Re: [newbie] Install problem 8.1 on Toshiba Satellite 430 CDT
I had the same problem with my 435CDS and LM8.0 with 48MB of ram. LM7.2 installed normally and worked great, but I was not able to get 8.0 to install. I tried all of the installation options and all of the images on the install disk. Lee At 01:02 AM 10/25/2001 +0200, Frans Ketelaars wrote: On Wed, 24 Oct 2001 21:34:09 +0200 Fam.

Using [ALT][F3] shows that there is a warning 'ramdisk is not possible due to low mem'. The machine stores 32 mb RAM, so minimum specifications to install 8.1 are met. Does someone recognize the problem? How should it be solved? Is 32 mb really enough? At least with LM8.0 32 MB RAM was enough, but you had to select expert or text install or something with less then 64 MB RAM. HTH, -Frans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] CPU question
I am running celeron 366's with big GlobalWin coolers. They run cool at 550mhz (100mhz fsb) and SMP enabled using Mandrake 8.0. Your 400mhz celerons do not overclock, I tried. Intel made the celeron to compete with the cheaper AMD K6 chips. The original release (without level 2 cache) was junk. When they came out with the ppga chip w/level 2 and SMP it was outselling the Pentium II. To save their high end PII and PIII chips, Intel made it difficult to overclock the 400 - 550 mhz celerons. When AMD introduced the K7 Intel came out with the flip chip (fcpga) celeron. Initially they eliminated SMP, but some of the later models have SMP pins connected in a new configuration. Ppga and fcpga celerons are not interchangeable. Powerleap makes a fcpga to ppga adapter that sells for about 25 USD. The Abit vp6 motherboard replaced the bp6 for the SMP flip chips at about 175 USD. Search Google for more info (smp, bp6, vp6, powerleap, etc.).

The celerons I use are quite old (400 MHz) and their FSB clock rate is 66 MHz. I was thinking I would upgrade to more recent CPUs (about 800 MHz each, 100 MHz FSB). But I was told that the 100 MHz celeron may not run an SMP machine. In fact, it may work on a single processor only., so there is (according to that person) no point in upgrading. Does anyone have data about this issue? Does anybody use a BP6 with 100 MHz celerons? Thanks, Pascal Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Timeout
Hello Is there a timeout in kppp? When downloading mail from isp everything works great unless I get a large attatchment. Kmail and Netscape mail fail at the same point. The only way I have been able to get these attatchments is to shut down and boot Windows. I have also been unable to use Mandrake Update for the same reason. Very small files come through OK, but anything over 50K stalls. Kppp Statistics shows that downloading has stopped. I am using Mandrake 8.0 and a very slow isp (average download speed is between 2.5 and 4 kps). TIA Lee Waters
[newbie] Laptop install MDK 8.0
Hello I upgraded (full re-install) my desktop computer from MDK 7.2 to MDK 8.0. I am pleased with the later version, so I decided to upgrade my laptop computer. I have a TOSHIBA 435 CDS with a 120 MHz processor and 48 Meg RAM. It was so slow in MDK 7.1 LIN4WIN that it was useless. It was slow in MDK 7.2, but so was Windows. The computer will not boot from CDROM so I made the install diskette and proceeded with a full install after formatting new larger partitions (/, swap, usr, home). Install started normally! When it got to Trying to access cdrom it seemed to access the cd OK, then went into second stage install with more CDROM activity. A few seconds later it said Install exited abnormally and proceeded to end the install. Hoping it was a problem with the boot disk I made another. Same result! To eliminate the install cd I bought the STANDARD EDITION set. Using the new cd and the install floppy provided with it I get the same result. I was able to re-install MDK 7.2 with no problems. Where do I start??? TIA Lee Waters

[newbie] Sane
Hello I installed Sane with frontends and backends (from MDK 8.0 install disk) on my desktop computer running MDK 8.0. I can can access my scanner from GIMP, but only get a communication error. I am running an ABIT BP6 motherboard with a pair of Celeron 366's (at 550 Mbps) and 384K PC133 ram. The scanner is a HP 4C flatbed connected to channel 1 of a TEKRAM DC-390U3W SCSI 160 controller. Where do I find a SANE configuration utility? TIA Lee Waters
[newbie] smp
I am using MDK 7.2 on an Abit BP6 motherboard with dual Celeron. cat /proc/cpuinfo Lists both processors identically. Does this mean that SMP is enabled and working? If not, how do I verify smp? What does "1101 bogomips" mean. Thanks in advance! Lee

[newbie] boot.ini

[newbie] modem
I am a total command line illiterate! I have an Actiontec Call Waiting modem that I was able to get working once. On re-boot and ever since I have not been able to connect. In Windows it is on com port 5 and linux is ttyS4. Two of the steps in the modem installation instructions are in question. 1. the line "chmod 666 /dev/ttySx" returns the error "don't know how". Replacing the x with 4 solves that problem. 2. "setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A prot 0xa000 irq 11" Is the syntax correct in this line? The same line was used earlier with "port" instead of "prot". This modem is recognized as a Lucent Tech modem and Actiontec is not listed in the configurator. Lee
