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.)

I think we have some misunderstandings - I already downloaded and installed the Mandrake 8.0 on my Celeron 466 + 198MB RAM + USR 33.6k The problem is to connect to my office's RAS server i can't configure it at all :-( It tries to connect, but when the RAS hang-up and send signal for callback the Linux tells me You disconnected from the net., and the callback ISN'T dialing my number. 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.

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.

Posting to a news group is essentially the same as sending an e-mail message from andonet.com to another mail server. Some news groups have filters in place which scan the message before posting it. I'll look into this further to see if we can help find the problem. Best regards, One more thing, Often when reading posted e-mail messages users will click on reply to respond to a particular message in a thread. You are probably doing this already, but be sure you click on Send/Receive to actually make the reply message go. I've found that people who read newsgroups will sometimes read several messages, compose one or two replies, read a few more but not send the message until after closing the e-mail program when the messages in the OutBox are finally sent. Finally, I noticed you are using the name SystemsAdministrator in your To: message header, this can cause problems for e-mail programs which automatically fill in the actual e-mail address from a directory. SystemsAdministrator is used by so many ISPs (including us) that when your e-mail directory is updated, a previous username may no longer be associated with the SystemsAdministrator directory entry.

Re: [newbie] Please Help !
Throsten, I too had the same problem. I am a newbie so forgive the lack of exact wording. you need to edit your "lilo.conf" file in /etc/lilo.conf look for a line that starts with: append="" where stands for something i can't remember, in any event inside the quotes type a space after the only entry or last entry and type: mem=128M it should be inside the quotes once your config is saved run /sbin/lilo.conf when you reboot your system should read the new memory amt. also good to read with more detailed explination : http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/hardware/ramdetect.html good luck Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Thorsten Brenner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 2:56 AM Subject: [newbie] Please Help !

Re: [newbie] Please Help! Unable to mount Yamaha CRW4416E (read only!) in Mandrake 7.0
I had a similar problem. First make sure you can mount the CD-RW manually. I think the installer is smart enough to determine the drive is CD-RW, so it sets up the SCSI emulation for you. It just doesn't change fstab to reflect this. Try (assuming you want to mount it on /mnt/cdrom2): mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 You may have unmount /mnt/cdrom2 first. If this works, change the following line (again assuming fstab is trying to mount your CD-RW on /mnt/cdrom2/): mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0 to: /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0 You are changing the "dev=" portion to point at "/dev/scd0".

Re: [newbie] Please Help! Unable to mount Yamaha CRW4416E (readonly!) in Mandrake 7.0
Thanks Richard, I seem to have solved my problem a little while ago, and here's how I did it: 1) I edited the /etc/conf.modules file and took out the 2 lines dealing with SCSI emulation: alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi ... post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter ... 2) I then edited my /etc/lilo.conf file and took out the line that also dealt with SCSI emulation: ... image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda11 append="hdc=ide-scsi"-- Took this line out! read-only 3) I ran lilo -v (as root) to update the boot record 4) When I rebooted, some auto-hardware detection program complained about me disabling the Yamaha CR4416E, so I chose to have it keep the existing configuration, but not warn me in the future about it being disabled (or something to that effect!) Now I am able to mount either of my CDROM drives at will from the KDE Desktop! What still bothers me, however, is that I am now getting those pesky messages that I got in RedHAt 6.1 in the /var/log/messages file: Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x00 Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: ATAPI device hdc: Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: Error: Unit attention -- (Sense key=0x06) Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed -- (asc=0x28, ascq=0x00) Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: The failed "Test Unit Ready" packet command was: Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x50 Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 64 Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: ATAPI device hdc: Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05) Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: Illegal mode for this track or incompatible medium -- (asc=0x64, ascq=0x00) Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=16:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32 Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x50 Jan 22 18:45:04 fiend kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 64 Anybody got any clues on what's going on wrong here?

Re: [newbie] Please help me find the right VideoCard.
Also alot of the video cards that are "supported" on this list at Linux-mandrake and xfree, might not be fully suported with mandrake, or be "fully" suported. So please try not to substitute to a lower priced card that it says is compatable. I know on my linux systems I have had alot of luck with the Diamond V770, Power Color TNT2, i740 (newer xfree though) However I have had a real heck of a time with the cheaper sis 6326, and the S3 Trio cards that are said to be supported. The power Color tnt2 cards only cost me 70ish bucks, and that 32 megs and it looks sharp. sean F wrote: Sevatio, Video cards are the most problematic pieces of hardware you will have to deal with in linux, (NIC's are good for longer term probs :)) At the mandrake site you will find a "supp.hardware" link, http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fhard.php3 As well as a link on that page to XFree86 site http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.5/index.html Look up the various video cards on the list's and you will see that The ATI 128 Rage chipset does not have support yet, I am not sure which Diamond card you have, but they have been very supportive in the past regarding Linux, You might just have a configuration problem there with the Diamond card.
