What safety measures/preventative action should I take to minimise the effects of sudden power failures. 2. I read somewhere that switching off the system without logging out in the recommended manner (equivalent to a power failure) can/will (I'm not sure which) result in corruption of sys files rendering LM unbootable (or was that an exageration). 3. For example are there special keyboard inputs I can make to save that which is in Ram as I go along, say every 10 minutes. 4. Win will scan the disk and save corrupt or unlinked files - what does LM do in this situation. Thanks Alan (South Africa) answer to 1 is buy an ups protection and plug your system in to it so that in the event that you lose power anser to 2 Switching off system when power is on can possible corrupt and operating system see 1 answer to 3 most applications have an auto save timer you can enable that 4.) I do not know if you give more info on system than i make an educated guess

First: I cant get my sound-card to operate correctly. Lothat detects it correctly as a Yamaha Xwave direct 128, initializes it, and believes that it is good. The probnlem is, is that when I test it, it only plays the first half of the sample. Any ideas?? second, when I try to boot my SMP system with the SMP Kernel, it locks, ifallibly, every time, as it tries to initialize the ramdisk driver.This is the stock kernel tha come ith mandrake 7.0... and ideas or hints on how can fix either (both is better) problem, GREAT! -- Shawn Somers AKA Razer ICQ UIN: 1867109 programmer, renderer, audio fanatic! could be DMA channel Ben
Re: [newbie] Cable Modem
Title: Cable Modem - Original Message - From: Michael D. Seymour To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Monday, February 14, 2000 9:09 AM Subject: [newbie] Cable Modem I need some help getting my LM 7.0 machine to connect to the internet using a cable modem. My ISP (Time Warner) uses DHCP. I currently have a second PC that uses the connection that runs win98. In an ideal situation I would like to network the 2 PC's via a hub so they could share the cable connection to the internet. For now though I would just be happy to get the Mandrake PC to connect. Thanks in advance, Michael Seymour No problem. If you are using ics program in windows98 which acts as an router use static ip on windows machine 192.168.0.1. Your linux box default gateway should be the same as windows machine. I have similar set up on my 5 workstation network.
