How can you see 98 partition I can't see it even under root? James Fidell wrote: Quoting Hill, Andrew ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I am able to copy files across from my windows drives, but I am unable to copy them back. Any idea why? Mandrake 7.0 and Win98. Without any indication of what error messages etc. you are getting, it's only possible to guess. I'd imagine that it's because by default the win98 filesystem is mounted by root and as such all files will appear to be owned by root. As a normal user you will not then be able to write to the windows filesystem. Probably the best solution to this problem is to create a new group whose members will be those userids that can write files to the win98 paritition. Then mount the win98 partition specifying the new group with the "gid" option and a umask option to make the win98 filesystem group-writable.

[newbie] modem woes
I am having problems with my modem as well, the jumpers are set correctly and I ran the query in kppp it worked once then I do it again I get a error message "Sorry the modem is not responding" I've tried changing ports and same result. It worked with Winlinux it works with 98, it is also on the list of modems that work. I even reinstalled Linux no luck. Thanks Dave

I left it at that for the did not log or close kppp tried it again and get the message Modem not responding. The Modem works fine through Winlinux which is how I am sending this message. Thanks Dave
Re: [newbie] Email programs?

I am currently using kmail, the kde mail client, but it seems to lack some of the features I'd like to see in an email client. I am using NETSCAPE MAIL works good but for some reason it is missing the font resizing preference.

Re: [newbie] Icons to large
Hi All, I am new to the list. I to am having the same problem with Madrake, I had succes with Winlinux2000, but not with Mandrake. - Original Message - From: "Jennifer Ricki Wise" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 01, 2000 3:22 PM Subject: [newbie] Icons to large I had to reinstall Mandrake, when xconfig came up I was stuck using the default as all the other sizes would not be accepted. Now the icons are way to large and when I open some of the icons like Netscape I can't see the accept button. Is there any way to change the screen size to something like 800 x 600.
