Hi, We just started some electronics courses at our university and we are learning about basic electronic components and connecting them into circuits.

[newbie] Encoding in KDM
Hi, I'm using Mandrake 9.1 with UTF-8 encoding in locale settings (/etc/sysconfig/i18l). All is working OK in UserDrake and even in KUser. But on KDM screen when loging in some of local characters in usernames are displayed wrong. There are two strange letters instead of on local letter.

Re: [newbie] LM9.0 & CDROM Problems
Sevatio wrote: I know of the manual way of doing it in a text environment via superuser login. Is there another more friendly and short way of manually mounting this? I'm thinking in terms of ease of use for the average windows user that I setup linux boxes for. In KDE you can create CDROM icons on desktop and set its properties correctly. Then if you double click on CDROM icon it will automatically mount CDROM and if you right click on icon and select eject it will unmount it and eject it. I'm really surprised that after all these versions, Mandrake still hasn't quite figured this out. We all are.
