[newbie] Floppy/Zip IO Errors
Hello, My floppy/zip drives are having IO errors in Mandrake 7.2. I hacked the /etc/fstab file and tried setuid and set it so that all users can use it... but to no avail. The messages I get are when in root "input/output error". And in a regular user "Permission Denied". I thought maybe its a lock file or something in there but can't find it. Any hepl is appreciated.Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Re: [newbie] Here is the dumbest question ever asked!
If you have a graphical login, select the shutdown tab and select shut down, or shut down and reboot. If you are user (not sure, but I think only root can do this) I just type "shutdown now", or "reboot". - Original Message - From: Bryan Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Newbie Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2000 12:44 PM Subject: [newbie] Here is the dumbest question ever asked! I can call this the dumbest question ever because it is and it's mine. What command do you use to logoff and shutdown the system? I have it set to load X at startup and I can choose logoff, but that just puts me at the X login screen again. I have just been hitting the reset button to reboot, but Linux yells at me the next time I boot it up. Thanks.. this is really the least of my concerns/questions at the moment, but I'll save the other ones for later when I've learned a bit more.
Re: [newbie] Possibilities of a Linux Website
If you want to know the problems of the linux comunity it is simple. Lack of support. Not only hardware manufacturers, but TECHNICAL SUPPORT LIKE BYNARI REALLY SUCKS. I called Bynari for help, I emailed MandrakeSoft, everyone to get some stinking tech support and I can never get it - Original Message - From: webmaster To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2000 9:52 AM Subject: [newbie] Possibilities of a Linux Website Linux Community, I was thinking of adding a section to my website devoted to the problems of the Linux community and Linux development. I would appreciate comments/feedback about the idea. [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.sitesuwant.com

Re: [newbie] 6.1 - 7.0.2 Wipes Everything?
When you install 7.0.2 just use the upgrade option, which will install the new features and kernal. If you select install, well kiss 6.1 good bye - Original Message - From: Lane Lester [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 6:12 PM Subject: [newbie] 6.1 - 7.0.2 Wipes Everything? Now that I can get on the Internet with it, I'm delighted with the 6.1 someone sent me. I've already ordered 7.0.2 to get the latest and greatest. My question is whether I should spend any time customizing my 6.1 install if I'm going to need to trash it when I put 7.0.2 on. -- Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA Getting where I want to be with Linux...
