Re: [newbie] HP-8100 CDR-RW

[scheck]

You need a mount line in fstab for your CD-RW.
I mount my MS-DOS partitions from a seperate script (I don't want them to be
mounted every time) but the systnax should be similar.
First mkdir CDRW (or whatever you want to call it) in the directory /mnt
Then from bash type something like:

mount -t auto /dev/hdd /mnt/CDRW

You will have to modify the above to fit thesyntax used by /etc/fstab.  I can't
check right now because I'm in Windows (my family prefers it).

  Right click on the desktop, select 'New', then 'Filesystem Device'.
  Name it whatever you'd like then hit enter.  Click on the 'Device' tab
  and enter /dev/hdd.
 
  Should be all that's necessary!

 Thanks for the reply, but I have tried that and also tried it again. I get
 this message when I try to mount a CD:
 mount can't find /dev/hdd in /etc/fstab or  /etc/mtab

 Is there something else that I need to do?

[newbie] Modem Lock

[scheck]

I can dial my ISP as root using DIP.  When I try to dial as a user I get the following 
error:

PORT: terminal Port set to "/dev/ttyS1".
DIP: tty: lock:(/var/lock/LCK..ttyS1).
Permission Denied
DIP: can't open - problem with locking ttyS1

I think error is with file permissions of some type.  Any help would be great.

Re: [newbie] Re:Netscape Files

Yeah, I got it working.  It only fully works under 2.2.9-19mdk.  If I
try to use it under 2.2.9-27mdk wave files just give static.
You need to use the 2.2.5 version of emu10k1.
Hopefully someone can post the URL that gives decent directions.

 Thanks.

Re: [newbie] Memory not found

I believe you need to give your kernel the boot option: 'mem=256M'

 Hi,

 I recently installed Mandrake 6.0 on a Gateway PIII PC with 256 Mb ram.
 When I check the memory in use with the "top" command, it says I only have
 something like 64 Mb.  The appropriate KDE utility tells me the same thing.

 Is there some bug in the 2.2whatever kernel that it can't use the other 192
 Mb?  Is there some initialization file I need to change?  I intend to use
 this PC as a serious number-crunching workstation so I'd really like to use
 all the ram I paid for.

 Thanks...Greg Hackman
