Re: Bastille firewall [was: Re: [newbie] No connection via Linux]
I tried the 2.1.1 rpm and it came up at start up saying it does not work on Mandrake 9.1. I don't see a newer version on their site. Barry Femme; Is someone trying to use Bastille on a Mandrake 9.0 or 9.1 system? I thought it woldn't work on those versions of Mandrake. Has there been a change? I still prefer the firewall in Bastille, but I had to devise a work-around in order to get it running a Mandrake 9.x . Please let me know if it works now.

Bastille is a better firewall IMO Thank you. The description on the web looks very good. I downloaded and most probably installed it from an RPM i.586. I can see its files in various directories, but one thing I didn't figure out yet is: How do I start it? Typing bastille in root command line as recommended in a manual produces something like command not found... There seem to be some very basic Linux things that I don't know yet - too trivial to be mentioned in any FAQ - but I'll find them out anyway! :-)) -- Cheers Peter lord i suffered with this when i started with Bastille...its not intuitive so don't fret. At a command prompt type Interative-Bastille (or just Inter (then hit the TAB key)) and away you go. Be sure to get the GUIed ver (TK or Curses version) its far simpler IMO as well.

[newbie] OT - Personal Database Applications
I apologize for the off topic post, but I have been searching for a personal database application for linux. I have a friend that is making the transition from MS to linux and she is hoping that their is something that can replace her old dBase III (She didn't care for Access and didn't see a need to change from what worked.). The vast majority of what I run across seems geared for the programmer and web based engines. Does anyone know of a basic database app that would be appropriate for her?

Barry In your Mandrake distro, Open Office is installed - and you can create databases with that - as well as being in conjunction with MySQL or PostSTress, er, PostgreSQL... I wasn't aware that Open Office could do the interface. I'll check out their web site for more info. Thanks. Barry ___ Internet Access, Shared Dedicated Web Hosting.

Barry - I haven't used it, but Star Office handles databases, basically in a spreadsheet format, but there's a form designer with it. That's about all I know about it. SO 5.2 had an add on called Adibas (I know I trashed the spelling on that one.). But, I haven't checked out 6.0 to see if it has the database app as well. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Re: [newbie] ML 9.0 update mirrors don't work
I had this problem as well. Grabbing the urpmi update file after the initial install corrected the problem. I had some other issues the motivated me to re-install anyway. Barry Greetings, I am trying to run Mandrake Update in ML 9.0 and get the dialog box (in Gnome) which asks if I am connected to the Internet and would like to select a mirror. I am and I would so I click ok. The list of mirrors appears without a problem but none of them can be added successfully. I have been through every mirror on the list and none work. I know it isn't my Internet connection since I can surf and get email. Where else can I check to begin troubleshooting this problem. tia R - Richard L.
