RE: [newbie] Proper rpm procedure for cross-dependency?
Thanks Mike. The test went perfectly, but when I ran it I got an error about a problem regenerating lilo.conf. I edited lilo.conf, ran /sbin/lilo, and rebooted to the new kernel. It works great. I have no explanation, but my apps are launching WAY faster. Somethin' musta been broke, because I don't think a kernel upgrade can make that happen, can it?

RE: [newbie] Windows XP: EXtra Proprietary
Sad but true. At work, I had to install XP to test my software, and I was shaking my head that after you install XP, you have 30 days to 'activate' it with M$. Fail to do so, and the software locks up. Do so, and that 300$ OS is then tied to that machine - legally, even if that machine breaks, or if you just upgrade to another machine, you have to give M$ another 300$ for another copy. Our 233 Mhz, 64 MB test box can _barely_ budge under the load of XP. What a pile.

RE: [newbie] Help with Telnet (Fixed?)
I don't know if this'll work for you guys, but I took a stab
in the dark and now telnet works for me.
I just downloaded the new telnet rpm from rpmfind
(telnet-client-krb-1.2.2-15mdk), and
rpm -Uvh telnetblahblah
and now I'm up and running.

RE: [newbie] java and mozilla
Hello Paul Isaac was very helpful to me in getting that problem solved, and this is what he said (distilled): the command you're looking for is "ln". It works as follows: (the #'s are just to signify the root command prompt) # ln [options] sourcename(s) [destination directory] where "sourcename(s)" is the name of the file(s) you want to create links to (in your case libjavaplugin_oji.so) and "destination directory" is the directory you want the links to appear in (in my case it was /usr/local/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla/plugins, yours will be pretty similar - just make sure it ends up in /plugins) The option you'll be using will be -s (for symbolic). So, assuming your mozilla directory were located like mine is, the command would be: [ed. note - Both the file to be linked and the folder need to have fully qualified path names, as here shown:] # ln -s /usr/jre1.3.1/plugins/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla/plugins Your command would only differ depending on where your mozilla folder is. Anyway, after you install it you should use the simple command "ls -l [destionation directory]" to see that your symbolic link arrived appropriately. The line for the java plugin should start with the letter "l" to show it is a link. If all seems fine and dandy then try going to someplace that uses java and see if you get the error message. If you do, try logging out and logging back in. He also showed me a shortcut that works if you're using KDE, but this method works regardless, so that's the one I'll pass along.

RE: [newbie] ping
Hello all I'm trying to take my first steps with either MySQL or PostgreSQL, and the documentation at those websites, while great, is hard to follow from a Mandrake perspective (it seems the files are in different places from what those websites say is customary, and there must be some small setup involved, because things like 'initdb' are producing error messages implying that all the ducks are not in a row). Can someone point me to some LM-specific docs, or tell me the first few steps to perform to get things going on a clean install? Thanks Edmund
