[newbie] Licq problems =(
Hello, I have just installed the licq-0.75.3.a-2mdk and licq-data-1.5-1mdk RPMs but I cannot get licq to work. It starts up but just seems to hang. Has anyone had this problem??

Re: [newbie] USB on Mandrake 7
Sean, Mandrake 7 does have support for some USB devices, my USB mouse was detected automatically when I started the installation. I believe that the USB backport patch was applied to the kernel that comes standard with Mandrake 7. As far as your modem goes, I am not sure if it will work. Here is a good link to see if you can get your modem working: http://www.linux-usb.org/ Good Luck, Bobby > > Sean Geoghegan wrote: > > > > Any body had any success getting USB devices to work on > > MAndrake 7. > > > > I've got a mouse and a 56K Modem that I can't use. > > > > Thanks > > Sean Geoghegan

[newbie] mouse and the resolution setting
I am trying to speed up my mouse. I have read that the Resolution setting can be added to the XF86Config file under the pointer section. I have also read that this only works with some of the OSs .. is Linux one of them?? Also, does anyone know what the allowable ranges for the Resolution settings are?

[newbie] file permissions and pppd
Hello, I would like for a user to be able to use the /usr/sbin/pppd command .. this is so that the user can connect to the internet via a modem using custum scripts. Now .. when i am logged in as user and I issue the command ./usr/sbin/pppd i get the following error: ./pppd: must be root to run ./pppd, since it is not setuid-root. Now, i have tried giving the user permission to execute the pppd command using chmod 555 .. but I can still not execute the command as the user. I then tried to create a group by editing the /etc/passwd file and the /etc/group giving both root and the user permission to execute this file .. i then changed the group for the file by typing in the following command: chgrp .newgroup pppd .. i still could not execute the pppd as user .. i then tried chgrp newgroup .newgroup pppd .. i still could not execute pppd. I do have linuxconf installed on my system .. now after i had changed the group settings manually and then started linuxconf .. when i went to exit linuxconf it said that it wanted to set the group settings for pppd back to root.root. Is there some sort of file that linuxconf keeps that is overriding what i am doing .. or am i doing somehthing wrong??? any help would be greatly appreciated =)

Re: [newbie] install 7.0 problems
I downloaded the iso and used Nero to burn the image onto a CD. The install went without a hitch .. even got my usb mouse working =) If you do use nero to burn the CD, you must note that Nero (version 4.0.7.5) is unable to open a *.iso file and properly recognize it(or at least I could not find out how to do it ... still a newbie at all this). So, what I did was rename the file with a .nrg extension (extension that nero seems to use for a CD-image), opened the file up with Nero, and burned the imagethis worked for me. gl Bobby - Original Message - From: "Marc Herms" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 5:03 PM Subject: [newbie] install 7.0 problems > I had downloaded the directories /Mandrake and /images and /dosutils > and created a boot disk.
