It may be that you need to modprobe

I have done modprobe usb-storage and mounting returns
this:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/camera

I have tried other mount points too: /dev/sda
/dev/sda2 /dev/sdb,

this hasn't been fully resolved in all cases. I have

Dont mount as /dev/sda, mount as /dev/sda1.
/dev/sda is the, as I see it,
top of the sda device list, the header, and sda1,

I don't have a /dev/sda1, but just to make sure I
changed fstab to reflect /dev/sda1 and then tried
mounting it:

I tried several ways to use diskdrake and it just
wouldn't resize the partition, that's why I used FIPS.
To make life as simple as possible I created a DOS
boot floppy disk, copied FIPS onto it, booted from the
floppy and ran FIPS. All of this may not actually be
necessary but I like to keep
I helped a friend deal with the same situation by
using a little utility called FIPS. You can find it on
your Mandrake CD's. It doesn't have a fancy GUI but it
will take you through the resizing process
step-by-step and is really pretty easy to use.

Chromium, or Tuxracer by changing to the nVidia

drivers
Dan, I have been following the various threads
concerning nVidia drivers. I was hesitant to use the
1.0 drivers at first, but they ended up being my best
option and work great for me. Tuxracer and Chromium
look great full screen. I followed the instructions
from nVidia for the 1.0 drivers using
I did the install from the mandrake rpm's on the
nvidia website and followed the instructions on that

won't.
I should be starting X with gdm. Here's a copy of the
appropriate portion of /etc/X11/prefdm:

After commenting about how wonderful Tuxracer is with
the nVidia 1.0 drivers in full screen I went back to
play it and it wouldn't start. I tried to start it
from a terminal and it said: segmentation fault.

which was 32 bit color. I changed

I am getting conflicting information concerning the
version of X I'm running, and the color depth. When I
bring up X-Server - KDE Control Module it tells me
that I am running XFree86 3.3.6 and a 24 bit color
depth. If I run XFree86 -version in a terminal it
tells me that I am running XFree86
There is a discussion concerning the nVidia drivers on
Mandrakeuser.org. After reading the threads I decided
to use the older drivers myself.
