I have an AMD Athlon 1.1G, Asus A7V Motherboard, Tekram U160 SCSI controller, IBM U160 SCSI drive with Elsa Gladiac Geforce2GTS and MDK7.2. It all works fine far less problems than when trying to get same combination running on W2K (which required me to download loads of driver updates).

[Cooker] 7.2 default to XFree4.01

2000-11-06 Thread Nigel . Webber
Hi I selected 4.01 when prompted, but xfree defaulted to 3.3.6 - not sure why?? I have an Nvidia Geforce2 GTS graphics controller, I thought that perhaps the OpenSource support for 4.01 did not exist and that was why? Anyway, how can I make it such that 'startx' starts 401? Nigel

Hi On install of mdk 7.2 (final?), Diskdrake ate my Windows 2000 partition - any suggestions? I did an expert install on a 13GB drive where Windows occupied the first half of the drive. When I got to diskdrake, I created a swap and a "/" partition in my free space and chose only to

This is NOT 'going wrong', it is a simple warning message that is of no consequence whatever. Lilo works just fine off all drives and is not limited to just the first drive (it used to be a long time ago). Well it doesn't work until I unplug the IDE drive and then re-run lilo. If I then

You don't have to unplug the IDE drive, btw. Just don't enable it in the BIOS and everything works fine. But you'll still be able to access the IDE in Linux, because it doesn't care about the bios settings once booting is done. Tried that too, still finds it during boot as the first device.

I've just installed 7.2 (beta?) on a Pentium III - 600 MHz, 20GB of HD, 256 MB of RAM... When I tryed to boot up the system, just after the prompt "Lilo Boot:", I can see: Sounds like your compressed kernel image has become corrupt, so it fails the CRC check while being decompressed. I think

When clicking on 'configure' in harddrake-disk, the partition tool comes up. I think a way of setting DMA, 32bit access and so on for a disk would also be nice (I have to put my hdparm tuning parameters into rc.local, unless I missed another better way ? ). I have had problems with HD tuning

Hi The menu really winds me up as well. I hate being boxed into using what the Distro vendor thinks I should use - one of the reasons I moved to linux was cause I wanted to freedom to config my system like *I* wanted it. People are different, and work in different ways, and what works for the
