Re: [newbie] dreamweaver for linux?

2001-05-01 Thread Adam Greene

There is also Amaya from the World Wide Web Consortium.  It is a WYSIWYG.  I
don't like it as much as FrontPage (never used Dreamweaver), but it is
better than most other stuff I've seen on Linux (unfortunately).  Check this
out : http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html

 Unlikely since macromedia are a big company with lots of corporate clients

 You probably have NTFS on your NT4 system partition which LM would use to
 install Lilo. I mean your C drive
 should be a fat16 partition (that you could use for W95 or W98) then D
drive
 can use NT4 with NTFS if you want,
 and last LM and Lilo will be happy to coexist with these two.
 Use PQ magic to create 3 partitions from the beginning of
 of your HD:
 fisrt your Fat
 2nd your swap and linux (LM won't boot if too far, 1024 cylinder)
 3rd your NT4 partition.
 Good Luck. Let me if it works for you.

What if you add the idedma (or is it dma) switch to the kernel boot
sequence.  ie.  idedma=100.  I know that under LM 7.2, as it is booting, it
says something like "assuming 33Mhz IDE, use XXX switch to change it".

 Michael; Mandrake 7.2 doesn't run properly on the ata100 on the ASUS A7V
 board just yet. I'm running that board on this system. 8.0 may support
 it, but since it's still a Beta product, don't expect it to run properly
 yet. Use the standard IDE interfaces for now. Apparently there is a way
 to make it work on 7.2 but even so it's still "buggy". Try installing
 your O/S using the stabdard interface, and then switching to the ata100
 interface afterwards.

Re: [newbie] recompiling the kernel

2001-03-12 Thread Adam Greene



When you installed Linux you would have had to 
installed the kernel source then you would go to the directory called 
"/usr/souce/linux" (sometimes its /usr/src/linux-2.2.18 or something like 
that). then you would type "make menuconfig" then once you have made all 
the settings for your computer, type "make dep", "make install", "make modules", 
"make modules_install". But I must warn you this is a tricky thing for a 
newbie. (It can get sticky for those who know what they are doing). 
The biggest speed increase comes from two things, you can compile the kernel 
optimized for your particular processor (LM comes compile for Pentium, but you 
can optimize for PIII, Cyrix, Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird, etc). The second 
comes from removing drivers from the kernel that you are using (why have ISDN 
support when you don't even have one or plan to get one).

Re: [newbie] My evaluation of New Traktopel Beta Mandrake 8

I had this problem.  There are actually two different DHCP clients available

if this is the case in 8.0).  I found that one worked great, the other
didn't work at all for me.

Yes, I'm running Mandrak 7.2, NVidia (Geforce2 MX), and ReiserFS.  I hand
installed my XFree86 4.0.2 and get the source RPMs, ran rpm --rebuild
NVIDIA_kernel*, installed the resulting RPM (found in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS) and
then ran rpm --install NVIDIA_GLX*, and then rebooted the computer for good
measure, ran XFree86 and it went beautifully.  (There was some library work
I think, but everything you need to know is at the NVidia site under Linux

[newbie] I could calculate faster on my finger then the 2.4.1 Kernel!!!!!

I just installed kernel 2.4.1 onto Linux Mandrake 
7.2 and now it is slower than all get out. I downloaded, extracted, ran 
make mrproper, make menuconfig, didn't change much (sound, ethernet, etc) and 
then compiled, installed, rebooted, and it takes a LOOONNN time to 
boot. I switch back to the kernel that comes with Linux Mandrake 7.2 and 
it runs like the wind. Anyone got any ideas???
