Re: [newbie]Linux Isp
I came across this back when I was doing dialup with Slackware. I switched over to ADSL just before I started using Mandrake, so I am not sure if their help is terribly useful. It is from my old ISP. They claim that they don't support Linux, but maybe the documentation could help someone. http://www.comnet.ca/support/connections/linux.shtml jenn
[newbie] Setting up a new user account remotely
Hi, I was wondering how one goes about creating a new account from the console with Mandrake 7.2 (probably other versions as well). On Slackware, which is what I have my server on, it is easy, I just type adduser and answer the questions. With Mandrake it seems more complex. if I could figure that one out, I would convert it over to Mandrake as well. Jenn
RE: [newbie] Word doc reader in linux?
You will find that abiword, which comes with 7.1 and 7.2 is pretty good too.

RE: [newbie] Word doc reader in linux?
Yes, I used abi to read and edit word files. One feature it lacks that I do miss are the styles. If you are merely reading, it should not be a concern.

[newbie] emailing the ifconfig file
I seem to use my computer as much remotely as I do locally. In addition, I use PPPoE to run my internet connection and there are times when it gets wonky. I was just wondering if there was a perl script or something out there that I could set in my crontab to mail me me ifconfig file every 15 minutes or so to tell me what my ip is. I also use a dynamic dns service dnsq.org, but if let's say my hotmail account got these messages, then I would know then network connection was okay. Will puting a .forward in my /root directory do the trick? Thanks jenn
Re: [newbie] Hard drive not found?
Someone may be able to answer this better than me, but I believe that linux must start in the first 4000 blocks, or maybe it's the first 4 gigs of a hard drive in order to boot. I ran into this problem myself when I tried to get win98 and slackware to share a large hard drive.

I have a hard drive where 20 out of 30Gb are used for Windows, which is working just fine. I have saved the remaining unpartitioned 10Gb for Linux. When I try to install 7.2 however, I get the following message when I reach the point in the installation program where I'm supposed to partition the hard drive and set up the filesystem: "An error has occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the couse of this problem". And then I can't do anything else than just exit the install. I've tried to boot directly from the CD, from a boot disk, I've tried to run text mode install and in expert mode, but nothing works.
