I believe the level he chose only allows you to log in as root using `su`. I ran into this problem and tried logging in cowboy ssh style from work. Wouldn't let me in. Rejected all stuff from outside my local net. Checked hosts.allow and hosts.deny and they were pretty tight on permissions, to the tune of "Reject everyone outside of the local net". Had to throw this in: sshd sshd1 sshd2 : ALL : ALLOW Wow, rambling. Sorry. B Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

BTW, for my learning, I have a server (off the Internet) that I've set to the lowest level of security, just to make my learning a little easier -- learn how to make things work without security and then deal with the security afterwards. Maybe not the smartest / best way, but it's too frustrating to have a lot of variables all floating around at the same time. An example of why it's not the best way (maybe) -- you can get an insecure mail server to send mail fairly easily. When you enable security (some type of security) your faced with the anonymous relaying problem -- and now, what you so carefully got to work requires reworking. Oh well, sooner or later I'll get this stuff. Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I dl'd 8.2 and installed it. I created another user acct besides root to play with it. I ran the Mandrake update right after I installed it, updated everything it said to and logged out. The KDE login comes up, I can log in with my normal user and everything is fine, but when I try to log in with my root user, the KDE l;ogin tells me login failed. But as my normal user logged in I can su using the root password and it works. What have I done? Thanks Jack Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Newbie Question
The inst package will create a bootable CD for you that will install the basic Mandrake system. The ext package contains hundreds of RPM packages that you will probably want to install so that you have a fully operating system. ...Dave Quoting Lúcio Costa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, folks !!! > > Can Anyone tell me what is the real difference between > Mandrake80-inst.iso and Mandrake80-ext.iso > > I'm downloading this, can You tell me something about it. > > > Lúcio Costa > > São Paulo/Brazil

The -inst.iso file is the first (bootable) CD. -ext.iso is the second CD.

Re: [newbie] Newbie Question
Lucio, Mandrake80-inst.iso is the image to actually install LM 8.0 on your computer, whereas Mandrake80-ext.iso is the image for the extra applications not necessary to install and run LM 8.0. You don't actually need the -ext image to be able to install and use LM 8.0, just the -inst one.

[newbie] Newbie Question
Hey there, my apologies for not lurking a while before posting a question, but I have an easy newbie question concerning distributed computing. I recently installed Madrake 7.0 on a P166 w/ 32 M running KDE with a "normal" configuration. Until I get a web-server up and running, I downloaded and installed the SETI@Home distributed computing project to run alongside my Wintel PCs. While doing a "top" today, I noticed that my CPU utilization was up around 98% and my memory was topping out at around 40%. I remember once reading that admins should be discouraged from using 3GL screen savers because they put such a stress on CPU's, and I'm wondering if running SETI@Home can have longterm damaging consequences related to heat et al. A 98% utilization rate seemed a little high to me. Would this be something that reducing the 'nice' value could help to alleviate?

You can find lots of usefull informations at http://www.mandrakeuser.org And there are a lot of good books too. I have one called "linux expert ressources" that helped me a lot. There is also the "linux bible". No doubt other people will provide good titles too.

Yes. There is. If you installed the appropriate tools, type XF86Setup at a root prompt, and it will bring up the config program. Once you ared done with it, type startx, and it SHOULD work.
