[newbie] mail
I am running a small isp. For mail, I am using postfix and gnu-pop3d. I am unable to find the info I need to fix a problem. If a user comes on to pickup his mail and for some reason hangs up before he is done, there is a lock file left behind. I don't know how long it takes for this file to be removed and is there a config file to set the time before the lock file is removed. BTW I am running Mandrake linux 8.2. Richard D.

Re: [newbie] 2 Questions about install....
I ran into the same thing on mine. It was the size of my win98 partition. Set your first partition down to about 7.5 gigs and the others will install. You need to have your boot partition in the first 1023 cylinders, under 8 gigs.

I am currently running into two problems during installation of Mandrake 7.0. The First: After partitioning my drive using Partition Magic to a 4.084GB partition for Linux, I try to install BootMagic. The intallation within Windows gives me an error message to the effect of: BootMagic Installation cannot complete because: 1. There is no FAT16 or FAT32 partition available under the 1024 cylinder or, 2. BootMagic is already installed on a hidden partition. Any ideas? The Second, more important problem: When running the DrakX installation utillity from CD-ROM I get to the drive mounting point, only to find that Linux is not recognizing my drive (I suspect this is because my hdd is running from the ATA/66 Controller) I have tried all the drivers listed and none of them will work. Also I found some instructions geared for Red Hat 6.1 where you enter "text" at the boot: prompt and make changes manually. Mandrake 7 gives me the message, unable to locate kernel image "text". Is anyone willing to give me detailed instructions on how to fix this? I have never even seen Linux running except for screenshots, so please explain in plain terms. Thanks very much!

Re: [newbie] No system sounds

After reading some different webpages I got the SB Live to play sounds using the media player (playing wav files) but can't get the system sounds to play. What would cause this? I have enabled the system sound but it won't play any sound when testing. I had the same thing. I installed and tested my SB AWE32 with sndconfig All worked well but no system sounds. I checked the setup several times and didn't notice that it had been save as SB. I had no wave sounds. I did the setup with sndconfig again and made sure it saved the setting as sb awe32/64 and now the wave files work.

Lilo installed on the boot sector rather than on the hda5. To get control of the windows system again, I used my win98 boot disk, using the command "fdisk /mbr" with out the quotes. This will reinstall the dos boot record and allow you to get control of your system again. You will have to move Lilo to the proper partition and reactivate the boot manager in windows.
[newbie] IP Masq
I am trying to get my home network working with ip masq. I have this working on my system with win98 and with OS/2 I normally connect with OS/2 and work my Win98 machine through it to my ISP. I do my Palmpilot through my win98 machine to my os2 machine to my isp. I am totally lost with Linux to do this. I have printed out the IP Masq. HOWTO and now know even less then before I read it. Is there a simple program or setup I can use so these 3 machines can connect to my ISp again. I am getting so frustrated I am about to dump Linux and go back to OS/2 again. Somebody please help.
