My apologies if I created a duplicate thread
I was installing Mandrake 9.0 on a really small (32 Meg) PC. Usually,
the install asks what Mandrake cd's you have available, but each time I
tried with a low-resource PC, this was skipped. In the end, Mandrake was
only aware of the first cd.
I tried to use the Configure Sources tool in Mandrake
I'm running MDK 9.0 and had KDE with a few Galeon's open, and the workstation
had been up for several days. One night, memory consumed by the X process
reached over 200 MB and the system started to swap for everything. I had
never seen this before.
X is configured using the stock nv driver, 2
What can one do when X eats up more memory the longer it runs?
Please help.

I'm running MDK 9.0 and the stock nv driver. I have 256 MB RAM so it took

On my older system with a VESA driver 16-bit color, the X process clocks in at
24 MB (the "size" column in top). On the nv system with 24 bit color, X

I'm having a terrible time printing from my Mandrake 8.2 system to an
OfficeJet K60 spooled on Win2K.
I use SMB to print. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn't; the
pattern has been completely random. When it doesn't work, the document
will appear briefly in my Win2K queue but disappears
The table on http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php shows that
Security Level 4 and higher causes ICMP Echo (ping) packets to get
dropped.
How is this accomplished? Is it in the kernel itself? I thought it might
have been a pre-defined IPtables rule executed by an msec script, but my

When a secure mandrake boots up, it appears to check through the system
and set permissions on files and directories throughout the system
according to some pre-defined criteria.
Where is this criteria set so I can customize it?

How can you change the default size of the Konqueror window? I'd like to
rig it so it's full-length when it appears on the screen so I don't have
to resize it manually.

What it is about building Mandrake 82 under the HIGHER security setting
that would prevent ghostview from working properly?
The ghostscript renderer fails inside ghostview and KDE's previewer with
an X11 error. But it works if I telnet in from another host and xhost.
It also works fine on my hos
I have two systems running MDK 82, built nearly identically except for
different security settings. The one running under normal ("high", I
think) security runs ghostview just fine. But the one with security set
to "higher" gets an X error when the renderer tries to start.
The message is
X E
I can't get anything to render thru the ghostscript engine. So, nothing
of the sort works, even Print Previews in KDE.
I can't even render the examples in
/usr/share/ghostscript/6.53/examples. The error I always get is
Error: /invalid fileaccess in --.outputpage--
Operand stack:
... etc.
How can I find out what the various "wizards" in Mandrake 8.2 do?
I can't find any documentation on 8.2 at Mandrake's web site. I'd like
to know what files are modified by any given wizard.

I boot into Mandrake with the Frame Buffer option so I have a nice, huge

Down message appears.
It's strange because dual-booting into Win2K does the same thing (power down
drives but leave mb running). But previous Mandrake releases shut the system
off just fine.

How come Mandrake 8.2 doesn't switch off my computer after a shutdown?
apmd is installed and executing, and I can hear the drives turn off, but
the PC stays running. Previous versions of Mandrake shut the power off
completely. The only thing different about this build from my older ones
is I've r
I have a system where the screen jiggles and shakes, apparently when the

The weird part: it does NOT occur if I boot the same PC into Windows.

My system has WinNT on hda and MDK on hdb. Not until Mandrake 8.2 have I
found these lines put into my lilo.conf:
disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81
disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x80
...
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
map-drive=0x80
to 0x81
map-drive=0x81
to 0x80
Just something I've seen in Mandrake Install (DrakInstall?) over the
past several releases of Mandrake.
There needs to be an intelligent check on the size of the partitions. If
"/" is too small, say under 80 MBytes, you will get strange errors down
the road when packages start loading. Packages
If you decide to go for the NVidia drivers from NVidia, do you I need to EXPECT to
recompile openGL stuff like xscreensaver ('cause they never work from the mdk RPM's
with
the 3rd party driver running)? Should you NOT install Mesa and Mesa-demos at all if
you intend to use NVidia drivers?

Has anyone else seen this problem n MDK 8.1?
su'd as root, occasionally RPM will start locking up, I think reading
its database. So, if I do "rpm -qa" for example, I'll get half the list
and it stops. It's hung until I break it. As soon as it happens once, it
keeps happening on subsequent tries.
At the risk of bringing up a tired topic...
