[newbie] imici problems
imici is supposed to allow you to manage multiple messenger clients (icq, yahoo, msn, aol) from one spot. I am having all sorts of trouble installing it, and it only seems to connect to icq when I have licq running already. I am getting errors during make. Anybody work with this before? I would appreciate any ideas. Scoootr64
[newbie] Installing cdrecord
I am trying to follow the install instructions for cdrecord at http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/Linux_apps.htm#writing_cds. The instructions tell me to add an append=hdb=ide-scsi line to the lilo.conf file. I do this and when I run lilo I get an error about duplicate append lines. So I edit out the append=quiet line. After following the other directions and rebooting, I find that CDRom2 is locked. How do I get around that? Then when I install cdrecord, I follow all the instructions down to where it says ln -s /opt/schily/bin/* /usr/local/, at which I get the error /usr/local//bin: cannot overwrite directory. When I try to cdrecord -scanbus I get a message that cdrecord command not found. What should I be doing here. Go easy on me, I am trying to learn this stuff Scootr64
[newbie] Viper II problem
I have a Viper II video card with the s3 Savage 2000 chip set. My mouse icon is displaying as a 1 inch sqaure block of fuzz, and my desktop is streaked with vertical lines. Merlin asked about this last month, but I saw no responses. Is there a work around for this, or do I need a new video card? Scoootr64
