I have been upgrading a L-M 6.1 system.

Its actually more like Opera-Alpha
Very buggy but at least they got it
out the door for public testing.
I have read docs, mans etc and seen various posts
concerning this topic and in fact I think Axalone
mentioned it a few thousand messages back, however
I am not clear what the simplest approach is to:
From machine 'A' Linux Mandrake 6.1 fully functional,
with a directory full of new 'Cooker'
Being a cable-modem user here in Alaska we have
had some difficulty at first getting them to recognize
us Linux users as a bonifide group, but the change has
come rapidly, in fact the last Tech Support person I
talked to runs LInux-Mandrake at home and in fact the
ISP has switched to running a
For some reason I continue to miss the obvious.
On a machine with two smallish HD's;
/dev/hda; The 1-gig has M$/Linux-Mandrake 6.1 with
System Commander as boot manager.
/dev/hdc The second 400mg HD, I made a ext2 mounted as
/usr/local.
/dev/hda3 / this one of course has a usr/local too
Yes, sometimes the most obvious answers
are the very ones which ellude us.
'mke2fs' was the command I was looking for!
Thanks to Mike Fieschko for bringing that up.
The file system is recognized and functioning
reasonably well for being on an old 400 meg HD.
So; fdisk /dev/hdc, create new
rk without having to go into M$
again for a 'fdisk/mbr' as I really don't know if its a
"linux thing" or a "dos/M$ thing" or none of the above?

On a test system I had one small HD with ;

/dev/hda. I find an old 400mg Drive lying around,
hook it up, get it recognized at boot, do the;
fdisk /dev/hdc and it shows everything fine
in fact it was a linux disk of some vintage.
So I use fdisk to, delete
Has anyone else tried this out !?

Benjamin !
Did you try the extra step I tried which
corrected my constant buggy printing problems
of several weeks ago? i.e.
With LPD originally compiled as modular (by default)
in the 6.1 kernel
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
at the end of the file past the last 'fi' I put;
/sbin/modprobe parport
Sorry for the misprint ; should have read:
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/AWE32
Helps quite a bit. Once I quit trying to run 'sndconfig'
(it seems to never let well enough alone and always changes things, at
least for me)

Has support or abuse @racetrac.com been contacted by anyone?
Or what are our options if this persists?

"Linux in a Nutshell 2nd Edition" published by O'Reilly.
It has a good overview of command line examples.
Also the Macmillan Linux-Mandrake distributions have several E Books
Which are several thousand pages of reading.

the update lpr rpm?
(It worked for some not for others)
There sure have been a lot of bizzare printer config problems with
Linux-Mandrake 6.1 if that is the version you're using.
Good luck!

I am continuing to be caught in printer configuration problems.
I have had the most trouble in 4 YEARS to configure this frequently used
printer!
Have I lost what little Linux knowledge I thought I knew!?
I certainly dont mind admitting my ignorance if someone can point it out
to me :-)
My last
Can someone tell me the obvious mistake I am making !
I have L-M 6.1 Helios
I have setup printers on RH and L-M before, However the properly
connected printer, used before the 6.1 upgrade is not being detected
when I attempt to "add printer" in printtool?
The conf.modules has the line I
Well still working with printtool here :-(
A reboot got my lp0 detected finally this time. Dont know why it didn't
before.
So a "Print ASCII directly to port" gets the test line ok the first try
Second try it gets cockeyed though still prints
"Print ASCII test page" gets files qued but no
Has anyone gotten this chip to work on Linux-Mandrak 6.0? , or 6.1?
I recently finally got a friend who is an "Instructor" for classes for
the "Darkside" and NT to try out Linux and his first snag was the

Any suggestions?
