Re: [newbie] read/write to and from NTFS/FAT
Hell, Can some one advise me on the best way to allow Mandrake 7.2 to read and write to my FAT NTFS partitions? Thank you Hi, I have LM7.2 and win95 (FAT32) and win2k (NTFS) in the same hard disk, and I couldn't write to a NTFS from LM7.2. So I had first to write all my files from LM7.2 to win95 (FAT32), and then these files are easy accesible from anywhere. Maybe you must create an extra FAT32 partition (use partition magic) to exchange files from anywhere to anywhere. I know that there is some modules that permit you to write to a NTFS from LM7.2 but I never used them. Good luck!! - Ing. Qco.

Re: [newbie] Dual Boot Win 2000 / Mandrake 7.2
Hi. I want to setup a Dual Boot with Win2k and Mandrake 7.2. Is there any documentation that will walk me through each step? I have very little experience with Linux so I have no idea how to go about doing this. Thanks, Raja Hi, I recently installed first the win2k in a ntfs file system, then I installed LM7.2 (expert mode) with GRUB option as the boot manager. After the installation LM7.2 and GRUB detects automatically the win2k and included the boot option in GRUB. If you can install both operative systems for the first time, You should not to have problems, like me. Try. Good luck! - Ing. Qco.

I made the following: (30 HB HD) 1- I partition the disc in one FAT32 unit, and leave the rest of the disc free 2- I installed win2K on this partition (FAT32) , without any other extra option (Is there any option not to install the win2K boot manager?) 3- I installed LM7.2 on the rest of the disc , without any other extra option than lilo boot manager 4- I thought the lilo must work well and lilo would overwrite the W2K boot manager, but it didn't happen. My matchine started with a black screen with the "S" in each part of the screen. How can I install these Systems in the same hard disc?

The only major software that we plan on adding to the Mandrake distro(for now) is some type of collaboration sofware like Netscape calendar/scheduling. I'll be doing an expert install(even though I'm not) and only installing the services that we absolutely need, although I will include KDE and Gnome because they are so much easier to deal with for file and system maintenance. From reading the archives I guess that I need; swap(128 megs), /boot(20 megs), /(?), /usr(600?), /usr/local(1,500?), /tmp(50?), /var(100?), and /home(the rest). The part that I don't get is what exactly gets put into "/"? Does /boot hold the kernel and / hold all the other software like Samba, etc? And then any software I add after the installation goes into /usr/local?

Hi, I think it is not necesary to do fdisk/mbr before upgrading. In addition, if you have no data on your hard disk, may be you should repartition your all hard disk and create only the partition for windows, install it and then install MDK creating the ext2 partitions in the free space of the hard disk. If you have already windows installed, you can clear the ext2 partitions in your hard disk with a linux fdisk for example (or into the same linux installation process), then into the blanck space of your hard disk you can install the MDK and redo all the partitions again, and go on with the full installation.

Given the advice I have received this far, I am thinking that perhaps I should make a 1 Gb partition for /, another 1 Gb partition for /opt, and a third 1 Gb partition for /usr. Is this a good idea? Another alternative is of course to make separate /etc, /var, /opt, /usr, /, and so on, for every file system? I'd feel pretty silly if I had made one partition too small and eventually had to reformat and reinstall the entire system, just because one of the partitions turned out to be too small. That is why I want to do this right from the beginning. Which of the alternatives is best? Some of the applications I plan to install I guess will end up in /usr. I thought this was where all third-party software was installed, but apparently some will end up in /opt? Is this true?

Look in /usr/local/WordPerfect/wpbin and see if it's there. If it is, then get in that directory in a terminal window and execute "./wpbin". If it works, then you can work out the issue of how to execute it normally, depending on the window manager you're using. If it's not there, then you really do have a bad install and I don't have a ready fix in mind. -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Using Linux to get where I want to go...

[newbie] StarOffice 5.1/ root size
Hi, - I want to reinstall StarOffice 5.1 in a particular place where then I can use it like a user or like root. I have installed it previously like root in /usr/local but when I log in like a user I can't execute it. I only can run it like log in like root. Or may be changing the permissions it can run like any user or root as well. I need help. - In other side, I want to know what is an appropiate size for my / partition. Now it is 350 MB (to optimize) but It has only 45 MB free and the /temp partition may be require more size. Thanks Emilio Correa TEL mensajes: 02932-4-21305 o 02932-4-23486 e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] Install failure for LM 6.5
Hello, i will try to help you. I think the main problem is on the hard disk partition, may be you have made a wrong type of partition. For example the best way to check it is with the fdisk utility that you must have with your MSDOS (for example). First you have to check if the partition in which you are going to install linux is a primary partition, otherwise you can't install it on an extended one. But in my opinion, the best way to install it, is to take a hard disk with only one (1) primary Dos partition on it with for example the windows system installed on it. Then when you run the installation program of Mandrake 7.0 (for example) you can add to the rest of the empty hard disk the others/other partitions/partitions and setup all the mount points on them, including the swap partition. I prefer to create the following: / , /usr, /home , /swap but it is not necesary to separate and in this moment (not before the installation). If you wan't you can chosse only the root and the swap one in order to be simple. All this procedure is be factible to make with the "Druid" program, that you can choose in the begining of the Mandrake 7.0 installation. I expect the best for you From: ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date sent: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 21:23:10 -0900 Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:[newbie] Install failure for LM 6.5 I'm trying to install LM 6.5 on a machine with abt 9GB hd, 4GB partitioned with PM 5 for Linux with swap partition created. It fails to install everytime I try. It's almost immediately during the install process. I setup the partitions, put in the CD, and reboot the system. My CD is set to automatically interrupt the bootup process (primary drive), so it immediately goes to the install screen. Regardless as to whether I choose expert or regular install, it proceeds normally. First, it asks the standard "what are you using" questions: language, keyboard layout, etc. Asks for the Install vs. Upgrade question. I choose install. Asks if the data is on the CD or Hard Drive. On the CD. Asks if I have any SCSI adaptors. No. Says it will scan/setup the hard drive for installation, gives the option of using Disk Druid or Fdisk. Both Disk Druid and Fdisk give the same response: no hard drive detected, check your hardware configuration. I can get to the menu and setup everything else, but it won't detect the hard drive to complete the actual installation. Have to ctrl-alt-delete to get out eject the disk. Any thoughts out there?
