DJ djbdns is normally installed from source, but Mandrake have provided an RPM to DJ automate the installation. See here for details DJ http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/djbdns.php Ok, downloaded and installed that one (flawlessly). Thanks for your help!

by all means send the xconfig-4 script and the exact version of the tar file you used. thanks - Original Message - From: Steve Jeppesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 29, 2002 9:29 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] 5 stars but ... I have noticed the problems people are having with Nvidia and 9.0. For myself, Geforce2 mx400 - I had no problems with either 8.2 or 9.0 I made sure I d/led the source files (tar.gz), installed what ever was needed for tar.gz and followed the instructions on the Nvidia site. And as long as I see the Nvidia splash screen just be X starts, I know everything went well. On one note however, I changed my system to not load X on startup. It is a hassle, but it does prevent problems if things are not working right - and I am always (will always is the correct term) learning Linux and attempting to learn/configure something new all the time and using init level 3 is just more sensible. Just a thought, maybe just under Mandrake and not any of the other Linux flavors, your irq's are being assigned differently and thus you are experiencing irq conflicts which could cause lockups and such. Terry has already offered his XF86Config-4 file if you need it - but if you want to compare (which I am sure the specific settings you need are the same in both of our XF86Config-4 files) I can send/post mine if you would like.

There's probably a better application installed by default - look in the K menu for What to do | Enjoy music video | Rip a CD. This runs grip, which is a very nice ripper. All you do is put the CD in the drive, select the tracks to be ripped from the Track tab, then select the Rip tab and press Rip+Encode. (Because of the way ripping is done in Linux it dumps the CD contents to [uncompressed] WAV files then converts them to [compressed] MP3; if you press Rip you'll just get WAVs]. There's a useful change worth doing to the default configuration, though, namely changing the rip format from MP3 to OGG (Ogg Vorbis), which gives you smaller but better-quality rips. To do this in grip, select the Config tab, then the MP3 tab, then the Encoder tab, then change the Encoder: pulldown to oggenc, then rip as before.
