[newbie] PLEASE READ: etiquette and Welcome messages: was [OT] Yet another MS threat
Eric might also be interested to know that your candy ass was spanked so bad on the OT list that you ran back over here. I have been staying out of these threads but i have seen my name mentioned a couple times and i want to clear a few things up: I do not by any means moderate this list or punish people with removal. The only time i have removed people that didn't ask for it was an occasional vacationer that set up return message. Bad addresses are (now) handled by a script that i have never even seen and don't have control over. The only reason i was given the ability to sign people on and off was because: 1. i am here and the owners of the list aren't usually subscribed. 2. I was more likely to see when someone needed help. 3. I volunteered. (As a side note: for the experts out there, i don't have subscription powers on expert, just newbie). As for the etiquette rules, those are on the Twiki, and we came up with those as a group. The welcome message was written by several of us to be helpful, and i volunteered to to have my machine send it, which has nothing to do with moderation or anything else. Hopefully this clears some things up, especially for the newer people here. Eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Please help... Getting blank screen after pressing enter during installation...
I was so eager to install MAndrake, but it's not working for me. What happens is that if I boot from the CDROM I get a welcome screen, if I press Enter to install Linux, the screen goes blank (black) and nothing happens! If I choose text install it works, that is the installation, but if I reboot, the screen goes blank after I choose linux from teh boot loader. This is how my system is setup: Disk1: 1-10GB Primary partition, WinXP Pro, NTFS 11-40 - free space that I want to use to install Linux on CPU: P4: 2.4Ghz RAM: 1Gb video card: Nvidia geForce4 Ti4200 sound card: Creamware Luna II Total hd space: 320 Gb (3 disks) Motherboard and chipset: Asus P4S8X with SiS648 chipset Please help :-) Luke

Should i try creating the partitions again or would you recommend formatting the whole hard disk and starting fresh. i dont really want that.Thats about it i think. If you cant help Thankyou anyway. Frazer Well, you have a media-vs-drive error on the CD drive. It could be media (the CD) or it could be the drive or it could be the speed at which you are running the drive. It has little or nothing to do with your partitioning. It may have been a download or burning problem as well but also it may be that you are using a CDRW which generally makes lousy boot CDs, CD-R being a much better media for iso files. Did you do a google search for md5sum and get the windows equivalent to check the disk against the md5sum provided on the web? If your iso files check with the md5sum, then we can eliminate the possibility of a transmission error and move on to either media or CD drive. My personal luck has not been good with downloads and CDs. GEnerally I download an iso and burn at three different speeds and try all three and generally I have ONE of those three that will read reliably on another drive. Sometimes CDs I burn on a CDRW won't read cleanly on the CDRW drive itself. I have four burners and about a dozen test drives PD, CD, and DVD, and I get maybe 10% of my burns to read on all of them, and at least 40% of my burns will not read cleanly (data error somewhere) on at least half of my drives. By the way, best approach with PM is to make only the windows partition and leave the rest of the drive unpartitioned, and ditch BootMagic altogether, because Diskdrake can make partitions for you and LILO and GRUB can boot just about any system there is and the mandrake tools for configuring them gives you an easy GUI. If you use BootMagic, you can expect to spend a lot of time fixing what BootMagic does, and the number of folk here who know enough about it here to help will be much smaller than the number who can advise you about LILO or GRUB.

Frazer Welcome to the land of free choice Frazer. I've had a similar problem a few times with downloaded applications, and once (I think it was Mandrake 7.2 Freq) with the operating system disks. Thankfully (I hate coasters) I hadn't burned them to disk; just (tried) mount from a spare hard drive and attempt to install from there. Corrupt download. The second download went swimmingly well for the install. Many times it's a bad download as has already been suggested, but it may also be memory that's good enough for Windows but isn't up to spec in some way. As a not quite so side issue; lose boot magic. It's something you don't need since Mandrake and all other distributions of GNU/Linux come with Lilo (LinuxLoader) and Grub (you just need to choose one) and they'll control booting of however many operating systems you want to try. I wouldn't use Partition Magic again either since DiskDrake will do the same thing without costing you money. It won't eat Windows unless you tell it to. But that's just me. I've managed to help people install Mandrake a few times, and many are eager to rush out and acquire a copy of a partition manager when it's not necessary. It's just a sign of the brainwashing everyone has been subjected to by the marketing drones of the Wintel empire that even when people are thinking about leaving the aggravation behind they can't forget about applications/utilities written to do things that a proper operating system would do for itself or at least include utilities to deal with the need. The way GNU/Linux does and Windows can't. The list archives have many posts dealing with memtest and it's uses and I'd check for a hardware problem as the second thing to do. The first is to be sure that your download disks aren't corrupted. Reading as many posts in the list archives will be invaluable to you in many ways. You'll learn things from reading the posts that you won't realize until you run across something and the light suddenly comes on. OH *that's* what that meant! Holler when you need to, there are a lot of intelligent and helpful people here that can help get you moving the direction you want. I wish I were one of them. :-) Good luck. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Our reruns are better than theirs. -- Nick at Nite Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] please help
Hey all, [Dave !! Jimmy did fine. The English did the job by conveying the message.] There are several types of installations. Usually booting off the CD and following the prompts on the screen is the best method. MandrakeLinux is able to detect most of the common hardware found in machines. However, there are exceptions and you'll want to check Mandrake's site to make sure your hardware is supported. Near the end of the installation you'll be asked during the install if you want the machine to boot into X window system. Just answer no if you don't want to go directly into it. There are great websites on using Mandrake. These will be available when you launch Konqueror. The best method is to use a search engine (such as google) and type in keywords. In terms of a good text editor - Mandrake installs some very good ones. There are gui and non gui editors. So - take your pick from the lot that are installed. Of course, any die-hard Linux fan is going to remind you to take the time to learn the command line and learn Vi. BTW: Don't forget to purchase a boxed set. You'll get a hard copy of manuals which are very valuable. Good luck On Sun, 31 Mar 2002 21:04:48 -0500 David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jimmy, Hey man, punctuation works wonders!!!

RE: [newbie] Please HELP !
Michael S, Your best bet as far as the kernel is concerned is to take a look at the kernel howto on linuxdoc.org, if you want to build from .tar.gz source. If you installed kernel-source (check by doing rpm -qa | grep kernel), the source files are under /usr/src/linux-whatever (where whatever is the version number of the kernel you have installed--for example, I have kernel 2.2.19 installed, so the sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.2.19.)

On the W2k it works fine ... Please help me if you can i need some guide for stupid - some Dummies guide to install Linux connecting NT RAS server with Callback Thanks a lot in advance.

yes. (su to root) 'hdparm -i /dev/hd*' will read the information
from your harddrive's (HDD) firmware (bios). Much of this information
is useful in guessing at which hdparm options will best optimize your
HDD.
Once you've determined the best options by running 'hdparm -tT
/dev/hd*', that hdparm line can be added to the end of your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file to optimize your HDD on every boot.
EG (I have this line at the tail of rc.local for my old ata/33 linux
HDD), hdparm -m16 -c1 -u1 -d1 -k1 -a128 /dev/hdb

Re: [newbie] Please Help a Newbie! Problem Installing Linux-Mandrake 7.1 - Cannot initialize CDROM
Grace,
Try my way : make a bootdisk from your Win98 - must have drivers to use
your cdrom drive. Use this disk to boot to DOS, that is when boot process
is completed you see A: on the monitor - insert linux cd into the cdrom
drive - type cd C: {if you cdrom has been detected as C: else change
accordingly} -cd dosutils - cd autoboot - cd mdkinst -{type} cdrom.bat
- press [Enter] on keyboard; installation should start. Follow the
installation menu. At one stage you are 'asked' for the 'Extension CD'; if
you do not have it press [Esc] on the keyboard, press [Esc] again to exit.
This is long winded, but that was what worked for me. HTH

Carlton, Since you're installing Mandrake and your machine only has 700MB of total space you won't have sufficient space for a dual boot machine. In fact, you may find it a bit tight squeezing Mandrake on there. However, a workstation install should fit. To install with an older CDROM shouldn't be too hard. If you've got an Micro$oft CDROM setup disk lying around that will work wonderfully. If you don't just email me and I'll zip you one up and send it to you. That will allow you to boot your machine with the floppy and hopefuly load the CDROM drivers to get the whole process started. If that doesn't work you make have to make a boot floppy with the CDROM boot.img and try booting with that.

Roman, You never told me until now that it was a RW CD ROM. In the future before you ask for help, especially when its a long email - please type it in point form. I had used up 3 - 4 days of searching for help for you. Then, I find out that you are using a completely different CD and no information about your computer configuration. Roman Roman Korcek wrote: To Dacia: Thanx, I will try it. To Paul: read further (and authorize me on ICQ...). To Roman: Hey Romanator, Wow. It looks like a nice mouse... Off topic but thanx ;-) Try replacing the Generic Mouse PS/2 with a Generic Serial Mouse first. In two earlier mails I mentioned that I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE MOUSE DRIVER. I was asking this all the time... Sorry if this sounded upset. I know that I should be happy that someone is trying to help (thanx), but please, if you want to help, read what I write. Fortunately, yesterday a friend told me I should use "mouseconfig". So I tried it out and tried to change the mouse driver. However, I don't know if it REALLY changed the driver, because my mouse behaved weird with every driver I selected and everytime I started mouseconfig to try another driver, it always started with Generic Mouse PS/2 selected. BTW: I found a file /etc/sysconfig/mouse - is it just a file to read or does it help to edit it ? And concerning what you wrote - replacing the PS/2 driver with a serial driver - how would that work ? I have my mouse on PS/2, so what would it help ? If that does not work, replace it with the MS Intellimouse serial. Again, why selecting Serial if I have PS/2 ? Of course, if everything else fails I can use the adapter for the mouse and use it as COM, but I would have to change it in Windows. But I can try to see if it changes anything. I will tell you tomorrow. Have you checked to see if it is a serial mouse or USB? It is PS/2, don't worry, I know the difference ;-) I have a fairly good book on Upgrading and Repairing PCs - Linux Version. I will access as much information as possible to get your mouse working. Thank you. Next we will work on the CDROM and floppy. Could you provide me with some extra information: Before you read further, there is a mail from Dacia and AzureRose saying: Is it a cd r/w? If it is you have to configure it as a scsi device. Follow the CD R/W instructions on this page: http://mandrakeuser.org/hardware/hremov3.html I tried supermount once.it never worked so I go the old fashonde way now. So yes, it is a CD-RW drive, I will try the instructions on the page. I didn't think it made a difference. But I still have some questions about partitions and LILO and /boot which I would ask, so I'll answer your questions and then ask you. 1. How do you have your hard drive drive configured? Primary Master, 20GB, split into 2GB (let's call it c:), 16GB (d:), 2GB(e:). The first C: drive is the bootable one with Windows on it. The D: I use for my progs and stuff under Windows. The E: was split into Ext2 and Swap by Mandrake installation. Under Linux I have it as / and the C: partition is my /boot dir. 2. Are you using more that one drive? One hard disk - Primary Master, one CD-RW - Secondary Master. 5. Is you CDROM daisy chained? Sorry, I don't know what "daisy chained" means. My questions: At install time, I selected C: as my /boot dir and E: as the / dir. But LILO did not install saying something about cylinder numbers being higher than 1024. Well here I have heard that it is fixed in GRUB, so my question is - what should I do if I want to install GRUB, so that I don't have to use a boot disk anymore ? (Please, answer 'Newbie style') Second question: How can I create another bootdisk, just in case the old one gets bad sectors or something ? Third: What is actually the /boot partition and are there any rules where it has to point to ? By the way, when you get any message, error message i.e. selecting the CDROM, can you please write down the exact message. OK, though the proposed solution by Dacia might solve it, I'll include what Linux says. First, I changed the fstab as Paul told me to, now it is: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 After typing cd /mnt/cdrom it says: ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=16:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32 ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=16:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32 bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom: Input/output error This would be a great idea to consider ICUII video for Linux.
