Hi there,
(don't know exactly how to post stuff so I try again with [newbie] in the
subject)
Just installed Linux Mandrake 5.3 a week ago and figured out a lot but I've
still got some questions.
I installed it on a IBM ThinkPad 380Z with 64 MB.
The graphics adapter is a NeoMagic 256AV or
I recently ordered a Mandrake 5.3 disk from LinuxMall. Will I be able to use
a boot disk that came with RH 5.2 to start the installation process, or will I
need to create a Mandrake specific boot disk to get going???
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Yesterday (or the day before) there was a mild flame on the list about
people using Outlook and their quotes being at the end of the message.
I'm using the new Outlook 5 at work (comes with IE5) and can't find the
option to switch this behaviour to what was suggested (quoted text first).
I have just installed Linux-Mandrake for the first time. I put it on my Thinkpad
760ED and everything works great. Except.. Every time I boot up, my num lock is
on and when I try to login in, if the login id uses any keys that fall in the numeric
keypad area, I get numbers instead of
I had the same feeling for about a week after first installing linux a year
or so ago. Since then, though, I can tell you that linux has opened up a lot
more opportunities to actually learn new things about computers in general.
I'm heavily into computer graphic art now simply because you have at

Hi,
I'm getting the same screwy thing with my ATI Xpert@Work. If I (using

I've installed Mandrake 5.3. I believe it has the 2.0.36 kernel. I haven't
upgraded any package yet.

Making a boot disk is a little different for this than it is for dos.
Look
in the dosutils(?) directory for a program named rawwrite. This copies
an
image intoa floppy for you. The boot image, and a supplemental if you
need
it, are in the images directory.

I ran Mandrake on a clean install. I have 128 meg of memory.
Could it be that since I couldn't get LILO to boot my hard drive and am
booting from a bootdisk that it's not respecting the append statement?

Hello! I am a newbie and I just got my LM 5.2 last week. I'm really

More and more computers now days come with a 'winmodem' instead of a true
modem. I have a small computer business, and I decided a while back that I
would only sell computers with 3Com/U.S. Robotics modems. Sure, they are
about 3-4 times the price of the cheap Lucent and Rockwell based winmodems,
Click on the Accounts button and look in the options for that or look up in the
