Wow...never knew something like xman existed. i'm impressed! Been using Linux for about 4 years...and I never knew there were so many commands!

I never needed a book like "Unix for dos users", "Unix for dummies", or any of that kind of material, but the Nutshell books are definitely worthwhile for beginners. Also, try running xman This tool brings up a gui for man pages with nicely formatted or laid out categories. cp = copy rm = remove or del or delete mv = move or rename cd = chdir ls = dir (but there are many options so check the man page, "man ls") ls -F = ls with / and @ and * at the ends of names of directories, symbolic links and executables ls -l = ls with long listing format df = filesystem space usage and availability as well as mapping du = disk space usage etcetera The Nutshell books are worthwhile. I haven't looked at the one for Linux and haven't needed it, because I have the one for Unix, plus know about the various sources of free documentation, but compare the two and purchase the one which seems most suitable. mike Dreja Julag wrote: In the redhat manual, there is usually a list of commands.

Though enabling sound in KDE Control Centre and trying to play any sounds or having sound enabled in Windows through VMware, freezes linux at a point when sound and a command are occuring at the same time. The only way to escape this freeze is to totally reboot and go through a forced check, very time consuming. I have compiled several kernels in the past, but each time I select my sound card either modulized or not, or even with different settings, everytime it is failing and eventually I need to recompile with no sound card selected and use 'soundconfig' in an Xterm. Lothar was just the same, could see the card, knew the settings, but as soon as you press enter a 'FAIL' comes up and no matter what changes you make to the settings it always comes back the same.

Re: [newbie] Odd install problem --- did not set up X

Re: RV: [newbie] 3Com 3CXe589E PCMCIA ETHERNET CARD
the pcmcia services ARE running right?

FIRST, at linux installation (when it asks if you want to configure the net),it recognizes the card and actually it is supposed to make it work in order to download something (crypt...) from an ftp site. It says pcmcia probe found 1 net devices, found driver for 3c589_cs insmod /modules/pcmcia_core.o.insmod/modules/3c589_cs.o ... it finishes installing linux succesfully and restarts.. WHEN it tries to find module dependencies it shows nothing about pcmcia, and when it comes up to network inicialization it says: network inicialization delayed...[failed] AFTER logging in, if I run "cardctl ident" it says "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices", and when I run "cardctl config" it says the same thing, when it is supposed to say something about the cards it detects. WHAT i think is that this kernel version (2.2.14-1mdklinus) does't support pcmcia or at list doesn't have the correct modules, because it doesn't even have a "pcmcia" subdirectory (/lib/modules/2.2.14-1mdklinus/pcmcia) where i can find "pcmcia_core.o" and "3c589_cs.o" in order to run: "insmod [directory] pcmcia_core.o" What I tried is: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-12mdk/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o, and the answer was: "kernel-module version mismatch /lib/modules/2.2.14-12mdk/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.14-15mdk while this kernel is version 2.2.14-1mdklinus" BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VERSION (2.2.14-1mdklinus) DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING LIKE "pcmcia_core.o" or "3c589_cs.o" IN ITS LIBRARIES.

Re: [newbie]
Hello, I have the EXACT same pcmcia network card. One little suggestion for you, don't try installing Mandrake 6.1 on your laptopthe network card is really difficult to get working (been working on it for the past 4 days). Now, to your question, have you made sure that in the setup menu you've got pcmcia services running? I found that the services run by default in Mandrake 7.02 are extremely limited. In 6.1 they run many more services. And I'm pretty sure you have to stop the service before ejecting the card. could be wrong though.
