RE: [newbie] ML9.1rc3 Install
Lee wrote: Okay, I'm not the brightest lightbulb in the pack, but I thought I knew the difference between an install and an upgrade. I attempted to upgrade 8.2 to 9.1rc3 (I know, everyone said don't do it) but that's just me. Then I booted and stalled on kernel panic. Since I had no idea what to do next I rebooted on the CD and chose install, thinking I could look forward to a couple of months of rebuilding all of my 'stuff'. When I rebooted, everything I had done over the past 2 years was there, but better. I am totally amazed. Question is, What did I do right? Why was I not stuck putting mail addresses and everything else back together again? Lee 9.1 defaults to leaving /home alone and formatting the rest, preserving your settings and personal data.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 9.0 Windows XP Co-existing
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marshall Lake Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 7:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Mandrake 9.0 Windows XP Co-existing I have version 9.0 of Mandrake. My hardware is an HP Media Center 873n. I'm having a problem getting Windows XP and Mandrake 9.0 to co-exist. I understand it's better to have Windows already installed when you try to install Mandrake. Is this correct? During the Mandrake installation process at disk partitioning time I have three choices (paraphrasing): 1. Erase entire disk. 2. Use the free space on a Windows partition. 3. Custom partitioning. Selecting option 2 fails. If I select option 3 Mandrake installs all right but trying to boot XP afterwards fails. From the little investigation I've done it seems that maybe I should be installing Windows into a small partition to begin with. But I don't see that the Windows installation process allows me to do that. Another possibility is shrinking the Windows partition before trying to install Mandrake. I'm completely Microsoft and Windows ignorant. Is there a freeware program that will allow me to shrink the Windows partition? Besides the above possibilities, is there something else I can do? -- Marshall Lake -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mlake.net The biggest problem here is that you're using an HP-provided disk to install XP. HP ships restore or recovery disks, not install disks with their systems. You aren't actually installing XP with that disk, you're copying a drive image, which is why you don't get any options when running it. Contact HP support and demand a real install disk -- they'll send one if you insist on it. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

the .asc I suspect refers to ASCII, it is a text file, after all.

RE: [newbie] FTP/Http Install problems - Mandrake memory hungrymonster
Do you have another machine that could function as an NFS server? That's what I did to get 8.2 installed on a similar laptop (150 mHz, 40mb RAM, 5gb HD). FTP/HTTP simply aren't available for any version I looked at if you have less that 48mb RAM. 8.2 runs ok on the machine, but I'd recommend avoiding KDE and Gnome as they're incredibly slow -- if you need a GUI go with something lighter. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stephen Kuhn Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 7:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] FTP/Http Install problems - Mandrake memory hungrymonster On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 14:22, Gareth Hastings wrote: I have a oldish laptop, its a digital HiNote VP (so yes its old) - P133Mhz with 32Mb ram and a 4gb disk.

RE: Re: [newbie] M8.2 with WinXP
Question here -- is your XP install disk OEM or retail? Some of the OEM disks are incompatible with any sort of dual-boot setup due to adding hidden partitions. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 7:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [newbie] M8.2 with WinXP Hi Erik, Ok, i tried what u said. Downloaded AutoClave and ran it. Did 1 pass since i tot that's enough. Reinstalled xp (NTFS). Later, resized it using PQMagic, having Fat32 and ext2. Booted into Mandrake setup.and Got the same problem!!! I feel it's not the harddisk then. Bios perhaps? I also downloaded the clean up program from fujitsu(my harddisk manufacturer).

RE: [newbie] Undelivered mail?
You're getting those because the mailserver handling mandrake's mailing lists is not configured correctly.

Re: [newbie] (in desperation, I repost) 52MB limit
From: Jon Dowd [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd like to do a network install. I can mount the CD in another box and make a network connection to it but I get an error message stating that 52MB RAM is needed. Jon -- you'll need to use NFS rather than FTP to do a network install on that machine. There's a good how-to at linuxnewbie.org which can walk you through setting it up.
