[newbie] Swap DVD and CD-RW drives
Mandrake-Linux experts, I have Mandrake 8.2 on a PC with one DVD Rom drive and one CD-RW. Currently, DVD Rom drive is the master (hdc) and CD-RW is slave (hdd). I want to swap the two CD drives around so that CD-RW is the master and DVD Rom drive is the slave. Could someone explain what needs to be done within mandrake-linux for the DVD and CD-RW to be recognised correctly. Many thanks. Mungal. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Adding new user account
I want to add a new user account to the Linux system. I used the command 'adduser', gave the necessary parameters such as: User name Password Home directory Shell to use. The account is created because: Home directory exists with the skeleton of files. Entry exists in /etc/passwd Entry exits in /etc/groups etc. I can do 'su ' and it works. i can do 'cd ~ and it works. The account was created as root. But when I try to log in from KDE, the system accepts the user name and password and attempts to start-up the desktop, but fails and returns back to the log in screen. I have also tried to create the account using the graphical front end from Gnome. This gives the same result/problem. Could someone help. Regards. Mungal.

Re: [newbie] running windows in linux
Exceed is quite a mature product. It turns the windows based PC into X Terminal. The window manager you use depends on your X server. I have used Exceed on a PC (Pentium 133) and the X server was on Sun. Hence, Exceed does not require a high spec PC. M.

[newbie] Help with Mandrake install ....
I'm newcomer to Linux/PC. I tried to install Mandrake Linux V7.0 on my PC. I used the latest cdrom.img file from the web as the one on the CD-ROM is thought to be faulty. I used the recommended settings. Although linux is installed correctly, I can't boot in Windows. Can anyone help. Regards. Mungal.
