Re: [newbie] Does AbiWord crash on you?
What do you mean by "crash"...it won't let you write to the file because all permissions are set as root, but this should be the extent of it... Paul "Romanator" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Here's one for you. Log in as root, and type up something simple in AbiWord. Save it to /usr/home/your_name. Next, log in as user. Open the same file and add a couple of lines to the document. Try to save it.

Re: [newbie] Now Im cooking :-) [7.2 iso image]
Wouldn't it have been a whole lot quicker and easier to buy the disks from Cheapbytes or LinuxCentral for $1.99 and assure that you are getting a good copy?you's save the price of a blank CD too...just a thought... Paul "Graham Kerr" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi Guys, Thanks for the help, Ive finally managed to write the image to disk. It took 4 nights to complete the download, after which, I booted into win***s 98, from there 12 attempts to write the image using nero, and easy cd creator!!! Still no joy. (Just as well it was a cd/rw ) So back into 7.1, and used the cdrecord command. worked 1st time :-) Time to wipe Mr Gate's guff software from my h/d!!!

Re: [newbie] playmidi not working

I've seen this same question posted 3 or 4 times over the past several weeks and unfortunately don't recall ever seeing an answer. I have had the same problem when using a PCI sound card but if I switch to an old ISA SB 16 PNP the problem goes away. Just out of curiosity, what type card are you using and is it PCI or ISA? Paul
Re: [newbie] Time set

I had Mandrake 7.2 installed on two different machines..same motherboards but different BIOS revision dates. The one with the newer BIOS date worked fine...the one with the older exhibited exactly the same symptoms as you outline. Updating the BIOS to the newer version cured the problem on the malfunctioning PC. BTW...the machine that experienced the proble also exhibited the same behavior with another distro with specs similar to MDK 7.2 Paul
Re: [newbie] LM7.2/Macmillain -- KDE2 IS FINAL!!
Benjamin Sher wrote: Dear friends: Good news! I am happy to report that I was WRONG. I just heard from Kevin Loane at Macmillain. I placed a call to him yesterday afternoon and just heard from his this afternoon. He told me that he had investigated the situation concerning LM7.2/KDE 2.0 Macmillain official version (Complete and I assume also DeLuxe) and ASSURED me that the official version which will come out on Nov. 28 contain newly printed CD's which do include KDE 2.0 Final, NOT a beta. I repeate: KDE 2.0 FINAL. So, it appears the rumors are wrong and that LM 7.2/Macmillain will have the latest KDE 2.0 Final. It would nice to hear this confirmed from Mandrake, as well. If so, I would say that was a very wise move by Mandrake, and I am sure we all appreciate it. Thank you. Benjamin Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but the advice you have been receiving has been correct. As per LM's web site...no commercial version currently includes the 2.o KDE...It is nice to see McMillan doing this at the end of the month, but right now, as it stands today, the inforamtion passed to you here has been 100% accurateBTW...I share the concerns of some other posters as to differentiating the two...I will guarantee you that the there is a ot of the 1.99 version product floating around in the retail pipeline and it most assuredly isn't going to evaporate off the shelves overnight...

Dear Friends: I would like to inquire if the Linux-Mandrake 7.2 Complete ($29.95) sold by Macmillain has the real KDE 2.0 FINAL version. I ordered it from Macmillain but they don't seem to know which KDE 2.0 is included. I wonder if others are in the same boat. Thank you so much. Benjamin -- Benjamin and Anna Sher RUS: http://www.websher.net SHK: http://www.shakespeareindex.net Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yup, I found the same info on the LM web site indicating that none of the commercial releases have the newer KDE. Frankly, I'll use the freebie version until this changes this doesn't seem like the worlds greatest marketing idea to meG Paul
