[newbie] 3 Problems
1. I have Win98 SE installed on one hard drive and Mandrake Linux 8.2 on another. I had Lilo configured and was able to boot into Linux with no problem. The problem is that when I rebooted and tried to go into Win98, all I got was a black screen with the message Windows loading. Windows never did load. I checked the settings in Lilo and was told by the guy from whom I bought the CD's from that my settings were correct. As a result the only way I can boot into Linux is with a boot disk. Otherwise the computer boots into Windows. 2. I downloaded and installed QCad. I have tried unsuccesfully to link the executable file from the KDE desktop. Each time I try access the program from the desktop icon, I get a blank QCad screen with no tool bars and I can't close the screen and have to reboot. The program boots ok from the terminal but I would prefer to be able to access it with an icon on the desktop. 3. Each time I boot into Linux, I get the KDE desktop but the Root Console - Konsole opens also. Is there a way to configure the desktop to just open without anything else opening?

[newbie] Problem installing Real Player 8 for Linux
I downloaded Real Player 8 for Linux file rp8_linux_alpha_rh62_cs1.bin According to Linux Newbie.com all I was supposed to do was double click on the file and it would install. Well, since it didn't, I have not done something right or I've done something wrong. Either way, I am not installing the program. Did I download the wrong version of the program? Am I not using the correct procedure to install a binary file? I would really appreciate some help with this. I am and probably will be for some time a newbie to Linux.

[newbie] Linux version of Windows Media Player
I have only recently become acquainted with Linux through Mandrake-Linux 8.2. Is there a Linux version of a media player that will allow one to log onto Internet radio stations? If so, where can I go to download it? Tom Beno Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] XMMS
OK. I got in my manual and set up XMMS, went to Shoutcast.com and downloaded one of their site addresses and got it to play stereo on my computer. Now, three things. Does M$ own all the radio stations accessible with Windows Media Player? If Icecast and Cool FM are supporting open source, why are they charging for access? And third and last, how can I download different site addresses from Shoutcast.com so I can listen to more than one type of music. When I picked on a different type of music and downloaded the file, it came up as the same identical file as the first one I had downloaded.
