 A work colleague of mine has just installed Mandrake 6 on his new Toshiba
 Satellite 4080 CDT. The install went fine (okay, we had to skip the X
config
 as i know the video is only supported by a 'custom' X server i have
located
 for him).

 After rebooting into run level 3, the keyboard is locked and you can do
 nothing but hit the power button  - networking wasn't setup during install
 as it uses a PCMCIA card that wasn't listed - so i thought we'd do it
later.
 This means i can't telnet on and change runlevels.

 I'm at a bit of a loss. If i boot to runlevel 1 using 'linux single'
 everything is fine (after fixeing the filesystem problems caused by having
 to hit the power button). But i don't know how to strip out all unnesscary
 daemons from RL3 - if i run setup from RL1, i only get to set the daemons
 that i want loaded for RL1.

 Where do i start to get this up and running for him ?? - any ideas ?

 Thanks,
 Martin.

Sounds like this is a problem for the whole 40xx series.  I've got a
4000CDT with the same trouble.  There's a bit of info from someone who
had similar problems after upgrading kernels (or adding APMd, he's not
sure).  The info is the following URL:
'http://www.submm.caltech.edu/~shimpei/laptop/#keyboard'

Updating the pcmcia-cs doesn't seem to do any good, and I don't know
enough to do either of the other two suggestions.

Is it possible to run ICQ on Linux using WINE? If so, how..?



[newbie] Win/DOS Emulator

1999-07-05 Thread Yants

Great! I've got my Mandrake running pretty smoothly. However, there some
apps which aren't readily available to Linux, like MS-Office, Photoshop,
Diablo,etc. Is there a way to load Windows/Dos applications on linux. I've
heard people talk about Dosemu, WINE, VMWare, but these sound like more
cryptic linux jargon. Please advise.

[newbie] mounting other drives

1999-07-04 Thread Yants

I just finished repartitioning my HD to accomodate both win98 and Mandrake.
However, I need help mounting my floppy drive (A:) and my parallel zipdrive.
And if I wanted to access files on my Win98 partition, how would I do that?
I'd appreciate any help!
