Re: [newbie] downloading Firefox
Maryse, I recommend getting the download offered at the Firefox home page, www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. I've tried both, and I find the "official" version from the Mozilla Foundation much better for a few reasons. First, it's a smaller file and therefore a faster download. The package available from contrib via urpmi is nearly 30MB, while the file from mozilla.org is only about 8.6MB. Second, I could never get the contrib package to integrate successfully with GNOME. I used the preferred applications control panel (I'm guessing at the name -- presently on my work PC, which is Windows) to set the preferred web browser to the command line for the new Firefox install, followed by %s for the web address. It never did work, though. The urpmi package also seemed a little slower than the official download. Overall, I think the Linux download from mozilla.org offers the best solution for you. You don't need to be root to install it since it can be installed into your home folder, and setup is taken care of by a user-friendly installation wizard. Good luck, Adam M.Schild wrote: Although, urpmi generally isn't much use for someone on modest download speed capability like Maryse. so what do you suggest? Maryse

Yeah, I'd try gftp or one of the other ftp apps called from a terminal in the directory you want the download in. For example: gftp ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/Mandrake/iso starts the download but the message from the server is that there are too many anonymous users for the transaction to complete at this time. Try a different server. Such as one of the European ones where people are likely asleep at the moment. g Or if you already have an old set of ISOs from a previous version rename them to reflect the new release name and use rsync in a terminal to download the differences which is the method I generally use. Or just use rsync to download them instead of an ftp front end app. If you do have the ISOs and have renamed them add --delete before the --progress flag. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nanook]$rsync -avrt --progress ftp.uninett.no::Mandrake/Mandrake/iso/ /downloads/torrent/ All spaces are single. Of course change the source mirror and destination directory to suit you, but I know for a fact the download is fairly fast from the server in the example. Reading the rsync man page or rsync --help wouldn't hurt either.

Re: [newbie] Downloading a huge file - burning an ISO
Anyway, how do I burn an ISO image in Linux? You could use one of the gui's, but here is my favorite way (a la Tom Brinkman) If you burn a lot of iso's, make an alias: alias biso='cdrecord -v -eject speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -dao' then biso file.iso You'll have to change speed and dev=x,x,x to fit your needs. Speed: Many people say use half what your drive says it will do. If you aint in a hurry, use less. cdrecord -scanbus will tell you the dev #'s for your writer. -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Join the content organization discussion: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/WebIndex Join the General Wiki Development discussion: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/DevelopingTheMandrakeCommunity#Discussion Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Downloading a huge file - burning an ISO
The answer to this is yes. It downloads it to a tmp directory in /. I only have 691 megs of free space there and the file is 694. I couldn't figure out how to bypass the temp file transfer. I remember someone saying something about Konquerer being able to act like a file transfer over the net (with split windows). I tried that and it worked flawlessly (he was right, Konquerer rocks). Konquerer will even resume a failed download whereas Mozilla dl manager does not. The reason I do not use Konquerer as my main web browser is that some of the links appear in yellow and vry hard to read. I cannot figure out how to fix it (any ideas?).

Either do it from a terminal console, or use an FTP client like gftp - you'll fare much better...

Re: [newbie] Downloading packages. [Solved]
Hello Tony. Thanks for your reply in answer to my problem that I could not get urpmi or the Control Panel Software Management to recognise the new sources I had entered. I removed the old ones, and entered them again when connected to the Internet, as you said I should. It now works - at least in the Control Panel. I haven't experimented with using urpmi to install packages, yet. Manual package installation is even better now that I have replaced Kpackage with Gurpmi, as Derek recommended. I am only running the Download Edition of Mandrake, as I want to check it out. I am not very pleased with the latest version of my current distribution, and am thinking of changing to Mandrake. If I decide to change, I will buy the boxed set. Thanks to the help from this list with a couple of teething troubles I have had, Mandrake has gone up considerably in my estimation! Very many thanks for your help. I greatly appreciate it. Cheers Keith On Monday 18 Nov 2002 1:49 pm, Tony S. Sykes wrote: Keith, You do need to be connected to the internet for this as it has to get a list of files from the server, and sync them with a local list it creates for the server. As Derek said the more sources the more chance you will not get a dependency problem. I have been using urpmi since 9 and the only problem I have come up against is different versions of programs from different sources(sometimes a slow connection). But you will soon learn to love it.

Jordan, While there may be some hack or loophole that could make this happen for you, I think you just have to accept the fact that the movies you are trying to download were specifically set up for on-line streaming. As Todd has pointed out, the site does not want to allow the downloading of the movies locally. This ability to let you see it, but not take it home, is one of the most attractive control mechanisms of audio and visual streaming. The only way for you to be sure that a link brings you to a dowloadable file is to try to save its target locally. If is works, you have what you want.

I don't know exactly, but since you usally know the size of the QuickTime movies you download, it's easy enough to perform a find . -size +nk in your home directory where n is the size in kilobytes.

Re: [newbie] Downloading and installing mandrake
No, the ISO images are a special kind of file. They contain all of the data and directory structure needed to write a whole CD. That's why the files are usually bigger than a CD will hold. You will need to find where it says 'create CD from iso image' in your CD burner software and choose that. Then it will ask for the image file. Make sure it is set to 'iso' then point it to the iso file you downloaded. After that, the image file will tell it everything else it needs to do.

Re: [newbie] Downloading and installing mandrake
Go to: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3 Assuming you are using an Athlon or a Pentium, click on Mandrake 9.0/i586 ISO Image. Choose a mirror closest to you and then download: README md5sums.90 Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso Mandrake90-cd2-ext.i586.iso Mandrake90-cd3-i18n.i586.iso You only really NEED the first iso to get a working GNU/Linux, but I'd highly encourage you to grab the first two. If you have high speed internet access, you might as well grab all three. When you've downloaded the files, type the following in the directory you downloaded in: md5sum -c md5sums.90 This will take a while to calculate, but it will confirm that the download occurred successfully. If you are going to burn these ISO from a non-GNU/Linux machine, refer the README file for instructions. I also don't know how to check the md5sum from a non-GNU/Linux OS. To burn from GNU/Linux type: cdrecord -scanbus Not which device points to your burner. In my case it's 1,3,0. Then use this information to burn the CD. cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=1,3,0 Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso Replace the values with your own, of course.

Re: [newbie] Downloading and installing mandrake
It's been a long time since I've used Windows, but in Adaptec there will be an option of some sort to to from an image/iso. That's what you want. The README file you'll find on the FTP site you download the .iso's from will actually have instructions on how to burn using Adaptec. Once you burn the iso as an image, it expand into a normal CD. The first one is bootable for install. The second (I believe) is bootable for rescue and such. If you end up with CDs that just have the .iso file on them, then a mistake was made in the Adaptec configuration before the burn.

Re: [newbie] downloading installing
Hello; When you installed your Linux did you include the development tools? When you download the software I found that you must have a fast and reliable connection. Then you need to make sure that you download inst.iso (the installer) and the ext.iso (the extensions for the development). Using and FTP would be your best bet. That may explain some of the problems you are having. And with rpm are you trying to install from the command line? Try it from the GUI it will give you a list of what you have installed and what you don't. It will also tell you what support files you need for that program. Try that until you get the hang of the command line. Hope this helped a little. I know how frustrating it can get. I've had lots of practice ;-) So keep trying and don't give up.
