[newbie] Dual Booting

OK... I just installed a new hard drive in my machine. Now Linux gets it's own drive! :-) Anyway, I have Windoze on the Primary master (/dev/hda). Linux is on the secondary master (/dev/hdc). The problem is, I installed LILO in the master boot record on /dev/hda. It will boot Linux but not

[newbie] Comments on Graphical Installation

A few days ago I got a copy of the MacMillan version of Mandrake 7.0. I have a couple of things to say about the new graphical installation. First, generally, I'm not impressed. I actually found the old installation method easier to use. The installation of packages seems to be a crapshoot. I

[newbie] Music Composer?

Does anyone know if there is a "music composer" app available for Linux? Many, MANY, years ago, I used to create "sid" files for Commodore 64 128 machines. I was thinking I'd like to create some music files now with the more sophisticated hardware and software available today. Any ideas? TIA

[newbie] MacMillan Mandrake 7.0

Does anyone know if MacMillan's version has Mandrake 7.0 or 7.0.2? On the box, it doesn't indicate 7.0.2. TIA! -- Rick Friedman Salant Corp. - MIS 800-472-8013 x75105 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "The closest thing to heaven on earth is Yankee Stadium."

[newbie] GDM or KDM?

OK... Currently, my system boots to runlevel 5. KDM comes up by default, apparently. Just out of curiosity, I tried to get GDM to come up. I found I didn't know how to do that. I tried running switchdesk and choosing GNOME. I thought that might make the login default to gdm but it didn't work.

[newbie] Boot Rescue Disk

I ran mkbootdisk and successfully created a boot disk (apparently). When I try to boot with it (to test it), it starts booting and then asks me to enter "rescue" if that's what I want. So, to test it out, I entered "rescue" (no quotes of course) and it proceeds to boot. However, it soon stops

[newbie] [OT] MSNBC Summit

I saw an advertisement today on MSNBC. On February 27, they are going to have, what they are calling, a "Silicon Valley Summit." It's supposed to have all the "leaders" in the technology revolution. I presume this means the usual culprits, i.e. Micro$oft (Gates or otherwise), Sun, Oracle, etc. I

[newbie] Problem Installing 6.0

First of all, TIA for any help you can give. A friend of mine is trying to install Mandrake 6.0 on his laptop. He has a 24gb hard drive. Approximately 12GB are dedicated to Windoze. The rest is all free space. During the install, he is using Disk Druid to create the Linux partitions. He is able

[newbie] A new convert to Linux

Well, my son has become a Linux convert. He always thought it funny that his father was deserting Windoze for Linux. Understand, my son is 12 years old and more into games than anything else. Until yesterday, I had never gotten a game for Linux. However, yesterday I saw Heroes of Might Magic 3

[newbie] 6.1 X-server

Fill up the 3gallon bucket with water. Empty it into the 5 gallon bucket. You now have exactly 3 gallons in the 5 gallon bucket. Fill up the 3 gallon bucket again. Empty it into the 5 gallon bucket until you have exactly 5 gallons. This means you have removed 2 gallons from the 3 gallon bucket
