Thanks Elwyn Supposed to be released on the 6th, but they have not hit a date yet so it will be soon after.Cooker is the incubator that they develop the next OS release. It is very much cutting edge and could as easy as not have bugs in individual packages. Once they decide that all of the packages that are going to go in the next release have been decided on then the developers start concentrating on bugs. A good stable release will evolve after about the 2nd or third update in my experience and that may be 2 to 5 weeks after the official release.

The instructions from easyurpmi set up your sources. You then need to use urpmi or Software Installer to do the updates - either way you will see it happening. If you haven't installed slocate, do so. ISTR that you also have to add yourself to the slocate group (userdrake, to do that). Then, from a console you can type slocate packagename and you will see all the packages with that name in - including the docs - so you will see which version you have installed.

Robert Yu wrote: Is it possible to save the packages downloaded from this site onto a cache folder for later use? You can download the packages using ftp or something similar, and then, when they are all sitting in a directory, call up a root shell and go to the directory and type the following: genhdlist --dest `pwd` If you get errors, then type the following in order to ignore corrupted archives: genhdlist --nobadrpm --dest `pwd` Then, when it has completed, run Mandrake Control Centre and go to media manager and set up the directory as a source. It works for me. I just ignore the whining about checksums and click on yes and then the stuff installs straight from rpmdrake. urpmi should pick it up too, although I usually use the GUII tool for this one. cheers Duncan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] SMC Barricade
Well, here's another weird one for the list. I recently bought a Linksys Wireless card and it's working quite well, but of course, there's one little problem. The card is unable to receive packets from the SMC router. I've tried it with and without DHCP, and with or without WEP. The SMC Barricade is an 11Mbps, 3-Port router with a print-server (not in use for now). I am able to get an IP address for the Linksys card from the router (Model # SMC7004AWBR), and KNemo shows that the card is sending packets to the router and that there's a connection at the proper speed, but the card is not receiving from the router. Just to simplify this, the problem doesn't seem related to Linux or Windows, since I'm getting the same problem in either OS. Meanwhile, my wired connection from the same system works fine. Wireless networking was working fine on the router the last time it was in use, even though an occasional reboot of the router was required. I've tried it before and after updating the firmware, and I've reset the router to default settings about 35 times, and still 'No Joy'! Even using the default settings, my wired connection is fine and the wireless card is getting an IP address from the router. But the wireless card can't successfully ping the router. If anyone has had any previous experience with this unit, I'd appreciate any suggestions they might have. I have yet to take my laptop out to another wireless zone to see if it connects and that's probably next on my list of things to try, but hopefully, there's something I'm missing. Personally, I suspect that the problem is due to the RTS/CTS Fragmentation settings, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them in the router and I can't find the spec's for them on Google or at SMC.

Could somebody here please give me some directions? You can indeed. However, commercial dvds are encoded, and thanks to the legal implications Mandrake cannot give you the packages you need. PLF supply Mandrake packages to deal with this situation. So - 1) Go to easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions there to make sure you have a plf source - while you are there it would pay you to grab one source from each of the sections listed. A long chain of commands will be given to you to paste into a root console. It does take a while for that to complete, so be patient until it has finished. Using urpmi from the command line or Software Installer as a gui will now give you a whole raft of possibilities you didn't have before. 2) If you have xine installed, uninstall it. 3) Get the xine packages from the plf site - if you use Software Installer make sure you have enabled Maximum Information. You also need decss and any codecs you can find, to give you maximum flexibility. Install them in the usual way and you should be fine.

Re: [newbie] SMC Barricade
Mr. Geek wrote: Well, here's another weird one for the list. I recently bought a Linksys Wireless card and it's working quite well, but of course, there's one little problem. The card is unable to receive packets from the SMC router. I've tried it with and without DHCP, and with or without WEP. The SMC Barricade is an 11Mbps, 3-Port router with a print-server (not in use for now). I am able to get an IP address for the Linksys card from the router (Model # SMC7004AWBR), and KNemo shows that the card is sending packets to the router and that there's a connection at the proper speed, but the card is not receiving from the router. Just to simplify this, the problem doesn't seem related to Linux or Windows, since I'm getting the same problem in either OS. Meanwhile, my wired connection from the same system works fine. Wireless networking was working fine on the router the last time it was in use, even though an occasional reboot of the router was required. I've tried it before and after updating the firmware, and I've reset the router to default settings about 35 times, and still 'No Joy'! Even using the default settings, my wired connection is fine and the wireless card is getting an IP address from the router. But the wireless card can't successfully ping the router. If anyone has had any previous experience with this unit, I'd appreciate any suggestions they might have. I have yet to take my laptop out to another wireless zone to see if it connects and that's probably next on my list of things to try, but hopefully, there's something I'm missing. Personally, I suspect that the problem is due to the RTS/CTS Fragmentation settings, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them in the router and I can't find the spec's for them on Google or at SMC.

Re: [newbie] Playing dvd movies on a computer
On Apr 1, 2005 3:05 PM, Anne Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I do not have a dvd player, but I have heard that it is possible to use the computer dvd recorder to play dvd movies. Could somebody here please give me some directions? You can indeed. However, commercial dvds are encoded, and thanks to the legal implications Mandrake cannot give you the packages you need. PLF supply Mandrake packages to deal with this situation. So - 1) Go to easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions there to make sure you have a plf source - while you are there it would pay you to grab one source from each of the sections listed. A long chain of commands will be given to you to paste into a root console. It does take a while for that to complete, so be patient until it has finished. Using urpmi from the command line or Software Installer as a gui will now give you a whole raft of possibilities you didn't have before. 2) If you have xine installed, uninstall it. 3) Get the xine packages from the plf site - if you use Software Installer make sure you have enabled Maximum Information. You also need decss and any codecs you can find, to give you maximum flexibility. Install them in the usual way and you should be fine. Thanks, Anne and Ian.

If you are trying to burn an ISO omage that you have downloaded, you need to pick tools, CD, Burn CD image. Now, I have heard that you can also run into problems burning CDs with k3b as a user if you haven't gone through the configuration first - you have to set some parmissions and it will ask you for the root password to do it...

I am a member of Mandrake Online. I am not even sure that DrWeb is installed on my machine. There is not application icon or menu item. DrWeb was supposed to send me a disk but did not, apparently because the software is already installed. I have a connection in Konqueror, but it is of no help. Can you help me out? I prefer that you send your reply to the email address listed below my name. Thank you. Sincerely, Edward E. Rochon [EMAIL PROTECTED] DrWeb is a commercial application to search for Windows viruses on a Linux mailserver. Mandrake Soft include an RPM package for Drweb on the Commercial CD of the Mandrake Powerpack boxed set. If you have a Powerpack you will find the rpm package on disc 4. Just click on the rpm package with konqueror and it will install. Also on the CDs are drweb mail filter packages for the various mail servers, Sendmail,Postfix, Courier etc. You should install the appropriate mail filter package for the mail server you are running. If you do not have a Powerpack then the drweb packages can be downloaded from MandrakeClub if you are a member or directly from the DrWeb download site at http://download.drweb.com/unix/Mandrake+Linux+10/ clicking on the rpm packages with konqueror will install them. However you get the packages drweb will not work until you have purchased a key from them. As for your other questions. Mandrake Expert allows you to ask 'paid for' questions, or 'no charge' community questions where you may (or may not) get an answer from any member of the Mandrake Community. In any case you are not likely to get an answer from Mandrake Expert about DrWeb since it is not a Mandrake product and not part of the official distro. MandrakeOnline is an entirely separate service to provide you with warning of available security updates. Once you have Dr Web installed I doubt if you will see an icon or menu entry because it is a 'daemon' that runs in background in conjunction with a mail server. I expect if you open MandrakeControlCentreSystemServices you would see a button to start the DrWeb service. I assume you know that there are effectively no Linux viruses, so the only point of using a virus scanner on Linux is to protect Windows users who fetch their mail from a Linux mailserver. There are other virus scanners available for Linux mailservers such as ClamAV which are open source and totally free. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Where do you think the Brazilians came from? Rome had been there.
Etruscans had been there. Phoenicians had been there. Egyptians had been
there. The Atlanteans had been there, the Polynesians had been there.
Needless to say, though, I have inside information that Josenildo
actually runs IBM OS/2 Warp4 and he's been pulling everyone's leg from
the beginning of this annual exercise - just to get at Anne.

I had a Processor Technology Sol PC, which morphed into a more normal
S100 bus machine that I used until a short while after 19851102, the
birth date of my Amiga 1000. I adopted Amigas to my heart - and
still rather like them and their UI innovations. (Liked Amigas so
much I even added a Linux kernel hack for correctly reading Amiga
hard disk partitions. That was easy since I wrote the most commonly
used Amiga hard disk partitioning tool.)
