Mi spiace che tu abbia incontrato cosi' tanti problemi per installare la Mandrake7.2!!!Io personalmente ritengo che sia l'installazione + semplice di tutte le distribuzioni...a patto che imposti xo' l'avvio da CDROM nel Bios del tuo computerbasta che all'avvio premi Canc quando ti viene richiesto,cioe' circa 3-5 secondi dopo l'avvio...e modifichi la "partenza"...che di solito e' impostata su Floppycosi' poi al successivo riavvio parte da sola l'installazione e dovrai seguire scrupolosamente tutte le opzioni che ti verranno richieste... Prima pero' vai nel pannello di controllo di Windows...su System e copiati nome e cognome di tutte le periferiche e l'hardware che hai segnati tutto su un foglio...e quando arrivi in un punto dell'installazione Mandrake in cui devi scegliere qual installazione fare, cioe' se automatica,personalizzata o custom, tu seleziona personalizzataperche' se hai gia' creato la partizione Ext2 e di Swap con Partition Magic come hai detto, allora devi solo impostare la partizione di boot con una slash..."/"...e null'altro...il resto lo fara' tutto Mandrakeil bello e' che ti verra' chiesta la scelta per ogni cosa da formalizzare nell'installazione...che dura circa 1/2 ora!!!

If it is 95/98/ME then fdisk /mbr will get rid of Lilo and will restore your windows mbr when windows reboots. If you have 2000 then there are two comands, first fixboot and then fix mbr. That will repair the bootsector and the MBR. You should create a boot disk for linux.

Star Office is an astounding resource hog.

And forget it if you have to chase down more than a couple libraries to get the RPM installed - I think you could litterally spend all day chasing down libraries. Seems like the RPM utility could do that for me since it appears to know better than me. I tried to install the Aethera RPM which told me I needed Lib A, found that but Lib A needed Lib B, fount that but Lib B needed Lib C, and etc - sheesh!. I'd also like it to ask me where to install because it would be nice to be able to installed "locally" (like /home/mjohnson/bin) but I guess that would be some sort of security risk. Yeah, I guess I could download the source code and modify the config and makefiles but I'm usually not in the mood to do that and I don't want heaps of source code on my hd.

Re: [newbie] 3D accelerated X seems no different...
If you have installed the Nvidia 0.9-6 drivers then you should have X 4.0 or better. There is a problem with these drivers if you are running a Geforce 2GTS, but I don't know if the same applies to the TNT cards. Go and have a look at www.evil3d.net they have a fix for the driver. And BTW it is worth updating to X 4.0.2, or at least I think so..

[newbie] System is becoming slower
I installed 7.2 on a K6 200 w/ 128MB and 10G 5400rpm drive. I was dubious that linux could run on such a system, but it actually ran way better than expected until now. Now having been used everyday for about a month things are getting progressively slower. Whenever I'm running Konquerer it seems to be just beating the hell out of my HD. Sometimes when I go to logout nothing happens I have to actually power down the computer - (I guess I could just kill X from the command line?). It's taking forever to boot up and to startup applications. If this was windows I would say that these are symptoms of a fragmented HD. Does the HD get fragmented in Linux too? What should I do short of a reformat and install to freshen things up?

[newbie] Is there something like these in Linux?
Having been a Mac user for many years (and a recent Linux convert with LM7.2)), there are a few things that I have become used to while doing day-to-day work. One of them is a macro program (QuickKeys, OneClick and KeyQuencer). I am interested in getting something like this for Linux or even something that works like Applescript. Also, in the Mac there are a couple of programs (TypeIt4Me, for those who know, is one of them. And I think in Windows too, Autocorrect-plus, or something like that) that work like the autocorrect feature in M$Word, but do it system-wide, with any program. Is here something like that in Linux? Any ideas? Thanks, francisco

Everything was working ok. Now I installed I received the CD with the update of Linux Mandrake 7.2 and after I installed it X is not working. Specifically X starts for 3 seconds and I can observe a blue screen with the arrow of the mouse, and then I go back to the text mode and I receive the message "Waiting for X server to shut down". Moreover after that I don't see the text cursor anymore but instead I observe a cursor that can be controlled by the mouse. Even if I don't observe the text cursor, I still can write commands and the computer executes them, but I'm not able to see what I'm writing. Can somebody tell me what's happening?

If MS Office did the same it would need to launch Word, Power Point, Excel, etc., etc. You are not comparing apples to apples. -Original Message-From: Tafta Zani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 10:51 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [newbie] want my linux work faster and networking hi guys, I have heard that linux is relatively faster then windows. But why do windows can open such large application like MS Word 2000 in less than five seconds but LM 7.2 needs more than that to open Star Office 5.2 Could any body recommend mesomething to be done (kernel compiling, turning off services, upgrade kernel, hdparm or something) ? By the way, where shouldI go ifI want to learnbasic networkingunder Linux and to activatemyATA66 harddisk?

Ok, what's the trick? :) I've tried through cups. I've downloaded a 'driver' from linuxprinting and followed directions. What is the trick to get it to work? It is supposed to be "perfectly" supported, so I know that there must be a way. But when it sends a test page to it's daemon, I get the big nothing.

Give it a try--can't hurt.
