Re: [newbie] kmail filters

2001-11-13 Thread Jim Kempton

Not sure about NOT downloading, but you can filter it straight to trash.  
Take a look at the filter options, dead easy.

Re: [newbie] Carte Trident

2001-09-02 Thread Jim Kempton

Any of the recent ATI cards will work fine.  For cheapness, try the SIS range 
or the Cirrus Logics.

Your box spec is fine and Mandrake will run fine, though you could try LM8 
which installs easier and supports more hardware.

Re: [newbie] windows shared printer??

2001-08-27 Thread Jim Kempton

Can you "see" the 95 box from Mandrake?  i.e. in Network Neighbourhood?  Or 
can you ping it?  If so then then you need to tell 95 to share the printer, 
go to the printers folder and right click the printer and choose properties, 
then choose sharing and set it on.  Then, as root, in Mandrake got to control 
center and set up the printer with the right drivers but tell Mandrake it's a 
Samba shared printer attached to the 95 box, IP numbers etc.

Hope that helps

Hey all

Thanks to all who've replied, but I'm still not there.

Updated the locate database, searched again with locate sndconfig in a
console as root and searched from Konquerer as root.  sndconfig is not on
my installation, so can I get it somewhere or is there another tool I could
use?

[newbie] mount stuff

1999-12-23 Thread Jim Kempton

Hey,

Have been able to mount my primary C:\ drive as hda1, but not the other
3 which are logicals.  Fiddled round with fstab manually as root and via
the applet in Linuxconf in KDE.  Further I have have a second drive
which, on boot, Linux finds as hdb1 - no surprises there then - but my
attempts to mount it have failed.  The main drive is a 17GB and the
second a 3.2GB, no other problems running Mandrake 6.1 and Win98
together with dual boot.

any help much appreciated

TIA

Jim

[newbie] KPPP again

1999-12-13 Thread Jim Kempton

Hey

Thanks for all the responses to my recent post.  But it still won't do
it's thing.

Plugged in all the relevant DNS numbers, edited the resolve file,
changed PAP to CHAP and back again, read the Howto's looked at man
stuff, tried a different ISP with relevant numbers again etc etc.

Worked fine under Mandrake 6.0 but I did a clean install not the upgrade
:-(

any more thoughts appreciated

TIA

[newbie] KPPP

1999-12-05 Thread Jim Kempton

Hey

Running 6.1 and everything's fine.  Except Netscape - but I suspect it's
a dial up problem.  Plugged in all the relevant details to KPPP for my
'spare' Freeserve account and do the connect.  I get in and the modem
stays connected but Netscape won't find anything or give me an error
message as it would if it saw no connection.

Any help appreciated

[newbie] SIS vid cards

1999-11-23 Thread Jim Kempton

Hey,

Probably been done but

Have a SIS 6326 on board AGP 8MB vid card.

Installed and used, happily, Mandrake 6.0.

Upgraded to the boxed, shrinkwrpaaed 6.1 Powerpack and X don't like it.

Tried it both ways eg fresh install and upgrade.  The X section of the
installer comes back with the 'there's a problem with your X
configuration' stuff.

Left it there and ran 'Setup' from the shell as root and the same thing
occurs.

Running out of ideas, short of new vid card.

TIA

Jim
