Well, it does find the external Practical Peripherals modem (albeit it calls it a generic serial modem) and will remove or add it as I hook it up. It won't find the Creative modem though. I did choose the option to keep the current generic serial modem setup, and I can connect. Its odd though. My old internal Diamond Supra 56k ISA modem showed connects of 57600. The external 28.8 Practical Peripherals showed connects of 26400. The external 56k Creative is showing 26400 as well... ;-( Are you using KPPP? If so go into the setup and check on modem where it sets the speed. You should be able to set it for 56k or 112k and then your connection speed should jump up. By the way, I don't know if you know it but the speed shown is 56,000 bits but what is actual transfer is more like 4.5 kbytes per second. This means that 8bits equal a byte and there is a start bit and a end bit on each byte so divide 56 by 10 and you get 5.6bytes, but FCC only allows up to 5.3 B/s transfer so that is the best you can expect. I never get it mostly I get around 4.5. Sorry if I am telling you what you already know, but it fascinates me how numbers get thrown around and they aren't what they appear. Let me know if you have any problem setting the modem speed. And anyone who sees my math above as messed up, please jump in here and put it straight. I hate it when I get stuff like that wrong. : ) -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Alternatives help like Win4Lin?
Hi Miark folks, On Thu, 26 Jul 2001 01:54, you manipulated electrons to produce: I've never tried voice recognition, so I don't know. I think there might have been something about it on this list too, but that was probably regarding Wine rather than Win4Lin. Good question. At any rate, it would be a problem only with _recording_ sound. Playing back sound works flawlessly. *** Have since been told officially: can not record via W4L. No plans to implement it either... ! :-( The only negative thing is having to trash my drives and reload everything again! I dual boot to Mandrake 8.0 and Win200. I didn't trash my Windows partitions when Installed Win4Lin. In fact, I've set it up to use my data files seamlessly between Windows and Win4Lin. Have been tryting to get to undersatand the W4L install, but small things like system trashing keep interrupting.. :-) My take was you had to virtually start with a clean system. So, you actually installed w4l into M8? Then added Win98 via it as a new install? AND kept all your data? BUT of course would lose all the installed programs? I've got gigabytes of programs. I thought all you had to do was install win4 on top of an existing Linux system that still had a Windoze partition (or two). That would be nice, but they're not there yet. Any Newby-type hints from the install process? One big tip, though: Win4Lin acts as an entirely different computer on your home network, so make certain to give it a different IP address than the Linux box you put it on. Were you on M8? Yes. What Doze ver? Dual boot to Win2000; Win4Lin ran Win98SE. ** I think I need a nice nap... It has been a confusing day. :-) -- Cheers, John http://counter.li.org GO HERE IF YOU SUPPORT LINUX!

I started with a dual-boot Win98 and Linux. When I got Win4Lin, I installed it on MDK 8.0. I _did_ have to install my basic tools in Win4Lin, namely FrontPage and Photoshop. But I setup Win4Lin to use the existing FAT32 partions on which I store all my data. So while I have two copies of Photoshop on my box (one in Windows, one in Win4Lin) they both use the same FAT32 partition to which I keep all my work. So no, I didn't start with a clean system, and I didn't lose any installed programs. I just had to add another copy of my basic apps in Win4Lin.

It is basically VMware Workstation cut down to a level comparable to Win4Lin, both price and feature wise. Like Win4Lin, it can only run Win95/98 and only one at a time (VMware Workstation can handle a number of different OSs and can even have several open at once). Unlike VMware Workstation, VMware Express doesn't allow you to use a pre-existing Windows partition. Instead, you must install Windos into a virtual partition in a file, slowing things down. In contrast, Win4Lin lets you install Windos _directly_ onto your GNU/Linux partition (this is the only way you can install), so you can benefit from the superior speed of filesystems (in comparison to FAT) like Ext2 and ReiserFS. A quick check of the VMware site shows that VMware Express costs $US49.95, which is cheaper than Win4Lin's $US79.99. In comparison, VMware Workstation costs $US299. If I had the choice between VMware Express and Win4Lin, I would pick Win4Lin, despite its higher price. It has been said that it is as fast or even faster than running Windos natively.

Re: [newbie] Alternatives help like Win4Lin?
Hi Miark, Thanks for the summary. I seem to recall someone saying that it has problems with sound - I think it was from a Voice Recognition list - ? Your time is money theme is apt! My problem is really only in not wasting money. Win4 seems the clear winner all round. The only negative thing is having to trash my drives and reload everything again! I've got gigabytes of programs. I thought all you had to do was install win4 on top of an existing Linux system that still had a Windoze partition (or two). Any Newby-type hints from the install process? Were you on M8? What Doze ver? Did you d/l the win4 or buy a box? On Wed, 25 Jul 2001 03:03, you manipulated electrons to produce: I use Win4Lin. * It's a good price. * It's run all software so far. * You can configure drives however you want. I, for instance have it use FAT32 partition from my real Winsux installation, plus Reiser partitions. * It does real MS$ networking, including sharing of devices. * I haven't installed the printer yet, but I know you can install normal Windows print drivers, and anything else on the parallel port such as scanners. * It's stable. It rarely crashes, and when it does, I'm up again in about 10 seconds. My view is time is money and there's no way to escape the fact that _all_ solutions cost something significant. I just happen to be more willing to pay money than I was time, which all the free solutions cost. Miark -- Cheers, John http://counter.li.org GO HERE IF YOU SUPPORT LINUX! Fablor is now Webhosting??

[newbie] Permissions help
Hey all, Why would i be unable to launch the adsl-start script as a user?

When i try to run it from bash i get adsl-start: you must be root to run this script. Why would i not be able to run this script as user?

Re: [newbie] Alternatives help like Win4Lin?
Hi Sridhar, Thanks for all that! On Tue, 24 Jul 2001 18:22, you manipulated electrons to produce: Apps like IBM WebSphere HomePage Builder and WordPerfect are direct ports (i.e. the source code was modified to work well in Wine) to GNU/Linux. They are not simply Windos binary apps running through Wine. This is why they run so (well, sorta...) well compared to Windos apps in Wine. Aha! recently posted a rather lengthy diatribe about why M$ apps will not work in Wine. If you need a copy I can send it to you. ** Thanks - I'll just take the advice! :-) I wouldn't use Plex86 just yet. It _does_ show promise, but at present it is still buggy and slow. MandrakeSoft sponsor its development, so hopefully it should be usable soon. DirectX support is currently not very good, but I've managed to get a few DirectX games going. CD-burning is not supported in the current release. But, I take it by simply going back to your Mandrake you can use a CDW under it? Which Prog do you use? . Win4Lin is less taxing on systems than VMware, and is much faster. Like VMware, its current support for certain functions like DirectX and games are not very good. Well, the last things I need are games - I'm outtta time alla time as it is! You can get IBM ViaVoice for GNU/Linux: http://www-4.ibm.com/software/speech/linux/dictation.html I believe that Mandrake includes it in their PowerPack. Yes I have it in Powerpak 8 but no sound! If you are sure that you have done everything you can to get your sound working, perhaps you should look into buying a new sound card. Cheap sound boards can cost well under $A50, and a Sound Blaster Live! usually costs about $A100. * Well, that's the odd part. The system knows what my card is. And the next problem would be as to what card MIGHT work - listers seem to complain a lot about cards - even listed ones. Yamaha have a good rep with Dictation Users, but... I NEED either FrontPage 2000 or the Windoze version of Websphere at least. - the Linux/wine version is too cut down and painfully slow. The GNU ones are too stripped down no extras. As I mentioned above, M$ apps do not (and probably never will) work in WINE. You would need something like VMware or Win4Lin to use it. However, I must ask why you're using FrontPage. The HTML it generates is not standards-compliant, and is designed work best in IE (this is deliberate). If you design a website with FrontPage don't expect it to be viewable in other browsers (especially the *nix ones). Well in the harsh world, I never worried - 90% of all the prospects use I.E.:-) You have mentioned elsewhere that SCREEM is crash-prone. Have you tried Quanta+, Bluefish, Mozilla Composer and Amaya? Amaya is great to use in conjunction with other HTML creators, since it generates 100% standards-compliant code (it's made by the W3C). Not Amaya. Never heard of it till today. I sometimes make a page in StarOffice (which is pretty-good with HTML) and then make minor adjustments in Amaya to make it standards-compliant. * STAR OFFICE!!?? I must check it out, then. But what I miss are the simple things of life, like packaged so-easy-to-use templates and built-in scripts I NEED decent onscreen fonts - I work loong hours on the screen. The two best things I can suggest here is to import your Windos TrueType fonts and use them in apps with anti-aliasing (font smoothing for Windos users). All QT2 apps (e.g. anything KDE) has the potential to use anti-aliasing. Have you tried KOffice? KOffice Beta 3 was released about a month ago -- it is supposed to be very good. It may not have all the features of StarOffice, OpenOffice (BTW, a new OpenOffice build was released a few days ago) or M$ Word quite yet, but it has been said that most people only use 5% of the features of these huge office suites. KOffice has all the basics in place. *** QT2? Is it a setup procedure to get them to anti-alias? Also I have imported my Doze fonts but SOffice can't find them - or other things for that matter . I NEED GOOD printer output. IIRC, Lexmark has its own drivers and software for their printers. Have you tried the Lexmark web site? LinuxPrinting.org has an entry for your Lexmark Z32: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=317129 * Yes, I d/ldd the drivers but can't figure out how to get Star or default to use them. Normal procedure via Drake doesn't seem to take. Unless the Linux drivers are much, much poorer than the Dozers implementation.

[newbie] Alternatives help like Win4Lin?
Hi folks, This may seem like blasphemy, but might also be a sane solution for those who try it and it just won't go... It appears I can either: 1. Spend untold time hoping for a fix ( a week spent looking so far!) 2. Buy a lot of new stuff ( what do I do with the old?) 3. Quit and go back ( not an option!! :-) ) 4. Compromise... Win4Lin or VM or WINE or XP86 whatever it is. The most logical move financially and timewise seems Win4Lin or similar. Anyone with handson experience of any of the above I would appreciate your help. WINE is free. Can't get any sense out of it as far as applications etc go - except I just found that it is what runs Websphere on Linux!! ( I have it) Have no idea how to test it or run progs under it. XP86/BOSH . Not able to comprehend it either, Civileme says it has promise, but I could not find out anything usable about it on its Site. Also Free. No idea how to run/test it either VM is dearest by miles. Not sure of this one - seems to be similar in CPU demand to Windoze . Win4Lin is around $80. Seems to be a simple gui install.Claims to do everything one could need - IF stuck with Windows apps.

RE: [newbie] Pls help me!
Get a book from the library on the use of SQL - the creation of tables in
postgreSQL is the same as creating a table in any other variant of SQL (as
far as I know, only used a few). In postgreSQL
%createdb mydatabase
PostgreSQL as well as mySQL both come with documentation including how to do
these things (/usr/share/doc/postgresql-vNo or /usr/share/doc/MySQL-vNo).
Population of tables is the same - get the afore-mentioned book from the
library or check through the docs that came with the installation - create
tables in the database then populate them with data.
%CREATE TABLE names (
firstName varchar(10),
lastNamevarchar(15),
etc
);
%INSERT INTO names
VALUES ('Mickey', 'Mouse', etc);
Lastly, I suspect that the fourth query is the key one. There ARE add-on
packages which add a gui to different variants of SQL but unless you have
installed one then you are going to be using command line instructions to
create, populate and manipulate your tables.

[newbie] ISO help
Is there any way around using a CD burner with my downloaded ISO file? My computer does not have a CDR, so the only way would be to extract the files to the HD and work from a bootable floppy. I have no idea if this is possible, and if yes, how to do it ?!
RE: [newbie] ISO help
Hmmm .I just asked basically the same question and I spent the last few hours banging my head against the monitor trying to figure it out. What you need is a boot disk the installer will allow you to install from an ISO on your HDD only on 8.0 (I tried on 7.0). Im hesitant (wisely, I think) to attach the boot image and the rawrite utility over the list. You might be able to get it online w/ a google search. Once you have the boot disk you will be able to get to your ISO file on your HDD no problem. I did this 5 minutes ago and it worked great. If you cant find the disk online, write back and Ill attach it to you only. And if youre running windows, theres a messed up way of working around this with a program called iso2fcd in combination with a virtual cd rom program. If that sound like something youre interested in, Ill tell you about it after I get some sleep *yawn* -Original Message- From: Allan Myburgh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 12:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] ISO help Is there any way around using a CD burner with my downloaded ISO file?

Re: [newbie] Install help
A fresh install takes me less than 45 mins on my AMD k6II 450, with 256mb ram. I understand that upgrades take hours (never done one) so it appears that you did an upgrade rather than a clean install. Are you sure you did an install and not an upgrade, did you format the partitions /root /usr and others (or the entire disk for that matter) during your install ? I suggest you back up anything you need and install again, when you get to partitions to use in your install process make sure you format everything (except /home if you have it in a separate partition and want to keep it) You can also leave /usr/local alone if it is a separate partition from /usr.

[newbie] Install help
I have been running 7.1 for sometime now. It has been great and has worked beautifully. I installed 7.2 on another machine and it has worked great, but when I backed up my files and did a fresh install of 7.2 over 7.1, that's where everything went to hell. It took over three hours per attempt. Everything went fine until it completed it's install and tried to reboot, it locked up both times and i had to boot from a floppy. On my graphical login it created another user named Tina?, both times, it only recognized 64M of memory instead of 160M, even though I indicated the right amount, It performs like I'm running NT Server on a 286 with 32M RAM. When I tried to use kmail to send my message in a bottle, I got the address wrong the first time, and now, no matter what I do to correct it, it won't allow me to send a message to the list. it keeps bringing up the first mistake I made over and over, I had to configure Netscape messenger to even send this. My clock is totally wrong even the day of the week. I can reset it, but it's neccesary every time it boots. Can anybody suggest something short of going back to 7.1 or Redhat? Thanks, No sleep and disgusted

[newbie] Need help setting up XFree86 on Compaq 1800 laptop
Hello.. Does anyone out there have Mandrake 7.2 on a Compaq 1800T? I've got KDE running at 800/600... but that's all I can get after reading the Linux-Laptop howto Kernel howto... even some Compaq 1800 specific helpiles. Other people have done it... The resolution goes up to 1400/1050. I've tried using other people's XF86config files, but they seem to do nothing. In fact, I can delete all the text in my XFree86 and it changes nothing... Any idea why this is? There was something about adding vga=835 to my lilo, but that does nothing. Everything on the net is about lilo... but for some reason 7.2 installs grub as default. Can anyone tell me how to replace Grub with lilo after install? Thanks!!

Michael S, Your best bet as far as the kernel is concerned is to take a look at the kernel howto on linuxdoc.org, if you want to build from .tar.gz source. If you installed kernel-source (check by doing rpm -qa | grep kernel), the source files are under /usr/src/linux-whatever (where whatever is the version number of the kernel you have installed--for example, I have kernel 2.2.19 installed, so the sources are in /usr/src/linux-2.2.19.)

RE: [newbie] soundcard help
There are probably modules already loaded in memory causing the error you are seeing. You need to first unload the memory resident modules... Try # lsmod to list them. Unload all sound related modules... I.E. # rmmod soundcore etc. Make sure you get the MPU module(s) too. You need to remove them all for soundconf to work properly. If you are getting an error message while attempting to remove one, then it is likely that you need to first remove a child module first, and try the same one again.

Re: [newbie] Little Help
There's a book called Linux Kernal in a Nutshell. (I'm pretty sure that's the exact name.) But it's an O'Reilly book, and I believe it goes into depth on things like that. It's a good book to buy, but you may just do what a lot of people do. Head to your local Border's or Barns Noble, have a seat in a nice comfy chair and get the information you need there. An instant library! :0) But that's just my suggest. That might give you the information you need. Also try newsgroups. Some of those people have a wealth of knowledge nobody knows about. You might find a very large wealth of knowledge there as well. Look for things specicially on kernel o start with, then go from there. HTH! tdh T.

[newbie] Need help installing 2 NICs
I'm setting up a firewall system for a DSL connection using 7.1. I'm using 2 identical ISA NE2000 comp. cards. Win98, on the same machine, recognizes both of them and sets them okay. I'm assuming I have to get Linux to recognize these before I can assign them as eth0 and eth1. The installer wouldn't recognize them (although I did try). How do I go about doing this?

Re: [newbie] Alan - Help, I can't take it anyore. Trying KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.01
In my experience and humble opinion, Upgrades are always evil! It either doesn't add something, or it's unstable. I've tried this with many OS's, meanwhile Windows is the worst at this, but I did upgrade 7.1 to 7.2 and it burped or something because it wouldn't read my .bashrc. The system would function, but I had to source my .aliases and other files in order to read them. After I just reinstalled, everything worked fine. That machine's been up ever since. [timh@yoda timh]$ uptime 9:36am up 54 days, 9:41, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 What I do suggest, is to install /home on a different partition, or drive all together if at a possible. So when you do reinstall the system, you don't format /home so the user directories are only updated with new info that's needed. So you will be able to keep your aliases and .*rc files for various apps you've already used and configured. From there you just have to install some of the software you installed before you did the new install. I also install a developmental workstation because it tosses in a lot of extra libs and what not. I don't have many problems with getting errors on the depancies when I do that. But my first machine was a workstation and I would get those depandency errors all the time. So there's my $.02, and I can make change! lol tdh T.

Title: RE: [newbie] Alan - Help, I can't take it anyore. Trying KDE 2.0 to KDE 2.01 If you do what I did, that is install using the --nodeps, the files should work fine and your installation can proceed. Just load up one or the other with nodeps and then the next one should have no dependency problems.

You can specify more than one file on the command line to be installed. Assuming that all the required rpm files are in ~/rpms, you can do the following: rpm -ivvh ~/rpms/* and it will install them all (providing that all dependencies are met). If it complains about more rpm dependencies, download those and repeat. Be aware that you can mess some things up by upgrading only partially. You seem to be ok as you're only trying to upgrade KDE from 2.0 to 2.01. If you were trying to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x, that would be a different story. -- Blue skies...

then it will have the contents in outfile that you desire.

Re: [newbie] Help? HELP! USB ports
donald hinds escribi: How do you tell HardDarke or Linux to look on the USB ports for devices? Try the following: 1. turn on the device, 2. run usbview. Now your modem has to be shown... if it is select it and press the configure button and you'll be given the adress of your device (my Epson printer is /proc/bus/usb/devices ). And now you're supposed to use that path to tell the hw installation program where the modem is... mine was a printer! O8-) Hope that helps. I have a supported (ZOOM USB) modem (linux-USB.org). LM-7.2 sees my TWO USB ports. When I run HardDrake to install a modem, it gives me options of Serial, ISDN and so forth, but not USB. What file to I change (and how do I change it) so the USB will be an option for the modem? thanks if you can help, Don -- Joan Tur.

Re: [newbie] RealPlayer, Help!
Dera Pato: See my full instructions on downloading, installing and using the RealPlayer 8.bin version, which will work perfectly in LM72. Learn to use the Mandrake archives: See Mandrake's home page (http://www.mandrake.com). Look on the left. You'll see Support, Mailing lists, Archives. I couldn't find it myself. I just checked. Unfortunately, I am in Windows, not in Linux (which is currently out of order). I sent a message to the list called: "installing RealPlayer8.bin -- Instructions" Ask someone on the list for the message. It gives full step-by-step instructions. Once you get the instructions, you'll be playing RealPlayer in minutes. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] RealPlayer, Help!
Dear Pato: Just found my instructions attached to someone else's message. Benjamin Sher wrote: Dear friends: You can get RealPlayer 8 from RealPlayer home page at http://www.real.com by selecting the free RealPlayer 8 Basic and then choosing under OS "Unix". This will take you directly to the Unix Community Supported RealPlayer page at: http://huxley.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform You have a choice of downloading two files for Linux: a RealPlayer8.rpm and the other file, which is a RealPlayer8.bin file. Due to the problem with "a different architecture", the rpm file will NOT install. It has been strongly advised by our gurus NOT to try to install it either by forcing it (--force) or by using the --ignorearch option. INSTEAD, do what I just did, thanks to a message from Wolfgang and from Tom Brinkman: First uninstall RealPlayer 7 by typing the command as root: #rpm -e RealPlayer Now install the RealPlayer8.bin file (around 5.8 meg) as ROOT. Then, as root, continue your installation and install the plugins and mimetypes. This is part of the installation as root. Just follow instructions until you have installed it fully as root. Then, as USER, go to the directory it has installed itself in, namely, /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and type: $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh mimetypes.sh and $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh plugins.sh This will give you the plugins and mimetypes as user. Now, all that's left is to make it more convenient to launch RealPlayer8 as a desktop icon. Create the icon, then in Properties, Execute type: kstart /usr/local/RealPlayer8/./realplay If you don't add "kstart" you won't be able to launch RealPlayer automatically from the icon. So, add the "kstart ..." and it's done. That's it. I am going to send this to the Newbie list. Hopefully, this will help other newbies. My thanks again to everyone who helped.
