Re: Re: [newbie] Modem setup help required
Does if have jumpers on board? It'll be alot easier to configure if you set it to a specific com port like COM3, and maybe IRQ4, if it won't conflict with your serial devices. I've had problems with plug and play so I disabled it. If you're running a dual-boot machine look at its COM, IRQ and PORT settings on windows so you can set it up with setserial /dev/ttyS3 irq 4 port yabadayabada. on /etc/rc.d/rc.serial, then do ln -s /dev/ttyS3 /dev/modem or better yet use modemconf, it'll do it for you.

Re: RE: [newbie] Need a cheap non-Winmodem
I'm using both COM ports already and my board only has 1 ISA slot, and I have a SBAwe 64 on it. Ok, I'm willing to do the setserial and symlink combo thingies But PCI is the only thing I have left...really. I have a 3Com winmodem and I hate it.

Re: Re: [newbie] En-TUX-icating a 15GB FAT HD
I don't. Anyway, I'm contemplating on just buying a new hard drive to avoid this problem. I have business data on the drivetoo off the edge for a risk. Will upgrading to 128MB be necessary if I DO run these large drives, 10GB probably? This system has a 500MHz Celeron so.. Any good MOBO recommendations on the S370 class?

[newbie] En-TUX-icating a 15GB FAT HD
Situation: I have a 15GB Maxtor HD and no form of backup media whatsoever. The 15GB runs Win9X and is divided into 5 partitions equally [3G each], all of them FAT32.[CDEFG] I have about 6GB of important data (Media Files, PDFs) and my son's MP3s. I don't have a burner or an extra hard drive and 6GB is about as small as everything can get. Question: Is it possible for me to: 1. move all of this data into D and E, use C for Win (without resizing C,D,E); and 2. convert F and G to swap,/,/usr,/home using the auto-allocate thingy and into ReiserFS, while 3. still accessing my data without any problems in both Mandrake and Win9X. Does keeping the size of CDE constant maintain the integrity of my files? Is changing my partition table for only the F and G part going to affect my data? [make it useless, or invisible to either OS] The machine has 64MB of RAM, so would I still need a sufficient swap file size, or shouldn't I bother with it since what I'm trying to do with partition tables is impossible? Any and all help is appreciated. TIA. __ www.edsamail.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] a newbie using LM7.2 and cygwin
Hey guys! I use LM 7.2 on a dual-boot machine with Win98. Fact is, I use some software in Win98 but spend most of my time using Linux, too much time in fact that I'm mixing up ls, cat, less, etc. with M$-DOS. I wanted to get bash into windows so I looked around the web for bash ports for Win32. I just wanted to ask if anyone has used djgpp or cygwin on Win32? I've tried both and found cygwin easier to use but have a hard time finding new packages to use with Xf86 and configuring twm. Where can I find other window managers and help configing them. And lynx keeps looking for cygncurse5.dull which I can't find on the net. Can anyone refer me to where I can find packages for cygwin? Does anyone know of a better UNIX port to win32 other than these two? Any help is welcome including no help at all. Thanks a bundle for reading this. __ www.edsamail.com
[newbie] USR internal modem
Hello to everyone! Total newbie hereI need some advice. I have an old Celeron 400 system I just rehabilitated and I want it to run Linux. Problem is I only have cds for 7.1 [kernel 2.2.14]. Installation went well except that it's having issues with the only modem I have left that's any good. I just wanted to ask for advice on how I can get this machine connected to the net using the 3com PCI modem. Do I need a kernel upgrade or anything like that? I've heard linux has issues with internal modems but some people have had their modems work. I want to use this modem particularly coz it was pretty fast on my Win98 box. Also I'm interested in turning this machine into a web server, how do I go about doing this (possibly). Advice and URL links to info will be greatly appreciated. __ www.edsamail.com

[newbie] Just a newbie question
*
I've been using Linux exclusively for the past two months and it's absolutely
given me a new direction.
My Exploration seems to have ended when I saw that little foot at the lower left
hand cornerand I saw not a START but a finish.
$ has become my symbol of control and no longer is anything > (greater than) me.
*
Before this newbie starts ranting again, I gotta get this out.
I want to study C/C++. I'm just starting to fool around with gcc.
I tried using Visual C++ for a start but I think it's too self-centered...
if a piece of software can have a personality on its own.
main()
{
char answer;
printf("Would you use Visual C++? Enter Y\/N:\n");
scanf("%c",&answer);
if (answer=y)
printf("Why?\n");
else
printf("What would you rather use?\n");
)
So what "would" you rather use?
And what stuff "would" you read?
Which URLs "would" you browse?
Newsgroups? Mailing Lists?
Web Communities?
Or "would" you rather dive head first into Java [w/c is easier as I've heard]?
Any answer would be greatly appreciated..
AND
Yes I'm a schizo...

[newbie] Re: Linux Sound I saw Ure addy on the Newbie List
What other sound cards do you have? Have you tried looking at the mixers (kmix and the like) to see if your sounds are muted? It also depends on which X win you use, I like the kde themes and use em alot. There's a check box in KDE Control Center where you can enable system sounds. In Gnome, the gnomecc has two widgets which you have to click to enable sounds. One is way down below the list asking if u want to enable sounds for window manager events. You should enable this and the other option where it asks if you want to enable sound server startup. That's all I can say for now. Pls give me more info so I can give better advice.

[newbie] XMMS problems
I just got my sound working along with my CDROM, using 7.1 coz 7.2 is about as hard to find as a linux expert in this country. My problem is when I use XMMS in KDE. I noticed that my box was running slower when I started playing mp3s. I just swapped for a no-name 128 mb DIMM last week and I have a feeling its badeven in Windows 2000 b.c.[before chmouel] hehehehe I originally had 98 and had to linux mem=128m..You know Now I run the sysinfo app before I start xmms and it dwindles from 54m free to about 1.24m. After that, the system becomes very slow. I can play mp3s but it stops every two songs and says it can't find my soundcard. But I press x and it starts after about 2 tries. What's the issue here? Do I have bad ram? Is 128m not enough to run K-jofol? Is this normal in 7.1??? And what about this stopping between songs? So many questions.. I have a CMI8738 sound onboard my MOBO and it works fine. By the way, I've successfully recompiled my kernel after reading bits from this list...keep the 411 coming guys! I'm learning more here than from reading the HOWTOs. My sound works and linux couldn't be better, except perhaps if I can get my hands on a 7.2 set.

Re: Re: [newbie] Goodbye
I have both SuSE and Mandrake 7.1. I can't make SuSe work with my video card. I can't play audio cd's with LM 7.1. Go figure, huh... Kscd can play the cd but no sound is coming out. I have decent sound for events on all window managers, xmms works. It's pretty weird. Can anybody help? I don't wanna give up on Mandrake.
