[newbie] Shutting down http FAILED ... can't reboot !!

Shutting down http:FAILED


For the second time now, when shutting down Mandrake 7.0 I saw that message. 
When I try to restart, it all seems to go as expected, right up until you 
would expect the login/password box to appear; it doesn't. Instead, the num 
lock light on my keyboard flashes on and off and the monitor (screen blank) 
sounds as though it is switching on and off in sync.

All I have done is install Mandrake 7.0, PHP3 from the RPM included on the 
disk, MySQL 3.22.32 (server and client RPMs downloaded). I did all this only 
yesterday (for the second time) and today it all seams to have died. It only 
lasted about 2 weeks last time. Even my Windows'98 which runs on the same 
hard disk lasts longer!!!

Please, if anyone can help I'd be extremely grateful - I need the Linux 
operating system with Apache, PHP and MySQL (with JDBC drivers installed) 
for a major project with deadline in just 5 weeks!

I run a standalone pc with 475MHz AMD-K6 processor, 64MB RAM, 13GB hard disk 
(8GB for Windows, 5GB for Linux). Don't know name of motherboard 
(SoundBlaster 64v sound and 8MB ATI graphics on motherboard).

Many thanks,

Re: [newbie] Using Mandrake's GUI install components after install?

2000-08-03 Thread Hadrian Oliver

Alan,

Which version of DiskDrake do you have? And does it work well? The
version I have is the one that came with Mandrake 7.0 originally, and
it trashes everything on the hard drive (except the partitions!) when I use 
it.

  During Mandrake's install, there was a nice GUI tool for creating 
partitions

  partitions instead of fdisk?  If not, is there another gui tool that can 
be
  used?

Jeffpress alt-f2 and in the resulting command window type
'kdesu -c drakxconf'.  After verifying root access with root's
password a small list window will open where you can choose
diskdrake from the options.
