If so once installed you need to configure some stuff before you can browse if you dont you'll be able to connect to the net but not reach any web sites. The usual error is host unreachable (I think) If this is the case you have 2 options 1. Configure Shorewall. You can get sample config scripts and info from their website (http://www.shorewall.net/). I didnt take this option so I cant help any further here. 2. Remove Shorewall This I did do. Remove shorewall using the remove software gui. You also have to remove iptables as Shorewall plays with the iptables config (and this is what is actually blocking you). Reboot and install iptables again to get it back to its original state.

Okay, this definitely fits in the newbie catagory... I've been playing around with my dual-boot Win2k/ML9 install, when it finally got to me that I can't really interact with the Windows partition, due to the NT file system. So, I decided to downgrade the Windows install to Win98SE. Now, what makes this a newbie issue is that fact that I blindly deleted the first partition on the drive, which happened to have both the Win2k install and the boot loader redirectory, so now I can't boot into Windows (duh) NOR Linux! (I understand that's not entirely true, but for newbie purposes we'll presume that it is) So, in perfect newbie fashion, I decided to pop in my Compaq Evo N150 recovery disc and completely start ALL OVER AGAIN!

Re: [newbie] Linux w/ Win98SE
Flux, My only comment on your predicument is that I can't see why you are downgrading to Win 98 SE? Did you have a problem with Win 2K that makes you want to go to a less robust and older version? Win 2K can be reloaded with a FAT32 partition instead of NTFS. As long as you own the 'better' version of Windows and it's not giving you any problems, I wouldn't load Win 98 SE just to get the FAT32 and sharing between the two O/S's. My take on this. Good luck in whatever you do.

At first it seemed to be the entries in fstab for supermount in conjunction with scsi-emulation that are the problem, and to that end I tried removing the none in front of the fstab entries for the cdrom's ,my reasoning being that perhaps under scsi-emulation cdrom's are real devices , but then the above supermount entries do not work with my floppy drives either , which of course are not scsi-emulated.

RE: [newbie] Linux w/ Win98SE
I agree with this. I can't remember if the W2K install won't let you create a fat32 partition. If that's the case, you can still use the W98 boot floppy to create partitions with fdisk, then run W2K install. W2K (XP too) is happy to install onto fat32. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:newbie-owner;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Technoslick Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 10:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Linux w/ Win98SE My only comment on your predicument is that I can't see why you are downgrading to Win 98 SE?

I don't think your position is impossible but obviously you have to recreate that missing partition without destroying existing mandrake partitions , I don't believe either of the Windblows OS's will format the whole drive if you tell it to just format the right partition, but obviously that partition has to be remade and designated a primary dos partition.It must of been the first partition on your drive, so it will get recreated with a bit of luck as a primary anyway. -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] wondering about 9.0 pre-orders
Title: RE: [newbie] wondering about 9.0 pre-orders Actually the commercial cycle is fairly rapid for Mandrake. Once the final code is set in the testing phase they have to go to production. Printing and pressing CDs in large quantities, getting the components to the fulfillment contractor and packaging, takes more than just a few days. So, Mandrakes policy has been to release the final to the mirrors as soon as the code is locked down and start the manufacturing process at that point. 4 to 6 week lag.

RE: [newbie] wondering about 9.0 pre-orders
You're right about that. Most of the folks in my region have had cable modems and/or DSL available for years, but I seem to live in a little pocket that for some reason has been neglected on both fronts. The SBC commercials say whatever it takes. Yeah, right. And what's this I keep reading about telecommunications infrastructure being overbuilt in the 90's? For a long time I lamented the fact I couldn't get broadband, but have lately realized I really don't need it 99% of the time. Maybe it's just sour grapes. Anyway, I used Fresh Download which is freeware (registration after 30 days is free) to manage the download of the three mandrake CDs.

Re: [newbie] Disk Full notification?
It's running. After looking at this issue again, I realized that I had no notification at all under Debian, where there is no partmon. However, under Mandrake, I get messages saying that the drive is full, but cp keeps going, leaving 0 length files. Not much better. It would be nice if partmon would stop cp and delete the last partial file created.

Are you trying to burn a back-up from October 25 direct to CD-RW? Or is it already made and you just want to copy it to the CD? Either way the following how-to article may be of some benefit to you: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5327 I still get:- 'cdrecord: Trying to use high speed medium on low speed writer'. That ain't an error my friend, it's a warning. Theory says that you should use media that is compatible (speed rating for one) with the drive you're using to minimize the risk of damage. Your drive (and mine) maxes at 4x4x24 and the media is rated for higher speed. Most of the time it won't matter but you may want to think about verifying the burn before you need it. For example all of the blank CD-Rs (spindle of 50 90 minute and a box of ten 80 minute) I have are rated at up to 40x certified but there's slim chance I'll buy a new burner before I'm forced to. I probably wouldn't burn at that high speed anyway since I don't need any more coasters/ornaments. I made enough under Windows for a lifetime. ;-) The Mitsumi still makes usable install disks or anything else I need. I'll worry when it doesn't. It looks as if I need to rewrite some 'cdrecord' files to get your values. Hav'nt found the files yet, if you know what file please let me know.The /usr/bin/cdrecord is not a script file, referred to as 'Type unknown 238.9 KB.' in 'Properties'. That's the actual executable.

Re: [newbie] M9.0 and Supermount

I hate supermount. which is wrong because I have both my dvd and writer configured under scsi-emulation in lilo.conf so that the writer programmes can use them both' with ,append=quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi nobiospnp So what? The burner software will access them over SCSI and the rest will access them as IDE. It's a better solution the way I see it. (I'm not and ide-scsi or burner expert, so get somebody to check me on this...) So I rewrote fstab:- none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy2 supermount dev=/dev/fd1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 Note : DVD is master Writer Slave on same IDE line. However, having created on desktop in the usual right mouse click way four icons, CD/DVD-ROM Device , pointing to /mnt/cdrom supermount CD/DVD-ROM Device2 , pointing to /mnt/cdrom2 supermount Floppy Device a , pointing to /mnt/floppy supermount Floppy Device b , pointing to /mnt/floppy2 supermount none of them will mount and display anything instead I get reported, Could not mount device, reported error:- mount: Can't find supermount in /etc/fstab, and /etc/mtab Having said that, xcdroast recognises the devices , so it likes the entries in fstab and lilo.conf. At first it seemed to be the entries in fstab for supermount in conjunction with scsi-emulation that are the problem, and to that end I tried removing the none in front of the fstab entries for the cdrom's ,my reasoning being that perhaps under scsi-emulation cdrom's are real devices , but then the above supermount entries do not work with my floppy drives either , which of course are not scsi-emulated. So what is the problem ? John Your best bet is to screw supermount,if you can deal with mount and umount (not that hard). Change the /etc/fstab back to the way it was before and do: supermount disable as root.

Re: [newbie] 9.0 upgrade - internet sluggishness
Having a local APIC in an ACPI (kernel-patched) computer is a MAJOR problem -- can cause lockups at boot. Either disable it, or disable SMP and Local APIC support in your kernel (you probably don't want to recompile your kernel).

[newbie] Scanner probs
Well as of right now I don't have Linux installed, but if I can figure this out i'll reinstall it (if I have all of my hardware working, then why use Windows? =p) Ok, so anyways, when I had Linux, it seemed to know that I had a HP ScanJet 3300C scanner plugged in (in the hardware listing and such). But when I tried to use it, nothing seemed to happen. Does this mean I need some sort of driver for it to work for Linux? Because HP doesn't supply a driver for Linux.

[newbie] Learn From My Mistakes
Greetings all. I just posted an essay on my web site which I thought might be words of warning to the newbies, and amusing for the people who know what they are doing. Part of the essay is a review of Mandrake 8.2 -- which doesn't matter much since 9.0 is out now. Part of it is the story of how I tried to reconfigure my partitions and operating systems and how along the way I make mistakes and did dumb things. As always however, it was a learning experience. Find it at: 204eastsouth.com/linux08.htm I hope this keeps someone from doing some of the things I did. Enjoy.
