Hello all,
Over the weekend I was able to setup Samba on mdk8.1b3 and I'm
able to see my shares under Network Places on the win2k box and I can
also see my Epson860 printer and I can print to it with most programs.
However, there are a few programs that I've noticed so far that generate

Just a note
The -r switch has been depricated and replaced by the -R. Why, so that
you don't accidently type -r. This way it takes an extra finger. It's
saved my butt a number of times when I'm tired. nothing like typing rm -r
return /somedirectory instead of rm -r /somedirectry return.

Sometimes putting double quotes around the filename helps too. In some
cases, you can put a left double quote then use tab completion to call up
the right file, then append another
Hi,
I added a security upgrade source to the software manager in Mandrake 8.0.
There were a lot of packages that could be upgraded. I did them all thinking
these are security ones and not from a unstable tree.
After a reboot modules weren't loaded right. I didn't have sound and other

Hi,
That IS a good solution Civileme; however, most of the time when I am
going to delete a full directory, I do the following:
ls /dir
and if it IS in fact what I want to delete, I then type
rm -Rf ESC+_
(that is escape and underscore, to insert that last argument from the last
command)

Another note:
If you don't need serial ports, disable them. You might be able to enable
USB and still disable its IRQ in the BIOS as well. Disable all unneeded
parallel ports. If he doesn't have any devices on the floppy controller
(e.g., I don't have a floppy drive in my system), disable it.

In the BIOS settings, find the advanced hardware properties. In there,
there should be an option to disable "IRQ for VGA" (that is, take away the
video card's IRQ). That's how all my systems are set up, and it works for
me (tm). Then tell it to "Reset ECSD Data" (this clears the IRQ-device

Hi Andreas,
Greetings from Switzerland.
Under Staroffice b.e. choose a Postscript Printer in the Printer Manager.
Should do the trick.

For example

Don't forget you can always uses filename completion by typing part of the
name and hitting tab.
