Hello everyone,
I am back to Mandrake Linux after a short hiatus I had to reinstall
again due to what turned out to be errors on my hard drive I think I have
them isolated now if so I should have a stable system
It already looks much nicer on my KDS 17 flat screen monitor Mandrake
handled it combined with my old TNT card and gave me all graphics
resolutions, which is a remarkable change from my old generic 14
I of course lost all my email and web bookmarks this time I have decided
to do occasional backups of these files to my windows drive just in case
I learned somewhere that a better working kernel than I am using (stock
81 248-26(?)) is 24834(?) which is supposed to fix some security
issues, virtual memory, etc
I had an email with directions for upgrading my kernel Actually it was
for something else, it was to someone who had just reinstalled and was
wanting to do something else (update software manager lists?) But the
person was directed to first install the newer kernel I think the message
went something like:
First go to someplaceaddyoutthere and download filexafile and follow
the directions on http:ebaddyady to install it alongside your old
kernel Then go to mandrake update(?) and get the latest whatnotfiles
And _then_ go to nVidia's site (or mandrakeuseronline?) and get the
latest drivers for kernel 248-34(?) and install according to the
directions at http:anothersiteIforgotady
And _then_ go do whatever the original person wanted to do because the
computer is now updated
Of course since I lost the message(s) that is about all I remember now
that I find myself in the same situation Anyone care to send help?
This brings up my other question: Is there a website with important
archived information from this list for people with faulty memories ( hard
drives) such as myself?
Thank you,
Wes:
First, my sympathies on the death of your hard drive
The quickest way to get to the list archives is via the Mandrake home page
Click on the mail list entry in the LH column, and you'll find a link to the
archive list partway down the page I have a recollection that the posting
you want was by Civileme (aka Tester) -- let the search function by your
friend
-- cmg (whose memory also has many bad sectors)
