Re: [newbie-it] partizioni
Ciao , ti conviene , quando installi una distribuzione, di installare il boot sulla prima parte della partizione e non sull'MBR. Cosi ti partirà il lilo non dall'MBR ma dalla partizione. Poi non devi fare altro che attivare la partizione da cui vuoi far partire il loader (lilo opp grub) e aggiungi a questo anche i link agli altri O.S. Oppure + semplicemente installa Windows,poi una distribuzione,poi l'altra e attiva la partizione dell'ultima (cosi non devi fare niente).

Re: [newbie] think an oki might work?
But that's all pretty much irrelevant. The thing that never had worked under any distro of Linux at all is my Okipage 6W printer. The driver you can find for the thing, "oki4drv" was originally meant to be used with Oki 4, as the name rightly suggests, and Oki8; however, it is supposed to be able to get the printer to work at a 300x300 dpi and only if you feed it I know that most Oki lasers are compatible with HP4L/HP4 drivers. Best to try the H4L first, I give that the best chance. Good luck. I love the way you write!!

Csar, Son muchas las cosas que no s de cmo est configurado tu ordenador ni que tienes instalado previamente. Supongo que tienes windows95 o 98 instalado en una particin que ocupa todo tu disco duro; si es as vamos por pasos. 1) Primero debes saber que en la BIOS de tu ordenador debes tener desactivada la opcin de PNP OS (es decir, sistema operativo con capacidad Plug Play); para ello al arrancar tu ordenador debers pulsar una tecla (depende de los ordenadores, es la F1 o Suprimir, a veces alguna otra) y acceder al programa de configuracin de la BIOS, si no es muy antigua tendrs la opcion PnP SO, decir que no, y a veces hay junto a ella una opcin para la configuracin de los dispositivos PP que suele estar en Automtico, ponla en Manual. Sal salvando y arranca windows. 2) Si tienes todo el disco duro ocupado con windows, debes prepararlo para que mandrake reduzca la particin windows y cree en el hueco las particiones de linux. Para ello debes pasar el Scandisk y despus desfragmentar, pues el sistema de ficheros catico de windows puede dejar fragmentos sueltos al final del disco duro y entonces aunque parezca vaco no hay forma de reducir la particin. Convendra tambin que crearas un disco de recuperacin de windows, fcil de hacer usando Panel de Control, Instalar-Desinstalar Programas, Pestaa de Windows. 3) Ahora puedes arrancar de nuevo teniendo metido el cd de mandrake y en modo recomendado debera de funcionar.

[newbie] Netscape 6 and Mime Types SOLVED!!!
I would like to shift to Netscape 6 instead of 4.7x because of its ability to manage multiple e-mail accounts for a single Linux user (under 4.7x I had to keep a separate user account for each e-mail account). My problem is that the scripts which come with RealPlayer8 for mime and plugin support only work with 4.7x and not 6. Has anyone already gone through the process of getting the mime types to work properly with Netscape 6? Are there simple edits that could be made to the scripts which will make them work with Netscape 6? There are dozens of mime types that mention realplayer in the 4.7x configuration and I would really like to avoid adding them one by one under 6. Also six seems to have some problems with editing or delete mime-types where you made a mistake. Does anyone know the name and location of the file that holds this information so that I can manually delete an error that I can't seem to remove any other way. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. -- Traci Collins http://www.rof.net/wp/tcollins/traci.html Traci, I found a webpage on linuxnewbie.org that had just what you and I were looking for! It was written by Avatar but I've did some modifications for our period of instruction. They were written for Netscape 4.7x but I found them compatible with Netscape 6 (ie v.6 or v.7) RealPlayer basically is running the show using these MIME types; 1. Open up Netscape and click on "Edit" and then "Preferences." 2. On the new screen that appears, click the little arrow next to "Navigator" and then "Helper Applications." On the right, you should see a list of all the mime types already in the system. This is where we will be adding in the info to configure the G2 player. 3. Click the "New type..." button to bring up a new mime tpye. 4. Enter the follwing settings, ***REMOVE THE CHECK IN THE CHECK BOX*** then click the "OK" button to save them. Description of type: RealMedia File File extension: .rm MIMEType: application/vnd.rn-realmedia Application to use: /usr/bin/realplay %s The description doesn't matter, but the rest does. Make sure to click the box nextto "Application" to enable G2, and don't forget the "%s" part or it will just open G2 and not stream. If G2 installed somewhere other than /usr/bin/realplay, replace that part with your path. Another thing to watch is that you put the "." in front of the suffix. 5. Add all of the following using the steps 3 4. Description of type: RealVideo File File extension: .rv MIMEType: video/vnd.rn-realvideo Application to use: /usr/bin/realplay %s Description of type: RealAudio File File extension: .ra, .ram MIMEType: audio/vnd.rn-realaudio Application to use: /usr/bin/realplay %s Description of type: RealAudio File 2 File extension: .ra, .ram MIMEType: audio/x-pn-realaudio Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s *Special Note* I couldn't get Netscape 6 to recognize both RealAudio files but I have had no problems... yet! :) ***REMOVE THE CHECKS IN THE CHECK BOXES*** Now, your G2 player should work great with Navigator 6. But say you hop over to live365.com and you want to listen for awhile. Well, live365.com sends you a mp3 play list, not a standard stream. This is nice if you're sitting behind a firewall and your administrator has blocked streamed data. To get this up and running on you Linux box, add this last part into Netscape, again using steps 3 4. Description of type: Live365 File extension: .pls MIMEType: audio/x-scpls Application to use: /usr/bin/realplay %s So, now maybe you want to hop over to MP3.com and have a lsiten over there. No problem. look down the list for "MPEG Audio." Once you find it, click on it, then click on edit. Change the follwing: Description of type:MPEG Audio File extension: MIMEType: audio/mpeg Application to use: /usr/bin/realplay %s ***REMOVE THE CHECK IN THE CHECK BOX*** (Click OK) We have to add another one now. Follow step 3 4 to add this one in. Description of type: MPEG Audio 2 File extension: .m3u MIMEType: audio/x-mpegurl Application to use: /usr/bin/realplay %s ***REMOVE THE CHECK IN THE CHECK BOX*** (Click OK) That should do it. Now the G2 player will handle all that media from the web with little or no hickups. Enjoy!

[newbie] Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer
Can anyone tell me how to get my sound blaster x-gamer running? I have Linux Mandrake 7.2 installed and have tried many online tutorials on how to get a SB live running and have had no luck. LM knows it's there but when I try hard drake it errors out. I would like to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.x before I get the sound blaster running. Is that a smart thing to do? Thanks for any help! --Matt
[newbie] Instalation Problem
Csar, Son muchas las cosas que no s de cmo est configurado tu ordenador ni que tienes instalado previamente. Supongo que tienes windows95 o 98 instalado en una particin que ocupa todo tu disco duro; si es as vamos por pasos. 1) Primero debes saber que en la BIOS de tu ordenador debes tener desactivada la opcin de PNP OS (es decir, sistema operativo con capacidad Plug Play); para ello al arrancar tu ordenador debers pulsar una tecla (depende de los ordenadores, es la F1 o Suprimir, a veces alguna otra) y acceder al programa de configuracin de la BIOS, si no es muy antigua tendrs la opcion PnP SO, decir que no, y a veces hay junto a ella una opcin para la configuracin de los dispositivos PP que suele estar en Automtico, ponla en Manual. Sal salvando y arranca windows. 2) Si tienes todo el disco duro ocupado con windows, debes prepararlo para que mandrake reduzca la particin windows y cree en el hueco las particiones de linux. Para ello debes pasar el Scandisk y despus desfragmentar, pues el sistema de ficheros catico de windows puede dejar fragmentos sueltos al final del disco duro y entonces aunque parezca vaco no hay forma de reducir la particin. Convendra tambin que crearas un disco de recuperacin de windows, fcil de hacer usando Panel de Control, Instalar-Desinstalar Programas, Pestaa de Windows. 3) Ahora puedes arrancar de nuevo teniendo metido el cd de mandrake y en modo recomendado debera de funcionar. Otra cosa es que tengas Windows2000 y no s si Millenium, ya me dirs. Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Espaa)
Re: [newbie] Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer
I have a pci Sound Blaster Live and /usr/sbin/sndconfig did mine! Sounds great too with my Altec Lansing speakers. It sounds as good as it does under windows with Creatives' bloated drivers and software. It won't work for you? When I switched to 2.4.0, it set it up and my pci modem automatically. (I mean I had a configuration from previous kernel, but with this other machine, I had to set the modem and sndcard up again after install of new kernel, but they are older isa cards).

I have a pci Sound Blaster Live and /usr/sbin/sndconfig did mine! Sounds great too with my Altec Lansing speakers. It sounds as good as it does under windows with Creatives' bloated drivers and software. Well no, the Linux version does not really sound as good (IMO). Mostly because I can find no way (or no Linux software) to activate the 2nd set of speakers that I have. Under Windows, I have sound from all 4, as well as control over the sound placement; under Linux, I only get sound the front 2, and I have no control over the sound placement. Nor do I have control over all the effects (reverb, delay, etc) that I have under Windows. Nor does it come with the profusion of presets (jazz hall, optimized for certain games, etc). Which is not to say that the sound from the front 2 speakers is bad, or wrong, or anything; it's just that I have nowhere near the amount of control over my sound system under Linux, as I do under Windows.

[newbie] dual boot help
I've been struggling with a dual boot installation of second gen win98 and Mandrake7.2. I understand that 7.2 may be a beta release? Anyhow, when I have the dual boot setup and have Mandrake Linux 7.2 running happily - The windows 98se is frought with problems - applications freezing or not starting, games not playing, cdr being unreliable..etc. I'm an end-user: so I use McAffe utilities on windows98se - and Windows gets better! Unfortunately, now Lilo isn't working and I now no longer can boot into Linux Mandrake -only windows- on restart. Should I be using the Lin4Win product and allow Windows to monopolize my machine? (333mhz intel P2, 128mg ram, 6 and 18 gig hardrives) Is another version of Windows friendlier with Lilo and Linux? Is there a way I can make a boot floppy to access my Linux partition now I no longer can boot to it? (I do need widows to run many programs I've become very accustomed to: Dreamweaver, photoshop, illustrator, flash...) Thank you for help and advice. Mike Cooke = __ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [newbie] samba-novell
If you have no Novell dependant software, yes. There are a few applications which rely on Novell's bindery to function properly. If you don't known anything about this, you probably have none. Linux Mandrake also has MARS-NWE which is a pretty good Novell Emulator for Linux. It emulates a Novell 3.11 server. It's a pretty good simulation/emulation and includes limited binder support. Using Samba is more like migrating to NT. Samba uses a form of Microsoft Networking protocols. (no stones from the peanut gallery please...) ... which runs on TCP/IP. Mars-NWE uses IPX, just like Netware. Microsoft's Netware client thinks it's talking to a Novell Server, if you've set up a Linux/Mars host... You could also install both, and have Linux function as both types of servers at the same time... -JMS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Leonidas Papadopoulos Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 5:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] samba-novell In my business, i have a server with Novell, and 2 computers running Windows 98, and pluged with the server.

The only switch that might help you is supplying the correct amount of RAM either on the boot prompt or via '/etc/lilo.conf'. At the boot prompt, type linux mem=[size in MB]M (e.g. linux mem=96M, if you have 96 MB RAM). If this works, add it to your '/etc/lilo.conf', by changing the string append="" to something like this: append="mem=96M" In GRUB, use something like title linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 mem=128M put that in /boot/grub/menu.lst that should fix your problem.

[newbie] Permission to mounted drives?
I am using Mandrake 7.2 on a multi boot machine. I am trying to only allow the root user to access 2 of my windows 98 partitions. I have security set to medium. The only way I seem to be able to stop access to these drives is by going to High security (pain in the arse, then no one but root can access any of the mnt drives) or unmount the drives. I've used linuxconf to try to change the settings, but it doesn't seem to take affect. Also, I've logged in in console mode and used the chmod command to change it (chmod 700 win_c). It acts like it's working, but then when I log back as a user I can still access them? I've set linuxconf to not mount the drives at boot, and that works, but I would like to mount them in case I need to access a file on them, I'm just a little paranoid because I have a dsl connection and want to limit access just in case someone gets in. Thanks in advance, DJW

I've been tinkering with this Linux for some time, but I still don't understand it at all. I've read the posts on this message board (All 150+) every day, but everyone's completely out of my league with their responses. I have Mandrake Linux (I think 6.2). I managed to get it up and running, I can even connect to the internet. I have no idea how I did it. I am trying to get my sound card and NIC card to work. I downloaded some files that are supposed to be the drivers. They're in tar.gz format. I've gunzipped them, and even tarred them. I have a bunch of files now, and I have no idea what to do with them. There's an Adobe PDF with one of them. I downloaded the latest version of Acrobat to read it. It makes no sense. When I log out of KDE (Or any other GUI) I often lose my mouse. The cursor goes to the extreme upper right corner, and I can't do squat after that. All I can do is hit Reset. The computer's not locked up, but it won't let me do anything when I return to the GUI. I would imagine there was a command that could be executed which would activate the mouse again. Is there anyone out there willing to do some one-on-one tutoring, and help someone who's really really trying?
