The command to repair the filesystem is (here we will take: /dev/hdc2 as the damaged one, which is yours.) fsck -f -c -y /dev/hdc2 The meaning of the options: -f : Checks even if it seems that the filesystem is looking good. -c : Looks for "Badblocks". These will be marked and they will never be written again. -y : Takes "yes" as answer to all questions. This way you can handle hundreds of mistakes without having to answer what to do in every single one of them. If you don't want to use this option, just leave it away. If the new try with fsck fails (the first try is already failed while booting), then only remains in the most cases formatting and installing again this partition.

The world has moved to the GUI, the GUI yer hear.:) Kmail is sort of semidecent, but it ain't no Eurora. Also gftp on Gnome side is fairly good, but there doesn't seem to be newsreader worth of its salt. All I have found so far are just toys. Then IRC, think of mIRC or even pIRCh and you get the idea of what IRC-client should be like. Unfortunately on web we are stuck with nutscraper, no serious alternative. Same story of course on windoze side since IE is pure crap. So I'd pay for for good IRC-client and newsreader, with the rest I can make do.:) Regards Eero

RE: [newbie] Updating netscape ver. 4.7
I had the very same problem, I overcame it by dl'ing nutscraper in *.tar.gz file. Then I uninstalled current version of nutscraper using kpackager and installed *.tar.gz with archiver.

The command "rpm" uses the RedHat Package Manager to install and uninstall packages that you download (filenames will end with .rpm). Some simple commands: rpm -ivh filename.rpm#installs a package rpm -Uvh filename.rpm#uninstalls a package rpm -q package #tells you if a package is installed, # and the package version rpm -ql package #lists files in an installed package rpm -qi package #gives a description of a package rpm -e package #uninstalls (erases) a package For an example, run `rpm -q kernel`. This will tell you what version of the Linux kernel you have installed. `rpm -qi kernel` gives you a description of the "kernel" package. For Netscape, you can download the new version from ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/distributions/mandrake/updates/6.1/RPMS You don't need all three. You do need "netscape-common," and one of the other two, depending on if you want the whole Communicator package with mail and news and composer, or just the web browser (navigator). Once you've downloaded the appropriate packages, run `rpm -e netscape-common netscape-communicator` to erase the current packages, and `rpm -ivh netscape*` to install the new ones. -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 22 Dec 1999, Howard Lee wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the help.

[newbie] kde upgrade
To upgrade kde from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2 is "kdebase-1.1.2-9mdk.i586.rpm" sufficient, or are any other packages needed? Thanks in advance.:) Regards Eero

Does anyone know where I can find a linux driver for the EN 1207D-TX 10/100 Adaptor card or drivers that I can use? Anyone ever tried to setup this kind of network card before? Please advice! Thanks. No idea...you might try asking in the list... Do you know what the chipset on the card is? That might be supported, even if the card itself isn't directly supported.
