OK, first off you have to create mount points for the other computers, then mount them. mount -t smbfs //laptop/c /mnt/laptop as an example. Do this for each computer that you are wanting to view. If you are using KDE, call up your home directory, click on Root Directory, then the folder in the mnt directory that corresponds with your computer. Drag and drop into your linux box. You are going to have to experiment with copying to the win boxes. Another way to do the copying is from the command line: mv /home/bill/foobar.txt /mnt/laptop/foobar.txt this copies the file foobar.txt to the root directory of my windows box.

(also strange is blocking email address's that had been active for over a year... the block should have been added for new subscriptions, not very old ones.. the other thing that stopped that is that yahoo dont' do the pop and smtp mail for free now, they have changed to a subscription model.. I'll pay it if I have to, but the money would be better off in Mandrakes users club.. Anyone got any other suggestions for me? and don't suggest webmail, there is no way I will do that on a dial up connection. any thoughts rgds Frank __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Serial is not an option unless I buy it separately. I shouldn't have to do this. But, if it gets me off Windows maybe I should think about it. Are you using a Palm, and which one? Dan B Using a IIIxe, I actually abhor USB, even in M$. Have only got one item to work under USB in Linux and that partially. Mine came serial. There are people on the list pretty fluent in USB setup, I'm just not one of them. Next coupla days I'm going to try IR from the laptop to the palm.

Re: [newbie] KMail Email Backup

Does anyone know which files ( directory) have my email mail folders in them? Can I just use one of the archive tools in KDE's desktop menu to archive them? I assume I can copy the archive file to my windows partition where it will be (reasonably) safe while I reinstall Mandrake 8.1 and then just copy it back and unarchive it back where it came from? Wes, What I did was copy my Mail folder to my windows partition (as an assumption), it copied all my mail folders, with contents. What I did have to do though, was setup my email accounts again. I did a complete reinstall from 8.0 to 8.1. Bill Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Running Executables
Mike, I believe it will be a path problem. I created and installed into /dnetc. I have not created a link to it. When I start dnetc, I type /dnetc/dnetc and off it goes. HTH Bill - Original Message - From: joneswm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 7:06 PM Subject: [newbie] Running Executables Hi all, I've got the L-M 8, and I installed the program from distributed.net to run in the background, and use idle CPU cycles to do work for them. It won't run. When I log in as mike and run the program, BASH responds with dnetc: command not found. Same thing when I log in as root. When I log in as root and type ldd dnetc I get the message not a dynamic executable. I first used ldd, (and the distributed.net program) with Caldera 1.2. ldd lists the libraries that a program is linked or compiled against, in other words, what it needs in order to run. Remember the please check to see that all required libraries are available when running Winbloze? I think this is the same idea. Why won't this program run? I don't think it's a permissions problem, it's not a PATH problem, and I don't think it's a libc5 / glibc issue.
