. Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: FAT: invalid media value (0xf6) Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev fd0.

Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: FAT: invalid media value (0xf6) Mar 6 17:35:17 cpollock kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev fd0. The desktop shows the little triangle on the floppy icon which I assume means its mounted, however, running as root, # umount /dev/fd0 tells me the device is not mounted. Apparently the disk is not being formatted. I figure that if I can copy a file to a preformatted disk then the drive is ok, or is that a misconception? -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 17:27:58 up 10 days, 20:05, 2 users, load average: 1.34, 0.74, 0.59 Mandrake Linux 10.1 Official, kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk Youth is when you blame all your troubles on your parents; maturity is when you learn that everything is the fault of the younger generation.
