RE: [newbie] Modem problems :*(
A little helpful advice. Post more information. You most likely have a winmodem. Most winmodems will NOT work with linux. They used a software based driver. They are pci. So if you have a pci modem. It is most likely a winmodem. And will NOT work. -Original Message- From: Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 12:40 PM To: Mandrake Subject: [newbie] Modem problems :*( hi, ive just installed mandrake 7.1. my modem dont respond or anything what shall i do? thanks mike
RE: [newbie] Linksys LNE100tx v4.0
Need a little more information to be helpful. Are you sure that it uses the tulip driver? Have you tried running kudzu? Do you know that your network card is not bad? Have you tried using a different network card? Does the driver load? Is the driver built correctly?

I have tried to compile a new tulip.o module, but have been unsuccessful. I have gone to the Linksys website and downloaded the most current drivers and was unsuccessful. Linux-mandrake.com has yet to post a fix on their web site. I have tried now for better than a day screwing around with 7.2 Any help would be appreciated. Jerold [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [newbie] Locked out at the LOGIN :
Do you have access to the system? Or did you loose your passwords? From the way you worded it, it sounds like you lost your passwords, but what I think you are looking for is how to bring the gui back online. Go to init 5. That starts the gui in a separate NOHUP process.

RE: [newbie] Switchdesk
Try using init 5, that will bring you to the gui login screen. You can then choose kde, gnome, sawmill, etc. Cheers, James -Original Message- From: The BOFH [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 9:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Switchdesk When I installed MDK 7.2 a month or so ago, it came up in Gnome. I swear that at that point I used switchdesk to change to KDE. Now I'd like to play with Gnome some more but I cannot find it on the system anywhere. I've persused the list archives, and found some messages indicating that I should create a .Xclients file, which I did, but startx still brings me up in KDE. Do I also need to modify some other file? Was switchdesk truly removed by some upgrade I did along the way? Thanks, S
RE: [newbie] mounting cdrom problems
Any mount entry in the /etc/fstab file, can be automatically mounted, by calling mount to the mount point. Ie, you have a nfs mount set up, that isn't currently mounted. Call the mount point "mount /mnt/nfs_mount" and it will mount. Provided it is in the fstab file. -Original Message- From: Michael zhao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 4:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] mounting cdrom problems mount /dev/cdrom -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom note: /mnt/cdrom should be a existing path - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 5:33 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] mounting cdrom problems In a message dated 12/14/2000 6:35:33 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: mount /mnt/cdrom shouldnt it be 'mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom' ~Lance

RE: [newbie] install trouble
The problem is that you used error checking on an old version of mandrake. If you are really using 6.1, the system will have a hard time talking to an 8gb chunk in the middle of a 40 gb disk. Switch off the error checking, and it should take about 20 minutes. In response to the other question, there is no redhat 6.5, but mandrake is built on the redhat distrobution. Redhat 6.2 is the base for mandrake 7.2. -Original Message- From: CFisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 2:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] install trouble I'm trying to install mandrake 6.1 on my 300 mhz, 196 mb ram pc which is currently running windows 98se. I have two phyisical hard drives, the master is 10 GB and the slave is 40 GB. The master is partitioned into c and e and the slave has only one partition which is D. All are used by windows. Using the full version of partition magic 4.0, I created two additional partitions on the 40 GB slave hd - one at 8 or so GB for the linux native and the second at 125 MB for the swap. Everything goes fine during the setup of the install - the target partitions are visable etc, the problem I am having is the formatting for either partition is taking an really long time. The first time I ran the format for the linux native I let it go all night (about 6 hrs) and thought it had frozen because there was no change - no progress indicator. While experimenting I ran the format on the swap with error checking enabled and in this case I did get a progress bar but the format was still very slow. Based on the progress bar I estimate it would take at least six or seven hours to format a 125 MB partition. Is this normal? I have also stopped both the native and the swap format by restarting the pc midway through - I figure this can't be good - but how bad is it and are there any additional steps I need to take to run the install (like deleting the partition and starting from scratch)? Thanks, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] p.s. whats up with red hat version 6.5 but mandrake 6.1? Is mandrake a flavor of red hat?

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 ISO's not right size...
Try running an md5 checksum on the iso image. Compare it to the md5 that is listed where you downloaded the image. Most likely, you lost a few bits during ftp-ing. Also, you might have downloaded it with ASCI, and not with binary. This WILL cause the problem.

Hi LIst, I was wondering about something. This morning when I attempted to burn a few CD's with the Mandrake 7.2 ISO's that I downloaded over the weekend I got a very strange error message back from the software. It told me that the length of the file was not a multiple of the sectors on the CDROM. I'm not sure what this means apart from maybe the file is the right size it's supposed to be. Could someone shed some light on this for me? I was using a Windows utility to do the CD's here at work. WE've done other distros with this same utility before, so I know that it works. RedHat 7.0, Mandrake 7.1... thanks, -- Mark / * Sometimes it becomes necessary to rock the boat * in order to get the rats up from below decks * so they can be kicked over the side and drowned! * * REGISTERED LINUX USER # 182496 */ *REPLY SEPERATOR*
