Put the CD in the cdrom, reboot your machine. That should boot off the CD for you, so you can have a regular Mandrake install.

I didn't think Netscape 6 is all that great. It's big, and slow. And I was on a P650 with 128megs of RAM. The GUI looks too much like Mozilla for me.

Re: [newbie] SMP
open /proc/cpuinfo, if you're running with 2 processors, it'll give specifications for cpu0 and cpu1. If you're NOT using both processors, and want to be. Use the mkbootdisk command to make a bookdisk of the SMP kernel located in /lib/modules. If you're running Mandrake 7.2, the command to make an SMP bootdisk is this: mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.2.17-21mdksmp Tyler On Sat, 4 Nov 2000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Sat, 4 Nov 2000 13:16:50 US/Pacific To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] SMP How can I find out if I'm running SMP Kernal or not???
[newbie] OpenSSH sshd
Hi everybody, I recently installed OpenSSH. I want sshd to accept ssh connections. I start sshd by typing sshd. Then, to connect, I do ssh 127.0.0.1 (I'm running as root). It asks for roots password, so I enter root's password, and it says "Permission denied, please try again" After doing that 3 times, it diplays: "Permission denied (publickey,password). I also ran ssh-keygen as root. It saved my key in /root/.ssh/identity, and I entered a passphrase, but still no luck. Can anybody help me get sshd working correctly? Thanks!!! Tyler Longren

I tried connecting to 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.2, and VectraXW but it doesn't let me log in using either of those. Still get the same thing. I changed ListenAddress in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to 192.168.1.2, but that didn't work either. I've attached a copy of my sshd_config file, would you be willing to take a look at it? Thank!
