[newbie] What prevents me from moving to Suse92
Dear all, I don't want to start a flame war, but I just want you to know, that there is ONE thing that prevents me from moving to Suse92. As you know, I've dualbooted my notebook with Suse92 now. And actually I like it very much. You can say that it's kind of Ahhh.. Woooww.. However, after a couple of weeks of observation, there is one thing that keeps me using Mdk, that is THIS LIST. Sure, I've joined the Suse's list too, but, the feelings aren't just the same. I guess I've helplessly given my loyalty to Mdk. :) P.S. The KDE3.4 on mdk10.1 also contributes to it. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 00:12:28 up 3:44, Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Fwd: [linux-aktivis] [JOKE] The Creation (Microsoft Style)
The Creation (Microsoft Style) 1. In the beginning GOD created the Bit and the Byte. And from those he created the Word. 2. And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else existed. And God separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good. 3. And God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. And God said - Let the Data go to their proper places. And he created floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. 4. And God said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to put floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. Thus God created computers and called them hardware. 5. And there was no Software yet. But God created programs; small and big. And told them - Go and multiply yourselves and fill all the Memory. 6. And God said - I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer will make new programs and govern over the computers and programs and Data. 7. And God created the Programmer; and put him at Data Center; And God showed the Programmer the Catalog Tree and said You can use all the volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows. 8. And God said - It is not Good for the programmer to be alone. He took a bone from the Programmer's body and created a creature that would look up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer; and love the things the Programmer does; And God called the creature: the User. 9. And the Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it was Good. 10. But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of God. And Bill said to the User - Did God really tell you not to run any programs ? 11. And the User answered - God told us that we can use every program and every piece of Data but told us not to run Windows or we will die. 12. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about something you did not even try. The moment you run Windows you will become equal to God. You will be able to create anything you like by a simple click of your mouse. 13. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were nicer and easier to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless - since Windows could replace it. 14. So the User installed the Windows on his computer; and said to the Programmers that it was good. 15. And the Programmer immediately started to look for new drivers. And God asked him - What are you looking for? And the Programmer answered - I am looking for new drivers because I can not find them in the DOS. And God said - Who said you need drivers? Did you run Windows? And the Programmer said - It was Bill who told us to ! 16. And God said to Bill - Because of what you did you will be hated by all the creatures. And the User will always be unhappy with you. And you will always sell Windows. 17. And God said to the User - Because of what you did, the Windows will disappoint you and eat up all your Resources; and you will have to use lousy programs; and you will always rely on the Programmer's help. 18. And God said to the Programmer - Because you listened to the User you will never be happy. All your programs will have errors and you will have to fix them and fix them to the end of time. 19. And God threw them out of the Data Center and locked the door and secured it with a password. 20.

On Thursday 10 March 2005 01:13 am, Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote: I tried it first, but lilo complained about 'no root partition found' Let me guess - the second copy of lilo is the one that complained, right? If so, check your /etc/lilo.conf in Suse, and make sure it is correct. Make sure you run lilo in Suse after you make any changes in that copy of the config file. The thing you have to remember here is that you will be using two separate lilo installs to boot Suse. The version from Mandrake handles booting Mandrake, and Windows. To boot Suse, it will hand control over to the Suse lilo install, and it will handle booting Suse. No, the one that complained is Mdk's lilo. That's why then I googled and found the way to 'load' Suse's lilo from Mdk by mounting the partition in Mdk. As far as the Mandrake version of lilo knows, it could be booting any OS when it uses the other=/dev/hda10 entry. Yes, that is why. I am surprised it even boots. If the old version of the kernel and initial RAM disk were removed as part of the upgrade, then the only reason it still boots is that the space they use on the disk has not been overwritten by new data. The thing you have to understand about lilo is that it is really two separate parts. The part you run from Linux understands the file system, and configures things for the part that actually boots the system. The part that boots the system does not understand the file system. All it know is where the information it wants is located on the disk. You gave it this information when you ran lilo in Linux. But if you make changes, you have to run lilo again, to update this information. With the normal setup, this is not a problem. The package managers in both Suse and Mandrake take care of running lilo for you when you update the kernel. But, because you are using the Mandrake copy of lilo to boot Suse, Yast updates the wrong version of lilo. Mandrake does not take care of it, because it has no idea that you updated the kernel in Suse. So you have to do it manually. I would spend the time getting the version of lilo on /dev/hda10 working, and using the other=/dev/hda10 option to boot Suse. Or I would consider changing Mandrake to use Grub instead of Lilo. Grub does understand file systems, so it would handle the kernel changing in Suse better. You would still have to make sure and update the grub config files when you change kernels, but at least if would warn you when you break things. Now, if you want a real challenge, install one of the other boot manages on the MBR, change Mandrake lilo so it installs to your root partition instead of the MBR, and let the boot manager give you a menu for Mandrake, Suse, or Windows. There are several options for free boot managers on freshmeat, or you could go with something like System Commander. Mikkel Thank you so much for the very detail explanation Mikkel. I really appreaciate it. Your explanation opens up a new understanding for me on Linux bootloader.

Re: [newbie] New HP laptop with NTFS Partition and trying to dual boot
On Thursday 10 March 2005 07:13 pm, Mr. Geek wrote: However, if your hard drive is already partitioned, they only use which ever partition is first on the drive. The nice thing is that the restore or full install methods won't do anything to your Master Boot Record, since Windows detects that the Master Boot Record is already in use. Lilo is already installed there. That means that the next time you boot the laptop, Lilo will still be there, and will only show you the Mandrake-Linux option. Yes, I experimented with my Acer TM802 too (I had to reinstall and format the drive several time cause of mistakes). Not every recovery CD will allow you to resize the partition though. In case of Acer, they allow it, so it makes thing easier. And it will not destroy the Lilo. Lol, I once wanted to send my notebook to the service center, but afraid that the guarantee would be void if they know I installed linux. No problem. That's exactly what should be there. Once you've booted back into Linux, start up your Mandrake Control Center (a.k.a. MCC), and add the 10Gb Windows partition by creating a mount point for it. You're not obligated to use the Mandrake default mount-point, so feel free to be creative. Just don't mount it inside the /root home folder! Windows will not format the remaining space as FAT32. But Mandrake will! Leave it to Linux to solve a Microsoft problem! LOL! Yes, linux is certainly very friendly :) By using Linux to format your remaining space as FAT32, you'll be able to access it from Mandrake AND from Windows without any problems. Once that's partitioned, formatted and mounted in MCC, remember to update Lilo as well. That way, Windows will be added to your boot list in Lilo. This is a good practice indeed. I have my D drive in windows as FAT32. Thanks Mr. Geek.

[newbie] Installing Linux on extended partition (logical drive)
Hi all, For those of you who are interested in installing Linux on extended partition (or in MS terms we call it logical drive), I've successfully do it on installing Suse92 on hda10, where there is already MS Windows, and Mandrake. Here's the brief steps: 1. Install Windows (with 2 partitions in my case) 2. Install Mandrake on its own partition (with 5 partitions in my case, with 1 partition I call /data -- hda10) 3. Install Suse92 on /data. This is the caveat: -- choose LILO (you can use grub too, but I don't know yet the syntax), -- install LILO on the root partition of /hda10, -- format hda10 with any filesystem as long as Mandrake can read it. Suse will reboot once we finish the first installation step. 4. When rebooted, go into Mandrake. Modify /etc/lilo.conf with this: image=/data/boot/vmlinuz label=Suse92 root=/dev/hda10 initrd= /data/boot/initrd vga=788 read-only Modify the above lines that suits your environment. Run lilo -v to see if there's any error. If there isn't, you good to go. Reboot. You will see in the LILO menu that there's Suse92 entry. Choose it, and Voila! You've got Suse92! You dont even bother to create swap partition, Suse will use the swap from Mandrake.

When the boot loader screen shows up, press esc, and type that line. append = parport=0x378,7 Continue booting.

There are others on this list that are far more familiar with iptables and shorewall than I. Regards, Dan Gordon Yes shorewall is a good one. I appreciate Mandrake includes it. A little confusing at first, but once we read the tutorial, it's not that hard to setup. And Tom Eastep - the writer - is very active in the shorewall list. However, don't be offended by his sharp words though (especially when he knows we use mandrake) :) He's actually a very nice person, really :) His sharp words come because he's also a good writer on the documentation, so our problem regarding shorewall mostly has been covered in it. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux2.arinet.org 07:05:32 up 25 min, Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Mission impossible - almost
Thanks Stephen, you're very kind :) Well, I think later I should start looking for another career somewhere else. The reason why the installation cannot start right away, because many important parameter in the system is still in the decision-process making by the bosses. I'm so pissed off, because they have the time and should make all those decisions months ago. Remember last year, I got hepatitis? It was because the bossess made a decision to develop a new system in just one month! Why oh why they knew that sooner or later we must make a new system because of staff change, but they delayed the decision until the last moment.

[newbie] How is doing this? Firefox won't be default browser
Hi all, This is really got me into my nerve. I've made Firefox 1.0 as my default browser using KDE menu File Association txt html, and use %U in the application command so that it can open url correctly from Kmail. But, every time I run Firefox, it always asks whether it wanted to be default browser, I answer Yes everytime. The problem occurs when somehow I open Konqueror to browse local file, etc... This WILL BROKE the %U option, thus Firefox won't open url from Kmail correctly. Can I make the %U permanent? Does KDE refuse to let us kill it's konqueror as default browser?
