[newbie] mkisofs - data cd's with directories
You know, this should be simple. Nearly everybody does it, right? ;) Yet I am having trouble with mkisofs getting it to replicate a directory sstructure so that I can just continually go from one directory to the other (it is an audio book set of mp3s) without having to jump all over the resulting CD on my mp3 player trying to figure out what chapter to play next. The files (originally) were structured like: disc1/ - Track01.mp3 disk1/ - Track02.mp3 .. disc2/ - Track01.mp3 disc2/ - Track02.mp3 and so forth; typically, 13-15 mp3s per each disc subdirectory. Obviously, what I'd like is to just have the disc1/*, disc2/* etc, so that each file would follow naturally in sequence. My first effort $ mkisofs -J -r -v -o datacd disc*/* failed (using the Linux cookbook example) because it saw each of those "track" files conflicting with other file names (that is, track01 in disc1 would conflict with track01 in disc5) -- an obvious sign that it was just going to stuff the files in any way it could without following any directory structure. I also went into the directories to rename the files to more sensible names at this point (damn Windowz no shell users) :( . 'rename' is neat btw, if you figure out how to use it. :) After some reading (again in the Linux Cookbook) I tried using the --graft-points option, and this is saner, but still I ended up with all the files in the main / directory of the resulting data iso. But I did manage to make subdirectories on the ISO. But doing so was horrendous, as I seem to have to do: $ mkisofs -r -J -v -V "StarWarsIIIbook" -o datacd -graft-points disc1/=disc1 disc2/=disc2 disc3/=disc3 disc4/=disc4 disc5/=disc5 disc6/=disc6 disc7/=disc7 disc8/=disc8 disc9/=disc9 disc10/=disc10 disc11/=disc11 disc*/* One would think wildcards would work here, but it doesn't seem to - mkisofs will complain. I can mount the CD and navigate through the directories, they seem reasonable, but ideally I'd like to be able to do this in my settop mp3 player or portable cd/mp3 player without having to jump all over the disc. -- David E.

Does the mouse work with the adapter on other computers? Other OSs? The reason I ask is that I have run into this before, where someone has a mouse, and they have an adapter from a different mouse, and they do not work together. The problem is that the PS/2 to serial, and PS/2 to USB adapters just convert the plug, without changing the signal levels. They work with the mouse they came with because the mouse uses different signal levels, and possible protocols, depending on how it is plugged in. For a mouse that works with a PS/2 to serial adapter, it works with ttl level (0 to +5 volts) signals when plugged into a PS/2 port, and with RS-232 levels (any ware from +/-3 to +/-35 volts.) A PS/2 only mouse, or a PS/2 and USB mouse will not work with on a serial port even though it will plug into the adapter. It doesn't have the circuits for it. Now, if the mouse is one that will work on a serial port, then we can work on getting Mandrake to work with it... But Mandrake usualy finds a serial mouse without help.

[newbie] ark & rar
Hi Folks, I have tried to use ark to extract a rar file but failed. It reported something like "the file compressed using x-rar-compress" and then failed. At that moment I used the ark along the Mandrake 10 & KDE3.2. I remember its version is 2.4.x or so. Then I downloaded an ark-3.4-x RPM from rpmfind.net. but after installing it, the run of "ark" gave me a "relocation error: XXX". I have to remove it. Where could I download a right version of ark? Or is there some other good tool for rar? Many thanks for any help. Bests, Q.H. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] weird frozen bubble problem
Rosemary McGillicuddy wrote: I've just installed frozen bubble to have a play but can't actually get it to do anything. Used urpmi frozen-bubble and install seemed okay, get the frozen bubble display up but cursor disappears when I try to hover over any of the buttons. I can see it in the blue area above and use it the mouse to move the game display about but it disappears as soon as I move it onto the game area. What is this? Rosemary PS After the install it did say "buggy audio file" or something. This will be because ALSA is disabled, due to previous problems. Rosemary, I'm no expert so this may be the blind leading the blind here. Sometimes I've had problems with the latest packages of that I download using urpmi. I've had some luck by disabling all 'net' sources and only leaving the Mdk disks to force it to install from the CD. Of course you'll need to remove the copy you currently have installed first. -Aidan. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
