If you get the error 'no devices found' then edit the above file and change the word 'SnapScan' to 'snapscan' and it should work. hope this helps, Mudder wow! It works!

Nick Nick, My youngest uses old cd's to cover a wall in his room as a decoration. he's quite artistically inclined and sees a viable use for many things like that that we'd normally throw out. however I reserve a few that I use as coasters for my coffee mug on the desk. Mark-- My wife and I use them in our garden yard art--if hung so the wind can move them, they catch the light very nicely. All I was saying is that they cannot currently be turned in to recycling centers to melt down to usable raw plastic and metal. But, you did remind me of a non-profit in Portland, OR called SCRAPS that recycles anything that might be used as art materials, especially for schools. I don't have their address, and couldn't find a website for them, though. Nick Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The support group that helps people who keep optimizing their hard drives with Norton Speed disk just to see all those lines and colors flashing all around will probably be of some help. d P.S. If you think this is the type of thing that might upset her, and you still are determined to do it, might as well go ahead and disable the light bulb inside the wave so you see the effects even better. But, then again, all the men who have done that are divorced. Okay, you guys are gonna get me in trouble with the wife. I am REALLY trying to hold back the urge to nuke my old CDs. I want to see fireworks and cool patterns on the CDs. Is there such a thing as a support group??

Jeanie I'm going to have to do that one again. it's been a while since last it was done. kinda miss the excitement. My wife didn't know I had stuck something in there and thought I was running it empty. I told her that what she was seeing was the results of severe magnatron decay and that we were all being exposed to terrible levels of radiation. she was scared for a fraction of a second and then realized I wasn't in all that big a hurry to get out of the house. and of course the twinkle in my eye was a dead give-away. can't pull anything over on her... ;) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] floppy mount problem

Any suggestion?? cheers /giannis Giannis-- I had a similar problem and found the the solution on the Frankenlinux page about fstab: www.frankenlinux.com/intor/fstab.html and used the suggested fstab setting listed there: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto rw,noauto,users,nosuid,nodev,sync,noexec 0 0 I think the important entry is the rw in the Mount Options (field three) list which means, of course, read/write. The Frankenlinux site is a *very* well written, useful resource--I recommend it. Not as much fun as this list, though ;-) Nick Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] USB rodent and keyboard install
Re probs w/ usb mouse.keyboard during install: IIRC, there is a bios setting, legacy usb, y/n or something like that. You need to set that to yes for the usb stuff to be recognized during install. Nick Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
