R: [newbie-it] Connessione satellitare[OT]
Grazie ragazzi, per tutte le informazioni. Sono molto curioso: che progetto hai portato avanti, Pasquale? Purtroppo la rete GSM in Etiopia (zona nord al confine con lEritrea, precisamente ad Adwa), non arriva; alla missione sono infatti costretti ad utilizzare il telefono satellitare. Adesso provo ad informarmi.

RE: [newbie-it] help: invio email....
Prova a immettere l'indirizzo SMTP di Virgilio negli altri account, dovrebbe funzionare. E' una tattica comune nella gestione di piu' indirizzi, in quanto molto spesso i provider (specialmente quelli gratuiti) lasciano il permesso di accedere ai server POP3 (che sono quelli appositi per ricever la posta) dei provider concorrenti, ma vietano l'accesso ai server SMTP (che sono quelli appositi per gestire l'invio delle e-mail) per (almeno dicono) questioni di sicurezza e anti spam. si ti confermo che io ho fatto lo stesso.fai attenzione che alcuni richiedono per smtp l'autenticazione del server..ma non sembra sia tra quelli da te elencati Quindi per risolvere il problema, quando si configurano piu' indirizzi, si tengono validi i server POP3 di ogni provider, ma si usa sempre lo stesso server SMTP che e' quello del provider con cui ci si connette ad internet. esatto...ricordatelo quando scegli la connessione da lanciare :-) Fulvio

First , type in a terminal, cdrecord -scanbus and report the result. this will list where the writer is listed on the bus. your writer has tobe listed in /etc/fstab to be mounted correctly, it would be a good idea to report what you have there.

Re: [newbie] RE: Difference between 'ISO images' and ' Linux 9.0 for i586'
You will find that after Windows there will be a big culture shock with any Linux. 9.0 is a good distro and you will learn lots. Its just that if you were going to spend hours downloading a distro I thought you might like to know the new release is imminent. Upgrading is not too difficult. It is easier if you keep your personal files (your /home directory) on a separate partition. That way you can upgrade by just wiping the old release and install the new one over the top without losing your personal data. derek On Monday 17 Mar 2003 4:53 pm, m wrote: Derek, would it be too much of a difference comparing with 9.1 Beta?

Well, for HTML, you can use texstar's Mozilla XFT package (XFT is similar to Windows XP's ClearType system), if you want to improve fonts system-wide you can also install texstar's freetype/qt packages, you can also upgrade your KDE to version 3.1 .

Your burner needs to be scsi-emulated, whereas your dvd doesn't, so everything looks OK there. What method are you using to try to burn?

Re: [newbie] RE: Difference between 'ISO images' and ' Linux 9.0for i586'
m wrote: I'm about to install Mandrake Linux on my laptop and like to know the difference between those two. I guess I need to download ISO images 3 CDs where first one is bootable but what is the 'Mandrake Linux 9.0 for i586 and higher' download for. Do I need anything from there? Rather than having to download hundreds of files to get a working copy of Mandrake, they wisely chose to group tye numerous files into three large ISO files. WIth your CD burning software, you would tell it to burn from an image or an iso file. It will then do the convert the ISO file into appx. 650mb of individual programs. So you see, an ISO file is simply a bunch of individual files grouped together for easy management. The i586 files are those individual files within the ISO file. They are there in case you need some individual files or for folks that just perfer to use wget to get their files. Download the ISO files, burn each to a cd and load Mandrake from the CD. For Windows CD burning software, I am pretty sure they call an ISO file an image. You would use that option. You may want to try the local Linux Users Group (LUG) and just get a copy from them. They are usually more than willing to help anyone with Linux installs.
