Hi Agi, Well, there is. You can setup a late version of the Linux kernel (anything newer than 2.1.119 should do) with vesafb and use the XF86_FBDev server with it. Anthony D'Amico has a nice introduction how to do this at http://www.uno.edu/~adamico/banshee/, where he describes how to get

Are you downloading files as SOURCE or TEXT? I know Netscape Communicator gives you the option, I forget if kfm does. This owuld be the equivalent of GETting a .ZIP binary from an FTP with ASCII mode set. Paul - Original Message - From: Clay To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

a recent kernel (at least 2.0.36 that comes with Mandrake 5.2) and recompile it to include VFAT support. You would then add an entry to your fstab and/or lilo.conf to mount the FAT32 partition. It is possible, as I have done it. Paul -- +---+ Paul A. Bernicchi

[newbie] OK - Mandrake 5.2 and KDE

Thanks to all of you that graciously helped me out with my previous problems. I've asked folks on #kde and #linux (EFnet IRC), but I can't get a straight answer, and since Mandrake's support area is seriously lacking (unless I'm missing something)... I currently have 5.2 installed as

Definitely! If you like I'll send you my lilo.conf file that you would install into the MBR by lilo -v -- as I have virtually the exact same configuration (drive capacities are different). You'll want lilo on the /hda1, which will either pass control onto the Windows partition, or load the

Michael, I have FAT32 on my primary partition, but I have had no configuration problems whatsoever. Of course, in order to access the partition once you're in Linux, you'll need VFAT support compiled into your kernel. My advice would be to stay away from Partition Magic or similar

Is your Win98 partition mounted in Linux? If it's a FAT16 drive then you'll need to mount is as 'mount -t msdos /dev/hdxx (fill in 'xx' with your Win partition) /win98' If it's FAT32, make sure you have VFAT support compiled into your kernel, instead of 'msdos,' plug in 'vfat' -- this is
