Alcuni esempi: se devi aggiornare un pacchetto: rpm -Uvh nomepacchettorpm se devi installare ex novo: rpm -ivh nomepacchettorpm Se il pacchetto è diviso in più file di tipo rpm, allora il comando potrbbe essere: rpm -Uvh *.rpm (devi posizionarti all'interno della directory o dell'unità che contiene gli rpm). E così via... Con l'interfaccia grafica basta che fai un clic sull'rpm da installare e si apre automaticamente il software manager. E' consigliabile comunque, a maggior ragione se si devono installare più rpm, utilizzare la linea di comando e non l'interfaccia grafica.

L'effettaccio, come dici tu, non si può verificare perchè le partizioni linux non si possono montare da win.

Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2?
That's a relative question. The PS2's CPU is powerful, very powerful. And compare to a 286 it's really fast, but compared to a 1.5G Athlon it's slowwer. I think it's equal to a 900Mhz P3 or something like that. The thing about the PS2's CPU is it is optimized for the hardware that the PS2 uses and for graphic and sound intensive applications, which most normal processors aren't. AMD has 3dNow and Intel has SSE for graphics but they are also designed to do other things. Where as the PS2's one is focussed on graphics and sound. Don't get me wrong, the PS2 CPU can do other things like any normal processor but it excels at those 2 fields where normal processors are more balanced.

RE: [newbie] linux for sony ps2?
Nope, PS2 CPU isn't really even close to it,, the PS does one thing really well, Graphics and sound, as in games... mostly because the whole thing is optimised for just that.. To give you an indication, the Xbox when it comes out, is supposed to be the most powerful gaming console ever released.. and its nothing but a PIII 800 and a geoforce3, which is along way from the top compared to 1.4gig athlons and P-IV 2000 Note that the video of the Xbox is slightly better then a PC geoforce3 (so I read) the focus is more on the video then the CPU, all the CPU has to do, is be fast enough to feed the video (simplisticly speaking) As for the P2 OS, is there anyway you can back it up?? if you can do that, whats the problem with trying??? Perhaps sony sell PS II os on CD?? its worth checking out.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mohammed Arafa Sent: Thursday, 27 September 2001 3:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2? cool thanks i am using this info to prove a case to a friend of mine, who was asking about the ps2, since it seems so awesome. got a q tho that he asked, is the cpu on the ps 2 more powerful than that on the pc? coz his first question was if it actually costs cheaper (minus monitor and printer etc) why dont they put an os on it and i told him yes there is linux on ps2 i think the next step would be to give him the links and let him d/l it and install it (if he is so inclined .. i m not touching it and destroying the ps2 os ;) - Original Message - From: Robert MacLean [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 5:51 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2? try this it's in Japanese (sorry if I spelt that wrong) but there is a link to translate it to English http://www.jp.playstation.com/linux/ Robert MacLean . - Original Message - From: shane [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2001 4:57 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] linux for sony ps2? well you can start here http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,s2085867,00.html but it doesn't look promising.

[newbie] Mandrake Benchmarked against win2000 server for web and other serving??
Hi all, I have seen many benchmarks between Redhat and windows many times, I am curious to see how mandrake fares against RedHat or Windows for the same tasks.. Ie, static and dynamic web hosting.. file sharing and anything of that nature... All the recent tests I have seen between Redhat and windows 2000 server, redhat has fared very well.. One example was a raid prefab web server, the raid was IDE and didn't work in linux, so the linux test was single drive vrs raid on windows 2000... The results were interesting to say the least... On static serving, IIS got a tiny lead, most likely due to the fact that it had raid and Redhat linux didn't. Whereas on the Dynamic serving, even without raid, Redhat almost doubled the speed of the IIS server (which had raid.) So I find myself wondering how mandrake would fare because of its i586 compile, and things like the SGI enhanced apache... Just a thought and if anyone knows of any benchmarks involving mandrake against windows or other linux distro's, I'd love to hear about them.

Probably your best bet is to configure your desktop environment (either KDE or Gnome) to use gFTP for all ftp:// URLs. Unfortunately, this may not have an effect from within Mozilla, but in other apps it should. Not sure off-hand if Mozilla can be configured this way as well.

RE: [newbie] Installing Zip drive on 8.0

[newbie] Login prompt
I had a problem with settings in X and could only see a blank screen when KDE started at boot-time. I managed to fix this with the Xfree86config tool, but I decided it would be easier to boot to a cosole login prompt and so I changed my default run level to 3 in /etc/inittab. This works fine, except that after the localhost.login prompt shows there is a pause for a second or two then half a screenful of stuff about winbond super-io detection and other winbond things appears. If I have started to enter my user name or password this completely screws the login and I have to wait and try again. I don't get a new login prompt after the winbond stuff but I can login ok. This is only a minor irritation, but can anyone advise how to suppress the winbond output or throw it up before the login promp please.

It is my understanding that the box version should start appearing in appox. a week. It will be mid to late Oct. before the PowerPack is out. If you have pre-ordered, or order the PowerPack through MandrakeSoft you will be sent the download set as soon as they are burned. This should br accomplished rather quickly since no box or manuals are neeeded. When installing the Powerpack you can run it as an Upgrade to the 8.1 installation or use the MandrakeUpdate option in the SoftwareMgr. Charles (-: P.S. I pre-ordered the PPack but I want everything yesterday so I have already downloaded the ISOs and plan to install on at least 1 machine this afternoon.
