[newbie] OT: How to mount a Windows partition
Hi, I am sorry that this is a little OT, but I have a machine that will not boot up in Windows, and I want to be able to back up the HD. I have booted a live distro (MEPIS) and the disk is seen as hda (hda1, hda2). A usb disk is seen as sda (sda1, sda2, sda3) I want to be able to mount hda1 and sda1 and copy files from one to the other. Can some kind soul provide some incantations to enable me to do this please. My Mandrake machine has no Windows partitions or usb disks so I can't look in fstab to get some clues. And yes, I am a real newbie! -- Best regards, Davidmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] SpamAssassin startup
Hi, I am following Derek Jennings' excellent Postfix mail server configuration document, and have got stuck in the SpamAssassin part. The doc says that you need to install the RPM, and then start the spamassassin service in Mandrake Control CentreSystemServices. Unfortunately there is no entry for SpamAssassin. . Can anyone give an incantation to get it there (or even visible in Webmin)? The RPM is SpamAssassin-3.0.2-0.1010.lmdk.i586.rpm. Regards David Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Raising More Capital
Well, After seeing the plea for people to join the club, I thought what the hell, why not! Then I went to the web site, saw that the cost was $60, thought OK, for a home user that is quite a lot, but at least it is supporting the company to produce further versions of what seems to be a pretty good product. Filled in the order form, and suddenly the cost is over $70. Why? I have to pay FRENCH tax of 19%. No chance! - I live in the UK. I can order stuff - and this is not even a physical package - from many US software companies and not pay tax. Why should I contribute to another country's tax revenue?
