Re: [newbie] Enlightenment vs Sawfish
Ok then, how do I run Sawfish or Enlightenment without Gnome altogether? X-Windows is not something I'm highly familiar with. Also, I d/l the rpm enlightenment-0.16.4-2.i386.rpm I'm sure there is a command to check the dependencies without actually installing it. Anyone know what it is, it isn't verify which is what I thought it would be. I'm a little hesitant to install the rpm, as I'm not sure I'll easily be able to put things BACK if I mess it up.

[newbie] Enlightenment vs Sawfish
Which one do most of you prefer? I use gnome, and in Mandrake 7 it default installed Enlightenment and in 8 it defaulted to Sawfish. I'm not sure if the features I liked in Enlightenment exist and I don't know how to set them up, or whether they were features of Enlightenment. For starters, my X-Windows doesn't display menu's on a rightclick on the desktop. Is that an option in Sawfish? Heck I can't even figure out how to change my background. I'd like to RTFM but all I can find is help for gnome, and I'm not sure which parts are gnome and which parts are Sawfish. Tips, tricks, suggestions?

Re: [newbie] ethernet card/modprobe/irq problem
That's basically what solved it for me. I commented out the option 8139too irq=9 line in my modules.conf, rebooted twice (yes twice, got me). Then it worked fine again. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Problem: Samba and Win98
I have Samba (apparently) up and running on my linux box. My local set up is this: 192.168.0 style network. .2 Linux with local on eth0 and internet on eth1 .1 Win 98 .10 Win ME The linux box is, obviously, my gateway. Samba is configured as my domain server. Both Win boxes log into it just fine. The Windows ME box pc can see the shares I've configured, but the Win98 box cannot. The Win98 box can see the shares on the Windows ME box, as well as it's own shares. Both machines have identical (except for IP address) IPX/ NETBUI/ TCP/IP settings. smb.conf: [global] workgroup= BLAHBLAH hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. client code page = 850 character set = ISO8859-1 #Domain Controller security = user domain logons = yes os level = 33 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes wins support = yes name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts map to guest = Bad User encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd [homes] comment = Home Directory, put your stuff here browseable = yes writable = yes [tmp] comment = Guest Space path = /home/public guest ok = yes writable = yes [netlogon] path = /home/samba/data writable = no browseable = no public = no Any clues, or suggestions on which windows forum I should be bugging instead?

Re: [newbie] Hardware detect lockup, installing new network card
I can disable USB and on board sound in BIOS. Here's how my PnP bios look: I have two options initially: Configuration Mode: [Use PnP OS] PnP OS: [Disabled] This is what it was. Looks like PnP is disabled to me, so that's how I had it. The other thing I can do is change it to: Configuration Mode: [Compatible OS] IRQ 3 [Available] IRQ 4 [Available] IRQ 5 [Available] IRQ 9 [Available] IRQ 10 [Available] IRQ 11 [Available] netconf has the IP and host name all correct for each card, and the module set correctly.

[Fwd: Re: [newbie] Hardware detect lockup, installing new network card]
Very helpful, thanks. cat /proc/pci says, in abstract Device:IRQ Video card:11 3com LAN:10 Realtek (which is actually my D-link LAN, go figure):9 USB Controller:3 The on board sound and or parallel port (I think you are right, since shortly after it mentions lp0, even though I don't have a printer) aren't mentioned. By the way, after having watched it a dozen times, I can figure out that there do seem to be two errors in the insmod for the eth0 and eth1 at boot. (If anyone has a good way to see boot errors besides dmesg, I'm all ears). One of the errors is a device does not appear to be present, and the other is that the irq_param is invalid. If I do an insmod 3c59x as root, I can ping the internal network. However, insmod 8130too messes that all up, and doesn't bring up the outside network.

[newbie] Hardware detect lockup, installing new network card
I just tried to upgrade to Mandrake 8.1 beta (but I had the same problem with 8.0) to fix some problems I was having with x windows. After having installed Mandrake successfully, I needed to add a network card to my setup, a 3com 905 series card. It was working fine under Mandrake 7.0. What happens is this, I turn the box on, it boots up, does the Harddrake probe, then goes into the detected new hardware. I hit enter to configure the device, it tells me it is about to, then the screen goes blank and nothing happens. I can reboot the computer with ctl-alt-del and that's about it. I don't have any trouble running X from the command line, if I skip the detecting new hardware stage. Any advice? Ryan Steffes Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
