I would like to have all the volume, length, weight, and number systems set to swedish. But the user interface I do NOT want in swedish. Do I have to leave one at en_US? And in that case, wich one?

Re: [newbie] connection sharing using static ip
Before I start blocking the 2000 I want to start sharing the connection using static ip. When I run the wizard it automaticly configures the sharing to use dhcp. This makes the old static ip disappear. When I use dhcp on the win machine I can connect to the internet, but I can no longer ping the old ip of the linux machine.

Just asking...otherwise, if you've done a: locate gproftpd and a whereis gproftpd ...and the program STILL doesn't show up, I'd reckon there's a bit more wrong... I say: I used gproftpg just because I couldn´t find webmin. I´m very much a newbie and didn´t know where to look for it. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me where to find webmin.

[newbie] proftpd and incoming files
I set proftpd up using gproftpd and the only thhing I didn manage to set up was incoming files. How do I set proftpd up to accept incoming files from the users on my intranet?

Re: [newbie] Where is proftpd?
Sascha Noyes said: Does gproftpd actually work for anyone here? With me it just crashes and burns anytime I want to do basically anything. and Stephen Kuhn said: Is that the GNOME front end to ProFTPD? I say: gproftpd did actually work for me. I could set up most of what I wanted to without any problem. And yes, I think it is a front end for gnome. I have both gnome and KDE installed. I logged in as root and gproftpd worked perfectly under KDE.

[newbie] Where is proftpd?
Hi, I ran the ftp utility in the mandrake control center (mandrake9). It installed proftpd for me. Where can I find proftpd? And does it run with a GUI? If not, can I get a GUI for it?

[newbie] CD gone in linux
Hi, I took my cd player off the computer and started linux without it. After that I put the cd player back and restarted linux and the cd was not there. In konqueror it just says 0 Items - 0 Files - 0 Directories. When trying to install software it asks for the cd3 but just spits them out. How do I get my cd player back?

Re: [newbie] how to get write permission to a mounted folder?
I tried the chmod 777 J command and I guess it was accepted, because there was no error message. but when i run the ls -l I still get drwxr-xr-x just like before. - Original Message - From: Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2002 00:10:09 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] how to get write permission to a mounted folder? > fifner the dragon wrote: > > >Hi, > >I made a shared folder (called "J") on my other box(windoze).

[newbie] how to get write permission to a mounted folder?
Hi, I made a shared folder (called "J") on my other box(windoze). I can access it from /mnt/J using Samba. To read and copy from it is no problem. If I log in as root I can write to it. How can I write to it without logging in as root?

[newbie] Mozilla craches KDE
Hi, I installed Mandrake 9 and Mozilla keeps hanging the system. The only solution I have found is to reboot using the computers power button. Has anyone else had the same problem? Or maybe someone has a solution? By the way, where in the file structure can I find Mozilla?

[newbie] accessing win2000 partition without samba
Hi everybody, I´m new here. I read somewhere that I can access my win2000 box without running Samba. It would be very easy to set up, I remember ,but it would not allow windows to access anything from the linux box. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it possible to read or read/write ntfs partitions using Mandrake 9?
