RE: [newbie] partition problem
Hello. When you say a second box you want to say a Second partition, true? I think you have too defragmented your partition. To resize a partition, first you must defrag it, in order to have all data at the beginning. And then resize it safely. Yes, You can use Partition Magic. Be carefull and perhaps make a backup before resize. The DOS file system use a FAT (File Allocation Table) to indicate the secuence of clusters (a cluster is a group of sectors) of your partition correspond to each archive. The number of cluster of your partition is 2^32 (FAT32), each file of size greater tha zero occupied one cluster at least, for example a file of 55 bytes is on a cluster of for example 16 Kb, wasting more than 15 Kb of space. LBA (Logical Block Adress) is an standard invented to manage hard disk greater than 512 Mb, that was the limited for the before standard.

[newbie] LinuxMandrake 8.0
Exist any upgrade package to convert LM 7.2 into LM 8.0? Where I can download it? Has LM 8.0 more bugs/problems than LM 7.2? Thanks. __ mensaje enviado desde http://www.iespana.es emails (pop)-paginas web (espacio illimitado)-agenda-favoris (bookmarks)-foros

[newbie] Sound Card Configuration Problem
Hello! I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.2. I´m trying to configure the soundcard. It is a "Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16". I use HardDrake to setup the parameters: E/S IRQ DMA etc... Then I pulse OK and TRY. I heard perfectly the message "Your sound card was successfully configured by SoundRec" twice one for 8 bit and another for 16 bit. And then appears a window with an STOP message in Spanish (my mother tongue) that I don´t know how to translate to you. "Error en la llamada a modprobe!" "/lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: init module dispositivo o recurso ocupado" "/lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: failed" "/lib/modules/2.2.17-21 mdk/misc/opl3.o: insmod midi0 failed" I look in the help and discover that this mean that another modprobe module is in memory and I have to remove it with "modprobe -r name_of_the_module_in_memory_that_I_want_to_remove". My problem now is how to discover the name of the module in memory. Anybody know how to find it? Any other ideas respect my problem?
