When you first installed it with your installation disk does it can for scsi devices? If not, you will probably have to manually loan the module and edit fstab. Here is what I done to get my external drive working. Mkdir /mnt/zip insmod parport insmod ppa mount -t msdos /dev/sdX4 /mnt/zip You shouldn't have to load parport.o. Since we aren't using pre 5.2. Add the folling line to /etc/fstab /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfatuser,noauto 0 0 That entire line needs to be in the fstab file. I use /dev/sda4. That will probably work with you but no guarantees there. Then just type: mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip your drive should light up and initialize. BTW: If you don't have a zip disk in the drive when you tried to access it on your desktop, it will give you an error. :) Here is another way to get it working. My friend had success using this. mkdir /mnt/zip cd /mnt insmod #imm mount -t msdos /dev/sdb4 /mnt/zip Hope this helps! Chris Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 inst-iso howto
Ottavia Since the install ISO is 649MB you should not try to burn it on a 650MB blank. Pony and several others make 700MB CD-Rs but be sure you do not pick up an audio only CD-R. NERO trys to make it hard to record from an ISO. There is no info in the manual or on their web site. Here is what you need to do: 1) Find the folder to which you downloaded the ISOs, right click on each and choose rename; mandrake 71-ext.iso change to mandrake 71-ext.nrg mandrake 71-inst.iso change to mandrake 71-inst.nrg 2) Launch NERO 3) Close the New Compilation window so that you have only the main window open. 4) From the toolbar along the top of the window select CD Recorder/ Choose Recorder and be sure your CD-RW is picked as the recording device. 5) From the File menu select Burn image. In the pop-up window navigate to the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK 6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK. 7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to show the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped option should be checked.Click OK. 8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and are not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed, simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the burn speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and the process of burning the CD will begin. When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd. Hope I have not made it seem too complicated.

[newbie] A Few Questions
1) I have a 500 mhz processor but Linux shows it running at 475, should I worry? 2) I have one of those built in sound cards, with C-Media Electronics chips-ICM18738 which sndconfig found and set up but it seems that the window managers keep crashing the darn thing. The CD player works great but system sounds will work for about a dozen sounds and then silence(does not effect the cd player but does effect the mp3 player). The MP3 player works great as long as I have system sounds turned off. If I lose sound and log out and back into KDE sounds return until they crash again. Any ideas 3) I had to re-install Mandrake 7.0 once in the month I have been operating. I found out the hard way dont log in as root and leave it for several hours. A thunderstorm came through and momentary knocked the power off, just enough to reboot it. Now it rebooted fine and I worked on it for several hours that night, but in the morning I turned it on and while the boot seemed fine it could not run x. After trying everything I could think of I finally after two hours reloaded the system. More then likely X's configuration file was damaged and it could not load the right video driver. Even using the so-called rescue disk I made durring the first installation would not work. Now I was able to control the last part of the boot but I could not find a right combination of yes/no's that would get me into a non-graphical screen. Is there a way to do a safe mode boot?? 4) I have seen many people of the list knocking PCI modems, but many of us can't afford an external modem. I now have a PCI modem that works fine, it was the only external at Best Buy that had a Linux compatible label on it. Its an Actiontec 56k internal call waiting modem and come with instructions on setting it up for linux at the command line and also writing a new line to the /ect/rc.d/rc.local file so it will be auto configure on start up. No problems and it works fine , at least one company tries to support Linux. 5) Before I had to reinstall I had installed Acrobat Reader, but it had errors everytime I used it. Any thoughts before I try again? 6)Does the normal install have the c-compilers? Thanks for any help, Don Hensley

[newbie] Remote Printing Problem
I finally got 7.0 to boot from the second drive and got LILO where I wanted it, but now I have a different problem. I cannot print to a remote printer on an Intel Netport Express print server. I can ping it. I can access all of the settings from Netscape, but when I define the printer and try to run a test page, it tells me connection refused, cannot start daemon. I did an lpc status and it says that everything is enabled and there is a file in the spooler but no daemon is present. I have looked in the printing howto and in several other places (as well as this list archives) but can't seem to find anything. I am sure that I am missing something very simple. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Wendell Gragg

[newbie] installation question
I'm having a problem installing Mandrake Linux on my PC. It's a 200MHz Pentinum. Whenever I run the install program from the Installation CD from my PC, I select that I want to install Linux on a Windows partition. Then the PC reboots. From the text message on the screen it looks like install program is detecting hardware (i.e. it finds my CDROM). It even displays a message like "second stage install". At this point it seems like it's querying the VGA card so it can display DrakX in graphics mode. Unfortunately, when it tries to do this, it displays a black screen with 2 vertical gray lines. It seems like DrakX has a problem with my VGA card, which is a Diamond Multimedia EDGE 3D 2000 series card with 2MB ram and the STG2000 chipset. According to the XFree documentation, this card is supporting by the SVGA driver. Moreover, when I run the Mandrake Install CD on my PC at work, I can get to the DrakX screen, so I know my CD is good. So, is there anyone out there who can help me? I have search the internet and Mandrake's site, but to no success. [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com/

Re: [newbie] $6.50 for MDK 7.1 2-CD set (GPL version)
A quick look shows cheapbytes charges 6.99 for MDK 7.1 2 CD set, the $1.99 price is for MDK 7.0 single CD. Matt includes shipping in his price, cheapbytes charges $5.00.

I did modprobe again... now, it says i/o error... this got me confused... really confused. it's so easy to configure this thing in Win95/98/NT/2000... when it comes to Linux... i'm lost and confused. checked almost every book there is, but it seems the writer are more interested in successfully installed Linux with everything configured during installation then after.
