Urka, ma devo patchare il kernel?! 8-) Pensavo che i sorgenti forniti dalla mdk fossero gia` patchati! (e, a pensarci bene, se il kernel non fosse patchato non dovrebbe esserci la casella da attivare per il supporto... o no?) Premesso che non sono affatto esperto di ricompilazione del kernel (mai fatto, ancora!), ad occhio e croce direi di sì: se hai usato i sorgenti forniti dalla Mandrake, dovrebbero già contenere le patch del kernel; ed il fatto che esista una casella da attivare sembrerebbe confermarlo.

RE: [newbie] Uninstall Linux ?
Actually, to remove the lilo, you should boot from ordinary DOS diskete, and type 'fdisk /mbr' - this will remove from MBR record of the LILO (clean it) . About the partitions - i think you should use the Linux's fdisk to remove the ext2 partitions, and then use the DOS fdisk to recreate the regular fat16/32.

There is no uninstall method, except to fdisk format the drive. 'fdisk /mbr' (from a DOS prompt -- boot from a Win98 boot diskette) will get rid of LILO, and 'fdisk' will allow you to delete your non-DOS partition(s) and create one or more DOS partitions. You then need to format each partition (again in DOS, using a Win98 boot diskette) to make them usable. If your boot diskette's version of 'format' will not support fat32, then you can always convert to fat32 after Windows is installed. Dave PGP signature
Re: [newbie] Uninstall Linux ?
If you just need disk space, why not do some housekeeping first and use the Windows tools to clean out the recycle bin, temporary files, old Windows uninstall info, down-loaded files, etc.? Also remove old programs you aren't using any more. You will be shocked how much space can be recovered and you may be able to keep Linux. I keep my disk cleaned up and I just checked and I can recover 140MB from less than a week. Run Disk Cleanup in System Tools. Also in in your browser, reduce the time for hanging on to history. I use ten days and if I haven't returned to a site within 10 days, I probably never will. Of course if you really want to throw Linux away, follow the instructions Civileme sent.

Dave Dave, Michael S, and original poster, Actually, you won't be able to remove the ext2 partitions with windows fdisk--what you've done if you clear the mbr first is no way to get into linux (other than via a boot disk) to remove the ext2 partition information. What needs to happen is boot using something similar to tom's root / boot disk (link should be off the distribution page of linux.org) or into your linux install, run linux fdisk as root, remove all ext2 partitions. Boot into windows, run 'fdisk /mbr' (note, this is windows fdisk), reboot using the floppy, and repartition the drive using windows fdiskm, setting up partitions for a FAT16 or FAT32 partition - if it is a large drive, choose FAT32 (FAT16 has a limit of 2 GB per partition), then format. This is, of course, the same set of instructions that civilme sent to the list.

[newbie] Masquerading and Bastille
Hello all, I have a strange problem with Bastille which I'm hoping someone can help with. I'm running lm8 as a logon server for my windows boxes, and have a dial-up connection shared with Internet connection sharing. I am also running DHCP. Everything seems to work ok, but when I set up InteractiveBastille and turned off Internet connection sharing, DHCP no longer works. If I turn it on and restart Bastille through a shell, everthing works, but I get an error you have Bastille configured for Masquerading and you have enabled Mandrakes Internet connection sharing Can anyone give any suggestions?

[newbie] CD writer
I have recently installed mandrake 8.0. Mostly everything is Ok, but I have one big problem. Although I can access my DVD drive, attempting to access my CD writer inariably crashes the system. Going into harddrake, there appears to be a problem of some sort - the device is listed as both a scsi and an ide interface (it is an ide drive). The drive model is Ricoh MP7083A-DP. I attempted to run the 'drives' tool in harddrake merely because it looked like it might help - however, nothing appeared to happen.

[newbie] KDE Desktop Modifications
I'm hoping that someone on the list can help me out with 2 small problems. I'm in the process of trying to Lock Down KDE on Mandrake 8.0 . In other words, I'm trying to remove some functionality. If successful, users will only have the ability to click on designated icons on the desktop. So far, I've been able to get rid of the panel (taskbar), I've made the desktop read-only, gotten rid of the right-click option on the desktop, and changed permissions on the remainig icons to read and execute only. My last few problems are as follows; 1) After removing the panel and right-click menu, I no longer have a simple way to Log-Off the users, short of using the CTRL-ALT-Backspace keystroke. I assume that since log-offs can be done by clicking a button on the panel, that there is a command that will work, but I have no idea what it is. The logout command - when run from a console will not work, and it suggests that I use exit, which only closes the console. What I need is a command that will start the log-off process by using an icon. 2) I need to eliminate the right-click option when the mouse-pointer is positioned over an icon. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Lanman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] Networking setup
Ideally should should have initially inserted the card BEFORE installing Mandrake, so that it would have set everything up for you. If you already have it in place, you'll need to at least once insert the card BEFORE the machine boots so that HardDrake can configure it. lsdev should then show you if it has been recognized, as will lsmod to show you the module loaded... Though Linuxconf/HardDrake may not get this right on an already installed unit... (actually it does a great job, but the installation scripts are oriented to a first time install...) You'll also have to set up networking in Linuxconf to utilize the card. -JMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |On Behalf Of Robert F.

Re: [newbie] The 2nd Mandrake 8 CD
On Sunday 09 September 2001 22:59, you wrote: It depnds on the packages you choose. Likely you didn't choose anything that was on the second disk. I wanted to install DosEMU and TiMidity and Penguin Command (2nd CD) but they weren't even one of the choices. I've installed and re-installed LM8 several times over the past few months and I've noticed that a minimal install (selecting configuration and the KDE and GNOME desktops) doesn't require the second CD at all. If there is the opossibility you missed something during install, it might be the first step of choosing packages where the install program asks you if you have the 2nd CD available for installing from. I've always installed in the expert mode and it always asks. HTH. I've been through the setup program three times after stuffing up the install by having the X Test Configuraiton crash the install program, when someone tripped over the power plug and when I forgot to choose reiserfs.

I'm in the process of trying to Lock Down KDE on Mandrake 8.0 . In other words, I'm trying to remove some functionality. If successful, users will only have the ability to click on designated icons on the desktop. So far, I've been able to get rid of the panel (taskbar), I've made the desktop read-only, gotten rid of the right-click option on the desktop, and changed permissions on the remainig icons to read and execute only. My last few problems are as follows; 1) After removing the panel and right-click menu, I no longer have a simple way to Log-Off the users, short of using the CTRL-ALT-Backspace keystroke. I assume that since log-offs can be done by clicking a button on the panel, that there is a command that will work, but I have no idea what it is. The logout command - when run from a console will not work, and it suggests that I use exit, which only closes the console. What I need is a command that will start the log-off process by using an icon. 2) I need to eliminate the right-click option when the mouse-pointer is positioned over an icon. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Lanman Both GNOME and KDE have 'kiosk' modes, so-called because they are designed to be used by anybody in an information kiosk.

Hi, everyone.

However, I prefer to run Gnome and would rather log in with gdm, but can't get rid of KDM! I've created /etc/sysconfig/desktop containing only GNOME and /etc/X11/prefdm does seem to specify gdm if the preferred desktop is Gnome, but every time I start up, there's KDM!

My last few problems are as follows; 1) After removing the panel and right-click menu, I no longer have a simple way to Log-Off the users, short of using the CTRL-ALT-Backspace keystroke. I assume that since log-offs can be done by clicking a button on the panel, that there is a command that will work, but I have no idea what it is. The logout command - when run from a console will not work, and it suggests that I use exit, which only closes the console. What I need is a command that will start the log-off process by using an icon. 2) I need to eliminate the right-click option when the mouse-pointer is positioned over an icon.

RE: [newbie] Open source hits back?
yeah, I agree, we don't want to get involved in this sort of thing... However, we don't have the M$ advertising budget,,, the open source comunity needs to start a centralised awareness campaign,,, think of ways we can get the good word out there about just how good the software is... we have several things to lure people in. 1. a FREE Operating system if one choses to get it that way, and very cheap if they want to buy it. 2. Shitloads of FREE applications for nearly everything. 3. Support from some huge companies like IBM. 4. Unparalled stability when compared to any winblows version. 5. Unmatched web exposure with Apache. 6. Free Programming languages like perl. 7. A performance Gap has appeared in some areas with Linux and its growing. There are more too, but you get the idea... The more people we all make aware of this, the more things will change, the only reasons MS FUD and other tactics work, is because people don't know any better and generally won't go out of their way to find out. If everyone on linux lists convinced two other people of its benefits and unbeatable TOC... the number of informed people would grow at an unparalled rate... just my thoughts... but I really think Mandrake/Suse/Redhat/Caldera and all the others (possibly even IBM and similiar) need to have a big meeting and work out ways to Advertise the good word the open source way All of those companies together still don't have the power of MS in advertising and FUD and Lawyers... but they certainly have alot more then any one of them alone.. And its in their best interests,, the more people that know, the more copies they will sell... Also, it will benefit all of them because people who get a start on linux usually end up trying several different Distro's... I did it myself, Slackware, Caldera then Redhat and finally Mandrake, which I am sticking with... it does the job nicely, its easy to setup for the most part, and its as up to date or more so then the other distros... I still use windows sometimes, but I don't use it exclusively and will slowly phazing it out,,, for one thing, M$ will never get a cent out of me for XP... One last thought, if all the distros put more of a contribution (more time and programming expertise then money..) into WINE, and get it to the point that it can run nearly any software, (preferably even the ones that M$ has used their nasty tactics to make difficult...) Then windows wouldn't have a leg left to stand on... particularly if WINE became intelligent enough to run as a background process and detect win32 apps automagically... rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 10 September 2001 8:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Open source hits back? i just read this article and i am incredible disturbed by what i read.

[newbie] Re Internet sharing
I have setup the current version of internet sharing using the gui settings in Drakeconf(mandrake 8.0). I must say it went very smoothly and I have not had any problems until recently. My server is sharing my @home connection to a couple of winME and win2000 machines and I wanted to set up my mail for these units. I am unable to locate the mail server or the news servers on the windows machines. I am able to get the servers from the mandrake box though.

Run the installer, and tell it where you put the RPMs. It will install them for you. Or perhaps I shouldn't use the installer but just try the way I updated KDE (to KDE2.2) by uninstalling those packages that didn't remove other software and then installing all the packages?

[newbie] PARTIONING HARDRIVE
Hi All I have a 17Gb hardrive partitioned into three. C. 2.5Gb, D. 6.55Gb E. 6.55Gb. I had this partitioning done when I was going to install BiOs, but the computer shop installed Windows in all three partitions. I really wanted Windows only in the 1st partition. Now my question is this. Can I delete D and E and format them with Linux leaving C with Windows 98 intact.? This would save me a great deal of installation of Windows programs I have to use, if I deleted the whole drive. I would appreciate it if someone is able to put me on the right track.

It can be very useful to maximise system efficiency. I beleive that diskdrake can do LVM. For more info, look here: http://linux.org.mt/article/lvm -- Sridhar Dhanapalan.
