when linux says the modem is busy, it's usually because there is a lock
file. go into the setup of kppp, and find something that says "Use Lock
File", and uncheck it. that's what i have to do when i get the modem busy
message.

i beleive if you use "chmod", you can change the permissions of all your
harddrives. but i'm not sure how to do it, at least for your computer.
hope i helped a little.

okay, i got samba all set up and running. i can see my linux box from
windows. when i try to connect to it, it prompts for a password. however,
i have not set a password for it. i've tried every password for my system,
and even tried nothing. but it always tells me that it's an invalid
okay, mandrake puts a lot of stuff on your computer when you install it.
how do i find out what it has installed, and then how do i get rid of it if
i don't want it?
thanks

go to linuxconf (i think that's it), and go to boot manager. in there you
should be able to change the default boot. sorry for being so unsure, but
my linux box isn't here right now.

go to setup in kppp. click on the device tab. there will be a box that
says "Use lock file". uncheck it. that's usually the problem when my modem
is locked. later.

i just wrote an e-mail to drake x about this problem. it happened to me
agin tonight. in my case (and i don't know if it's the same as yours), it
was the fstab file. get into the shell and emacs the fstab file. see what
it says. i have a hunch that that is your problem.

hey man, what's up. guess what? it happened to me again tonight!!! but i
figured out what was wrong, at least with my system. it's the fstab file.
for some reason, when i try to get my zip drive to work, it overwrites
everything in the fstab file, and leaves only the lines for the zip
i'm sorry you have to go. i had a similar problem, but my harddrive
wouldn't remount in read/write mode. so i basically had a harddirive that i
could only read off of. the only answer i could get where things like edit
the fstab file, etc. but i couldn't cause it was a read only hd.
i want an mp3 player, a good one, and an aol instant messanger clone, so i
can contact people using IM. does anyone know of any really good ones?

well, i can tell you that it is a problem with X. i had the same problem,
but it was caused by another problem (mainly my hdd becoming read only).
but i don't know how to fix it. sorry man.

same here man. i'd love to get rid of windoze, but unfortunatly, i can't.
i have all my pre-linux work in windoze. plus, i have programing to do,
that has to be in visual c++. so, for school, and professional reasons, i
need windoze too.
