The only reason you have to mount the Suse /boot in Mandrake is to allow Lilo to calculate that sector offset. Hope that works for you.

Re: [newbie] Modem Dialer for Mandrake 9.2
WellI am finally on the net again with 9.2 Thanks to all those that offered help. For those that are interested, this is how I did it. After (another) clean install, I ran drakConnect to set up the connection and restarted before attempting to connect. after the restart, KPPP had not appeared there as it had for one other user, so I installed it from the 9.2 disks. Then I restarted again. This time KPPP had been installed correctly and it had not simultaneously removed most of my other apps like it did last time. Now I attempted to connect using KPPP failed again, the PPP daemon died unexpectedly. When I viewed the error log it told me that the ISP had spat out the username/password I knew I had them entered correctly sa I tried changing a setting (the protocol?) in KPPP from PAP to PAP/CHAP and now all is working fine. - this might be worth noting for others trying to use ancient dial up accounts. I don't know if all the restarts were necessary, but I'm still in the windows mentality of if in doubt - restart when you make any changes to program installations. As for KPPP installing this time but not others, it seems that the order I did things in made the difference this time. Last time I had not configured my connection in drakConnect before attempting to install it and it really screwed my computer up. I wouldn't have thought this should have made any difference though. Any thoughts??? perhaps this would be a handy addition to the Twiki - but I'm still not certain WHY this worked this time so I don't want to go adding notes that are full of bulls#%t -Aidan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I may want to reboot immediately to win2k but there are no options appearing in the reboot / halt options at the login screen. However, if I login to my account then immediately log out, the options appear ( linux, safemode, windows etc.) Is there some way to set these options at boot up so I don't have to login and out to get them to appear?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 9.2 ISO
Do you know if the ISOs have the updates included or are they the same as the bittorent ones with the LG drive patch? Joeb No, Looking at the kernel version I have installed, it doesn't have the LG fix kernel.. The fixed kernel is in the updates directory on the same site though.. I didn't load it because I am thinking of trying packet writing on the HP 9500 burner in this unit.. If you want the LG resolved version, you'll probably have to wait till Mandrake releases it, unless you want to modify the ISO of CD1 yourself.. rgds Franki -- Please sign our petition to encourage notebook manufacturers to offer video card upgrades just like desktops. http://www.petitiononline.com/inspiron/petition.html For free scripts, online webmaster tools, HTML, XHTML, Perl PHP tutorials and stuff, visit: http://htmlfixit.com, Free web developer resources.
