Re: [newbie-it] Windows sotto linux
Ciao a tutti, c'è qualcuno che conosce WM-Ware? (E' un'utility per linux che, pare, riesca a fare girare due sistemi operativi uno all'interno dell'altro). Dove se ne può trovare una versione free? Io ne ho una versione trovata sul CD di una rivista, ma pare che necessiti della versione 4 dir RPM (che non riesco a trovare per Mdk con tutti i vari file); qualcuno può aiutarmi? Ciao a tutti e grazie. Se cerchi in rete con google lo trovi (non mi ricordo più il sito). io ne ho scaricato una versione shareware (in formato tar.gz da compilare) e funzionava . Nota negativa: la lentezza. Ciao. -- Chieder è lecito, rispondere è cortesia.

[newbie-it] Aggiornamento a Kernel 2.4.0
Ho comprato l'ultimo numero di Linus C. e ho provato ( per la prima volta ) ad aggiornare il kerner alla versione 2.4.0 seguendo le istruzioni allegate ma dopo ripetuti ( e ripetuti)tentativi i risultati non sono stati positivi in quanto dopo l'installazione non riesco a risolvere vari problemi (es.. il modulo dell'audio non viene caricato ,problemi con li NFS file locking , il modem non parte ed altro..) .

[newbie] Difference between a Linux link and a shortcut in prior OS
Using LM 7.2 I want to set up an icon on my user account KDE desktop that will launch Netscape and display the index.html file that is the entry point into the Mandrake Reference Manual in the /usr/share/doc/Mandrake/en directory. I dragged the index.html file from Konqueror to the desktop and selected Link and it created the link there. But I want the text under to icon to be something more informative than just "index.html". Am I to understand that operations on the "link" are the same as operations on the file linked to? I see that the link on my desktop has inherited the same permissions as the targeted file. Maybe what I should be doing is creating a .kdelnk file on my desktop, but I haven't gotten that far into the KDE stuff, nor seen in any context menu where to do that. I'm just trying to get my feet wet in general Linux command line and file system organization first. Although I love the security and stability of linux (everyone in my family has their own account, and is it true that there are only 3 linux virii and that they are harmless?), it's really strange at first to at least this DOS defector. Thank you for any enlightenment on this. Randy P.S. I am using Netscape to view the html files because for some reason Konqueror has decided to use a strange font in the browser and I can't get rid of it. But that's another battle to deal with later

Re: [newbie] Testing for bad RAM-solved and update
RR! Run from that shop. FAST. Don't look back. Not all ram is the same, there are different types with different internal funtionality. Windows does not, as a rule, use ram as agressivley as Linux does. Just "popping" the ram in to test it is not enough. The bios needs to be set for optimum or even acceptable use on some sticks. If you are concerned about the validity of your ram, take it to a vendor that has a test box. The box is a device designed for one purpose only.. Testing ram. It will run all portions of the stick through the paces, and provide a result in about 1-2 minutes. Not every computer tech or shop will have one of theses puppies, they cost $2k to $5k us. If the memory is indeed faulty, the chances are it will not pass tesing on one of these devices.

Re: [newbie] logs..
For the most part I would have to say yes. It is safe to delete those. But I would go through them first. Just to make sure there aren't any isntall logs it there that you may need later for some support issue or something else. That's one reason why I keep install logs else where as well. Things I know I'll want to look at later. Then add that directory to my install scripts. Looking at one of my Mandrake machines at home, here's what my log directory looks like. [root@yoda log]# ls -asCF total 2584 4 ./ 4 lpr/ 44 syslog.2.gz 4 ../4 mail/12 syslog.3.gz 32 XFree86.0.log580 messages 4 urpmi.log 20 XFree86.9.log 48 messages.1.gz 4 user.log 8 auth.log 44 messages.2.gz 4 user.log.1.gz 8 auth.log.1.gz 12 messages.3.gz 4 user.log.2.gz 4 auth.log.2.gz 0 netconf.log 4 user.log.3.gz 4 auth.log.3.gz 4 news/ 0 usracct 372 boot.log 0 pacct 4 vbox/ 20 boot.log.1.gz 4 samba/4 webmin/ 8 boot.log.2.gz 0 savacct 4 wtmp 4 boot.log.3.gz 4 secure8 wtmp.1.gz 4 cron/ 4 secure.1.gz 0 xdm-error.log 4 cups/ 4 secure.2.gz 20 xdm-error.log.1 4 daemons/ 4 secure.3.gz 20 xdm-error.log.2 4 dmesg 4 security/ 4 xferlog 0 htmlaccess.log 540 security.log 0 xferlog.1 4 kernel/0 spooler 28 xferlog.2 4 lastlog0 statistics0 xferlog.3 4 lastlog.1.gz 588 syslog 4 linuxconf/48 syslog.1.gz The boot stuff...

Re: [newbie] Modular 560 USB modem: drivers please
I went to the Modular Tech. website and there's a statement that a MMX CPU is essential. That's a pretty big tip off that this modem is ALSO a winmodem. There are USB winmodems. It says nowhere that this modem will not work in Linux but it does say minimum PC specs are a Intel 266 MMX or non intel 300MMX and 32 megs of ram. Statements like these point pretty for sure at it being a winmodem. Some are getting winmodems to work depending on the make.

Re: [newbie] untar commands?
For the most part, if you download a tar.gz file, it has the source and that's what you're isntalling from. So you have to compile and install. The basic formate for that goes in 3 commands. ./configure That will configure the install information so it can be installed. make That command will make the install file that will then be installed. make install That command actually goes through and installs the program. There is normally a README file that will give you options for when compiling the program, but a lot of time it will detect the things it needs, uses them and then finishes. But you may want to change other things later, but I suggest you go with the K.I.S.S. rule until you're more comfortable with doing it. I create install scripts that give me the out put so I can review later, but you can just take the ./configure to start with. When it's done running that, run make. (Unless it tells you other wise! Make sure you look for something that asks for things like gmake.) After the make command stops, run make install. At which point you should be able to do a which progam name. To understand what the variables mean, do a man tar at a prompt and read through that. But for the most people use the tar -zxvf and even have something aliased to it for quicker use. You may want to get rid of the v at first, which is for verbose and will show you everything it's doing out on your terminal, but keep the rest on there just to make it easier and more consistant. Some software vendors will even give the commands to run in the actual README file or other "documentation" that came with the software. Hope that helps. tdh -- T.

Which is all fine and good, most external serial modems work well, altho they take more resourses an often don't average out working at the performance level of an internal. The reason I'm butting in here is that you're wrong about "port nobody uses". Most all motherboards provide 2 serial ports. Many serious linux users have one of those ports tied up to a UPS to provide orderly unattended shutdowns in event of power failures. Then, like myself, many have a Digital camera cable, or some other serial device using the second port. So there's no port available for an external modem, even if you're willing to put up with more clutter on the desktop. Fortunately with the advent of disappearance of ISA slots on newer motherboards, some very good pci internal hardware modems have begun to appear. Since they don't have the hassle and the performance hit on system resources of external modems, I believe they are the better alternative. -- Dale Earnhardt, the greatest stock car driver ever, he's won his 8th and His Greatest Championship Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

Re: [newbie] Linux partitioning
Your partitioning scheme, with 3/4 root, 1/4 home, and the rest swap sounds good to me. You definitly want /home on it's own partition, so that if you ever need to reinstall or upgrade, you can just format the root parititon, but keep all your /home files safe. I'm reading up on setting up linux, and it states that many will setup separate partitions for /usr and /home besides ones swap space. I would like to ask you how you usually setup your partitioning. I was a little bit confused on it, for you at least need a mounting point of root. This is how I did it, but I'm not sure if it's how it should be done. I set one partition for about 3/4 of the drive as '/'. I thought that would cover my separate partition for /usr as well as the mount point. My second partition and about 1/4 of the drive (not all, as the last is for swap) I set as mount point /home. Then of course the remaining 256 megs I set for swap. At first I was going to create a 7 meg partition just for mounting root, then the larger 3/4 approx for /usr, and then the last primary for /home but I thought it just made more sense to make just a / and /home partition. Maybe I'm just not thinking about this correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
