Re: [newbie] Ugly display with KMail composer msgs.

Yet my messages while typed, and in my Sent folder, look just fine ... But the receiver's copy is always a formatting disaster ... At first I thought it might be something related to word-wrap, but it's set at 78, so that should be fine ... I tried reducing it to 70 but still got the same results ... I didn't notice anything else in the Configure KMail options to remedy this ... Any/all suggestions as to how to fix this will be greatly appreciated!

Once you have loaded this, then you can type the command 'su'. This will ask you for a password. Type in you root password that you made when you installed Mandrake. Then, you can type 'urpmi program name' which will install the program, if it is in the urpmi database. Or, if you've downloaded an RPM from the internet, then you can type 'urpmi /path/to/downloadedRPM' which will install it. HTH, John Drouhard Oh, I see. So 'urmpi' is actually a command line tool that can only be executed by root. Is that correct? At least it works that way on my system. Thanks for the help, John.

[newbie] Problems installing libstdc++ library?
Hello Folks, First off, I'm running the latest and greatest Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official. I seem to be experiencing difficulty getting a library installed in /usr/lib. I downloaded AIM 1.5 for Linux and I cannot install it because I have an older libstdc++ libary in /usr/lib. When I try to install the AIM RPM package, I get a message saying this: aim-1.5.286-1.i386 cannot be installed due to unsatisfied libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2). Apparently I have an older version of this library. I tried downloading this version of the library and the system refuses to let me download directly to /usr/lib saying access is denied. What can I do about this and how do I get the new library installed? Please help. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I didn't realize that there were other instant messaging programs that were far better. I am now using Gaim and am very happy with it. And how would I use urpmi? Again, thanks for pointing a few things out.

Use URPMI to install software If you try to install RPM packages built for other distros you will *very Quickly* fall into dependency hell. Virtually any package you might be interested in is available as a Mandrake Linux RPM package installable using urpmi. Urpmi sorts out all these dependency issues for you. To learn about urpmi read the section on the Twiki in my signature. urpmi uses software repositories where you can download literally thousands of packages. As it happens AIM is not one of them. One reason AIM is not available as a Mandrake package is because compared to other alternatives it is shite. If you want AOL instant messenger compatibility install gaim or kopete using your Software install GUI. They are miles better than AIM. If you try to get around the dependency issue by trying to upgrade libstdc you will almost certainly break your system. (I have been there.

Re: [newbie] Problems installing libstdc++ library?
Another interesting thing is this: executing grep urpmi gives me nothing. I don't think it's actually installed on my system. What then?

[newbie] Unassign IP address? Need help with setup of Verizon DSL
Dual-booting between Windows XP Home and... MandrakeLinux 9.0 Kernel 2.4. + KDE 3.0 How do I unassign an IP address that was assigned to my LAN adapter? I am trying to configure my DSL setup with my network card but I just can't do it. I have tried everything. I have downloaded RP-PPPOE software to use as a client for my DSL modem/connection and I have tried everything, including reading the How-to-connect document of RP-PPPOE. It says that I should not assign an IP address to my network card and not to configure it to come up at boot time. How do I unassign an IP address and how do I change the configuration so that the network card doesn't come up at boot time? Is there any other Verizon DSL users around there that have succeeded?? If so, please help me!!! Thanks, Jason Wilson Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
