I use EXT3 also, which has so far not failed me. I am satisfied with it.

Some /usr/bin commands where lost, and some other files where lost too. Then, without knowledge enough to repair file to file, and without time to do so, I reinstalled my mdk system. Finished the install, another blackout, and the same problem. Reinstall again. So, should I use another FS? Is there any FS better in all ways (performance, confiability)? -- Windows: Where do you want to go today? MacOS: Where do you want to be tomorrow?

[newbie] video card swap out
I'm trying to swap out a Trident TGUI9440-3 PCI video card in favor of a Cirrus Logic CL-GD5446. When I tried rebooting the OS will not load properly now (Hangs up where KDE would normally start loading). What did I do wrong? Do I need to reinstall the old card and make some kind of config change before I can install the new one? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. _ Steven Peters ICQ#: 53147135 More ways to contact me: http://wwp.icq.com/53147135 See more about me: http://web.icq.com/whitepages/about_me?Uin=53147135 _ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It will get to the configure X stuff and you can configure for the card there if it doesn't auto detect. It will ask if you want to check the configuration and you can click yes as in the original installation. You should see all the little penguins. It is quick and easy.
