[newbie] Any XyMTeX users out there?
Hi, all the listers. I wish to use the XyMTeX package to type chemical structures, but am having difficulties. 1) The source file has the extension .lzh, which I've never seen. How do I unpack and install it? 2) I'm a plain TeX user, whereas XyMTeX is said to be called within LaTeX files. Is it possible (maybe with slight modifications) to use xymtex also within files written in plain TeX format? On the XyMTeX official website I couldn't find any help, neither a mailing list or email address where to ask for help. Is there any XyMTeX user out there who can possibly provide a hint?

With your Software Install GUI enter kernel in the search box You will see a list of available kernels. Install the 2.4 kernel. It will become the default kernel. Your 2.6 kernel will still be available in the lilo menu. If you want to change the default kernel use the Boot GUI in Mandrake Control centre. Note the 2.4 kernel loads its modules according to /etc/modules.conf, while the 2.6 kernel uses /etc/modprobe.conf so you must ensure both files are set up correctly. If you have an Nvidia video card and use the proprietary driver you will have to compile it for each kernel version (using the correct kernel-source) My own scanner does not work with the 2.6 kernel so I have to boot with 2.4 whenever I want to use it. derek Thank you Derek. This seems to be a logical way forward and I downloaded the new kernel as you suggested. It went very smoothly. However, I still get an insmod problem, which you may have dealt with. This is with the new 2.4 kernel. It is as follows and if you have any ideas please let me know. Since writing this mail, part of the problem has been solved by changing permissions to 777 and making files executable. However, after insmod (ing) the module the scanner starts normally but goes into total computer crash after about 10 seconds. Does anyone know a good way to check for IRQ conflict or have any other suggestion a to why it crashes. The change of kernel truly surprised me by its straight forwardness and if other Lister's cannot get hardware to work with 2.6 would advise them to try 2.4. Mandrake is extraordinarily versatile.

Mandrake 10.1 will work out of the box with some cards (e.g. Avermedia DVB), but will require compiling of new modules with others (e.g. new style Hauppauge Nova-T) The situation is complicated by manufacturers changing the chip sets of their cards without changing model names. Mandrake 10.2 will support many more cards without having to recompile the kernel. Personally I would recommend a card based on a late model chip set such as the Connexant cx88 chipset. The Hauppauge Nova-T DVB card works better for me than the Avermedia card did. (better signal quality) What software do you want to use with the card? I can heartily recommend MythTV. It is absolutely fabulous. There are RPMs for it on plf, but they are out of date and not compiled for digital TV (DVB) cards.

Also, you can do pretty much the same thing by specifying a redirect to the desired URL as well, I suppose. I don't think that there are any limitations, whatever request comes in, gets rewritten as long as it matches. I want this login page to only be accessable via https.
