RE: [newbie] Installing 7.0-2
look in the start up scripts ..its probably set to xinit instead of kdm, or gdm or just plain old xdm... toie -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2000 5:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Installing 7.0-2 Thanks to everyone that replied to my original question about installing Mandrake 7.0-2. I finally got it installed and KDE works! I had to go into EXPERT mode and select all the KDE, GNOME and other stuff I needed. But this was too big for the '/' partition that the automatic partitioner had set up so I had to go back and manualy partition the hard drive with enough room for all the new files. Thanks again [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed Mandrake 7.0-2. But I can't get it to boot up with KDE running. I selected KDE and GNOME to be loaded and to start in the graphics mode. But it starts up with 2 text terminal windows. Does anyone know what's wrong or how I can get KDE to run? Thanks for any help

RE: [newbie] linux-modem...hell on earth
please tell me how i can get it to work with linux!! -Original Message- From: e [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 11:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] linux-modem...hell on earth - Original Message - From: Eric Chauvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 11:34 AM Subject: RE: [newbie] linux-modem...hell on earth Unfortunately, That is a win modem. Look for a modem that clearly states that the controller is onboard. This will not only allow it to work under Linux, but it will also free resources in windows and allow connection under DOS. Simple rule, If it costs under $50.00 it's most likely a win-modem. no i dont think it is a winmodem its got legacy settings onboard the moedmand ive tried themirq 3 i/o2f8 its a 3com usr paid 120 dollars
RE: [newbie] Modem is up and Running THANK YOU!!
what does dmesg do for you??? im having a hay day with my modem... pulling my hair out.. toie -Original Message- From: maxtorator [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 2:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Modem is up and Running THANK YOU!! To all who replied: I must send a big THANK YOU to all that recently replied to my modem woes. I had to finally just go over to my friends house and try the tips that you all sent me. I found that "dmesg" is a very useful command. We used that to see if he was getting errors and found that the modem was not set up properly from just seeing that log. It was a very simple "fix" to get it working. But arent all of the problems simple. It seems that we ourselves tend to complicate things more than they really are. Microsoft has, in a sense, damaged all of our minds. But mine is making progress with leaps and bounds since I have seen the light in Linux. Maxtor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.maxtors.com
