Anyway - as the subject says - how can i get rid of this graphical bootup screen - it SUCKS ! I want the normal text bootup back, black background and linux kernel messages floating down my screen. I already searched in deja which turned up with the solution to uninstall the bootsplash rpm and removin the quit option from the append line in lilo.conf. It didnt solve my problem - in 8.1 one was able to switch off this feature in mandrake control - but this isnt possible any more, the option is gone (why ) So - can anybody provide a solution to this (i am pretty sure there are lots of u who want to kick this graphical bootup too ;) greets --qu Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com If you are using lilo as a boot manager remove the 'quiet' keyword from the append line in /etc/lilo.conf. Also, I changed the 'vga=xxx' to 'vga=791'. This puts the screen in 1024x768 mode. Make sure you have a backup way to load linux so you can chage it back if necessary. By the way, the 'vga=791 also put my virtual consoles into 1024x768 mode. Makes it very nice. Now the vc screen is easy to read and there are lots more lines per screen. Do not forget to execute lilo after the above changes.

Two minutes at the website gave me: http://www.lindows.com/lindows_michaelsminutes.php I'm probably going to ruffle a few feathers here but I think it needs to be said. Does anybody seriously think this will be a good thing for Linux and free software? I most certainly don't. Why pay US$99 when you can get CodeWeavers CrossOver Office for $54.95, which you can install on virtually any modern distro? CodeWeavers give all of their code back to the community, while Lindows don't. Lindows is highly insecure: everything runs as root and users are even discouraged from creating a root password. All we need are a few easily-written exploit scripts for this poor excuse of an OS and open source as a whole (not just Lindows) will be given a bad name. GNU/Linux virii will become a widespread reality (on Lindows, that is), fueling opposition to open source. Antivirus and security companies will jump on this. People will be duped by their FUD-laden advertising and will pay big bucks for software they don't even need. I can see this becoming some sort of vicious cycle. Until Lindows gains some decent security I shall continue to wish for it to suffer a horrible, horrible death. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody. -- Dave '-ddt-' Taylor, announcing DOOM for Linux Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There are instructions on how to get Divx5 working on the MPlayer site (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/). Here's what it says: DivX5 - MPlayer supports it in two ways: by using the official libdivxdecore.so binary library available at avifile.sf.net, or by using the well-known libavcodec. The latter is the recommended for its speed, simplicity and stability ! Neither of them supports encoding currently. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan yeah, but latest MPlayer snapshot is very buggy, i've recently joined the MPlayer mailing list, and there are tons of bug reports being teken care of. i did an install myself and i can't even open it if i use the -framedrop parameter. just segfaults all over the place. wouldn't be too strange if an older version worked better for addy.
