RE: [newbie] 2 X-related questions - or ISO CD can not access...
If the CD is un-bootable then you will need to boot dos to access the cd. You will then need to create a boot disk. Once you have the cd accessible, grab a blank floppy and go to the dosutils directory and run the file called rawrite.exe. The image file it wants is in d:\images\boot.img (if "D" is not your CDROM in dos then replace with the correct letter)The program will create a bootable floppy for the Linux-Mandrake installation program. Install and enjoy..

[newbie] ipchains question.
I have installed LM as firewall for a company that was using NT proxy. All IP from the private network routes out fine except they can no longer receive exchange email from internet senders. The exchange server is on a private IP number (192.168.0.2) behind the firewall as it was with the proxy server before. I am not familiar with Exchange server (and I do not expect anyone here to be...) but is this just a port forwarding thing for SMTP traffic??? If so, how does one port forward with ipchains? I assume that I would forward the smtp port to my NT server right? Thanks! --- Beach ¤ [EMAIL PROTECTED] No, try not.. do, or do not.. there is no try. -Yoda
RE: [newbie] Screen saver in logon manager?
I know the background image can be changed on the login manager, but what about the screen saver? Currently it just blanks out the screen. --- Tim Beacham, HDIS ¤ [EMAIL PROTECTED] No, try not.. do, or do not.. there is no try. -Yoda -Original Message- From: Dennis Podein [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 9:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Screen saver in logon manager?

[newbie] sshd?
I would like to connect to my server with ssh but I need to have sshd.. Where can I get a sshd RPM for LM 6? What is the best version (stability over cutting edge)? Thanks! Beach
[newbie] Strange Ethernet problem..
I have two Ethernet cards in my machine - one for the cable modem and another for my private network and I use ipchains to masquerade through the cable modem.The problem is the connection is very slow on the private side of the network using samba or ftp back to the server and on the internet. I average 7k/sec transfers when it should be around 800k/sec +/- from the local server. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? The same machine worked fine with 5.3 Festen.I guess it is possible that this has nothing to do with forwarding at all. Here is the script I use to start ipchains... echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ Thanks! Beach
RE: [newbie] Which motherboards?
I use a Tyan Trinity 100 AT with a AMD K6-2 350, it has three DIMMs and a couple of SIMMs but I think you will need to use PC100 DIMMs if you are planing to use the board at 100MHz. If the Bogomips rating is an indication of speed, this board (with the 350 and 32MB RAM) rates 699. I assume that is what it means.. The Pentium 100 I use at work only rates 39 bogomips... At any rate - here is a web site with the specs on the board if this is something you are interested in: http://www.tyan.com/products/html/s1590s.html Beach -Original Message- From: Pankil Richards [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 11, 1999 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Wwhich motherboards?

I'm using an ASUS P2B 440 BX and it's working very well with Linux-Mandrake (if that's your particular concern). As for Slot 7, I think you either meant Socket 7 or Slot I or II.
[newbie] SAMBA again...
In the quest to get samba working, I have some how installed 2.0.4 and 2.0.3 - at least that is what KDE packager tells me.When I use KDE packager to uninstall I receive an error that reads something like multiple samba packages exist and it will not un-install. Is there a way to fix this?? I want to try an earlier release to see if I can get a stable network.. Beach
