Re: [newbie] Slow Hard drive
Considering that it work fine under win98, very fast, I don't think it is a hardware problem. Could it possibly be a partition issue. I have 1.5Gb Fat 32 4GB Fat 32 15Mb /boot 1GB / 2.5gb Fat32 500MB /swap 3.5Gb /home in that order on my drive. I didn't want to put /boot and / in that place but it was the only place I could put the partitions without getting an error message about the 1048 cylinder thing. - Original Message - From: Brent Timmer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 3:36 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Slow Hard drive I too have an Athlon, but with 256mb ram and a 27.3 gb hard drive. Actually, I run linux off my udma33 6.4 gb, but it doesn't take long to access anything off either drive in Linux. It's probably more a hardware conflict than a software. Which mobo are you using? My k7m tends to have some support problems and conflicts with udma. - Original Message - From: Sean Geoghegan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 8:50 AM Subject: [newbie] Slow Hard drive Hi I have Mandrake 7.0 on an Athlon 500 with 128MB and a 13GB UDMA 66 Quantum Harddrive. My hard drive takes a long time to access things in Linux is it possible that UDMA is not enabled? How can I check this and enable it. Does the Kernal that comes with MD7 support this.

[newbie] Mouse Problems
I am having problems with my PS2 mouse in Mandrake 7.0. 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
[newbie] Netscape
Is there a newer version of Netscape that the one that ships with Mandrake 7.0. This version is just ugly.
[newbie] Q's concerning Kppp and Lilo
Hi I'm new to the list and to Mandrake 7.0 and I've got a couple questions that have been discussed recently but I've come in on the tail end of the conversations so if someone can fill me in it would much appreciated. 1 I can connect to my ISP using Kppp and I can ping th remote server and other servers how ever i can't browse or receive mail using any program. I read in the help files that a DNS IP address needs to be specified. So I put in the remote server IP address and then netscape would attempt to connect but come back with the error message that the address is invalid or something like that. Am I correct in assuming that I need to put in the IP address of a real DNS and then it should work? Does any one have an IP address I could use or should I get one of my ISP? 2 I had to re-install W98 after Linux which removed Lilo from my system. How do I put this back on with out re-installing Linux? Also I am having the half memory detected problem. I can fix this at the Lilo prompt with "linux mem=128" but how do I set it up so Lilo will do this automatically? 3 How does Peer to Peer networking work with Linux? I have it connected to a Windows box. What is the Linux equivilant of Network Neighbourhood? Thanks Sean Geoghegan
Re: [newbie] 6.1 install problem
It's my guess that you have your Ls-120 on the Secondary Slave channel. In that case hdd is correct. Just a Newbie taking a punt.

Both work fine, neither created the boot disk. The LS-120 sets up as a hard drive /dev/hdd on mine. (two hard drives are a and b, the CD shows up as c). I can write to the LS-120 fine if I address it as a hard drive. My plan, when I find more time to mess with it, is to try to make the LS-120 a bootable hard drive to Linux. Hoping that will work. -Original Message- From: Kevin Sexton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 1:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] 6.1 install problem I have the messages back to september, and don't see any resolution to the problem, I don't seem to be able to mount the drive, the light doesn't even light.

I believe the bottom line was that an HD floppy with the boot info on it would boot fine in an LS-120 drive, but there was no practical way to make a boot floppy using an Ls-120. Alan Kevin Sexton wrote: I have had 6.1 installed(from download), and working, and now am trying to reinstall from powerpack CD's. my CD-Rom is bootable, but when the install gets to making a boot disk, it stops, without accessing the floppy drive(actually a: is ls-120 with floppy disk, is bootable, fully functional). If I skip making the floppy I get an error after choosing boot options, no matter how I try to set it up (MBR or first boot partition, linux or dos as default) Ok I rearranged partitions and got it to install before sending this message, without making a boot disk, but linux still doesn't seem to recognize the LS-120. I will try to get more info, if replies don't help, but I'm out of time right now.
