Re: [newbie] Junk OS
Who told you Linux would just jump into your box and start working? I don't see that in the manual anywhere (mispelled or not). I agree, windoze is far easier to install than any distro of linux, but the power of Linux is far past windoze.. I mean, I am at work, checking my mail on my Linux box through telnet. Also earlier today, I installed a new kernel, rebooted my system, and wrote a few emails, and I havent even seen my computer! I can do all this, and all I did was install the basic installation about 5 days ago... and on your SCSI drive...if you think Linux (or any OS) has "screwed up" your drive, you do need help, and you sholdn't be trying to install ANY OS.

Secound, Your book is full of inconsistantcies, you software(installation) will not even recocgnize a generic monitor. Now with all of the problems that i have encountered with "your" software, it would take about 6 months to install it if i had to wait 24 hrs. for every question to be answered. Next, If your going to sell something, it would make good sense to spell check your manual. GEEZZZ It is easy to see why Microsoft has the major part of this market. I can exit your(junk) and repair my SCSI drive(after your OS has completely screwed it up) and one hour later it is up and running(network cards and all). I guess you are wanting to know what i am getting at here. WHO DO I SEE ABOUT GETTING MY MONEY BACK? "yea right" Signed New beleaver in MS windows

I hate to say it, but the main reason I keep booting back to windows every couple hours is because the NS version that comes with Mandrake just totaly blows, and If I want to view any web pages I have got to have a decent browser. Have you tried using the browser built into KDE? kfm, I think, just put an http:// URL in the location box and hit enter. -- .*.

Joe There is a good compiling howto at www.mandrakeuser.org If you got a Mandrake RPM, just click it (as root) click install, then edit lilo with klilo. Change "kernel to boot" to your new one eg: vmlinuz-2.2.13-7mdk to vmlinuz-2.2.13-22mdk -WBD Thanks Warren for your help, I am now writing you on vmliuz-2.2.13-22mdksmp that was easier than I thought!
