Disk Copy or Toast Pro (even if you have no burner) should be able to mount it. Then run the mounted iso as if it's a CD and when it asks where you want to install, tell it to go to the new partition you made for Linux (I'm assuming linuxppc will ask you that, I don't know first hand). If you have to buy Toast Pro, you're probably better off just buying a copy of Linuxppc. I'm thinking of getting a powerbook and putting linuxppc on it myself. Matt __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [newbie] Installing RealPlayer8.bin file -- Instructions
On Thursday 29 March 2001 11:08 pm, you wrote: I installed RealPlayer8.rpm on mandrake 7.2 with no problem at all. I had problem with the beta versions but not this one. This one works like a charm. Dear friends: You can get RealPlayer 8 from RealPlayer home page at http://www.real.com by selecting the free RealPlayer 8 Basic and then choosing under OS "Unix". This will take you directly to the Unix Community Supported RealPlayer page at: http://huxley.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform You have a choice of downloading two files for Linux: a RealPlayer8.rpm and the other file, which is a RealPlayer8.bin file. Due to the problem with "a different architecture", the rpm file will NOT install. It has been strongly advised by our gurus NOT to try to install it either by forcing it (--force) or by using the --ignorearch option. INSTEAD, do what I just did, thanks to a message from Wolfgang and from Tom Brinkman: First uninstall RealPlayer 7 by typing the command as root: #rpm -e RealPlayer Now install the RealPlayer8.bin file (around 5.8 meg) as ROOT. Then, as root, continue your installation and install the plugins and mimetypes. This is part of the installation as root. Just follow instructions until you have installed it fully as root. Then, as USER, go to the directory it has installed itself in, namely, /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and type: $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh mimetypes.sh and $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh plugins.sh This will give you the plugins and mimetypes as user. Now, all that's left is to make it more convenient to launch RealPlayer8 as a desktop icon. Create the icon, then in Properties, Execute type: kstart /usr/local/RealPlayer8/./realplay If you don't add "kstart" you won't be able to launch RealPlayer automatically from the icon. So, add the "kstart ..." and it's done. That's it. I am going to send this to the Newbie list. Hopefully, this will help other newbies. My thanks again to everyone who helped. Benjamin

Re: [newbie] How do i configure my xfree86
you can su to root then issued the following command:
cd /usr/src/linux
make xconfigurator
then you can configure what you want to include and exclude. once you have
done that then you can:
make deps
make bzImage
make modules
before you install the modules. you should backup your /lib/modules/2.2.xx
to /lib/modules/2.2.xx.old
make modules_install
then copy your bzImage to the /boot directory and also your system.map.
If you want the 2.4 kernel. It's in www.mandrakeuser.org you can find it
in there. There is also a readme text that you can follow direction from
there.

On Friday 02 February 2001 07:01 am, you wrote: Yeah, I agree that i810 is not recommended especially if you want to disabled it and use something else. Otherwise it works great with 7.2. Hello Richard, The computer I work with in the university I study uses the CA810A motherboard, which has the Intel's 810 chipset. I haven't had any serious problems related to the sound and graphics configuration with Mandrake 7.2. The installation procedure was a somewhat hard. No graphics mode for installation started, which is not really a problem, but the length of the text lines were too large to appear completely on the screen. So, I was able to read just the right halves of the messages lines; I had read the tutorial so it wasn't too difficult to make sense out of it. The installation language was spanish. During installation I didn't have a chance to probe the graphics but XConfigurator did the job latter. The sound worked as soon as I started KDE. No extra work was needed!! I can even use kscd to listen music cd's without any kind of trick. I have read in this list that Intel's 810 chipset is the kind of hadware that is not recommended to have, but I am satisfied so far. It even works better than the SiS6326 AGP Graphics Accelerator --which another computer I use has-- in the sense that it seems that the last needs a lot of extra effort to make it work correctly; extra effort that I have gone through partially.

It is not very clear on how they setup "BusID "PCI:0:0:0" I thought well the card is in PCI slot #4. so I had it like this -- "BusID "PCI:4:0:0"" still it can't find device.

[newbie] XFree Problem
Hi All, I have an i810 built in graphic chip and I have decided to get a 16 meg graphic card instead of having 8 meg. I have "ATI all in wonder 128" PCI version. XFdrake keeps detecting the i810 even though I have disabled it in the BIOS setup. I tried manually edit the xf86config-4 using r128 and/or ati driver but it can not find the device. I have trouble understanding the concept of BusID of the xfconfig-4 part of the script. I know my card is in PCI slot 4. the BusID "PCI:0:0:0" is a mystery to me. I did a "lspci" to find information on BusID or the I/O. Can anyone help me out? This wasnt the first time I had problem relating to PCI versus i810. I had Voodoo3 PCI before Mandrake 7.2 became released. and it worked just fine in 7.1. When I tried installing 7.2 XFdrake wouldnt detect my PCI Voodoo card. No matter what I did. XFdrake refused to look at anything else but my i810. So I took Voodoo off. At first I thought it was just the Voodoo card that XFdrake refused to look at. Now I know it just not Voodoo3 PCI, it's other PCI card as well if i810 is built into the motherboard. I'm fustrated. I have Linux coexist with windows. and ATI works like a charm in windows but it sucks in LInux. Rob

The proper attitude is that making Linux extremely easy will not (should not!!) SUBTRACT from what is here today! If you enjoy config files and mucking around with parameters - that will all still be there. If you enjoyed CLI work with the shell of your choice - that will still be there. But for the majority of people who are not interested in the "guts" the ease-of-use would be there. Add the "layman apps" that the non-enthusiast might be interested in and suddenly Linux could start to be a real alternative in the consumer market. That would help the consumer and Linux. And... that may be happening with companies like Dell/Compaq/IBM shipping Linux pre-installed. Yes, it's probably mostly servers but that's a start and more than has been there. Think of what would happen if these hardware suppliers start offering consumer packages.

Additional comments: (1) Ditch the Drake partitioner and use the non-free Partition Magic 5.X program instead. The Drake partitioner will not work properly with Quantum Fireball drives containing a FAT16/FAT32 partitions and obviously from the number of complaints on Mandrake lists, there are many other types of drives it will not work on as well. (2) KDE 2.0 is prone to crashes and too resource intensive. (Yes, I installed the final version.) (3) No matter what type of install is attempted, 7.2 will install non-system packages which were de-selected and not install other packages which were selected. (4) KDE2/this-kernel-version causes constant disk activity. (64MB RAM, swap 128MB). CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is totally ineffective to shut down a process gracefully! (5) USERDRAKE is clearly broken as are many others. (6) Many configuration scripts are broken. (7) The installation process needs very much work. There are a number of interesting ideas in 7.2 but they are just that: ideas which have been incompletely implemented. As an avid Mandrake 7.1 user I find this to be sad. Mandrake seems to have lost it's way: The Mandrake-Macmillan monopoly deal, Macmillan's non-support, Macmillan's different releases of 7.2 (Wallmart and so on). It is clear that the present Mandrake Management aim Mandrake at every type of user, anyone who can read their adverts and prod a keyboard, but who is the Mandrake distribution really suitable for? Mandrake Technical side clearly have their ideas which seem to conflict with the Mandrake Moneymen ideas. In short: In my opinion, 7.2 is not ready for novice users/Windows users and possibly too much trouble for even an expert to bother with. You can do a lot better Mandrake, but do you really want to? -- Original Message -- Hi all, I am still unable to find the desktop that shows up on the linux-Mandrake tutorial for KDE.

You might want to try Applixwords. It's usually part of a suite, but the word processor can be purchased (yeah, not freeware) separately for about US$40, I believe.

Re: [newbie] XFree86 4.0.1
Yeah, I had that problem once before. I tried installing 4.0.1 into the Mandrake 7.1 and I had that same font error you were describing. So I waited for the Mandrake 7.2rc to be release as 4.0.1 as the default. I had approach with another problem. There were a server crash due to the conflicting i810 and 3DFX. It couldnt make up its mind to which to use so it disregarded the PCI version of 3dfx and it used the i810. However, I disconnected the PCI and it worked just fine. a lot better than than when I had the 3.3.6 version of XFree86. It display up to 16 bits instead of 8 bits. 3dfx display up to 32 bits which I wanted to use.

If you have not done much burning and are not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed, simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the burn speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and the process of burning the CD will begin.

[newbie] Hacker on Licq
Yesterday, some hacker from Spain got into my system and started to hacking away at some of my linux files especially in Licq files.

Re: [newbie] Hacker on Licq
I usually go online when I'm using the computer and go offline when I'm not. Apparently, this hacker just secretly performed some work to alter my system and I was not even logged in as root. I thought I had fixed it when I deleted all the licq files and replaced it with my back-ups. I noticed something was not right. so I logged in as root to deleted the user and added another user. when I go logged on as the new user. there were a whole lot of features missing. and most of them were useless. I noticed when the system were creating the directory for me. It told me that it couldnt install some files from the /usr/share files. I'm like great. Time to reinstall the whole mandrake system. This time I got a few programs like pmfirewall and the other program others had suggested. I will be better prepared next time some crook try to break in.

Due to crash and security vulnerabitlity from what I remember, they excluded it on that version. Rob, Which version of Mozilla was it that the JAVA didn't work for you? I haven't had any trouble with M17, or M18 yet. In fact I'm waiting for the latest nightly build of M18 to get done downloading so I can set it up. I installed this one at the office and was pleasantly surprised to find that they're tweaking the daylights out of this thing. It's no where near the resource hog that it had been two weeks ago when I last checked. Memory usage is down from 54% to 33% with the browser and email client running at the same time. That's one heck of a tweak! The CPU usage is WAY down also. With M17 the CPU usage was between 24 and 40 percent with browser and mail client running. It was at a steady 0.03% for build 2908. Quite impressive! When Mozilla is finished it's going to be one HELL of a nice Browser/Email/Editor suite. Functionally it's almost to the same place that Netscape 4.75 is. I said "almost". Don't get too excited. They've got a little ways to go yet cause it's a bit sluggish yet. I think there's a few too many memory leaks yet and some other small issues. However! it isn't far more crash resistant than Netscape 4.72, .73, .74, and 4.75.

Linux not ready for prime time (OS/2 user) As someone who does not like to have MS stuff on my PCs but have to because of the need of relating to the real business world, I was eager to try Linux. It really is great, especially for an open system. But I believe it still has a way to go before it can be used by the general computer public. i second this... That is another problem. There are numerous configuration files (X, etc.) and they are all located in different places instead of in one directory where a non programmer can find them. there is method to the madness but it's not obvious... There are numerous other problems that make using Linux a steep learning curve - which it does not need to be. I am certain it will improve and I sure hope so, but it cannot improve unless normal PC users like myself point out where they see the problems for them. Agreed, it's simple trivial things that aren't there. However, I don't think the Linux commuity, in general, cares in the least that you have such problems. I don't think it will ever improve... It's been nearly 10 years, it's shameful it's still this hard for a commoner to use. It's cause they don't care about the common user's experience. There's all sorts of bigotry surrounding how intelligent a user should be and that they don't deserve the right to use a computer if they aren't a member of the programmer/IT sect! It's so freaking insulting IMHO...

Re: [newbie] Install problems
Well, I purchased MDKLinux 7.1 Complete which only include the installation disk and application. I had tried installing it on my Old 166 mhz IBM Aptiva. When I got to the end and it ask for the application CD. My CD-Rom wouldnt open. and along side with that. My X-windows would not get installed. At first I thought maybe the disk were damaged because I had installed 6.1 on it with no problem. So I thought well I'll try it on my newer computer which is 533 Intel Celeron and surprisingly It installed everything including the application CD. and Everything is working beautifully. So my guess is that my old computer is too outdated for the MDKLinux 7.1. - Original Message - From: Kelly, Christopher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Newbie' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 14, 2000 11:14 AM Subject: [newbie] Install problems Hi all, I recently installed MDKLinux 7.1 and when the install got to where it asks for the "Extensions CD", my cd-rom wouldn't open. So, I skipped it. Is there a way to install it after the fact? And, has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks, Chris Kelly Registered Linux user 185775
