RE: [newbie] executing via cron
it is written in php because i do not knoe c or perl unfortunately -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Michael Viron Sent: 26 December 2001 16:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] executing via cron php is not really meant to be executed via the command line (although it can be). It is meant for dynamic websites. In dynamic websites, php is already 'executed' everytime someone visits the website. If you are going to run something via cron, you'd be better off writing it in perl, C, or shell.

[newbie] folder options
I have just installed mandrake something that is annoying me with KDE is that the default view within the file manager is with icons. Is is possible to have the tree or detailed view as the default. I briefly looked at the prefences and could find it anywhere Thanks Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] install newbie
i'll try that- i forgot about pico- i use it remotely on my server ( brain like a seive) I tried startx as this is what i thought it was- however i may have done start x thanks -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of skidley Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 00:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] install newbie On Thu, 29 Nov 2001, caspar kennerdale wrote: I just installed 8.1 on a linux partition (my computer also has win 2k on it) I have two questions- fistly lilo has set a defualt of 5 seconds to choose the desired os./ Can this be changedto 30 secs or whatever I want? where do I change it- i've looked in the boot folder and have found a message documsnt but it cant be edited.

I can navigate through the folder but most of ot seems to be system files. Thanks in advance For your lilo question, open /etc/lilo.conf with an editor like pico or joe thats easy as you seem to be real new. eg, pico /etc/lilo.conf (as root) Within the first few lines you'll see an option: timeout=50, this is in milliseconds, You can change it to 300 for 30 secs or whatever you want. Save the edited file andthen at command line type lilo and enter to rerun lilo and update it. To start X at the command line type startx. You can use other commands for different desktops but for a start just type startx. -- Chad Young Registered Linux User #195191 @ http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] VM Ware
I am on windows 2000 at work and have a copy of vmware I have a cd copy of a bootbale version of manadrke 7.1 from a friend of mine- this was successfully used to install on a 'virgin PC' However on VMware it doesnt recognize the CD- initially it says 'there is no bootable CD' so I have made a boot floppy. This seems to read the floppyt , starts t read the cd and after a few minites gives the message ' this is not a mandrake cd' does anyone have any ideas? is this because the cd is a copy shall i download an iso from a mandrake mirror? do I need all three if so- the inst, ext and supp iso's thanks in advance _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Silly Question?
will mandrake install over a ntfs formatted hardrive i want to install over windows 2000, ideally without repartitioning- (because I'm using a work computer) The 7.1 cd I have wont work (although did with win 98) Also when the compiuter had win 98 it automtaically configured xwindows. I have tried installing under VMwar- and xwindows just wont configure! anyone got any siggestions- or is re-format and dual bot the only way forward thanks in advance _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
