Re: [newbie] Fixing Ugly Fonts corrected with Verdana ref font in Control Center
hy everybody! someone posted to be cautious with the fonts, well, he was RIGHT!!! my xserver refused to start with couldnt find fixed fonts, but that was about three restarts after i changed the fonts. i read on mandrakeuser.og that it is a problem with finding that particular font and to do this and that, but the simplest thing to do when this happens: start XFdrak, run through it, when its done get X running: startx, goto kde control center and reset the font properties, to get the fixed font back to normal and your xserver will restart again with every reboot.. now my problem is how i change that fixed font and get the xserver running.. greetings Am Montag, 28.

Re: [newbie] suspend to ram
hy, thats a good explanation, but one thing is wrong: the ram is still under electricity, nothing else. no fan, no disks, no video, nothing--no noise. when re-powering no boot is necessary and the computer is redy in some seconds. regards Am Dienstag, 29.

Re: [newbie] terrible browser fonts
ok, i think i got it now! drakfont, import the windows fonts. kde control center-fonts- switch everything to i.e. arial, but not the fixed font (dont know how to change this one with x server still starting. then look and feel-styles - UNCHECK antialias (its fucking ugly). then in the kde appls change the font to arial for example. thats it. i think the fixed font has to be changed in the xf86config,but im not sure how. gonna ask the experts list. regards Am Dienstag, 29.

I've been following this thread with interest because I am similarly afflicted. I don't recall needing to install windows fonts in earlier versions of Mandrake, nor do I have Windows around to install fonts from, so I can't take this particular step. My assumption from this is that there is a bug in Mandrake 8.0 that they ought to fix with an update somewhere down the line. Can anyone confirm or deny my assumption? Thx, I have no problems, anti-aliasing took care of file browser fonts. I use the fonts that came with MD 8.0, not imported or removed any. The only problem I ever had was of my own making - when I installed I selected the wrong resolution/colour depth and had terrible Konqueror/Netscape fonts, when I corrected this to 1024x768 and maximum colours (64bit IIRC) the problem went away (- note these settings are for my monitor/graphics card your's may be different)
Re: [newbie] suspend to ram
ok, i mean suspend to ram under windows 98 i.e. with desktop computers. with laptops it might be different, as every laptop-manufacturer does its own solution and suspend was realized long before win could do it. so it is done by bios or proprietary programs. but i think that the method of windows like suspend to ram would be good for any laptop too. regards Am Dienstag, 29. Mai 2001 17:40 schrieb James Bond: Actually, that's not true. You can remove the battery from a laptop and unplug it as well and hibernated data will still be there because it is stored on the hard drive. A hibernated computer uses no electricity whatsoever. The time saving comes from the fact that drivers and startup programs don't have to be loaded. They are just read from a file on the hard drive straight into ram and the boot process is therefore skipped.

Re: [newbie] A good Motherboard
hy, i dont know if there are special drivers for linux but the asus a7v133 has 4 ide channels. 2 are normal ide's, so they work under linux for sure. the other 2 are controlled by a promise chip (for win98 you need a driver from promise for them). the connectors can be used to access 4 ide peripherals, or the 2 primary ide's can be used to build a raid-0 array. regards mp Am Montag, 28.

Re: [newbie] Modems?
hy! any non-winmodem(=every external modem) with a serial connector is easy to use with any linux (with any os)! with usb modems i dont know. external serial modems never need any software, they are all accessible via hayes-codes i.e. atz means reset, atdt 02020 means dial tone 02020, what makes the modem dial the number 02020. the only difference in setup between different external-serial modems is the different init-string the modem need. nowadays a simple atz should work fine for every modem. consider cable or t1, 56k is very slow. regards, mp Am Sonntag, 27.

RE: [newbie] Installing Linux-Mandrake 7.1 on Windows Me
Subject: [newbie] Installing Linux-Mandrake 7.1 on Windows Me Is there a way around the idiotic no MS-DOS program installed to demoralize users on Windows Me, aside from uninstalling? I just bought this thing, mainly because I wasn't that impressed with Red Hat. However, I can not install due to Window's Me. I'm thinking I could just boot from CD and install that way, like I did with Red Hat, but not totally sure, as there is two CD's and don't want to mess anything up.. Oh, for clarification's sake, here's my specs Im running Windows ME also and just successfully installed LM 7.1 from the bootable CD. Grub works like a charm for dual booting. I have had problems with my soundcard config though. didnt work at all at first but after running sndconfig it kinda works.. it at least plays the test sounds and will play music cds . I just cant get the system sounds working in KDE or Gnome.
