[newbie] need help adding external modem to mandrake 8
Greetings. I guess it should be obvious how to do this, but I'm not finding the right place to read my Mandrake 8 box has a built-in Winmodem (which Mandrake detects but cannot configure), and rather than mess with configuring a winmodem, I'd rather just add an external modem to the available serial port. What do I need to do in order to set up the modem, get the system to recognize it, etc.? (My ultimate goal, once the modem is found, is to configure Hylafax to work with it to create a fax server.) I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but I'm at a loss as to where to begin. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks. Kenn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] file system accessible by windows and linux
Greetings Well, my xmas gift to myself -- a new laptop -- arrived via FedEx yesterday, and I've successfully created a dual boot with windows and linux ... now that i know i can do that, today's task is to reinstall linux, this time changing the partitioning ... i need to have one small partition (500Mb) that can be accessed by either windows or linux (the reason being that, as much as i had to admit it, i can't find a web page design program that i like as well as Dreamweaver). what file system should i choose? and how do i make it accessible by windows? thanks in advance for the help, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone ... kennM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] file system accessible by windows and linux
Thanks so much, Mike ... as it turns out, everything was ALREADY configured exactly as you described, so the windows partition was already available, i just wasn't smart enough to know it ... i'm going back to study the manual some more :-) thanks again for your help. kennM - Original Message - From: Michael Scottaline [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2001 7:24 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] file system accessible by windows and linux On Sun, 23 Dec 2001 17:55:05 -0600 kenn yahoo [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribbled in frustration: thanks, derek, and you, too, mike and ed ... please excuse the newbieness of this question, but how do i mount the windows partition? i've read the man pages and info pages for the mount command but i still don't quite get it ... and how do i view what partitions are AVAILABLE for mounting? = Partitions available for mounting can be found in the file /etc/fstab. You can open that (even as an ordinary user) in just about any text editor, or in a terminal, just type cat /etc/fstab w/o the quotes. If there is not a line for your windows partition, you'll need to add one as root.. Something like: /dev/hdax /mnt/win98 vfat user,noauto 0 0 The x above represents the partition number of your windows drive (quite possibly hda1). You'll need to creat a directory in /mnt for windows, if it doesn't already exist. In a terminal, su to root, then type cd /mnt (w/o quotes)That should bring you to your /mnt directory. Now type mkdir win (or win98, or whatever). Once you've edited /etc/fstab, and added the appropriate directory to /mnt, the all you need do is type mount /mnt/win98 (or whatever you've called it). Type umount /mnt/win98 (w/o quotes as usual) to unmount the directory. See man mount for more help. HTH, Mike _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] problems creating floppy installation disks
I've downloaded the three ISO images for MandrakeLinux 8.1, created CDs, and successfully installed Mandrake on a desktop PC (so i can assume that there's no problem with the CD itself) but now I want to attempt an installation on an old Compaq Amada laptop I dragged out of the closet I cannot boot from the CD (in part because I no longer have the manual for this notebook, I can't get any of the normal key commands to work to access the Setup during boot) so I'm stuck with trying to boot from floppy ... but here's what the installation instructions say: If your computer cannot boot from the CDROM and previous methods do not work, you must make a boot floppy under Windows as follows: - insert the CDROM, then open the icon My Computer, right click on the CDROM drive icon and select Open go into the dosutils directory and double-click on the rawwritewin icon insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive select D:\images\cdrom.img in the Image File field (assuming that your CDROM drive is D:, otherwise replace D: as needed) select A: in the Floppy Drive field then click on Write. To begin the installation: --- but i've tried on two different Windows machines and can neither run rawwritewin directly from the CD nor copy it to the hard drive of the notebook ... keeps telling me that it can read it, it's invalid, etc. ... (oh, and before anyone suggests it, my newly built mandrake linux box is at the office, so i can't use it this weekend to create the floppy) ... what am i doing wrong ? can anyone help? thanks in advance, kenn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
