Re: [newbie] I need to choose from a multiple network profiles ata booting my MDK9. HOW?
Ok Derek, I will proceed with your advises about Cooker`s softwares. Suppose that I develop 3 profiles with "Network Connect GUI" of Mdk9 as you sad : 1=Home / 2=Office-A / 3=Office-B. My big doubt is how can I inform (setting up) some of them at boot (login) time ? I need to power-on my Notebook, waiting for loading OS and than, at Login fase, I need to define that my environment (network settings) will be X, or Y or Z. Understood ? Is there a way to do this?

Visite http://www.bsb.netium.com.br/servicos/antispam Installing Cooker packages is likely to cause problems, unless you are know what you are doing, and should be avoided. If you want to define multiple profiles you can do that quite easily in Mandrake 9.0 using the Network Connect GUI. If you want to select a profile you can do that using the /usr/sbin/net_monitor application which is the same as the 'Internet' GUI on your desktop. If you want to use net_monitor without having to give root password you can read how to do that here http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/dialup.html derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Who can help me with a driver (compilation) Instalation ?
My notebook (Toshiba 1605 CDS / 160 Mb-RAM / 10 Gb-HD) has a ASIX AX88190
Fast Ehternet card (pcmcia card).
After going to Asix Corp web site I got the linux driver for it. The package
is composed by :
8390.c - C program file;
CONFIG - something like /etc/pcmcia/config file;
gen1 - script file
gen2 - script file
pcnet_cs.c - C program file;
readme.txt - explanations text file
I would like that read the README.TXT file to help me in interpret it for
a mandrake way (directories or commands) to get this instalation (compilation).
= readme.txt =
AX88190 LINUX DRIVER INSTALL
Note: this driver for linux 2.2.x
1. copy driver to /asix
# mcopy a:/* /asix
* ok I made this in a known place
!
2. download pcmcia-cs-3.1.8.tar.gz from hyper.stanford.edu
read PCMCIA-HOWTO file install it
# mcopy pcmcia-cs-3.1.8.tar.gz /usr/src/linux
# tar zxvf pcmcia-cs-3.1.8.tar.gz
# cd /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8
# make config
# make all; make install
* I find that this is not necessary
in time that in / usr/src/linux exists the pcmcia package
3. add the following lines into /etc/pcmcia/config
card "ASIX AX88190 Based Fast Ethernet PCMCIA Card"
version "ASIX", "AX88190"
bind "pcnet_cs"
* ASIX: Manufacture ID in CIS
* AX88190: Product ID in CIS
*I do this
4. you can copy pcnet_cs.c from /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.8/clients/ to /
* I don't understand this in
any way
5. please check pcnet_cs.c has the following lines:
static hw_info_t hw_info[]={
.
.
{ /* ASIX AX88190 */ 0x0400, 0x88, 0x19, 0x00, 0 },
.
.
}
PS.0x0400 : The Node Address location
0x88, 0x19, 0x00 : Node Address
* in which file I must do this:
in that one supplied or that existing in
/ usr/src/linux/pcmcia... /clients ?
6.# cd /asix
# chmod +x gen1 gen2
* ok
7.# gen1
# gen2
*
in any one of them, had happened many errors (file not found)
8.# reboot
= gen1 gen2
gen1
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux -I/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.29/clients
-c -O6 pcnet_cs.c
cp pcnet_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o
* I had adapted this to my mdk
8.1 but didn't functioning
gen2
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux -I/usr/src/linux/drivers/net -c
-O6 8390.c
cp 8390.o /lib/modules/2.0.30/net/8390.o

WHAT IS WRONG ?
WHAT CAN I DO ?
thanks in advance.

[newbie] PCMCIA ETHERNET CARD
My MDK8.1 have informed me that may ehternet card (pcmcia) is an Asix AX88190 Fast Ehternet card. I have MDK installed on toshiba notebook. After going to Asix Corp web site I got the linux driver for it. The package consists on 2 scripts, readme.txt, pcnet_cs.c (C source file) and other crazy file. The readme.txt is very strange to a Linux newbie, and (in realy) I don't know what to do with these files. I suppose that after compiling something, something should apear at DrakNet combobox (at ehternet kernel module) and the only thing to do is select it, but the things don't happen like this. Can any one help me with this ? I realy apreciate some clue. Thanks in advance. Marcos.

[newbie] Apparently small challenge
Hi all. Imagine a sub-network with 10 windows-boxes. These machines does not have DD and it does not contain CDROM drive. Simply they are connected in the same network. Its HDs measures 10gb and contains windows-ME installed as primary operational system. In these conditions, how can I would install Linux OS (MDK8) on these boxes ? Remember that winme does not allow F8 to get a MS-Dos for partitioning or things like this. Can any one help me with this ? Thanks in advance. Marcos Nobre
[newbie] Mdk8 and PATH environment variable problems !
Hi folks. First of all, excuse me for my poor English. I have 2 mdk-8 linuxes box : 1 on my notebook and 2 on a desktop pc. I have had serious problems to define an alteration on a PATH variable to my desktop box. On my notebook all works fine. I had altered the /etc/rc.local file to accomodate a PATH=$PATH:/newdir and export PATH new commands and some services and shells (terminals) works fine. Acting by analogy, I do the same alteration on the desktop box and I did not have same success. In which file can I put a new PATH definition in manner that I have the new value of it in a global view ? I have to advise you that the only difference on those instalations are : notebook = home/office desktop = server I have experienced others things too. Alter the /etc/profile, /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions with the same failure. I used a mechanism of tracing the value of the PATH, placing echo $PATH /opt/foo_file_N in the beginning and end of each script file and perceived that my update was persisted thru the rc.local and the profile but some another script file had modified the PATH for a value that did not contain what I wanted. I saw that some scripts call the functions one and in that I saw a PATH definition PATH=... command line. By this I put my modification in it, but gain another failure. (after each script modification I reboot the box) Anybody has any clue ? The server instalation is so diffent from home one ? Thanks in advance, Marcos Nobre
[newbie] Help me with Software Manager
I have faced some problems with this feature (software). First of all it seems that I don't know how to use it. When I tried to update some packages I did : 1-Define Sources 1.1-New 1.1.1-Type of source = security updates 1.1.2-New source's name = XYZ 1.1.3-Select mirror (but before I update the mirror list) 1.1.4-Pressed OK 1.2-Pressed OK (to confirm the new source selected) 2-Reload Lists (*) (*) At this point my troubles began Tracking the troubles . Into the Define Sources windows already exists 2 entries : CD-1 Instalation. and CD-2 bla-foo-bla. Both of them were already marked. After adding the new source (mirror) it becames marked too. FIRST PROBLEM : When I call Reload Lists function the application only re-reads the CDs sources It never reads from the URL (new added source - mirror) that I have pointed. By this reason I delete both CD's entries and the feature worked fine. Where the CD1 and CD2 lists were persisted in the HD ? How can I rebuild the Source Lists using CD1 and CD2 lists ? SECOND PROBLEM : What can I do to keep a multi-list (CD1 + CD2 + URL1 +URL2...) filled and persisted ? I only need to choose one of them to Reload a List of Packages to update. I believe it is enough. The software manager don't runs like this. TIA Marcos Nobre.
