[newbie] USB 2.0 PCMCIA
Hi all, I have an STLab PCMCIA USB 2.0 card that I believe is detected by Mandrake 10. The only problem is that my external hard drive isn't picked up when I have it plugged into the 2.0 card. If I plug it in to the 1.1 ports, it detects as /dev/sda1 and mounts to /mnt/windows as I specified. Is there no support yet for 2.0 or am I missing something that I should have configured. Thanks. -Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] USB 2.0 PCMCIA
Nevermind folks. I tried it again and sure enough it popped right up on the desktop as /mnt/removeable and now it is transfering at superfast speed. Gotta love Linux! :) -Matt Matthew Harrison wrote: Hi all, I have an STLab PCMCIA USB 2.0 card that I believe is detected by Mandrake 10.

[newbie] XMMS Equalizer Presets
Can anyone tell me what package to install to get XMMS to have some equalizer presets, or a web site that has them available for download? Thanks, Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] Printer Problem
Hi all, On my 9.2 box, I am trying to print to a network printer. I go through the MCC and try and set up the printer. When it tries to configure the printer, it comes back and tells me that it Failed to Configure the printer. I am at a loss, because I have had this printer set up before on different MDK machines with no problem, and there should be no difference in the way I set mine up with the way I set others up. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks, Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

[newbie] Power Off
Ok, I recently took my laptop to 100% Linux for the OS, and I do run Windows, but I run it the way it should be...with the ability to minimize it when it gets in the way (via Win4Lin). My problem is that when I tell KDE to power off my computer, it gets through the shutdown screen and the screen will go black, but the computer won't turn off. I have to hold the power button down to get it to completely shut off. Is there possibly a setting that could need tweaking? Oh, I am running 9.2 btw. -Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] Modem Ethernet
Hi all, I was just wondering if it is possible to use both my modem and my ethernet for internet connectivity. I have a Toshiba Laptop (Satellite 1800-S204) and at work I use the built in ethernet card to get on the internet via windows, but I want to start using linux. At home I have dial-up and I have a modem card installed and it is detected and will connect, but I cannot do anything on the net. I guess the question is can linux be set up to know to use either/or for the net? Thanks. -Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] 8.2 Beta 2
Ok, after a few tries I got Software Manager to work in Beta 1, but in Beta 2, I can update the list of mirrors just fine out of the box, but no matter what mirror I use, I always get an error telling me it was unable to add selected mirror. Is there a workaround for this problem yet? I can't even manually add a source. Thanks for any help that can be provided. Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Everybuddy Sound
Hi, The sounds in everybuddy were playing really crappy for me. When it would start to play a sound, it would give me a loud beep, then play the .au file all distorted...so I thought I would try some custom .wav files. They did the same thing, but...when I play them by opening the wav file from my home directory, they play just fine. Is this just a bug in everybuddy or maybe just problems with my soundcard driver. Every other program plays sounds just fine. My soundcard is a VIA Technologies VT82C686 (Apollo Super AC97/Audio) as it is listed in HardDrake. Any ideas? Thanks.

[newbie] 8.2 and Software Manager
Hi all, First of all, I do like the new Control Center look in 8.2, but when I try to update my list of mirrors in the Software Manager, all it does is close, I don't know if this is a bug, so thats why I am posting it here first. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Matt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Apache and Frontpage
Hi all, I was wondering if there was any way to get FrontPage 2000 server extensions on an Apache web server (not sure what version). Also, if there is a way, I think I remember hearing about a frontpage module for apache, is there any major security risks besides the fact it is Microsoft? Thanks in advance.

[newbie] No Sound for CD
Hey Gang, Slight problem. When I try to play a cd using CD Player, I get no sound from the cd even though it says its playing. But, I get sound from KDE themes and whatnot. I have a SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 running on a 700 Celeron, 392 mb ram, a 20 gig HD running Win2k Pro, and a 15 gig partitioned into a 10 gig from backup of the win2k part, and 5 gigs for Linux, Mandrake 8.0 btw. Now the computer is a Blaster PC from Tigerdirect.com incase anyone is familiar with that PC, and the DVD Drive's audio cable is hooked into a digital port and I am thinking myself that my problem lies there.

Hi All, I am doing a report on Linux for a final in my college comp class and I am having a little trouble finding any documentation on the Kernel. I am mainly looking for any text that would describe the history of the kernel and also if anyone has any good links the history of linux and all of the stuff such as GUI's and the distributions that explains its development since 1991.
