Hi Noel,
On your CD Writter Software, There are many ways you can burn a CD!
Like Audio CD, Data CD, and Disk Image('ISO').
Find in your CD Writter software, where is the 'Disk Image' or 'Burn
ISO' or just 'ISO' option is.
Then select the ISO you want to burn on CD.
Then Select the CD Writer that writes CD. [If you don't have multiple
CD writter on your computer, it will be already selected!]
This should get you outta your trouble!
When you write a ISO choosing 'DATA CD' option, it just produces
another copy of ISO file. That is totally worthless.
Have fun.

Can someone please help me with what I'm sure is a very basic

For the first time I have downloaded an Iso [Ipcop]. However I
cannot seem
to find out what to do next ie. burn it as an ordinary CD.
I have Roxio WinOnCD 3.8 as the software for a Plextor drive.
This is on a
Win machine as I have no CD writer on my Linux box. When I try to
'look
for' the Ipcop Iso file, which is on the desktop, I can see it and
drag it
into the working window. However when I try to write I am told that
it is
Raw Data and that I should not proceed.
If I do write it it ends up as either another copy of the Iso or a
load of
rubbish.
Other sessions with this software are stored as ISO files on the
HDD with no
trouble and can be retrieved,written etc. without any bother.
What I seem to need is basic instructions or software advice.
Many thanks for any advice.

If you have trouble burning ISOs directly, you can extract the
contents of the ISO to a folder and then burn the files inside that
folder as a normal data project. If you don't know how to extract
files from an ISO, you can download the Free Virtual CD ROM for
Windows XP. Use it to mount your ISO file as a virtual CD ROM drive
and then copy all the files from the drive. Here's where you'll find
the software

[newbie] CorelDRAW
Hi, Does anyone know a software that can open .cdr files created by CorelDRAW? I'm interested in printing them. Editing and all doesn't matter. I need sort of a viewer for the CorelDRAW graphics files under Mandrake 10.0 or even 10.1. If anyone knows anything about such a software, please reply asap. Thank you.

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com I had a problem with the modem. I have a D-Link external modem, which used to work fine on 10.0. I decided to install 10.1 yesterday and I started a Hard Disk install. Everything went fine. All the packages and all got installed correctly, just that it didn't allow me to configure the internet connection after the installation. I selected Modem connection. The installation detected the modem properly. I clicked next and it gave a similar perl error. I then finished the installation, rebooted the pc in runlevel 3. I logged in as a user and hit startx. The KDE splash showed up. But then suddenly the Welcome window popped up. This is the window that pops up when KDE starts. Though, at that moment, all I could see in that window was the check box at the bottom that says Show this windows when KDE starts or something and the close button. Not to mention, I couldn't click either. The splash screen meanwhile, was stuck on the 2nd thing ermmm, I don't remember what it is! But anyways. So I killed X and hit startx again. This time, KDE started properly, but I didn't get the First time wizard. Now in KDE, things work fine, but I can't restore windows once I maximize them. Anyways that doesn't matter. The problem is with the internet connection. I started KPPP and manually configured the modem and the rest of the settings. KPPP connected fine, but I'm unable to send or receive any data on the line. No browser works. Gaim, Kopete... neither manages to connect to the internet and urpmi can't find the servers either. The modem works fine in Windows XP and so it did in Mandrake 10.0. I've downloaded the ISOs for 10.1 from the internet and verified the MD5SUM. I extracted all the files from the ISOs to a folder and installed from the HDD. I booted off the first CD. Any idea about what's wrong? Thank you.

[newbie] Bandwidth limiting...
Hi, I have LAN n/w here. The internet connection comes off a computer running Mandrake 10. The connection is via PPPoE on eth0. eth1 connects to the rest of the clients (10 of them) running Windows 98 (wish i could burn them down) via a switch. So there's the whole setup of the network. I give internet access to these pcs via ipkungfu. Now, is there any way via which I can limit the bandwidth used by each pc? I have a 256kbps connection and i'd like to limit the individual bandwidth for each client to say, something like 20kbps. Is it possible? If yes, how? What software and where do I get it? Any documentation? Thank you. Mrugesh Registered Linux User #375243 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
