[newbie] OpenOffice - Database Section
Hi, Some of you may of heard of this via other mailing lists, but we need help raising money for the database section of OpenOffice in version 2.0. This may not be that important for end users, but is a major function needed for UK schools as most will not leave Microsoft Office without it. (Microsoft Access is highly imbedded into the curriculum here). We need to get Microsoft Office out of UK schools and this is the only way we will be able to make it possible!! For more information see: http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/openoffice.html Many Thanks, Jo -- Spread FireFox: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=user/registerr=32751 Get FireFox: http://www.getfirefox.com OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org Mandrake: http://www.mandrakelinux.com Karoshi: http://www.karoshi.org.uk Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] SUSE Pro 9.2 vs. Mandrake 10.1
Mandrake 10.1 comes with Opera on the dvd disk. Though it could be as I have the powerpack version ;) On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 22:26:32 -0800, Erylon Hines [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 24 January 2005 03:31 pm, Andy Yankovich wrote: | Please, do not assume this is apostasy. | | What are the main differences between SUSE Pro 9.2 and Mandrake | 10.1? | | SuSe isn't as cutting edge as Mandrake--the upside--most stuff works without hassles. Because it is cutting edge, things sometimes don't work as they are supposed to in Mandrake. Mandrake has far better configuration tools (IMO). Yast still sucks. SuSe has some pretty serious hardware requirements--I can get Mandrake to run fast (with KDE) on a P300. SuSe won't, and I can't figure out why--it is just slow. On the other hand, the Debian 2.6.7 kernel runs fine (KDE) on a P233. If you want to get more than just a basic system you need SuSe Pro. The download Demo disk is pretty basic.

Re: [newbie] winmodems
I agree get a router, and if you have more than one computer get a 4 port. Though be careful what they say on the boxes, our dsl router broke, so we went out to buy one, and ended up with something you put between your modem and your computer, the box said asdl router, but it wasn't that. Second time lucky and it works perfectly...funny enough that also said adsl router on the box!!!

There are some USB ADSL modems that will work with Linux such as the Alcatel SpeedTouch. But the bad news is that they rely on proprietary drivers and like all proprietary drivers there is no guarantee that they will be maintained in the future and will work with all kernels. If you have the choice I would strongly recommend getting an Ethernet connected single port ADSL modem/router. The price is much the same as a USB ADSL modem, and it will not need any driver at all. Just an Ethernet port on your computer. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] KDE upgrade
I installed KDE 3.3 bu doing the following: Copy all the KDE files into /tmp Login as root (for some reason there is a bug, may have been fixed now) that won't allow you to add media under other users. Go to Mdkc Control Centre (configure your computer) and add new media...eg the folder with kde in it. Once this is done go to install software Type in KDE Look for all the files with 3.3.* (* being your version) Add them, with a tick Click install. Sorry if this is to basic, just trying to put it in some sort of understandable order!!

In Mandrake 10.1 Official, I am trying to upgrade KDE to KDE3.3 which is on disk4 of the Download Edition. But my attempts have been a complete failure. I have tried everything that I can think of, using urpmi. None work. :( I also can't get Install Packages to find the new KDE on disk4. Tried all sorts of add media as well. So, PLEASE someone, in plain language, how does one install KDE3.3 from disk4? I don't need to keep KDE3.2. I can't find the answer in twiki or the archives. Very many thanks for any help.

Re: [newbie] Internet Radio on Linux Mandrake 10.1
I tried it with Mozilla and without popups, to test and it said no netscape allowed. So I don't think that is his problem. OT - Its nice to meet another linux girl/woman..
