[newbie] Dual boot with Windows 2000
How can this be done? I have tried Linux as the first installed OS and then tried Win 2k and then I tried the reverse. I cannotget Lilo to function (install). This was not a problem with '98 and worked well. Any help would be appreciated. BTW...my drive is formated fat 32 at this point. Previously, it was fat32 and I allowed Mandrake to do the rest. Thanks Ron

When ever there is a fair amount of disk activity the pointer will jump accross the screen with the slightest movement. Any one experienced this. Also is there anyway to get my mouse wheel working? Thanks Sean Hi Sean After many stupid mistakes, I finally figured this out I had to reinstall Mandrake 7.0 and when prompted, chose the "expert Install". It asks you what kind of mouse you have. Choose Mouseman+ /firstmouse for PS2. After the install is complete, got to http://klug.armintl.com/tech/ns-wheel.html and download the config file for Nescape 4.7. Switch to root before you complete the instructions on that site. You will have to rename the file btw. Good luck Ron

Re: [[newbie] Can anyone recommend a good email program?]

But it wouldn't be annoying if everyone had the capability to read html. Not necessarily the ability to respond in it, just read it. I find the constant "lose the html" comments much more annoying than the html itself. But that's because I refuse to use a mail client that can't display html properly. No, no war, just agreeing to disagree on some things. :-) Alan Hi Alan... Is there actually an email client that will display html under Linux? Thanks Ron
[newbie] e-mail clients rtf
I just want to thank everyone who responded to my post on shared files. Thanks! :) My next question is, is there an e-mail client available that will read rtf? or html? The reason that I am asking is that my wife refuses to use a standard e-mail client under Linux and insists on Outlook express. I would like to lose windows all together. I have searched so far to no avail.. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Ron
[newbie] shared libraries?
Hi everyone I have Linux Mandrake 7.0 succesfully installed on my machine!!! What a treat in comparison to the usual boring Windows. I am trying to install an RPM that says it has a dependancy on libjpeg.so.6. Is this not a file that is required by alot of KDE apps? Please help.. so far this is the second app that requires this library and it remains elusive. Thanks a million Ron
