Typically a .tar.gz file isn't directly installed. Instead, you usually:
1. run 'tar -xzvf whatever.tar.gz' from the command line
2. run './configure' (to configure it)
3. run 'make' (to compile)
4. run 'make install' (to install)

Chris,
This is part of the e-mail that cron sends on completion of the 'logcheck'
entry in /etc/cron.daily . Basically these are items to let you know that

disable it, and in fact is a good idea to check on the items it is

Tomek,
First, you need to create the new partition(s) on it. You can do this from
the command line by doing fdisk /dev/hdx --where x depends on where it is
on your ide cable (ide0 primary is hda, ide0 slave is hdb, ide1 primary is
hdc, ide1 slave is hdd).
After that, you need to create the file
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinet restart' from the command line as root.

As an fyi, the 'i' (lowercase) option to tar (at least in ver 7.2 of

This comes from the man page. This is different from 'I' which says:

Benjamin,
This depends on which version of Mandrake you are using. If you run
Mandrake 7.2, the command would be 'tar -xvIf filename.tar.bz2' (without

If you run earlier versions of Mandrake, they may not support doing it as
one step, so the commands would be 'bunzip2 filename.tar.

James,
Before you remove the scripts, change portmap from "auto" starting on
bootup, to manual start. This will make sure you aren't running portmap,
and hence won't have any problems when shutting down (since if it isn't
running, linux will not try to stop it.)

Hugh,
This sounds as if you have user or disk quotas enabled, and have exceeded
one of the hard limits. As root, open linuxconf, config-->File Systems -->
Disk Quotas.
Either relax them (ie, increase the default values) or disable disk quotas.
Also check to make sure that your drive(s) aren't f

In order to run NFS, you must start portmap first, otherwise remote
mounting of the nfs share will not work.

Actually, steps 3 and 4 must come before 1. In order to remove ext2
partitions you must boot into some version of linux such as Tom's Root Boot
and use linux fdisk, not the windows fdisk.
Then boot using the win98 startup floppy, run fdisk /mbr
Try editing /etc/resolv.conf directly.

There's a few things wrong here:

Verify that you have cups-devel, which is what provides cups.h -- not sure

Jennifer,
I would have to say that Kmail has nothing to do with it, since portmap is
not needed for pop3 / imap / sendmail / postfix. In fact, you do not need
to run portmap if you are not running nfs / nis AFAIK (nfs is roughly the
unix equivalent to samba, nis is the equivalent to a primary do

Don,
It would help to know which version of Mandrake you are using. If it's
8.0, you should be fine. If it is 7.2, you can't install the cooker rpms
since they are built for 8.0 not 7.2. There are now several ongoing
threads on the expert list to try to get cooker rpms / srpms that work with

In that case, you can try running rpm -t .tar.gz --i
I would say you'd be much better off if you found the 2.1 SRPMS and did a
rpm --rebuild, then installed the resulting rpms. I would not suggest
compiling from source unless there is a way to point it to /usr/local (such
that it wouldn't overwrite any existing information you have).

This means that you haven't installed the "make-*.i586.rpm", which should
be included on your CD(s).
