Re: [newbie] Problems with Mandrake 7.1 installation
He actually had a point. You may not have found him articulate in bringing it up, but he was right. Assuming you have some knowledge in setting up a Linux system, you should not have to reinstall the entire thing. Though, I must admit, sometimes even I have found it to be the most expedient solution to the problem.

Re: [newbie] Problems with Mandrake 7.1 installation
Alan, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I just wanted to attract everybody's attention on the fact that there is generally no need to reinstall linux. I see too often people saying "It didn't work, so I reinstalled everything." And I REALLY felt like I had to say that it is not a good solution. If you think I have been rude towards you, please accept my apologies and let's forget about it. This remark wasn't meant to be read only by you, and that's why I insisted so much about it. Again, I'm sorry. Flupke On Tue, 13 Jun 2000, Alan Shoemaker wrote: > flupkebecause your opinion/solution and mine differ is no > reason to be rude towards me when you expound upon your own > remedy.

Re: [newbie] Problems with Mandrake 7.1 installation
flupkebecause your opinion/solution and mine differ is no reason to be rude towards me when you expound upon your own remedy. Yelling that my suggestion to help this person was 'BAD' was simply not called for and I resent it. Yelling in general is rude, but what you said, in the manner in which you said it, was pompous and condescending in the extreme as well as just plain rude. Please contemplate and consider the above comments when composing future public messages.

Re: [newbie] Problems with Mandrake 7.1 installation
I also installed XFree4.0 while I shouldn't BUT I DIDN'T REINSTALL THE OS. Please FORGET about this BAD idea! You are in a UNIX environnement! This is NOT windows! If you have installed XFree4.O and want to install XFree3.3.6, then you just have to boot, uninstall XFree4.0 and install XFree3.3.6. And you are done. Everybody should understand that if one package has problems, then you just handle the faulty package. And you don't have to reinstall the whole thing from scratch. Could it be a problem with X, the security level, the internet connection, or anything, you can repair it. Sorry, but I had to say it.

XFree86 4.0 doesn't seem to be set up use a wheel mouse automatically, so you're going to have to edit the config file. http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/wwwboard/messages/397.html explains how to do it.

Re: [newbie] Problems with Mandrake 7.1 installation
Carlthat sounds like what I experienced when I first installed 7.1 and chose version 4 of XF86. I reinstalled 7.1 and picked version 3.6 of XF86 and those symptoms no longer occured.

[newbie] Problems with Mandrake 7.1 installation
I just installed Mandrake 7.1 yesterday, development install from install and ext. cd's, and I've got a few minor problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. First, Mandrake refuses to recognize my mouse as Logitech MouseMan+, and instead keeps calling it a generic PS2. I've changed it in the mouseconfig in DrakConf, it's recognized correctly in Lothar, but I've got no support for the wheel(even as a third button). Next, gnome-ppp--what is meant by "remote name" in the config? I've set it up exactly the same as kppp, but it disconnects about 30 seconds after the handshake, and I've got no dns, even though everything is entered correctly. Finally, there seem to be major conflicts between the RealPlayer 7 Netscape plugin and plugger in Communicator, to the point where RealPlayer freezes and I've got to reboot to get my sound back. I remember seeing something similar in the list last week, but I didn't save the message, and can't locate it in the archives. Any help, advice, creative criticism gladly accepted. Thanks in advance, Carl Kehley
