Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10 destroying Windows XP boot
They way I did it was to install XP fully, then reboot to the Mandrake 10 CD. Then install using a small /boot partition in front of the windoze partition and then the rest of mandrake after windows. Worked perfectly Troy T.

Everything went fine on the Linux side - but choosing Windows from the boot options caused a freeze, with a flashing cursor on black screen. The XP recovery console couldn't cope with the Linux partitions being in the FAT, so I ended up with a complete repartition, reformat and reinstall of XP. Not wanting to go through that twice, is there anything I should be doing with Mandrake other than following the default setup? EZiest way - DELETE XP. Can't argue with that. However, if you really must keep XP around, do the install by booting from the Mandrake CD *after* you have XP installed (leave some unpartitioned space, at least 5 or 6 GB). Sounds from what you said you installed Mandrake from within Windoze, not the way to go, AFAIK. If you install Mandrake by booting from the CD, it will use the unpartitioned space, and install LILO with a Win option, and play nicer. -- JoeHill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++ Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa. -- Bakunin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

We completely took the server down to bare hardware, and slowly brought it back to working order. Along with it we redesigned my network so that I am nolonger hiding behind the gigafast router and instead am using my server to provide the job. Yes it took a few long distance phonecalls to canada to figure it all out *boy i'm dreading that phone bill* BUT, he spent his time when he didn't have to. He asked for nothing in return. He even told me that quite honestly I shouldn't have been having to do all the hoop jumping I was having to do to get things to work. He could have just thrown up his hands and said, I don't know its not behaving normally so I give up, but he didn't. Somethings he fixed, some I figured out, but we both had good laughs and I think I've made a friend.

[newbie] mdk 9,2 vs Engarde Commuinity your opinion requested
Hi everyone; First let me start out by saying I know I goofed. I turned off iptables and got hacked. so now I'm trying to consider the best distro for ME. The server was nat'd behind a gigafast router onto a private IP so I thought I was safe. Thats what I get for thinking. At anyrate, I've been using Engarde for a few years and had never been hacked while using it. But it doesn't have X capabilities out of the box, because its designed to be an extremely secure server envirorment ONLY. My goal is for my server to handle mail, dns,web, mailing list, mysql, php(?), and an e-store. It will only serve 2 domains. It really is not important that X is on there at all. It is only important that its smart enough to protect me from me. So that I know my customers data is safe and secure. I'm willing to invest time to learn the intricasies of a distro but I want to pick one and stick with it. Otherwise I'll continue to chase my tail and never learn anything. Both distro's have excellent commuinity support. Your thoughts are appreciated. Troy T.

Re: [newbie] Printers
is this a result of pooling? Can you simply tell it NOT to pool the printers? Seems to me I've read/heard something about that pooling will send it to whichever is next. This reminds me of DNS servers. Which alternate which one gets the request. I have no idea how to fix this, but these are the thoughts that ran through my head when I heard this. Good Luck Troy T.

[newbie] Postfix configuration question
I'm confused by the postfix documentation. I have my cable modem going to a router which is providing NAT to the server via dhcp. My ip is provided dynamically but so far has stayed at 64.72.62.150. The routers gateway ip is 192.168.123.254. So does the documentation below mean that for the proxy server address I want the 192. address there or the 64. or what? -- Proxy/NAT network addresses The proxy_interfaces parameter specifies all network addresses that the Postfix receives mail on by way of a proxy or network address translation unit. You may specify symbolic hostnames instead of network addresses. You must specify your proxy/NAT addresses when your system is a backup MX host for other domains, otherwise mail delivery loops will happen when the primary MX host is down. Examples: Default: proxy_interfaces = Host running backup MTA: proxy_interfaces = 1.2.3.4 (the proxy/NAT network address) Thanks Troy T.

Re: [newbie] What is the best way to configure the network?
ok, I'll work on getting this thing changed over to a static. I don't want to use the cable company because they want $100/mo for it.

Also since I'm in Kansas I don't know what the weather would do. They've tested my house and say I have a great signal if I choose to use their service.

Troy; Before you can set up both domains, you need to have DNS running. Since you don't have a static IP address, you can't register your DNS server in the normal fashion, so you're going to have to use EZ-IPupdate. It's located on the download CD's, so even if you have a commercial version of the CD's you should be able to find the RPM package for it and install it. Mandrake Control Center is good for that. EZ-IPupdate will give you access to the sites below which will provide you with a domain name for free. Once you have that running, it will update the DNS servers at the site you chose, whenever your ISP changes your IP address. Even if you keep the IP address for a year and a half, they will eventually change it, and EZ-IPupdate will automatically contact the site and update your IP address, usually withing half a day. Here is a short list of the sites that offer the free service; http://www.ez-ip.net * http://www.justlinux.com * http://www.dhs.org * http://www.dyndns.org * http://www.ods.org * http://gnudip.cheapnet.net (GNUDip) * http://www.dyn.ca (GNUDip) * http://www.tzo.com * http://www.easydns.com * http://www.dyns.cx * http://www.hn.org * http://www.zoneedit.com Once you have that running, and they've given you a domain name, you can come back to the Mandrake List and I'll give you a hand with running both domains. In order to save time, you might as well install BIND while you're at it. We'll get to that later. It may take up to 2 or 3 days for your domain name from EZ-IPupdate to become vaild, so you'll have to be patient. While you're at it, have a look at some of the other ISP's in your area for an inexpensive DSL or ADSL provider. You might be surprised with what you find. There's one near my place that provides ADSL connections with static IP's for homes at $50.00/month, and that's a 3.5Mbps connection.

Don't know if this is relevant or not but I used to have a problem with one of my hd's where it did not won't to co-exist on the same controller channel as another. If it was all by itself on the controller channel it would be seen in linux just fine and the correct size. But when I put it with another drive, ESPECIALLY a seagate drive, it would change its drive geometry. Or not work at all. I eventually segregated it to its own box and it lives there still.

That changed hdf to hdb without a problem (with appropriate changes to fstab), but somehow hde just went 'poof' and disappeared instead of showing up again as hda. A few things I can think of: hda should be jumpered for Master and it should be (if I recall correctly, someone will correct me if I'm wrong) on the end of the IDE cable. The slave drive should be attached to the center cable connector. Does your bios show both drives being detected and identified correctly? (assuming you don't have a crippled bios like a Gateway or some such). Do you get a message at the first boot screen (right after memory test) that shows the Master and Slave drive being identified? Have you tried moving hdb to ide1, and having hda alone on ide0? Tried booting with only hda plugged in? Lots of stuff you can do to determine what the problem is, but it acts like: 1. hda has no power plugged into it 2. hda is jumpered wrong, or in the wrong position on the cable 3. the IDE cable is bad, not plugged in, or plugged in wrong--red marker not to pin 1 (not impossible to do with some cable/drive combos) 4. the hd has gone bad Above all, I would say make sure that neither drive is jumpered for Cable Select. It causes far more problems than it solves. Anne The hda is working fine. It's the master on a dual-boot system and has the XP OS and most of my data on it. It shows up in BIOS during boot just fine.

Thanks, Josh Sorry I cannot help you myself, but there is a specific forum for Linux on PowerPC at http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?op=modloadname=Splatt_Forumfile=view forumforum=8 No membership is required, but as I write all the forums are currently down. derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] stock to secure on MDK 9.2
What steps are necessary to secure a stock 9.2 system properly? It acts as a mail server, httpd, ftp (chrooted for webpage uploading only ) dns server. There is only 1 ip for 3 domains. all three are very small. There is webmin so that the domains can be administrated by their administrator. I haven't turned qouta's on but I've thought about it.

[newbie] saving a contract
I realise this is probably a very basic question, but I have a pre-done word contract that needs to have several fields filled out each time a new one is signed. I would like to store the data in a mysql database. The fields are all important and could be needed to be searched on at different times. I know which are my key fields, but I don't know how to do this. I would like it to be html if at all possible. If not OO is fine. I have converted the standard contract to OO at this time and have created a database with all the pertinent fields. But that is as far as I know how to go. Any help will be appreciated.

This may be a dumb question but is the cdrom drive that he's trying to use to read the cd fast enough? I mean if it was written at say 8x and its an older cdrom drive that can only handle 4x will it work properly?

Just black screen. It doesn't even start loading program into memory. I had a heck of a time getting Mdk 9.2 onto a Pentium 266 Laptop, as the CDs were not being read properly. It sounds alot like your problem. I have a Dell Inspiron 3200, that now functions great, but at 266 speeds. Try installing using the network.img image, and setting it up to either upload the files via NFS or FTP. I hope you have a fast connection for either one. Rob I don't think you have to do that; I had the same problem, now that you mention it. I just burned the cdrom.img to floppy and booted from there; after that I was able to install via CDROM. If you have a CD-ROM that can't read the burned disks (I do.) then it is the only way to get Linux on the machine. And when that was the problem, it acted very similar to what was described. Works for me. Rob Well, I'm starting to remember alot of stuff about the AMD K6 install; and I think that my AMD system was freezing at the same point as what Morten described. If the cdrom was incapable of reading the CD then the boot process wouldn't have begun at all. What is happening is a glitch during the load, which for some reason does NOT occur when the system (here) is booted from floppy, and THEN the cd is read. (A problem with the installation process per se) So therefore I was forced to install the Power Pack cd's with a floppy boot on the AMD server; which did work fine. It may be that a cdrom.img floppy/CD install won't work on your machine; is that one of the avenues you tried? Hopefully Mort won't have to go that route, as CD installation is much faster.

To get around it :- urpme mailman Then edit your main.cf and remove the references to mailman in :- alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases so it should be :- alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases There is also a mistake in your mynetworks line. It should be :- mynetworks = 192.168.123.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8 You do not need to include your exterior IP address. You should also edit /etc/aliases to define a real human user who can receive error mails from postfix as in :- # Person who should get root's mail.
