Why would a list member request a reply from my 
computer that I have received his message. Will they then get myraid's of 
emails with our addy's...already available on our posts. Perhaps this should 
be turned off. Just a 
thought

[newbie] particition magic etc.

2002-12-11 Thread Don and Alexa Pongracz



Hi, one more time the computer has crashed. I am 
beginning to think that the drive has been damaged, from before when I had a 
virus etc. My husband has an older computer, Pentium 2 that he has said I can 
set up Linux on. He would like to try to reformat my drive and take the time to 
figure out where we went wrong. In other words start from scratch.
As I have no operating system ie: I can get to 
login: in something similar to dos but it does not boot, is there any way to 1. 
login and get my files
2. Reformat the drive using particion magic (we 
have the program)
 
Many thanks in advance, 
 
Alexa


[newbie] whew-boy help again

Well, I've gone a redone a bit. First my printer 
didn't work, and I thought perhaps it was the settings, although they seemed 
okay. Then it hung...my fault, and then I rebooted.  The printer still 
won't print, I now suspect it is out of ink, and the one red warning is 
this:
dhcpd failed
 
and now my internet won't work.
Question one: what remedy would work
Question two: would the settings I had in place 
perhaps change as I had to shut the computer off when it hung??
Any help would be appreciated.

[newbie] addendum

2002-11-16 Thread Don and Alexa Pongracz



An addition to my previous correspondence. The 
computer now looks for the internet addy for shaw.ca ...I think I my have keyed 
in the wrong thing for host and now the poor computer is dreadfully 
confused


[newbie] more research

2002-11-16 Thread Don and Alexa Pongracz



I believe I am having problems defining my host. I 
am networked to my husbands computer and we get our internet services from 
shaw.ca. when I am asked to define the host it wants me to be very specific. The 
book says to use data provided by your ISP. Well and good but shaw cable says 
that as I am networked, despite the fact we pay for two computers, it is my 
problem and I must deal with it myself. Their solution is for me to connect to 
the cable directly, which would create different settings, and I think that 
would be useless. So - question - when I am defining host, what is the right way 
to go?


[newbie] well, help!

Hi, I'm Alexa, and really new to the Linux route but sticking with it
because I want to.
I had Mandrake 8.2 installed and don't have any dollars to get the upgrade.
Well, it bombed on me and I lost my X thing for the desktop so I have to
reinstall. Now my internet, never a problem before won't install.
As I lay in bed last night thinking...I wondered if I tried to jam too much
on ie: lots of packages where only one was highlighted (button) and if I
should just stick to workstation and games. At least, that's what I'm trying
this morning.
The best thing about yesterday was finding this support group. Like someone
else, I am back in windows, but on my husbands machine. I develop Web Pages,
have a goal of owning my own Linux server, and really want to learn. Finally
there's someone I can ask questions of...second question..will the group get
too irritated if I ask really dumb questions?
