Re: [newbie] Updating kernel w/ Mandrake Updater
Ian McLeod wrote: First, I would suggest that you download the RPM file rather than use the updater (I read this in the update program or somewhere, can't remember) Auto-Updating the kernel is highly discouraged by Mandrake, and I wish I would have read that before I toasted a bunch of stuff doing it.;) __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] How can I configure MDK7.1 with another OS using BootMagic?
I'm behind on mt reading, but I used to install LILO onto my /boot bartition, and then point Boot Magic to that -- works quite well. But now I use GRUB Dan Romanator wrote: Hi everybody, Has any one been successful configuring Linux Mandrake 7.1 and another OS such as WinNT4?

Re: [newbie] KDE's Trash Can
My question is -- why does mine already function like this? I have the empty or non empty trash kdm wrote: The idea of **NOT** dropping everything you choose to **DELETE** into the recycle/trash bin, is that the user is **SMART** enough to judge whether he/she really wants to delete that particular file. The same idea behind the KDE one click, the user is smart enough to know that they made the right choice with the **FIRST** click, and does not need to verify every choice they make. Personally I agree, anything else is a step backwards. The question is: Are **YOU** smart enough? Dear friends: I have been using KDE for over a year now, beginning with Red Hat 6.0, then Linux Mandrake 6.1, then Linux Mandrake 7.0 and now Linux Mandrake 7.1. Very pleased, all in all. Yet, one thing that continues to mystify me is the Trash can. My KDE 1.1.1 manual tells me that you can drag n drop files from the File Manager into the Trash can. Well, that' s no different and actually more cumbersome than going into an xterm and typing rm file.xxx. Okay, I am willing to accept that as a graphical way of doing it. What I would REALLY like to know is if there is a way for the KDE Trash to function the way it the Recycle Bin does in Windows: that is, to help you save a file that you ACCIDENTALLY deleted. Now that would be something. In Windows 95 and above, any file you inadvertently delete is not actually deleted but dumped in the Recycle Bin, from which you can always retrieve it. Similarly in Win3.1, by using Sentry, you can retrieve lost files. Can KDE's Trash do the same? Will it be able to do it in KDE2? Is there any way to do this in LM 7.1? Does the new Reiser File System have anything to do with this? We all know how easy it is to inadvertently lose a file, especially if you are a newbie and especially if you have come from Windows and are used to having the Recycle Bin rescue you from your mistakes. If this key function is not yet available in Linux, it certainly ought to be. At least in my opinion. And especially for user-friendly distros, including the one I am using, Linux Mandrake.

Re: [newbie] Linux resources online
My first job was selling Sanyo 8086 and 8088s back in 84, and I started programming on tandies in 81 Anybody else on this list old enough to remember when the "suits" didn't run things, and games/software were ported to every single platform, just because they could/it was neat?

Re: [newbie] X configuration
DO NOT do the test in the install. answer with a resolution that you KNOW will work e.g. 800x60016bpp and then do NOT boot automatically into X. When you boot up, type startx and then in the configuration you can change and test to your heart's content, and then set up to boot into X if you want to cilia wrote: Kdm, I wish I could help but alas I am trying to install 6.5 and have the same problem with the monitor.
