Re: [newbie] Kernel rebuild question.

I'm using the GUI by the way. The process was successful and now if I check there are no more updates so I think things went OK. Two questions: 1) How do I check to see what fixes have been installed? 2) When updates are installed is there another step necessary to build a new Kernel or does that happen automagically or do I not understand the process? (which is quite likely) The reason for this second question is I have a concern,that was also mentioned in another post, about booting from a kew kernel and not being able to fall back to the working one should something happen. mandrake will just add the kernel to the list if you download and install it via urpmi... do a google for easy urpmi and update the urpmi sources.. then type urpmi kernel it should bring up a newer kernel for you to install. then do the same thing typing urpmi kernel-source then when all done you can reboot and the new kernel will boot ... there is a list at lilo boot .. your old kernel will be at the bottom of the lit and probably say 2210 or something likethat .. an updated kernel is 2.4.22.21 i think so look for something arround that number. -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 LinuxMachine# 193475, 227341 AMD64 Opteron 1.6http://counter.li.org ASUS SK8N signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Do you mean that you can send mail from your Postfix server to your cox email account but not to anyone else? If so, do you get a bounce message or is your message refused when you send it or does it just not get received? If the ISP blocks outgoing port 25, you will send a message to an external address and it will just disappear. You can still send mail to local ISP accounts because port 25 traffic is only blocked at the router for outgoing traffic, internally, it still works. The local mail server accepts your mail because it recognizes that your IP is internal to its network, so it accepts the traffic. If that seems to be what is happening, then your outgoing port 25 is probably blocked. If your port 25 is open and you want to check it, simply try to telnet to port 25 of your external WAN IP address. If your postfix server responds, then port 25 is not blocked. I am pretty sure that you should NOT be using the cox mail server address. Any mail bound to your myvnc.com domain will not be recognized by the cox mail server and will be refused. If they have agreed to accept mail for your domain and let you download it from them, you should use their mail server. The MX record at no-ip.com needs to be the hostname of a mailserver. If you were using an external mail hosting service that collects your mail and then sends it to your machine, this is where you would put the name of that mail server hostname. Otherwise, I am pretty certain that you leave that blank. You can also set wildcards so that all requests to your domain are sent to the IP you have updated.

I would rather have my own mail server then to use cox cable. thanks Depends on how much you want to depend on it. I don't pay extra and mail that is bound for my dynamic domain name gets sent to my current IP address where my router sends it on to the mail server which is configured to accept mail for my dynamic domain name. If the mail bound for my mail server is not for a real local user, the connection gets rejected and dropped and I get a notification that someone tried to relay mail through my server. However, as someone on the expert list pointed out earlier, there is some risk involved in running a mail server off of a dynamic IP address. If someone else that is running a mail server inherits your IP address before the dynamic DNS service gets the new IP and they happen to be running an SMTP server that is configured to accept mail for all domains regardless of where it is bound or who the message is to, they will intercept your mail. I don't worry about that because the only people using my domain are family members and all of our mail is PGP encrypted. Even if you intercepted some of the messages, you couldn't decrypt them so they would be useless to you.

And i noticed during mandrake installation that it does have hidden FAT among the options for the file system. I have though not tried to see if how it performs. I am using XOSL as my boot loader which come with Ranish partition manager and i can install windows2k on the third partition while the first two partitions are FAT or NTFS! I however do not use hidden fat (it may work though, but i don´t remember what was the problem). I record the first two partitions as linux type using RPM even though they are windows type! This way is guaranteed to work for me. Windows98 is older and i think hiding FAT partitions is very likely to work. So if it was me, the first way i would try is using Mandrake partition manager to hide the first two windows partitions and write the setting to the MBR. Then i would start installing Windows98. I should repeat that i have not tried this myself before, but the Mandrake 9.2 partition manager seems very reliable (it was not the case for Mandrake 9.0 to my opinion).

I suppose I could guess, but could you explain a bit more? what do u think is the best in the linux world.. i dont like using M$ programs with wine cuz its the reason i dont use M$ programs.. heheh Just to be clear about something...The Bat! is not a MS program, as it's just a program that happens to be written for use on Windows. When I deal with Windows, the OS itself is the only MS program that I use. Evolution feels too much like OE to me (eek!), so that alone kinda makes me cringe. That may not be the most rational reason to dislike it, but there are other things I don't like about it as well. In fact, in order to re-format the cut up quoted text above, I had to resort to using a Windows text cleanup/re-formatting utility that I currently have working under Wine. Also...I don't know why this happens, but very often, Evolution freezes for several seconds, and this is quite annoying. I must admit (again and again), that I'm quite spoiled by using The Bat! for email, so I can only really evaluate the various Linux email clients I've tried in terms of being the least offensive of the bunch. In that sense, even though Sylpheed-claws seems to have more options, I'm finding Kmail has earned my least offensive award for the moment. :-) As far as running The Bat! under Wine goes, I wish I didn't feel that it was my only chance to be really happy with an email client in Linux, but at this point, it is. What I really wish for is to have TB! ported to Linux, so I wouldn't have to deal with Wine at all (I could then even use the TB! editor to enhance Knode or Pan composition, and wouldn't have to use the cleanup/re-formatting utility I'm currently using under Wine to work with those). I know that many here will refuse to try any program written for Windows, so I don't expect them to really understand why I'm not very impressed with the various Linux email clients when I compare them to The Bat!, but what can I say?...what you don't know can't impress you! :-) ok the evolution freezing every few seconds only happens on my 64 bit box... on my 9.2 32 bit it does not freeze.. i havent checked the version numbers but i thought i was the only one that had that problem.. and what i was gettin at before is that ill get and email that is a reply to what i wrote and it will be indented.. and if there is a reply to a reply in that email it will be included in the new email but indented even further... unless someone ran a script to make it do that.. but i think its whatever email program they r using. i guess ill look for bat and see what its about :) -- jason pearl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ Keep your friends close and your enemies closer-Tupac ++ Kurrupted Visionz Phx, AZregistered linux user #307811 MDK 9.2 Linux http://counter.li.org AMD64 Opteron 1.6 ASUS SK8N signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I haven't looked at Opera since I got my new computer, so after reading your message, I installed it, set up an account in M2, and had a look around. Frankly, I'm not impressed...not even a wee bit. :-) I've never seen a browser/email/news combination that I felt had a decent email client (or news reader). For that matter, I've never seen an email client/news reader combination that I felt did both equally well (or at least as well as I would like). The closest I've seen to a half-way decent browser connected email client is Mozilla (and even there, I would prefer the stand alone Mozilla/Thunderbird email client with the Enigmail GnuPG integration). Still though, even Moz/Thunderbird/Enigmail doesn't impress me when I compare it to The Bat! (no surprise there, as I haven't seen *any* email client that really impresses me when I compare to TB!). Even looking into the additional options in the M2 .ini file, I didn't see nearly the range of options available in most real email clients (my use of the term real is of course subjective, but so be it). Even having to manually edit the .ini file for some very basic email options is really clumsy. If you don't deal with much email, and all you want is the ability to send and receive email, and have a very basic address book, I suppose just about anything that calls itself an email client will do...including M2 (I suppose even AOL can do that much! :-)). If you want much greater functionality in terms of just about every aspect of email presentation, management, and composition, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Again, these are just my subjective opinions, so take them for what they're worth to you. :-) If you're working in Linux, I do feel that the available stand alone email clients (including Moz/Thunderbird) are all better than Opera's M2.
