As a hack, you can add the command you want to run to the end of the
rc.local file, located at /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
This is where I load some modules in since the modules don't want to load
in the correct order... (it attempts to load sound.o before uart.o, which
sound requires, so I just load
A mirror is a download site which contains a copy of files at some other
site, so for example, the "Update" program asks you to select a 'mirror'
of the main mandrake download site so that you can choose a site that may
be closer (and therefore perhaps faster) to download from, as well as
allow
If you switch your Runlevel from 3 to 5 on the default distro, you will
get a screen from XDM which has a pull down menu to select the window
environment. Switching runlevels means your machine will run in X all the
time.
To fix the unmount problem, download the latest kernel and initscript
To fix the unmount problems, get the kernel updates and initscript updates
either by direct ftp or when in Xwindows. See the mandrake web page for
further details, under the updates section. This fixes the partition busy
message and help you reboot correctly.

If a user mounts a CD, an entry is made to /etc/mtab indicating what

However, if a user mounts a cd and then logs out, no other users except

I believe I remember this bug.
And I'm not aware of a true fix, but see if this helps (what I was told on
another list when I asked this). Run X in another color depth, ie "startx

the default color depth be 16 all the
Is it possible (I'm not really an apache person) that you are missing an

like the following: (edited for paranoia)

Perhaps you are trying to hard (often the case when I have frustrated
myself to death with a problem!). There are two programs available which
can assist you by automatically writing a xf86config file.
Xconfigurator is the one run by the initial install process, and allows

Yes, that's precisely what it means. I don't have further details, like
how to tweak that to check more or less frequently, but the kernel will do
quick checks on all partitions after a number of reboots.

"Without the Law, there is no Liberty. Without Justice, there is no Law."
I can't tell or remember if the last time I recompiled my kernel I put
scsi emulation in or not, and I have since modified the "make xconfig"
file, so even though it's currently checked, I can't tell if it's really
in the one I'm running.
Is there a way to ask the kernel about that?

OK, so normally to get into x after rebooting, I put in the following
parameters because any lower color depths make it look ugly

And I have that aliased as just "x" so that after getting in, i just do
that and boom I'm in.

Certainly. Do a "man fstab" at a shell prompt to get full details, but
