Re: [newbie] Did I lose my NTFS partition?
Have you tried the ranish Partition Manager. I've never used it but I've been monitoring the e-mail supported listserv for about 3 years and it seems to get very high marks in fixing things no one else can even find. Just a thunk.

boy this is an old version,,, but it is about the same age as your box.
My first suggestion would be to try and upgrade to a more recent version.
That said, try and start over, this time instead of recomended go for

attempting to keep win on this box, first boot into windows, back up
everything, and run defrag befor attempting to install linux. study up on
how
hard drives can be partitoned in linux first too.

I had to take it out because of space restrictions, but after six or seven years of continuous operation (I got it in 1993) it was still working perfectly.

I've made some dumb mistakes but the board has been very nice. I do have to
say the on-board sound sux. It's weak and lack luster. I'd spring for an
older Sound Blaster Live Value PCI card if I were you. I don't know how
hard they are to get in Hungary though. Anyhoo, that's my experience so
far.

Subject: [newbie] AMD system question
Hi Everyone!
I'm planning to change my hardware from intel to AMD and I'd like to know
your experiences. I've seen an AMD system crash because of motherboard
problems and I do not want any problems (AND I do not want to use M$)
The configuration I chose is:
Motherboard: FastFame8VTAA(VIAKT133A,3SD,UDMA100,AGP4x,AC97Sound,ATX)
CPU: AMD K7 ThunderBird 950MHz SocketA
RAM: 256 MB SD RAM 133MHz
I think it should work fine. Does anyone know about the Motherboard?
Also: With an AMD system, which rpm packages should I use? i386, i586,
i686
(I guess not) and even if they are not optimised, will they work?
Thanx,
BAT

Re: [newbie] Can I run Mandrake on PPC Clone?
I'm not a programmer (at all) and I don't own a Mac or any knock-off there of but is the PPC Mandrake available in Source Code? If so you could compile to your systems specific needs right? It should detect and incorporate any iniquities into the compile due to you circuitry right? Or have I been watching too many Hollywood movies again. 8-[ T H A N K Y O U James R.

Re: [newbie]
Stupid question alert! Are you installing from a CDR/W drive or an old fashioned ROM drive? I've had no luck what so ever installing from my PLEXTOR 16/10/40a (ATAPI) and I've tried both LM 8.1 and RH 7.2. My cheezy/generic PINE 52x CD-ROM drive has very few troubles however. I don't know if this is even vaguely relevant but even if I could get either to install they wouldn't fully boot, they'd get to some point and seize and it would be a different point each time. Tried it with ext2 and ext3 with BOTH distros. Don't know if this helps hurts or makes no difference one way or another but anyway just in case my experiences are now on record. == Separate issue I still need help with... BTW I still haven't been able to get my PC-ZIP100 to work with either distro, it shows on the desktop[s] but I can't access it. I get something about device unmountable and that I need to specify the file system type. Mobo= Asus P3V4X revision 1.00, I'm afraid to flash it in case it hurls HDD = Old Maxtor 8 gig, UDMA 33 family, ,5400RPM spindle Ribbon Cable = 80 pin type AKA UDMA 66/100 Zip Drive = NEC PC - 100 Linux' I've tried = LM 8.1 (8.0 won't boot, gets to loading Font XServer and freezes, Red Hat 7.2 ($60 version).

Hi. I'm very new to Linux so I bought the 3 CD pack for Mandrake 8.1 expecting the installation to be pretty much trouble free. Unfortuantely, after the initial setup/ welcome screen using the boot disk and bootable CD-ROM, the setup said that it couldn't find an installation CD in the CD-ROM. The error message is as follows: I can't access a Mandrake-Linux Installation disk in your CDROM Drive. By looking in the setup log I also saw some of these messages: 4ide0: Drive 1 didn't accept speed setting, Oh well 4hdb: Status timed-out 4hdb: DMA Disabled 4hdb: drive not ready for command 4isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=3.40, iso_blknum=151339 and other stuff like this If you guys don't know of any solutions off the top of your heads then I guess I'll see if we can get it up and runing at the Installfest. Thanks. / He has a DFI motherboard with Award BIOS. bios version is current. CD rom is primary slave, HD is primary master This problem also occurs when using RedHat 7.2 and Mandrake 8.1 We tried two copies of the installmedia, so the disk wasn't bad. Demo Linux boots just fine off of the CD-Rom. / First of all, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I built the computer myself and currently I have Win 98 and Win 2K on two seperate primary partitions. Then I used PartitionMagic 5.0 to create a Linux partition. Anyway, the CD-ROM is bootable, but since I was having trouble with just booting off the CD-ROM I tried it again with a bootdisk. I think that I'm using the cdrom.img file if that is what you mean by the image file - the actual CD is from MandrakeSoft. Also, windows has no trouble booting from the CD-ROM. I got an email from Eric Sandall and I asked him what the situation is with getting rides to the Installfest and what all peripherials we need to bring. I can bring my Mandrake 8.1 CD's, but do I need to bring anything else besides my tower (i.e. monitor, keyboard, mouse)? Anyway, thanks for the help.

Re: [newbie] What is Winbond?
Winbond is the chipset on alot of different add-in boards. Printer ports usually have them along with some sound cards and 3rd party Hard-Drive controller cards(I think SIIG uses them). Don't worry you don't have to use Wynderz in order to use the device or card. Basically that Winbond message is says yea, this thing is working fine, unless you see it followed by a red [FAILED] over on the right side of the screen or some arcane cryptic spew that looks alot like the stuff your printer spits out when not set up properly. Hope this was helpful. T H A N K Y O U James R. McKenzie [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Ronald J.
