[newbie-it] GUI per gestione fax
Ciao, scusate, ho gia' scritto per questa questione, ma sono ancora da punto a capo. Sto cercando di avere una GUI per inviare / ricevere fax con Linux. Ora ho ksendfax, che si presenta abbastanza bene, ma purtroppo non mi funziona. In particolare, una volta che ho pronto un fax da spedire, quando faccio "Send Fax" mi viene in realta' messo in una coda di spool (il comando e' faxspool -F 'Alberto Zanoni' '@@Phone' '@@FName' ), e devo poi dare manualmente il comando faxrunq per inviarlo. Questo comando pero' non funziona, nel senso che se digito faxrunq ottengo [alberto@master alberto]$ faxrunq processing F06/JOB... /usr/sbin/sendfax -v 0651692844 f1.g3 Trying fax device '/dev/ttyS1'... locked... locked... locked, give up! /usr/sbin/sendfax: cannot access fax device(s) (locked?) command exited with status 2 Se invece do il comando come root ho () [root@master alberto]# faxrunq processing F06/JOB... /usr/sbin/sendfax -v 0651692844 f1.g3 Trying fax device '/dev/ttyS1'... OK. /usr/sbin/sendfax: not a class 2/2.0 fax modem command exited with status 3 Si tenga presente che [alberto@master /dev]$ ll modem lrwxrwxrwx1 root root5 gen 27 00:29 modem - ttyS1 [alberto@master /dev]$ ll ttyS1 crw---1 root tty4, 65 mar 10 09:37 ttyS1 A questo punto vorrei poter, se possibile, 1) lanciare faxrunq da utente 2) "riparare" l'errore () e pensavo di chiedere a chi potesse aiutarmi un consiglio su come fare entrambe le cose. In una mail che ho ricevuto mi veniva invece consigliato di usare il comando fax, che, a guardare il man, sembra molto pulito. Ksendfax e' configurabile; e' possibile mettere il comando per mandare fax, mostrare i job in coda o rimuoverli, ed addirittura avere una rubrica di numeri telefonici. Qualcuno ha provato a usare Ksendfax col comando fax ? Quali sono i comandi da mettere nelle varie caselle, e, soprattutto, quale dev'essere il formato del file contenente la rubrica ? Questa gestione mi pare pero' un po' complicata. Se, magari, qualcuno ha un'altro tool grafico da consigliarmi per la gestione dei fax, son qui per imparare. Grazie anticipate a chi mi vorra' / potra' aiutare. Alberto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [newbie] Linux PDA: would you use one?
The answer to this one, for me, is that I couldn't give a crap what os my pda uses (it's a Palm BTW) The point about my PDA, and I would cry for days if anything happened to it ;o) is that it does three or four essential tasks extremely well. It maintains my calndar/schedule brilliantly, and does a great job with my address list. Even more important, for now, is that it interfaces well with Outlook so I can keep it synchronised with my laptop. Oh and it has a great game of Hearts on it. If I wanted to tinker, or do other things then I would use a device more suited to the purpose, like a laptop or desktop machine. I acknowledge that those folding keyboards are great for making a pda more useable but frankly I see the use of a PDA for anything more than basic tasks as akin to using a hammer to drive a screw, possible but not the best tool for the job. The only area where I have been tempted by another device is the Handspring - which uses Palm os. It 'writes' better and more effectively and it takes useful clip-ons like sat-nav or digital cameras. The underlying point being that these too are very dedicated apps. regards Daryl Johnson Proplan Associates -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: 07 March 2001 15:04 To: LinuxNewbie (E-mail) Subject: [newbie] Linux PDA: would you use one?

[newbie] KDE 2.1 Java: JESSE -- What's that, pleas
Dear friends: The IBM Java Virtual Machine is working flawlessly, so far, in KDE 2.1's Konqueror. As good and as fast as in Netscape 4.76. I have one question, for which I believe there is an answer. But, being a newbie, I think I bet let an expert comment on this and on whether any of us users really need it. With the Virtual console on, I get the following message when I launch a Java applet: Java VM version: 1.3.0 Java VM vendor: IBM Corporation Unable to load JSSE SSL stream handler, https support not available Now I know that Sun has a free JSSE SSL file that is very easy to install. Question 1: Can one install Sun's Java2 JSSE SSL into IBM's Java 2? question 2: What in the world is JSSE SSL. Do us ordinary users that do not use servers need it? Question 3: If JSSE SSL is worth getting, is there an IBM version of this (probably under a different name). I would obviously prefer installing the IBM version of JSSE since I am using IBM Java. I've looked at the IBM site at: http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/wsdd/wspvtdevkit-info.html Unfortunately, I need a little (lots!) of help figuring this out. Hopefully, this will also be use of to other members of the list who are using IBM's Java. Thanks so very much.

If it's the only thing that's preventing the install, then use "--nodeps". Apmd is on the 7.2 install CD. According to the description it's for laptop installs, but the Mandrake testers were told it also has a function in the KDE bug-reporting system and 2.1 needs it for this. Use the Package Manager with the 7.2 CD mounted and search for "apmd", then install this package.

I upgraded to KDE 2.1 and tried out all four Java Virtual Machines on my system: Sun's 1.3.0, Blackdown's 1.3.0, IBM's 1.3.0 and Sun's JDK 1.2.2. And the winner is... IBM 1.3.-6 The exact file is: IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpm The IBM rpm installs into /opt... as follows: You can get it from http://www.ibm.com/developer/java [sher@mindspring bin]$ pwd /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin [sher@mindspring bin]$ ls JavaPluginControlPanel* libJdbcOdbc.so* libjava.so* libzip.so* awt_robot* libagent.so*libjavaplugin12.so* oldjava* classic/ libawt.so* libjdwp.so* oldjavaw* exe/ libcmm.so* libjitc.so* policytool* java*libdcpr.so* libjpeg.so* rmid* javaplugin.so* libdt_socket.so*libjsound.so* rmiregistry* javaw* libfontmanager.so* libnet.so* tnameserv* jvmtcf* libhpi.so* liborb.so* keytool* libhprof.so*libxhpi.so* [sher@mindspring bin]$ In Konqueror, Settings, Konqueror Browser, Java, type in the following path: /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/java I have not tested it everywhere, but I have a strong feeling that IBM's 1.3.6 Java might just be the right Java, in spite of KDE's preference for Blackdown. Obviously, each of these JVM will work for some, but not for others. I wish to thank Zeljko Vukman, whose message I read on one of the archives who specifically suggested IBM's Java. He said that he had tried Sun's 1.3.0 Java and that it failed (as also confirmed by KDE) and that he then downloaded IBM's Java and that it worked perfectly every time. Without that hint to go on, I would probably have gone bananas by now. My thanks to the KDE team for producing such a wonderful Konqueror browser (and, of course, file manager). I was so pleased with it that I wanted the Java to work, too. I hope my confirmation that it works with the IBM Java will help others who are as bewildered by the Java situation as I was. By the way, KDE's discussion of Java can be found at: http://www.konqueror.org/konq-java.html To test your Konqueror Java, may I suggest a fabulous site that features a java applet that unfolds (literally) ten images per applet. There are five such applets on this site. The site is called: Russian Painting. The URL is: http://www.rollins.edu/Foreign_Lang/Russian/ruspaint.html Try any of the five java applets in the left frame: Icons, 18th century, etc. And, last but not least, my deep thanks to everyone who went out of their way to respond to my requests for help with KDE's Java. I am very grateful, indeed. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[newbie] KDE 2.1 Java: JSSE -- critical footnote
Dear friends: The JSSE message that comes up in the Virtual console in NO way retards or obstructs or affects in any way the performance of the java applet. Thank God! If you UNCHECK the box for "Virtual console" under Settings, Konqueror, Browser, Java, you will be blissfully unaware of this issue. I just tested it. Works flawlessly. I do hope, though, that one of our experts explains to us newbies and ordinary users just what JSSE is about and who needs it and who doesn't. Thanks so much.

[newbie] Upgrading to KDE 2.1 -- Full Installation Instructions
Dear Oder: The instructions for upgrading from KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.1 in Lm7.2 are as simple as can be because Mandrake went out of their way to make it so: 1) Go to any Mandrake ftp site using your ftp application (gftp, Igloo or whatever) and type in the exact name of the ftp host site, e.g. ftp.wtfo.com or rpmfind.net (exactly as it appears on Mandrake's downloads list. Look on Mandrake's home page (http://www.mandrake.com) under "Downloads". There you will find URL mirrors in your area and country. Select the one in North America if you live in the USA and Canada. Don't select metalab.unc.edu. They only carry the latest version of LM72 without all the bells and whistles. 2) Navigate till you get to Mandrake's "mandrake-devel" directory. Then, go to the "unsupported" directory. Then i586. At the very top, you will find a directory called KDE 2.1. Open it and you'll find EVERY file you will need to install KDE 2.1 EXCEPT for "apmd." You can get that file from Mandrake 7.2. It's part of the regular Mandrake 7.2 distro. Now create a KDE 2.1 directory in your home directory /home/user/KDE 2-1/ make sure to open the directory and now, using your broadband, download every file from the remote KDE 2.1 directory into your home KDE 2.1 directory. Warning: most of us don't need all those language files that follow "arts... (the very first file in the KDE 2.1 directory -- you do need this file). So, the best way to handle this is to select ALL files, then quickly unselect the language files from "Brazil" to "Ukrainian". Otherwise, every file should be highlighted. Now download them all at once, if your ftp client allows for it. If not, download them individually into your /home/user/KDE 2.1 directory. When you have completed your downloading, close your ftp client. Now, before you install anything, be sure to first install the apmd rpm. You will need it to install everything else. When that's done, go to /home/user/KDE2-1 and type: #rpm -Uvh --replacefiles *.* The "replacefiles" argument is needed to allow the new KDE files to replace certain files that conflict with the old rpms. Your installation should not go smoothly but have patience. The only apparent problem (a non-problem) has to do with the doc files. You will so a host of messages about them. Just ignore them. The installation will continue all the way to the last file: "qt-static-libraries 2.2.4-3." And, by the way, it's a good idea to check the files in the remote directory against the files in your home directory before proceeding, including the file sizes. Your new KDE 2.1 should now be ready. Just for the fun of it, reboot your system. You will now log into the new KDE 2.1. First thing you should do is to take care of the rpm data base and your menus: Thus: 1) #rpm --rebuilddb (i.e. rebuild your rpm data base (db). Have patience. This takes about 5 minutes. 2) Now, for the menus: #update-menus -v This command adjusts the menus for all your desktops and window managers. One little bug: When it ends with fvm, it doesn't return you to a regular prompt. Just wait a minute or two and when you are SURE that the process has ended, just type Cnt +C and you'll be back at your regular prompt. Now reboot one last time for the menu and rpm changes to take effect and your new KDE 2.1 is at your service. Notice especially the improvements in Konqueror and Kmail. One caveat: There is a little annoying but insignificant bug in Netscape in KDE 2.1 that I raised a hue and cry about because I thought it was a KDE bug that needed urgent attention: You can only launch one instance of Netscape (or Mozilla) at a time, that is, by clicking on the Netscape icon. As one kind member of the list explained to me, you can easily launch as many windows as you wish from Netscape's menu (File, New, Navigator window). This, I was told, is also much preferable because you save an enormous amount of wasted memory every time you launch the entire Netscape application by clicking on it. So, the bug is really a feature, after all. To make Java work, see my long message with a solution to the Java problem in KDE 2.1 (essentially using the IBM Java 1.3 JRE instead of the Sun version. At least it worked in my case. For full details, see my earlier message or check the Mandrake archives (see Mandrake's home page, mailing lists for details). Yours, Benjamin P. S. I am sending this message to both the Newbie list, that could definitely use it and the Expert list, that might find it superfluous. I hope, though, that the completeness of the instructions (along with my Java solution for KDE 2.1) might be of use to experts who are bombarded by requests from newbies. Just save these two messages and forward it to them. -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] Partition information?
Well the problem is not mine, I was merely responding to a question by someone else. df is a good tool, but for cases where not all partitions have been mounted and to find the locations of swap partitions (some people use several), gpart would be a better tool. I haven't tried this myself, it is only what I have read at the gpart website.

[newbie] Where to find IB 's Java -- Instructions
Dear friends: I had forgotten how difficult it was for me to find the IBM JRE. I knew it existed because KDE lists it on their www.konqueror.org page (even though they claim it doesn't work) and because of the note by Zeljko Vukman, who said that he had replaced Sun's Java with IBM's and that IBM's JVM worked perfectly in KDE 2.0 (or was it 2.1?). OK, here is the full info. I will post it to the list. 1) General page for IBM porting of its JDK to various platforms, including Linux: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/index.html 2) IBM Developer Kit for Linux: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux130/ 3) DOWNLOAD PAGE for IBM 1.3-6 JRE: http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/dklx130/dklx130-p The file you download is an RPM file but with your registration user name attached to it. Simply change the name to drop off the last part: For example, my file arrived in the following form, more or less: IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpmSher07 I then renamed it as follows: mv IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpmSher07 IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpm And then I just installed it: rpm -Uvh IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-6.0.i386.rpm It installs into /opt/IBM1.3-6 All that remains is to configure Konqueror, the Browser, in KDE 2.1 (Settings, Browser, Java, Path: /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/bin/java [sher@mindspring sher]$ cd /opt [sher@mindspring /opt]$ ls IBMJava2-13/ [sher@mindspring /opt]$ cd IBMJava2-13/ [sher@mindspring IBMJava2-13]$ ls docs/ jre/ [sher@mindspring IBMJava2-13]$ cd jre [sher@mindspring jre]$ ls bin/ lib/ [sher@mindspring jre]$ cd bin [sher@mindspring bin]$ ls JavaPluginControlPanel* libJdbcOdbc.so* libjava.so* libzip.so* awt_robot* libagent.so*libjavaplugin12.so* oldjava* classic/ libawt.so* libjdwp.so* oldjavaw* exe/ libcmm.so* libjitc.so* policytool* java*libdcpr.so* libjpeg.so* rmid* javaplugin.so* libdt_socket.so*libjsound.so* rmiregistry* javaw* libfontmanager.so* libnet.so* tnameserv* jvmtcf* libhpi.so* liborb.so* keytool* libhprof.so*libxhpi.so* [sher@mindspring bin]$ 4) Please try your IBM Java on your favorite sites and let us know if it works for you.

RE: [[newbie] Linux PDA: would you use one?] Not based on . . .
I would definately buy a Linux PDA over any other for the sheer customizability and fun factor. While there may be some drawbacks (if you had to make it a Linux PDA yourself, for example, that would be tough), the potential is there for extremely superior options. That's at least how I would look at it. The Linux PDA's I've seen (mostly the iPaq running Pocket Linux I think) seem to work rather well, with more or less the same functionaility as their closed-source counterparts, just a lot prettier. But What I would love to see, and use if it was available, would be the abillity to connect my PDA to my home network, not just hotsync it to one computer. I guess it all depends on how much development is going on in this area. No use having the potential if it's a stale project. Luckily, though, It seems that a lot of people are working on Linux PDA's in general. And I'm very excited to see where that will go. Actually, I would love to buy one soon if I found a somewhat affordable one. -Paul R -- Just curious, if it was affordable would y'all go for a linux PDA over a palm or ce PDA?

[newbie] KPPP problems
I am running Mandrake 7.2 with the latest updates of kppp, netscape and Konqueror. I have an external modem on tty0 which connects using kppp without difficulty. I have just lost my slow/unreliable DSL connection, and replaced it with a 56k dial-up. For some reason, which escapes me at present, I am unable to get netscape (or the rest of the system for that matter) to recognize the change. The modem dials and connects without difficulty but the I cannot resolve addresses in Netscape or Konqueror. I have changed etc/resolve.conf to reflect the change in DNS servers. It appears the requests are not being transmitted to the modem, as the lights do not flash and no packets are noted in the log screen. I think the system is still trying to resolve addresses through the ethernet connection to the router. Is there something in networking I need to change to get the system to recognize the dialup connection? Jim -- James Mellema - Linux User #71650

Re: [newbie] Why is 7.2 so much slower than 7.1?
I just installed 7.2 on a 300PII with 64M Ram and a 256M Swap Partition. KDE is running extremely slow, many times slower than 7.1. It's almost to the point I'm considering re-installing 7.1. Does anyone know why this is? Did I do something wrong on the install? I noticed the same thing with a PII 266 96Mb. After some half hearted investigating I noted that there seemed to be a lot of services turned on by default in 7.2. If you surf around on Mandrake User (www.mandrakeuser.org) you will find a description of all the daemons and can choose those you don't need. Instructions for temporarily or permanently turning of specific daemons are provided. I found that turning of httpd made a huge difference. (I don't use this machine as a web server.) Good luck. Paul

As one kind member of the list explained to me, you can easily launch as many windows as you wish from Netscape's menu (File, New, Navigator window). This, I was told, is also much preferable because you save an enormous amount of wasted memory every time you launch the entire Netscape application by clicking on it.

[newbie] MODEM Com port?
I'm using a 3-Com (USR) MD-U56P2977 PCI hardware (they told me) MODEM. The BIOS in the 'pooter assigned it to Com 5, according to win dev mgr. Trouble is, X or Gnome deal only with Coms 1 - 4, so I can't reconfigure the SW in a GUI. Sadly, I don't know enuff yet to do it in console mode. I've been searching MUO, MNO, etc, but haven't found any specific info yet. Can anyone tell me where the info is stored and how to access/change the com port? TIA, Charley
Re: [newbie] KPPP problems
OK, my turn (again!!) I had a problem with my main box and I re-installed 7.2 just as I had done on my laptop. I'm coming to you via my laptop now. The main box seemed to load up ok. Then I try ti connect to the net and I get the same problem that the original poster has with his connection when he lost his hi-speed line. I hear the modem dial ok and seems to connect, but netscape doesn't want to. I did the same setup that I used for the laptop. Do I have some strange hardware problem? Everything seems to run alright otherwise. I only setup both boxes via linuxconf and the kppp setup dialogs. I'm really confused! pete

Look on Mandrake's home page (http://www.mandrake.com) under "Downloads". There you will find URL mirrors in your area and country. Select the one in North America if you live in the USA and Canada. Don't select metalab.unc.edu. They only carry the latest version of LM72 without all the bells and whistles. 2) Navigate till you get to Mandrake's "mandrake-devel" directory. Then, go to the "unsupported" directory. Then i586. At the very top, you will find a directory called KDE 2.1. Open it and you'll find EVERY file you will need to install KDE 2.1 EXCEPT for "apmd." You can get that file from Mandrake 7.2. It's part of the regular Mandrake 7.2 distro. Now create a KDE 2.1 directory in your home directory /home/user/KDE 2-1/ make sure to open the directory and now, using your broadband, download every file from the remote KDE 2.1 directory into your home KDE 2.1 directory. Warning: most of us don't need all those language files that follow "arts... (the very first file in the KDE 2.1 directory -- you do need this file). So, the best way to handle this is to select ALL files, then quickly unselect the language files from "Brazil" to "Ukrainian". Otherwise, every file should be highlighted. Now download them all at once, if your ftp client allows for it. If not, download them individually into your /home/user/KDE 2.1 directory. When you have completed your downloading, close your ftp client. Now, before you install anything, be sure to first install the apmd rpm. You will need it to install everything else. When that's done, go to /home/user/KDE2-1 and type: #rpm -Uvh --replacefiles *.* The "replacefiles" argument is needed to allow the new KDE files to replace certain files that conflict with the old rpms. Your installation should not go smoothly but have patience. The only apparent problem (a non-problem) has to do with the doc files. You will so a host of messages about them. Just ignore them. The installation will continue all the way to the last file: "qt-static-libraries 2.2.4-3." And, by the way, it's a good idea to check the files in the remote directory against the files in your home directory before proceeding, including the file sizes. Your new KDE 2.1 should now be ready. Just for the fun of it, reboot your system. You will now log into the new KDE 2.1. First thing you should do is to take care of the rpm data base and your menus: Thus: 1) #rpm --rebuilddb (i.e. rebuild your rpm data base (db). Have patience. This takes about 5 minutes. 2) Now, for the menus: #update-menus -v This command adjusts the menus for all your desktops and window managers. One little bug: When it ends with fvm, it doesn't return you to a regular prompt. Just wait a minute or two and when you are SURE that the process has ended, just type Cnt +C and you'll be back at your regular prompt. Now reboot one last time for the menu and rpm changes to take effect and your new KDE 2.1 is at your service. Notice especially the improvements in Konqueror and Kmail. One caveat: There is a little annoying but insignificant bug in Netscape in KDE 2.1 that I raised a hue and cry about because I thought it was a KDE bug that needed urgent attention: You can only launch one instance of Netscape (or Mozilla) at a time, that is, by clicking on the Netscape icon. As one kind member of the list explained to me, you can easily launch as many windows as you wish from Netscape's menu (File, New, Navigator window).

I will wait until Version 8 is officially out. The KDE2.1 Final Release installation should be quite transparent.

Thanx in advance, Paul Paul, I am very surprised by the lack of distributors in Toronto. We have a large abundance of computer stores but you can't even count on 'one hand' the amount of distributors. It's damn embarrassing.

Re: [newbie] Hi everybody, need you people to say something.
sigh... here's my last reply (hurrah!) to a non-linux question - all I was trying to do is point out that the message formatting has been mentioned in the past, and that people get all bent out of shape about it, to the point of yelling and stuff. Unless the Mandrake rulers-of-the-mailing-list imposed a message format, and outlined it when people sign up, I just don't believe that the attempt at standardizing, although I think its a good idea, will work.

I doubt the idea of a message standard is going to go far, except to unleash another barrage of non-linux, non-mandrake related emails, of which I am guilty of contributing to now.

There's really nothing new here, it's a typical Uncle Billy PR deal without substance. Billy's been opening his code on a 'need to know' basis to bigger 'customers' since day one. For a fairly concise disscussion of this, search recent linux-kernel mailing list archives. About the only one who hasn't bothered to comment is Linus himself.

Re: [newbie] KPPP problems

Jim Further information with my connection problem: went to root an dstarted ppp0 in linuxconf. It dials, connects, and netscape works. Now I need to get it to work in my user space. I 'su'ed to root and did a 'ifup ppp0' modem dialed and everything works, but I think there must be a better way, I'll take any suggestions.

Re: [newbie] MODEM Com port?
Actually, Ed, I had much the same problem. USR's technical support(including web site) was about as helpful as sticking my face in a meat grinder. That's a gripe for another time, however. While he could disable PnP in his BIOS it could affect the modem's operation in windows. I was directed to the following information by another member of this list, as a matter of fact. You need to tag this onto the end of one of your startup scripts: exec setserial /dev/ttyS4 irq ? port ? ^fourport ^auto_irq skip_test autoconfig spd_vhi You will need to replace the first question mark with the IRQ that the device is using. You can either do this by looking for the device's information in /proc/pci or, if you're not quite on your penguin feet yet, in the windows device manager. The port setting(second question mark) I'd suggest you find in the /proc/pci file. (Might try "grep -A 5 USR" if you don't feel like digging through the whole file. If your kernel doesn't recognize the brand of the modem it may not work, though.) Once you have that information in the startup script you'll want to(as root) go into the /dev/ directory and do the following rm -f modem ln -s /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem Then you can use the device /dev/modem in any dialer from then on. Hope this works for you.

I'm using a 3-Com (USR) MD-U56P2977 PCI hardware (they told me) MODEM. The BIOS in the 'pooter assigned it to Com 5, according to win dev mgr. Trouble is, X or Gnome deal only with Coms 1 - 4, so I can't reconfigure the SW in a GUI. Sadly, I don't know enuff yet to do it in console mode.

Re: [newbie] Real Player 8.0

Try http://www.cbsnews.com or http://www.cnn.com and tell us if you can access them or any embedded Real files, streaming or archived. Thanks Benjamin I tried the rpm, which has always worked for me, and this time got a kernel panic like I have never seen...7.2 with kde 2.1 but otherwise stock. Never seen this before, and I have installed it at least 10 times on my old p3. Is there a problem with linux-mandrake and athlons?? -- -michael-
