I don't know.  AFAIK, when I am about to install SNF in my old Intel Pentium 166 at 
32MB RAM using BTC 40x IDE CD-ROM drive it asked what modules shall I use for my 
CD-ROM drive?  Also, the GUI installation is very poor and very slow.

Thanks in advance.

I tried installing Mandrake SNF before but it doesn't support my old Intel Pentium

Yeah, I know that.  But basically, if I succeed in installing my new kernel-2.4.18 
over my default kernel-2.4.8 of Mandrake 8.1, it would also be called an "upgrade" 
'cause I won't use my old kernel anymore.

Going back with my problem, anybody knows how to upgrade a newer kernel version using 
XFS (/usr, /home, /etc, /opt, etc...) and ext2 (/boot and /) filesystems and would you 
mind to give me your "how-to's"?

Hello Linux gurus,

I've been trying to upgrade my default kernel-2.4.8 of my Mandrake 8.1 to a newer 
version but with no luck.  I don't know what's the matter that everytime I installed a

/opt, etc. and ext2 for my /boot and / partitions.

Anybody knows how to upgrade a newer kernel version using XFS and ext2 filesystems and

[newbie] Error messages during shutting down

[Mandrake Newbie]

Hello everybody!  =)

I'm currently using Mandrake 8.1 on Asus CUVR4X-C motherboard, Intel Pentium III 800 
Mhz, 384 MB SDRAM and 20 GB Seagate Barraccuda 7200 RPM hard disk drive.

My problem started when I successfully installed kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm in 
my Mandrake 8.1 system.  As most (if not all) of you know, Mandrake 8.1 has a default 
kernel version of 2.4.8.  Basically, I did upgrade my default kernel.  I installed my 
new kernel version using the command of:

# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

Also, my partitions and filesystems are:

/boot - ext2fs
/usr  - XFS
/home - XFS
/opt  - XFS
/var  - XFS
swap
/ - ext2fs

...and I also add lines in my LILO for my new kernel to boot-up.

Actually, I am encountering error messages during shutting down my system.  Below are 
the error messages that are displayed during shutdown:

/etc/rc0.d/S01halt:  line -76: 5401  segmentation fault  $*

What does the error messages mean?  How will I get over it?

So far, I haven't encountered any problems yet using my new kernel 2.4.16.9 installed 
except for the error messages during shutting down.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[newbie] Upgrading kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm problem

[Mandrake Newbie]

Hello, gurus!

I am using Mandrake 8.1 and I just downloaded the kernel-2.4.13-12mdk.i586.rpm and 
iptables-1.2.4-2mdk.i586.rpm available in the speakeasy.rpmfind.net site.  I tried to 
install the new kernel and iptables using the commands of:

and

# rpm -Uvh iptables-1.2.4-2mdk.i586.rpm

and vice versa but I wasn't able to install those packages.  It depends to one 
another.  So I decided to open my kongueror browser and click the kernel first and 
automatically installed it using RPM Software Manager.  And I was asked if I'll 
forcely install it and I clicked the YES button.  And when it was successfully 
installed, I also clicked to install the iptables package.

After I successfully installed the two packages, I reboot my system.  And it all 
started my problem.  I wasn't able to enter my Mandrake system.  What shall I do?  
Please help me...

[newbie] Problem in Changing to Single User Mode (runlevel 1)

[Mandrake Newbie]

Hello, gurus!

I was trying to change from my default runlevel 5 to single user mode (runlevel 1) 
using the command of:

# telinit 1

but I think, I hanged up.  What could be the problem with this?

I am using Mandrake 8.1, default kernel 2.4.8.

BTW, I am planning to upgrade to kernel 2.4.13 (mdk.rpm) from speakeasy.rpmfind.net.  
How do I upgrade on this?  Do I still have to change from my default runlevel 5 to 
single user mode (runlevel 1)?  What is more appropriate rpm command in upgrading my 
2.4.8 to 2.4.13 kernel, the rpm -ivh  or rpm -Uvh ?  If 
I'll issue the command of:

# rpm -ivh or -Uvh 

do I still need to configure or something or it will automatically set up?

Thanks for your help.

God bless you...

That's actually a good suggestion but I don't think they will.  Those packages that 
you mentioned are not "Open Source" and basically, I don't think Sun, Borland, etc. 
will just permit Mandrake without this so-called "partnership".  Just like what Suse 
and Oracle did.


>Many of the tools presented above are open source or

I don't think so.  As I've mentioned, those softwares are NOT Open Source, AFAIK.  
Besides, as what I've said, it is not that easy to include those softwares in their 
(Mandrake) next version 'cause it needs the permission of the companies' concerned.  
If that's the case, Mandrake should include StarOffice also or probably OpenOffice.

/usr/share/xine/lib

I ./configure, make, make install successfully on my lib but when I start to make my

You don't need to convert your Win boxes to Linux.

I assumed that your Win and Linux boxes are well-configured on their individual IP 
addresses.  In short they communicate each other.  You just need to install NFS, 
Samba, OpenSSH to your Linux box and Putty to your Win boxes.

[newbie] Speedcom+ 56kbps internal fax/modem Conexant Chipset problem

[Mandrake Newbie]

Hello, everybody!  =)

I just subscribe to this mailing list hoping that you could help me with my problem.  
I just installed my first Linux Mandrake 8.1 dual booted with M$ Windows 98 last 2 
weeks ago.  I bought a Speedcom+ 56kbps PCI internal fax/modem Conexant Chipset and 
I'm just wondering why I can't connect to the Internet.

Please help me with my problem.  I hope you can give me a step by step instruction or 
a how-to of this problem.

Thank you very much.

More power to you!  =)
