Re: [[newbie] Ram incorrect]

Hi Dennis, I did this and all it found was: /usr/man/man5/lilo.conf.5.bz2 and when I open it in a text editor all I get is hieroglyphics. I am running Linux from the FAT partition and it is booted from a windows prompt (or from windows). Russ - Original Message - Most weird. Try

Re: [newbie] Dual Boot with LiLo and other stuff

Hi All, I just got back from a weekend away so this is the first time I've had to read these responses. I have also saved the thread on the missing ram (I am having that problem too). Anyway, I did do a custom install and installed the entire shootin match. But I am at a loss as to how to work

[newbie] Dual Boot with LiLo and other stuff

Hi All, I just bought and installed LM 7. I have played with several different flavors of Linux and have had some sort of problems with them all. One thing would work in one but not in another, but not all on the same one, till now..It works (most of it, the important stuff anyway).

[newbie] Sound stuff

Hi All, Just wondering if someone can help me with the sound configuration in Linux Mandrake 6.0 I have a Yamaha SYXG50. I am told it is a YMF 724 chip set, but windows recognizes it as OPL3-SA2/3/x which is one of the options in 'sndconfig'. It then asks me to set certain specs: (6 columns)

Hi John, - Original Message - #1 I was wanting to upgrade Netscape but they have 2 versions at Download.com (glibc2 libc5). Which one should I use? or should I get it from someplace else? IIRC, glibc2 is the one you want. However, I downloaded the RPM version from RedHat (for my

Hi all, #1 I was wanting to upgrade Netscape but they have 2 versions at Download.com (glibc2 libc5). Which one should I use? or should I get it from someplace else? #2 My sound was not set up during setup. I haven't got the foggiest idea how to go about setting it up. I tried "sndconfig" at

Re: [newbie] Questions about dual booting - dialing

Hi Rib, I was kinda hoping to use something from Gnome, but anyway I did notice that late last night (about 11:30) and started playing with it. This is what I came up with: When I tried to set it up as a normal user, these errors popped up: pppd is not properly installed the pppd

Re: [newbie] Questions about dual booting

Hi All, I DID IT! YIPPI YAHOOO.com I managed to setup the dual boot Win98\Linux without destroying the DOS partition. Thanks to all the little tidbits you all have given me. It did not go like clockwork but I did manage it. I used Expert mode to install Linux and it asked me a few

Hi again All, Skip question #1 I figured it out (switchdesk). I still need help with the dialer though. Thanks Russ - Original Message - Question #1 I chose Gnome instead of KDE (I'm sorry but I really like the looks of Gnome). When I played with Linux before I was using KDE and was

Hi John, - Original Message - ==[John]== I tend to agree with Steve (?) in saying you should just use LILO and manually type in "dos" (or whatever you've labled it) if you want Windows or "enter" for Linux (or wait for the timeout G) ==

Thank you, I am looking to buy the newest release of Linux and I have settled on either Caldera or Red Hat. Both of the programs you listed below I would like to install. I knew Caldera had WordPerfect but I didn't know about SO (interesting). I have tried several times to download them but

Bela, Thanks for the tip. I do have Mandrake 5.3 and I am looking into buying the newest release either through Red Hat or Caldera (I asked about Gnome because Red Hat uses it and I wanted to check it out). I know absolutely nothing about Linux except for what I have learned here and what I have

RE: [newbie] Gnome

Steve and Gary, Thanks for your posts. I have went to the links that Gary provided and they are the best basic description of the Linux arena that I have been able to view (or maybe I am just able to understand more of what I read now). I especially liked the second one. I have haunted Caldera

[newbie] Gnome

Hi All, I just noticed that I have a directory for Gnome. I also understand that RH ships with Gnome. My question, was Gnome installed when I installed Mandrake? And if it is, how do I run it? Thanks Russ

Hi All, I just changed my video card from a Trident SVGA to a Cirrus Logic VLB card. Linux boots just fine. When I log into KDE it is all messed up. How do I change the settings? Also, When I installed Linux it asked me what resolution I wanted to run. If I choose 800 x 600 it gives me 640 x 480

Hi All, I need a little help. I finally got all the way to the actual install (I think), but when it asks me what partition it is on, I can't get it to find the Red Hat files. I made a primary partition of 600 megs in DOS (left the rest blank) and copied all the CD on that drive. It recognizes

-Original Message- Making a boot disk is a little different for this than it is for dos. Look in the dosutils(?) directory for a program named rawwrite. This copies an image intoa floppy for you. The boot image, and a supplemental if you need it, are in the images directory.
