Re: [newbie] Netgear FA310TX card in Mandrake 7.1
What is the "tulip" driver? I didn't see anything like that in DrakConf. Is it somewhere else? Dan LaBine wrote: Use the "tulip" drivers that come with Mandrake. They work perfectly with that exact card. I'm running 3 of them on my lan with no problems whatsoever. - Original Message - From: "David Lay" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2000 3:06 PM Subject: [newbie] Netgear FA310TX card in Mandrake 7.1 I'm having trouble installing the drivers for my Netgear FA310TX card.

Re: [newbie] HELP! Linux stole my windows partition!!! (Thank Yous)
First of all (IN DEFENSE OF MYSELF): I would just like to say that I am new to the world of Linux. I haven't even heard the word until I started college 4 years ago. This is now my second month of actually using the OS. I am moving over from Windows because I am sick of being ripped off for something that is garbage. I read a lot before deciding to try Linux and I read the so-called "Installation and User's Guide" that only shows how to do an automatic install, and other installation run-throughs I found on the web. Thus said, I AM A NEWBIE. I signed up to this list to get some help and make this transition a little easier. I read as much about new commands and programs I use before trying them out. I did not see anywhere in any other sort of report a section titled "What To Do If thePartition You Were Looking at Under Linux Is No Longer Recognized by Windows". Thus, I wrote my situation to you all to see if there were any expert advise. I did get some very good advise from those at the bottom of this letter, but I did also get a lot of criticism for not knowing in advance the answers to my questions. Really, if I was at that level, I would no longer be a member of this mailing list, would I? Bottom Line: Scandisk was not aware of the missing partition, so it could not fix it. DOS fdisk recognized the partition as NON-DOS cfdisk recognized the partition as WIN 95 FAT32 Norton SystemWorks also could not fix it, although it did see it as a "root partition" Again: I have 2hard drives. One has 2 Windows partitions. The other has Linux Mandrake installed. They are completely seperate. Ther is no way my installation could have been at fault because windows worrked fine after installation. This happened weeks later. I think that Doug McGarrett was right and somehow the supermount option was to blame. I upgraded my install without this option, copied the buggy partition to Linux, reformated using DOS fdisk and dumped everything back in. It worked and no information was lost. I would really like to thank the following people for giving me genuine support onfinding a solution: 1) Mark Weaver 2) Doug McGarrett 3) Goldenpi 4) Paul 5) Ed Tharp Your help was greatly appreciated.

[newbie] Sound Blaster Live
I have been trying to install SB Live for some time now and can't seem to get it to work. I have followed the instructions provided with the emu10k1 drivers and have also used the instructions at linuxnewbie.org. After installing the drivers and probing I get an "error stating that the reference in the /misc/ folder is more recent than the file in the modules folder. (or vice versa). I also get an error saying that there is "no such device" for /dev/dsp0. When I was trying out mandrake, everything worked out and now, After buying the deluxe pack and installing everything, it won't.
RE: [newbie] I made a mistake
Try doing an c:fdisk /mbr after booting your system into DOS with your Windows Startup disk. -Original Message- From: Liangyu Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 02, 2000 1:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] I made a mistake Hi, I installed Mandrake 7.1 under windows 98 and after installation, Grub provided a menu to choose operating system, Linux and windows. It worked well. Later, I wanted to set windows to be default OS, So in DrakeConf-DrakeBoot, I set the boot device from hda to hda1. Now I know I should not set in this way, but I got a problem: The machine can only start linux, not windows even though the windows option is still in the Grub menu and even though I set the boot device back to hda. I am quite new to the Linux world and don't know how to get windows back, Could someone help me out? Liangyu
[newbie] Booting Windows with LILO
I sent this yesterday, but have not seen it posted, so I'l try again: Hello, I am running Mandrake 7.1 on a Tyan Tiger 133 Dual Pentium III MB with one 800EB PIII Porcessor, 128 MB RAM, Diamond Viper V770Ultra Video. I have two hard drives: one with two windows partitions and the other with Mandrake. I have tried to boot windows several times, but to no avail. I only get a "system1" message and nothing more happens. Sometimes it would say "Starting Windows 98" and nothing more would happen. Could someone please give me some advice on configuring LILO to allow me to boot to windows. I used the c:fdisk /mbr command to allow windows to boot on its own and use a Mandrake Boot Disk to boot into linux, but this gets annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thank You
