[newbie] Unsubscription feature doesn't work?
Hi all, I was wondering if there's a problem with the mail server? I have made an unsubscription request 2 days ago, through the web page, and I'm still getting all the email. Does it take so long for the server to process the request maybe? GG
Re: [newbie] GET NT Services from Linux
Have you set your proxy to serve all these protocols? What proxy are you using? If it's a freeware one they sometimes only provide a fraction of the services you can have with a registered version, (like Sambar at www.sambar.com).

[newbie] Netscape files
Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible in a dual boot system (linux, win98) to have Netscape for Linux share the user files with Netscape for windows, in a way of telling the linux version to look for the user directory in /mnt/dos/.../Netscape user folder, effectively sharing mail, bookmarks, browser settings, and cache content between OS's. Is this possible? I haven't noticed any customizable user folder setting in Netscape for windows, but is there such a thing in Netscape for Linux? Or some other way to do it? Thanks in advance, GG
[newbie] KDE problems
Hi all, I have installed Mandrake 7.02 numerous times and I now have a pretty good feel of the buttons to push, I even do it with my eyes closed, hehe... Seriously, my problem is with KDEit seems to start up fine but just before the icons appear on screen, I get KFM error messages that 'this MIME type wasn't found' or something. I get as many messages as the MIME types supported, and when I OK all the windows, icons and taskbar finally appear. But all the icons on the Desktop are those papers with a question mark (probably general unknown icon?) and whatever I try to click gives me a window that asks what program to associate this link with. So I guess the KDE installation is incomplete, or corrupted. However, I noticed that everytime I do either an install or an upgrade, on reboot my root partition comes up with errors and a check is forced. During the check, many files (most in /var/spool) are changed to filetype 6. (yeah I know, I'm RTFM at the same time :-) Does this mean that my hard disk might have tons of bad sectors? (It WAS acting up somehow, before I decided to put linux on him). And if so, is there a way to mark them as such, prior to upgrading, and do a reinstallation on the healthy remaining disk? It seems that whenever I reinstall or upgrade, the same files get the same errors. I'm not even sure if these errors have anything to do with my KDE not working, but it seems very likely. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, GG
Re: [newbie] Mouse ok in console, but..
James, try reconfiguring Xwindows and change the baud rate of the mouse to 1200, that worked for me GG James wrote: Ok, now I have my mouse working just fine when I am in the console (just before issuing startX), but when I start Xwindows, my mouse cursor starts in the center of the gray window, but as soon as the background and icons appear, my cursor jumps off to the edge of the screen and moves up when I scroll down, and down when I scroll up, and opens and closes windows without me clicking. It's posessed. I'm running Mandrake 6.1. What is the reason for this, and is there a fix? It's strange that it behaves fine in the console window but freaks in Xwindows. Thanks. james
[newbie] Mandrake 7.0 - Installation screams 'error not enough space in partition /
Hello all, I just got a Mandrake 7.0 distribution from a computer magazine. It all goes well up to the point that it asks me for the packages I want to install. I had the disk auto-allocated, which gives me around 1409 Megs for the / partition. I chose "expert" installation (I'm not an expert, just a freak, hehe) and development type. After that point, the installation gives me an error saying more or less that the packages I chose are 1180 Megs in size and there's no space for all of them (like 1180 1409?) but I could go on anyway, just I won't get all packages installed. I OK this, to go on, and then I get a menu of package choices (Server, Development, Games, etc.) I choose the absolute minimum, which is 1180 Megs, and when I OK this too, I get an error that the .rpms could not be installed because of no space in / partition. This is weird cause I restarted after I partitioned, so there shouldn't be a problem for the installation to see the allocated space. Any ideas? Thanks in advance GG
Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.0 - Installation screams 'error notenough space in partition/
It is 7.0, but do you know for sure that this bug has been fixed in 7.0-2? Because I would like to have 7.0 running and upgrade it from there. Or else I'd have to download the update I guess, and I don't know what I should do in that case. I mean, where do I find and where do I save the update, since my medium is a CD. And (attn: guy named root) how do I list a partition empty? I would think it's already empty, I just created it GG Tony wrote: is this 7.0 or the fixed up version 7.0-2 "Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honeydew hath fed, And drunk the milk of paradise."
