, this might be your solution. However, if you haven't and wish to do so without reinstalling, I am afraid you will have to ask others here to help you. I am still not at that stage in the game to help you change over. :-) T - Original Message - From: Flux [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

[newbie] Mandrake startup

2002-11-05 Thread Flux
When Mandrake starts up, a list of various drivers/modules/devices scrolls on the screen. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Strangely enough, the first time I installed Mandrake Linux, this list was displayed in the text console. Since I reinstalled Mandrake, the list scrolls

[newbie] Best Linux Laptop

2002-11-05 Thread Flux
I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but what's the best laptop for the average Linux distro? I had, at first, targeted Compaq's Presario 2800T, but I caught wind that Compaq's suck for Linux. (This could explain my current problems) I'm buying two new laptops for me and my boss, and

Joe, When I received errors like that, it was because I was trying to run a program via WINE from a directory that wasn't mapped in WINE. In other words, you're trying to run a program in directory A, but there is no Drive mapping in the WINE config file for directory A. I could have

Has anyone thought of anything else I can try with this laptop? As far as I know, I'm using the latest drivers with XFree86 4.xx and I can't figure it out. Again, the last install of ML9.0 on this very laptop did not have the problem, but now it pops up again. I've already reinstalled ML9.0

Okay, this definitely fits in the newbie catagory... I've been playing around with my dual-boot Win2k/ML9 install, when it finally got to me that I can't really interact with the Windows partition, due to the NT file system. So, I decided to downgrade the Windows install to Win98SE. Now,

[newbie] What's with the CDROM drive?

REAL newbie question here: Is there any way to get removable media to work in Linux the way it does in the Windows/Mac world? It kinda bugs me that I have to unmount the cdrom just to eject it. Case in point, if I accidentally hit the eject button on my laptop, nothing happens, and the disc

ok, do you have KDE installed, probably, so I will explain using KDE's Kppp program, it is listed under the menu Internet, this is relativly simple, almost like setting up window's dial up connection.. !IMPORTANT!, the most important step is your DNS, you will connect without it, but you
