RE: [newbie] mandrake admintool ?
Hi, Oliver, - For installing bootloader, network (change hostname, IP address, etc), you can use Linuxconf, type : linuxconf at command prompt - For installing software, you can use kpackage (software that packaged with RPM format), type : kpackage at prompt. - For installing hardware, maybe you can use isapnptools or if you use Mandrake 7.0 use DrakConf. May it helps.

RE: [newbie] screen resolution
Dear Brett, You can change the monitor resolution with editing file /etc/X11/XF86Config and look for Screen section. Look for your VGA adapter and set the resolution just as you like. Or you can use DrakConf too. Its icon must be at desktop. May it helps.

RE: [newbie] CD Burning With Memorex CRW-1622 IDE
Hi, David, You can check whether your CD writer be supported or not by Linux at : http://www.guug.de:8080/cgi-bin/winni/lsc.pl For IDE-CD writer, you must activate SCSI Host Adaptor Emulation. For the complete guide, you can look at : http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO Best Regards, Paulus Hendarwan -Original Message- From: David Hollyfield [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 03, 2000 6:13 PM To: Mandrake Linux-Newbie Mailing List Subject: [newbie] CD Burning With Memorex CRW-1622 IDE Has anyone successfully burned a CDR or CDRW with a Memorex CRW-1622 IDE CD re-writeable drive?

RE: [newbie] DUAL BOOT
Hi, Steve, 1. All you have to do about sound card is just make sure that your sound card is supported by Linux (you can check it out at Hardware HOWTO at http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO and if it supported, run the command : # sndconfig and after that, you just have to follow the instructions. 2. About dual boot, I think it isn't a problem you put Linux at where place. To activate LILO (LInux LOader), a dual-boot utility, just type : # lilo and Linux will work it out for you. If you reboot, after memory checking and some other else, you will be asked what OS you want to boot from. That's it. May it helps.

I have a SCSI HD and an IDE HD. The controller card for the SCSI drive is not supported, bummer, so I have Linux installed on my IDE drive. All peripherals except for the sound card work properly, I have a Creative Labs sound card. The installation program never gave me the option to set it up. Does this mean it is not supported? If it should be supported how can I set it up after the OS has been installed? I am confused as to how to set up the dual boot option when the 2 OS's are on different drives? Currently, when the computer is setup to boot off of the drive containing Linux it gets to "LI" then freezes. If I boot up off of the Linux floppy created during installation, it works fine. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance, Steve
