Elwyn Well, other than the fact that you just answered your own question Elwyn, you need to transfer your mail to another machine and sort out some place to dump 8 Gb's of MP3 files. Which begs the question,...should we consider setting up our own private P2P system? But back to your question,. How is your hard drive partitioned now? Is the 80 Gb's of MP3's on a separate partition? If you decide to install 10.2, your /home folder should be fine as long as you don't attempt to change your partition sizes or to re-format your drive. The 10.2 installer should detect your existing partitions, and it will show you that the /home partition will not be formatted, unless you manually select it. Any other partitions which have atypical names (partitions names that Linux doesn't already have in it's own list), will also be left alone unless you tell the installer and/or diskdrake otherwise.

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.

Just seen the April Fool stories on Linux Today and I see that some of them are dated/timed AFTER midday on 1st April, in my part of the world (Derby, U.K) tradition has it that the trick must be played before noon, anyone playing the trick after noon is traditionally the Fool. does the tradition change according to which part of the world you are in ?

What amazes me is how much Microsoft charges for that kind of support! First they create the problem, and then the charge a fee to all those who are traumatized from their use of the it. Talk about creating your own market! After all, since they don't release their source code to the general public, no one can ever effectively solve a Microsoft-related problem.

Hi Tony, If you have your urpmi sources properly configured, you can just type 'urpmq kernel' in the konsole (or any other teminal), and it gill give you the available kernels. You can do it also using GUI (KDE, Gnome,...) : System-Configuration-Packages-Software Install (I am translating from Spanish, so the name of the menus may be slightly wrong) Any way, I can tell you that the latest kernel available in Mandrake Update is kernel-2.6.8.1.24mdk.

[newbie] network install
I have a desktop and a laptop on a network. I want to install mandrake on the desktop. My mandrake installation disk is a DVD. The desktop does not have a DVD drive, but the laptop does. So, I'm trying to use the laptop to 'server' the DVD to the desktop. Can someone help me here? I can find no documentation on ftpd. I installed the drakwizard.but the ftp option keeps failing, and the 'installation server' option, I don't understand. If I could even just ftp serve the /mnt/dvd drive then I think it would work.

You should be able to handle speed=4, use your numbers rather than the example 0,0,0 -dao is a must for .iso's Specially needed so the md5sum of the burned CD will check. With the burned CD in the drive, 'md5sum /dev/hdb' should return (might take a minute or so) the same md5sum as the iso file has. With marginal CD drives, you may need to try it several times before it succeeds. ...show your user name as a member of the cdwriter group? No problem burning other CDs both audio and data am currently using Mdk 10.1 Includin 700mb's ? If you can burn 650's, but not 700 you really need a better burner. Mandrake gave into the 650 crowd a few versions ago, but has since determined it's just not worth the inconvenience to the vast majority with decent burners. If you can't use 700's, get a new burner. Sometimes somone redoes the iso's to 650 an makes them available for FTP. I think the Mdk Club use to also do it. But don't hold your breath ;) I believe if you can run 'cdrecord dev=ATA:0,0,0 -atip' with a blank 700mb CDr in the drive, and it returns succesfully, info about cdrecord, your drive and the manufacturer of the blank Cdr... then you should be able to burn up to 703mb. I don't really know tho, even my (1997) 8432 Plextor could burn the cheapest 700's Your other option would be to d/l, IIRC, 'boot.iso' from a mirror, 'dd' it to a floppy and do an install from the iso's on your HDD. You'll need somebody or a tutorial that's knows more about that than me. I haven't done it in ages, an some changes have been made in the process for 10.2. You might be able to find out from the cooker ML archive or http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/wiki At a minimum you should read the 10.2 Release Notes. When/if you get 10.2 installed (an I'd recommend a fresh install saving your /home) magicdev will no longer be there, supermount is used only for floppy's. gnome-volume-manager in conjunction with HAL and dbus is the entirely user space daemon for handling removable media, like CD drives. As such it can't access certain things reserved to root. IE, as user: cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. The only work around is to burn as root, even with a GUI. You'll probly also need to run 'gnome-volume-properties' once as root and under the heading Removable Media, enable the first 3 (of the 4) options (if they aren't already). -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

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. Thanks for any help that you can provide Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 Have you considered that the card itself may not work? Has it worked with any other router? Mikkel Hi Mikkel. This card is brand new. It might be defective and I'm going to check into that, but I'm going to try connecting to another wireless router before I look at that as a possibility. That way, if I need to return it to the store, I won't be surprised when they test it. -- Mr. Geek Registered Linux User #190712 I have a similar SMC router and have used it for years. Would be more apt to suspect the RJ45 or Cat 5 wiring. Lee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] eMule for Mandrake
Sorry don't know your modem. One place to look is http://www.edonkey2000.com/documentation/u_genericrouter.html Here you will see (in the right hand nav menu - half way down) a list of popular modems and how to open up the ports with those modems. Now have a look at that, as the principle between all of them is the same and maybe you will see one that relates or looks similar to your modem.

You should be able to handle speed=4, use your numbers rather than the example 0,0,0 -dao is a must for .iso's Specially needed so the md5sum of the burned CD will check. With the burned CD in the drive, 'md5sum /dev/hdb' should return (might take a minute or so) the same md5sum as the iso file has. With marginal CD drives, you may need to try it several times before it succeeds. ...show your user name as a member of the cdwriter group? No problem burning other CDs both audio and data am currently using Mdk 10.1 Includin 700mb's ? If you can burn 650's, but not 700 you really need a better burner. Mandrake gave into the 650 crowd a few versions ago, but has since determined it's just not worth the inconvenience to the vast majority with decent burners. If you can't use 700's, get a new burner. Sometimes somone redoes the iso's to 650 an makes them available for FTP. I think the Mdk Club use to also do it. But don't hold your breath ;) I believe if you can run 'cdrecord dev=ATA:0,0,0 -atip' with a blank 700mb CDr in the drive, and it returns succesfully, info about cdrecord, your drive and the manufacturer of the blank Cdr... then you should be able to burn up to 703mb. I don't really know tho, even my (1997) 8432 Plextor could burn the cheapest 700's Your other option would be to d/l, IIRC, 'boot.iso' from a mirror, 'dd' it to a floppy and do an install from the iso's on your HDD. You'll need somebody or a tutorial that's knows more about that than me. I haven't done it in ages, an some changes have been made in the process for 10.2. You might be able to find out from the cooker ML archive or http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/wiki At a minimum you should read the 10.2 Release Notes. When/if you get 10.2 installed (an I'd recommend a fresh install saving your /home) magicdev will no longer be there, supermount is used only for floppy's. gnome-volume-manager in conjunction with HAL and dbus is the entirely user space daemon for handling removable media, like CD drives. As such it can't access certain things reserved to root. IE, as user: cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority(). cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns. The only work around is to burn as root, even with a GUI. You'll probly also need to run 'gnome-volume-properties' once as root and under the heading Removable Media, enable the first 3 (of the 4) options (if they aren't already). The error is definitely in the package that png file has a crc error btw thanks now at least I know how to burn without the GUI Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
