[newbie] is this possible?
OK, here we go, I had a thought (Oh yes, even I can get them sometimes) this morning, I have a flatscreen monitor and has it connected with DVI to the video card, now my thought was to feed the picture from the card via S-Video or whatever to my TV and if so could it be done at the same time and how?

Your TV has an ethernet port?! You *are* good... Joe; I realise that you were just kidding with this last post, or being a smarta$$, but if Stephen doesn't mind, I'd like to bring you up to speed. First, Stephen was saying that he could view his AVI's on his *network*, which means he could view them on other PC's. However, it is not only possible, but the technology is already available to stream multi-media to TV's and DVR/PVR's via networked set-top boxes. Second, there's a plethora of AGP video cards available (it would seem from your post that they are not available in the GTA however! Grin!), with TV or DVI outputs, which can then be connected to a TV or Plasma Screen. Once that's done, you can connect the sound output from that PC to your stereo or surround-sound system and Voila! You now have a Home Theater which is actually a PC (which may or may not store the media locally). In fact, you should also take a look at Freevo or Freevix so that you can learn about the various HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) interfaces which are available for Linux. Hell, even Microsoft has released an add-on for WinBlow$ XP that adds an HTPC interface to a WindowsXP PC to provide all the functionality required. Personally, I use my laptop (HP ZD7000) for just this purpose. It includes SVHS and Surround-Sound outputs which I connect into my home entertainment system. All of this is networked to my server which is currently storing about 200 ripped movies. Really, Joe. You've got to stop spending too much time with your head in that large tub of sand in your living room, Dude! You're missing out on all the fun. While you're at it, you should have a look at the Via Arena site to see how a lot of enthusiasts are connecting Car PC's to their home-media networks by wireless connections to update music and video content as well as weather and map information to their car PC systems.

[newbie] Is it possible to convert the kernel into another one?
Hi. I used to have Mdk 9.1; then I did a new partition in which I installed Mdk 10.1 CE. Because of something wrong I did in the installation, it influenced 9.1, which became 10.1, with its old 2.4.21-0.13mdk kernel changed into new 2.6.8.1-10mdk 10.1 kernel. Is it possible to have the old kernel back, and how? I tried to delete and re-create the files in the /boot directory, but with no success: after booting the 2.6.8.1-10mdk kernel is always restored again.

[newbie] Is it possible to install 9.1 PPC on G4 Quicksilver?
Hail Mandrake Users, After successfully installing Madrake Linux 9.1 in an old (Bondi Blue) iMac, I decided to purchase a second IDE hard drive, and proceeded to try and install Mandrake on my main machine: a G4 Quicksilver Dual 1.25Ghz. Once the installation process reaches the *second stage install*, my 17-inch Apple Studio Display goes black, and the *on* button starts flashing, signalling a dead video signal. I have tried *every* possible graphical installation listed in yaboot, including *install-gui-benh*, *install-gui-old*, and several *video=* parameters (ofonly,radeonfb,ati,atyfb,atyfb128, etc.). After many frustrating re-starts, I finally decided to try and perform a text-based install. All goes well, until I reach the section where I'm asked whether I have a *drive/scsi device*: - I answer *yes* - I'm presented with a list of possible drivers, from which I pick *MESH* - I'm told that autodetection of the module FAILS, and that I'm supposed to enter parameters manually... Not being THAT technical (at all), I cannot understand what the parameters that I'm supposed to enter mean... So, installation fails - the installer tells me that it cannot find a device to setup a file system onto... I've tried using ALL other drivers in the driver list (apart from MESH), just in case one of them might be able to autodetect one of my internal drives successfully, but NONE works (at least, not in text-install)... So, I'm at a total loss: I cannot find a way to install 9.1 GRAPHICALLY, and I am not able of succeeding with the text-based installation... CAN ANYONE PLEASE PROVIDE ANY HINTS OR SUGGESTIONS? My hardware specs are: PowerMacintosh G4 Quicksilver - Dual 1.25Ghz 1Gb RAM ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Video Card (64Mb) Apple 17 Studio Display (LCD) 110Gb IBM IDE drive (Master, with OS X installed) 13Gb Quantum Fireball (Slave, waiting for Mandrake 9.1...)

I can guess your problem ~/.vnc/xstartup needs to be executable ~/.vnc/passwd need to have read permissions for user only. Here is some other info that may be useful --- 1/ I use tightvnc-server and tightvnc from Mandrake 9.0 install CDs Tightvnc is compatible with vnc but is more secure/bandwidth efficient. 2/ My ~/.vnc/xstartup looks like this : (Make it executable) #!/bin/bash startkde #fluxbox (I normally use fluxbox over vnc. It is faster) 3/ Run vnspasswd to set the password. It is saved in ~/.vnc/passwd . Make it readable only to the user. 4/ Start vncserver with vncserver -depth 16 -geometry 800x600 :1 Setting geometry avoids having a window larger than the remote screen. Setting colour depth limits bandwidth use. 16 bits uses twice as much bandwidth as 8 bits, and half as much as 32 bits. The geometry and depth may also be set by the viewer. Whichever has the lowest requirement will get what they want. Forcing the screen number makes it easier to know which screen to kill later on. 5/ Always close the vnc session before logging off or else files get left behind preventing it starting next time vncserver -kill :1 6/ Starting vncserver as a service is preferable, because then it is tidied up properly when the server is shut down. service vncserver start You can use Mandrake Control Centre to do this if you wish. The file /etc/sysconfig/vncservers defines which servers are started.

Not much problems at all. I had to change the config file in .transgaming though. It had some odd (to me) entry for the CD-ROM here. So I changed it to reflect my actual setup. With supermount not working here (I'm still with 8.1 until I get my Mandrake 8.2 pre-order in), I did have to do some manual mount/umount stuff during CD swapping. No big deal though. I even ran the v1.09d upgrade patch and it worked fine. Note that now I'm fully and completely Microsoft free. I'm running all these games from Linux native partitions. I had one networking session with D2 lock up on me. I'm not sure why. Its only did it the one time. PS Maybe the upcoming Winex 2.0 release will fix/cure some of the current issues.

Hi,
after mixed up my tiny System, by selecting the "install all option" (wich was
not to much by harddisc-space, but it completely breaks out ma System), and
trying to compile a few programs without noing what I was doing, I decided to
reinstall ('nother reason for that, was to change partitions, getting more
space for all those programs in /usr).
Since I reinstalled (LM 6.5 on an PI-75mHz, 40M-Ram) the thing is flying (as
good as scrap can), but there is no "make" command or compiler ( egc++, or
something simmylar I searched for in /usr/bin, correct place to search for,

Joerg
Use custom install. It should have all the development and compilers in
the install list then. Otherwise, if you can get into KDE, you can look
at the cd rom and install the RPMs there.
