[newbie-it] Winmodem
Salve a tutti. Espongo il problema: - in un Acer TravelMate 525 (con una bella Mandrake 8.0, dove tutto funziona eccetto il modem..) c'è un winmodem (Lucent) - scarico da ziobudda.net il driver (almeno ho capito che era una cosa del genere) e lo scompatto con tutte le relative cosine del caso - installo alcuni comandi che non c'erano suggeriti (per così dire) dallo ziobudda - lancio i comandi - non succede niente. Ora chiedo: - qualche dritta elementare sulla procedura (tipo passo passo) - qualche link (in italiano, scusate l'ignoranza) facile (non ne ho trovati..) - tante grazie a tutti. Andrea M.

Re: [newbie] Fwd: OT:Mayor problems with MBR need help desp.
Whatever yo do, DON'T reinstall Windows. If you do, booting into
GNU/Linux will not be possible unless you do a lot of messing around.
In the Mandrake Control Centre ('Configuration' - 'Other' -
'Mandrake Control Centre' in the Mandrake menus) click 'Boot' - 'Boot
Config' - 'Configure'. You can configure LILO/GRUB from this wizard.

The fdisk /mbr command sets your MBR to refer to the boot record

this is the partition that will boot at startup.
The WinNT loader is stored on the boot record of the partition
that WInNT is installed, not on the MBR. You can do the same with
other boot loaders like LILO and GRUB. When you configure these,
write to your GNU/Linux partition and not to then MBR. Use a tool
like fdisk to set your active partition to the one with that boot
loader installed and then in DOS issue a fdisk /mbr. This method
is much more flexible than writing to your MBR since the partition
to be booted from can be changed simply by changing the active
partition. If you are having problems with LILO or GRUB starting
(preventing you from booting GNU/Linux), you can change the active
partiton to your Windos partition using fdisk and then try to fix
the problem from there.

Thaks for helping me with the loopback... I was able to put it to work using ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 It's really strange why I have to do this in order to work.

[newbie] Masquerading and IPTables
1. Is there a howto on Masquerading for Mandrake 8.0? I had it working fine
under 6.0 - 7.1, but not now... I have a static IP (203.14.156.30) and an
internal LAN using 10.0.2.15 for this box and 10.0.2.16 for a WinME box.
One thing I have found is that a friend's box has four tabs in netconf, one
being for forwarding and such - I don't have that tab available so something's
missing - can someone please tell me what package will add that seemingly
critical tab to netconf?
2. I had a resonable firewall under the older versions using ipchains - what's
the best way to convertthe old one into iptables? (since it seems I can no
longer use ipchains?)
Thanks in advance for any help...

Re: [newbie] Antivirus software on Linux?
There are no anti-virus programmes for GNU/Linux -- the main reason for this being the lack of virii for this OS. UNIX/Linux virii usually exploit security holes in software. In every case security fixes had been available long before the attacks. In other words, the few who were affected by virii suffered only because they had not kept their systems up-to-date with the latest packages. The best virus protection you can have is to keep you system up-to-date with the latest official Mandrake package releases. Software Manager is ideal for this. In the M$ world, things are different. M$ don't bother fixing the holes that virii exploit, instead delegating the job to virus scanning companies, who can merely scan for virii, not fix the holes.. This means you have to frequently scan your discs, and if something *does* get through the protection (no virus scanner is 100% accurate) you're seriously stuffed. You may see virus scanners available for GNU/Linux -- these are made to detect Windows viruses (which can't harm GNU/Linux at all). This can be useful if you have multiple OSs installed, or if you share a network with WIndos boxes.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to run through the Mandrake installation again. Pop your CD in, reboot, and choose an upgrade install (expert mode).

Also, mildly annoying but not as big of a deal, when Mandrake boots, the sound for whatever channel I was last playing in windows starts, and doesn't stop until I start XawTV and then quit it.

Re: [newbie] Antivirus software on Linux?
This just proves the point I made earlier. If you look below you shall notice I said: quote You may see virus scanners available for GNU/Linux -- these are made to detect Windows viruses (which can't harm GNU/Linux at all). This can be useful if you have multiple OSs installed, or if you share a network with WIndos boxes. /quote These programmes are no different. If you look at the Technical Information introduction (http://www.amavis.org/amavis.html#intro), you will see it says: quote Most people will say: A virus scanner? For UN*X? Why? Viruses do not work in a UNIX environment. On the first glance they are right (even if there are at least two viruses which run under Linux - well, actually they are Trojan Horses). On the second view though, imagine a heterogene network environment with both UN*X and DOS / Windows / Macintosh workstations. Now think of an UN*X server that serves Windows and/or Macintosh workstations via a POP3 service. Would it not be nice to ensure attachments coming via email are scanned for viruses before they reach a system they are able to infect? Well - that is what this package is for. It resides on the server that handles your incoming mails. When a mail arrives, instead of being delivered via procmail directly, is parsed through a script that extracts all attachments from the mail, unpacks (if needed) and scannes them using a professional virus scanner program. /quote In other words, these scanners do run on GNU/Linux, but scan for WIndows virii. This ensures that all e-mail is clean *before* it retreived onto a system that is capable of being infected. On Tue, 12 Jun 2001 03:33, Michael D. Viron wrote: Actually, that isn't the case.

[newbie] Install help
I have been running 7.1 for sometime now. It has been great and has worked beautifully. I installed 7.2 on another machine and it has worked great, but when I backed up my files and did a fresh install of 7.2 over 7.1, that's where everything went to hell. It took over three hours per attempt. Everything went fine until it completed it's install and tried to reboot, it locked up both times and i had to boot from a floppy. On my graphical login it created another user named Tina?, both times, it only recognized 64M of memory instead of 160M, even though I indicated the right amount, It performs like I'm running NT Server on a 286 with 32M RAM. When I tried to use kmail to send my message in a bottle, I got the address wrong the first time, and now, no matter what I do to correct it, it won't allow me to send a message to the list. it keeps bringing up the first mistake I made over and over, I had to configure Netscape messenger to even send this. My clock is totally wrong even the day of the week. I can reset it, but it's neccesary every time it boots. Can anybody suggest something short of going back to 7.1 or Redhat? Thanks, No sleep and disgusted

Re: [newbie] SCSI emulation

In addition, the new drive is a dvd/cdrw combo deal, and it is correctly identified in kde systems control and harddrake. again yaayyy. However, the scsi emulation did not automagically get configured. Where is an uptodate site I can look to get this set up? TIA, -s SCSI Emulation is in two parts--first a message to the kernel to tell it to assume emulation is done Second is a modprobe of scsi and a link to the appropriate SCSI device The first part is simple in /etc/lilo.conf or in drakboot (Control Center Boot Config) make sure you have this in the append hdc=ide-scsi if for example it is hdc. Now in /dev you need to do the following cd /dev rm cdrom2 ln -s scd0 cdrom2 if, for example, the /etc/fstab entry uses /dev/cdrom2 for your CDRW. Finally somewhere you need a modprobe ide-scsi It can be dropped int the next to last line of /etc/rc.local (an extra one won't hurt if your system is already doing one) It is a little known fact that ordinaty plain vanilla CDROMs can also be scsi-emulated in the same manner. Our tests over the past 5 months show this works just as well as the dual structure we now support.

There could be several other reasons your CD-R is not working in 7.2. I would have to see setup information for your specific machine but if it is not an LG and it is not sharing an IDE channel with a DVD or a CDROM, it will work, almost always. In those cases mentioned, an installation of kernel 2.2.19 is required and still some LGs don't work. Civileme Please can anybody tell me if that module is loaded by LM 8.0, or it is still missing in that version? Check out in /lib/modules/(mandrake_kernel_version)/scsi FWIW, it is there, but at file:/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi. And it still is not needed. Thank you very much, Roberto Herrero
