However the download Mandrake sites do not come with 9 or 10. I have the non-RPM .11 kernel. I have done the make dep; make clean; make bzImage. But whenever I boot up Mandrake, it always says that it is using 2.2.9. How can I make sure? Is there something missing in my compilation (perhaps something I should do with lilo?)? regards, Foo Ji-Haw Berkom raum 6067 extension 3150 - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 1999 12:06 PM Subject: Welcome to newbie -- Welcome to the newbie mailing list!

Re: [newbie] True type fonts
Sorry, I missed previous messages about fonts. Can I use windooze (.ttf) fonts? If I can, then how? I could not find this utility (mkttfdir)... Where I can look for it?

Just copy them to the ttfonts directory and run mkttfdir. LLaP bero
Re: [newbie] dual boot with lilo problem
1. Reinstall linux, putting the boot stuff on the win95 hard drive. Change this drive to the master. 2. All the rest of linux goes on its own hard drive which becomes the slave. So, tell me somebody, will this work? I will do it when I get a copy of Linux Mandrake 6.0. adios, STeve W _ Do You Yahoo!? Free instant messaging and more at http://messenger.yahoo.com Sounds like your lilo.conf is trying to start Win95 from floppy drive? First of all install Win95(98), then Linux. When installing Linux tell to lilo that it should be installed on master boot record (meaning on the same disk as win95(98).) BTW Every time you running Win setup, you have to rerun lilo, because setup rewrites all the stuff! There is no difference between slave and master. That's a physical separation for BIOS. For Linux it all depends on lilo configuration. Right now have a look on lilo.conf (/etc/lilo.conf). There should be under Linux booting part like: hdb/boot/vmlinuz or something. If so, your Win partition resides on hda partition. So you have to change it properly... and then run just ./lilo from command line Kalju Rtli Webmaster Prnu Town Government Board of Development +37 244 313 34 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Somebody told me to get a life Where I can download that?
