RE: [newbie] CDRW/DVD mounting problems
Well.. This is what I have done. I didn't get a chance to see whether it works 100% perfect but I tried John's advice but like I thought, the terminal looked at me and shrieked with laughter. I got very, very annoyed and proceeded to do the following: In /mnt I created two new directories - DVD and CD-RW. Then I chose these as mounting points for my drives respectively. Once I realised both were recognised and working I removed cdrom and cdrom2 from /mnt. as far as I know, everything is working now. I have a mounting point for each drive which has a name which implies what the directory is for. If every thing goes according to plan Why the hell didn't I think about it before? It won't backfire on me or anything, will it?

Many thanks, Oren Oren: From www.xcdroast.org, download the last version (0.98alpha13), and you don't need SCSI emulate your DVD reader. Suerte. pilagá -- Taken from FAQ: /28. That new ATAPI mode causes problems! Should I use it?/ That new ATAPI mode is enabled by default in X-CD-Roast on linux. It requires a kernel 2.4.x and is able to access ATAPI devices directly through the IDE driver, without the help of SCSI emulation. However, that mode is still experimental and causes some problems. Using a CD writer in that mode is not recommended - please use always SCSI emulation here. The ATAPI mode on a writer will cause great delays in all X-CD-Roast operations, because communication with a device takes much more time. You will also notice a lot of driver errors in your system log files. This seems to be normal. You can tell X-CD-Roast to ignore the ATAPI mode when you start it with the -a option. There is also no DMA transfer supported at all though the ATAPI interface. On some not correctly installed machines X-CD-Roast will find your devices both via SCSI emulation and via ATAPI - they are displayed double in the setup. Things could work nevertheless, but use the scsi-emulated devices only then. (The devices without the ATAPI:-marking) Conclusion: Use your writer only with SCSI emulation, but a normal CD/DVD-ROM drive as read only device will work fine in ATAPI mode. This is also the default setup for many Linux distributions.

As I said before, K3b can work with ide drives without the scsi-emulation, so you can keep the emulation on your burner (where you need it) but don't need to emulate on the dvd.

That is brilliant.

Miark I seem to remember that if you did the install from that drive, there would be problems in that the software installer would not be looking at the right place to find the disks. I'd have to check back to see exactly what was said about this, but I think it was so. Maybe I missed the point. If you install Linux from the DVD drive, and then later switch from IDE to SCSI emulation, that would confule urmpi. Is that what you mean? It's worth remembering that just about anything he wants to do can be done on that disk without scsi-emulation, so why risk problems? I think using K3b is _more_ dangerous because of the changes it makes directly to fstab (if you let it). Damned if you do, damned if you don't, eh? I forgot that some people had run foul of that one. I played cautious and said no, since I hadn't a clue what it would try to do. Turned out that was exactly the right answer g So be warned, Oren.

RE: [newbie] Gnome PPP doesn't work
I have the same problem. Mind you I have some weird experiences with my Mandrake. Some things are visible on my desktop only in Gnome and not in KDE and visa versa.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 9.0 Windows XP Co-existing
Hi Just a quick note! Although partition magic is extremely powerful and easy to use, it can cost you a buck or two. There are many alternative including 'line command' option which you can find instructions to in WinXP help. Also try Kazaa for partition magic (if I dare suggest that).

I understand it's better to have Windows already installed when you try to install Mandrake. Is this correct? During the Mandrake installation process at disk partitioning time I have three choices (paraphrasing): 1. Erase entire disk. 2. Use the free space on a Windows partition. 3. Custom partitioning. The biggest problem here is that you're using an HP-provided disk to install XP. HP ships restore or recovery disks, not install disks with their systems. You aren't actually installing XP with that disk, you're copying a drive image, which is why you don't get any options when running it. Contact HP support and demand a real install disk -- they'll send one if you insist on it. Failing that,it's probably worth investing in Partition Magic - makes it simple to resize and shift XP partitions around and convert a data partition from NTFS to FAT32 so that it's writable from Linux. Have the space above the XP partitions Unallocated and install Mandrake 9.0 in the unallocated space. Install LILO boot loader and you should be able to boot to XP or to Linux OK. -- Douglas B.

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 9.0 Windows XP Co-existing
Hi I am no expert so if this look like rubbish to you please ignore... If you install through 'expert' you should be able to partition your disk (using diskdrak - or was it the other way around). After resizing your windows partition you should be able to install mandrake no problems. See the Demos on the Mandrake-Linux site http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/ They are really helpful!
