[newbie] Upgrading Communictor!
Has anybody had any joy in updating Communicator 4.7 to 4.72 with Mandrake 7? I'm using a tarball straight from Netscape's FTP servers, is there a RPM that will upgrade 4.7 successfully? -- Jayce Steadman (on the Linux Box) [FGC]_G3N3R1C ICQ# 63558908 http://www.g3n3r1c.cwc.net/

You'll need to look at both of them to find what you want. If you want to update Netscape, make sure you get all the packages: common, navigator and communicator. Mike Sorted it now m8, thanks to all that helped. Had to download the three RPM's, the Communicator one, The Navigator one and the Common Files one. Had to do a --force --nodeps on the Common Files RPM to overwrite the 4.7 files, and then I installed the Navigator and Communicator RPM's and it fired straight up!

I'm running Mandrake 6.0 with crummy graphics, Windows 98 second edition and Windows 2000 release candidate 1 with 1280 by 1024 by 24 bit graphics and I haven't seen a bsod in months. I'm running on a celeron 400 with 128M of ram and 20G of disk space. Haven't frozen up or crashed in that many months either. In as much as I'm willing to learn Linux/Unix, you guys need to get out of the Windows 95/Windows 3.1 syndrome. Windows has grown up lately and it's obviously passed you by. Ooops, I take that back. The machine has frozen up a couple of times trying to get my version of Red Hat to give me better graphics. . Visit http://www.msn.com I made the move after 2 years of Hardcore gaming with Win95/98. As soon as I heard that I could play Q1/Q2/Q3 on Linux, I moved over.. I've been running Mandrake now for just over 2 weeks, and I have my Banshee and Soundblaster Live working perfectly, Netscape is stable and I have no need what so ever to use a Microsoft OS any more. Quake III looks better on Linux (Q3 compatible Banshee drivers for Win 95/98/NT are dreadful and unstable) and the steep learning curve is just what I needed to add a little more interest into my life. Unreal Tournament is gonna be released for Linux, Kingpin ports are in beta stage and Tribes 2 is gonna be ported so I figure that by the time Linux really takes off (I reckon another year or two) then I will be a newbie no more! I think now is the perfect time to get into Linux so that when the masses decide to give it a try, we can just all sit back, relax and praise ourselves for taking it up when we did :-) -- | Executive level IT Consultancy/Training | |[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Trade price Electronic and Networking Equipment | |[EMAIL PROTECTED]|

The modules do not seem to like kernel 2.2.9-19mdk at all, and so I went into etc/lilo config and changed the boot kernel to 2.2.9-19mkd, and then I ran /Sbin/lilo and hay presto! The sound works!

I have followed your instructions and I am happy to say that I can no listen to audio CD's no probs. However, I can't get any system sounds (wav's etc). The problem is that I cannot find the Sound Blaster Live in Sndconfig, and to be honest I don't know if I need to use sndconfig, and if I do, how to use it :-) Any help would be appreciated, Quake refuses to run without sound :-) -- --Powered by Linux Mandrake-- Jayce Steadman ICQ:- 40694192
