Works perfectly and is in fact less of a security risk than nfs and having my remote filesystems mounted all the time. I noticed that konq in kde3.1.3 handles javascript better now than mozilla doesnow e-banking was the last I used Moz for so that's gone too. Haven't checked Flash yet tho. Mind you this is all 9.2rc1 and a cooker mix on top. Good luck, HarM Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

> Anyway, how do I burn an ISO image in Linux? You could use one of the gui's, but here is my favorite way (a la Tom Brinkman) If you burn a lot of iso's, make an alias: alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -dao' then biso file.iso You'll have to change speed and dev=x,x,x to fit your needs. Speed: Many people say use half what your drive says it will do. If you aint in a hurry, use less. cdrecord -scanbus will tell you the dev #'s for your writer. -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Join the content organization discussion: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/WebIndex Join the General Wiki Development discussion: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/DevelopingTheMandrakeCommunity#Discussion Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Downloading a huge file - burning an ISO
The answer to this is "yes". It downloads it to a tmp directory in /. I only have 691 megs of free space there and the file is 694. I couldn't figure out how to bypass the temp file transfer. I remember someone saying something about Konquerer being able to act like a file transfer over the net (with split windows). I tried that and it worked flawlessly (he was right, Konquerer rocks). Konquerer will even resume a failed download whereas Mozilla dl manager does not. The reason I do not use Konquerer as my main web browser is that some of the links appear in yellow and vry hard to read. I cannot figure out how to fix it (any ideas?). Anyway, how do I burn an ISO image in Linux?

You can also set this, I think in the environment variables for your shell.

The crux was/is you can use rsync to download the missing or broken parts so you will not need to download the whole thing. Here's the link to a nice howto, that'll work for the knoppix Dload to if changed appropiately. http://cybercfo.gkmweb.com/rsync-mandrakeiso.html Works like a charm. Good luck, HarM Btw for dloading I always have excellent results with konqueror. I use 2 panes side by side, one /home/triade/dloads/ and the other the remote ftp site.

[newbie] Downloading a huge file
Hi All, I am trying to dl Knoppix so I can try it on a laptop we have. However, it gets to about 20 secs left to go then tells me that there is not enough disk space left. I am dl it to my home directory which is 19gigs (mostly free), the file is only 650megs. Can anyone tell me why this won't let me do it? I am using Mozilla dl manager if that matters.
