Re: [newbie] LM7.2 Installation problems (CDRW/modem etc.)
Do you have a win modem, or a harware modem? If you have a Win Modem the outlook is bleak, its possible you can get it running by checking out www.linmodems.org. Also many soundcards seem to be configured to use the same irq, dma and i/o settings as a modem, you might want to check the configuration settings of your cards. I know this is the issue for me, windows uses plug n play to reassign the settings on the 2 cards, this feature does not seem to be available in linux, if your cards are sharing an irq/dma/port number, you will have to open up your computer and reassign the values via the jumpers manually. if you open it up and your modem has NO jumpers, its very likely youre using a win modem, check out the site provided and pray they support your winmodem. As for your CDRW, im not sure, I havent played with mine yet, it also isnt functional at the momemnt, at least not as a burner, it reads just fine though, Sorry i couldnt answer all your questions, hope the info i gave you will assist, Ryan Le Gros - Original Message - From: "SPUFI Doo" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 6:32 AM Subject: [newbie] LM7.2 Installation problems (CDRW/modem etc.) My kit is as follows: AMD Athlon 850 Thunderbird ATX Soltek SL 75KV2X Socket A 256Mb PC133 SDRAM 30.7 Gb Maxtor UDMA100 7200rpm 56K PCI Fax/Modem GM56PCI-L Traxdata CD-RW 8432 Plus Soundblaster 64 OEM sound card ATI RAGE 128 PRO gfx Canon Canoscan N650U USB Scanner HP DeskJet 540 Parallel Printer HP Colorado T1000e Parallel Tape Drive Iomega Zip-100 Parallel LM7.2 installed from CD easily, picked up my gfx card, but when I logged on, got no sound or life from my modem/cdrw in KDE.

However, I am having problems installing my Windows 95 version 4x. I have been following the instructions given from the vmware support page but all I get are error messages such as invalid commands, etc. Would anyone be able to help me step by step with the Windows 95 installation? It seems they say it is necessary to format your disk first that is where I am having problems. I am not familiar with Dos at all. I just downloaded alot of Dos info to help me,however something as simple as exiting Dos I cannot seem to do. How do you safely exit DOS? Also, does anyone know of a good vmware email support group? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Sincerely, Marcia

Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
If youre using the distributed version of mandrake 7.2 (i.e. store bought boxed version) Complete does not come with any development tools and thus doesnt allow you to choose between workstation, development or server. to do this you must purchase Mandrake 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe or download Mandrake from their website.

Re: [newbie] Installation (please help)
Ok after scandisking the drive and getting a clean report, i tried reinstalling linux mandrake 7.2 powerpack deluxe with all packages MINUS the Print Pro Seiko package. Same problem came up with about 2-3 mins of installation time left. The errors are as follows: ldconfig failed no hdlists found and it again boots me back to the partitioner. the partitions i set up were for the development model (/, swap, /usr, /home) Using a 10 gig drive I devoted 500mb to /, 250mb to swap, about 6.5 gigs to /usr and the remainder about 2.3 gigs to /home) the machine is a p2 450 micron millenia. Any ideas on what the errors mean and how i can install this OS completely? (going to be using it for experimentation and development) Mandrake 7.2 Complete installs just fine. No errors or warnings at all whatsoever.

[newbie] Installation
I am installing Linux Mandrake 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe on a Micron Millenia p2 450 with 384 megs of ram, when i go into the installation all works well, when i get to the package selection, I select everything available (comes out to about a 5 or 6 gig installation) and proceed. everything begins installing, great. right after the last package is installed however, the installation crashes out with a series of messages which i cant quite remember offhand, althought ill submit them here later today after i attempt again. has anyone had anything similar to this happen? what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it thanks for the help Ryan Ok I've attempted to reinstall the operating system and heres what happens: the installer begins unpacking the print pro seiko package and then crashes out immediately after with about 3-4 minutes left in the installation. it gives me two errors: An error occurred ldconfig failed An error occurred no hdlists found it then dumps me back to the partitioning section of the installer. I looked at my partitions and the partitions had been changed what used to be the root partition (/) had become /mnt so instead of having partitions in this order: /, swap, /usr, /home I now had: /mnt, /swap, /usr, /home after fixing the partitions back to the way I wanted them and clicking done it told me i would have to reboot before the changes took effect or something like that Again im using a Micron Millenia P2 450 with 384 megs of ram. im trying to install linux mandrake 7.2 powerpack deluxe as a full installation (all packages possible in the individual package selection screen) and im attempting to install it on hdb (10gb western digital drive) Please help!
