Unfortunately you do not automagically get hardware acceleration w x 4.0.1 and mandrake 7.2. I had to use the same procedures to make it work that I used with 7.0 and 7.1. I've got an A7V (Via KT13) and linux works great on it. Abe "Ronald J. Hall" wrote: > > Hmm

hey all, you can avoid creating a login name when you first fire up netscape6 by clicking on the link that says something to the effect "I am 13 years of age or younger." Or you can make a silly one like mine. BiggethDicketh Love that python. civileme wrote: > > OK > > You go to Netscape's

get version 7.2 of mandrake which will automatically detect and configure your V5. Mandrake 7.0 will not detect the V5 because it uses x 3.3.6 and you need x 4.01. Abe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Arguably in your case Red Hat appears to be "better"... > > [EMAIL PR

more extensible then IDE though. The only device on a SCSI chain that gets an IRQ is the controller card. Hope that gives you some food for thought! I hate it when I ask a question about hardware and I get "this is better" "no, This is better" with no reasons why ;-) Abe

d 65-70MBs and sustained around 50. I've been told that the 2.4 kernel addresses ata100 but I hear that the 2.4 kernel addresses everything that doesn't currently work in linux so I'm starting to be a bit skeptical since I'm using 2.4.0 from mandrake 7.2b3 right now. Abe
