[newbie] Mandrdake 9.2 and Atapi Zipdrive

Information gleaned from running dmesg reveals that Mandrake 9.2 reads my hdc (CDrom) and hdd (Atapi Zip drive) through scsi host adapter emulation. Does this mean that I cannot have the zipdrive recognized directly for what it is, namely a non-scsi drive? I'm trying to find out why my

[newbie] Interrupted Install of Mandrake8

Using the text install (my SiS6326 card not recognized by the graphic install program), I have tried both automated and expert installs and in each case the first disk gets ejected prematurely. Strangely the install then jumps to root password and carries on to the end. I end up with a rather

[newbie] lpr mystery

On my Mandrake 7.1 I installed my HP Laserjet printer. Later verified that it was installed using printerdrake. Yet, when I $lpr file.txt I get lpr: printer unknown. Is lpr faulty or just my understanding of what is needed to fully install a printer on 7.1? -- M.

Re: [newbie] Linux Digital Cameras II

My security is normal. I'm on a Pentium 333, with an SiS6326 (groan) board and 32 meg ram. I suspect two things: 1) the gphoto rpm installed but my system lacked some critical files. I shall try a .tar.gz version and see what happens. Which version did you use? 2) My serial com port is not

Re: [newbie] Linux Digital Cameras

The question may be academic. According to the documentation that came with a Fujifilm digital camera, the adapter prefers a single operating system on the harddrive. Why this should be so, I have no idea. Michael Coady On Tue, 15 Aug 2000, you wrote: Has a driver for this floppy-adapter

I can't explain it, but somehow 7.1 decided to allow Fetchmail to be installed. I guess it found the smtpdaemon somewhere on the system. Again, I apologize if I wasted anyone's time. Michael Coady

[newbie] .src.tar

Does an .src.tar file get treated the same way as a regular, simple .tar file? Of is it like the .src.rpm file that requires preliminary work before being treated as a regular rpm file? Thanks for any enlightenment. Michael Coady

RE: [newbie] Unpacking tar gz files

That statement "where the path will find them" might answer some anguish I've had with tgz files. Could you explain why you would place the src.tgz files in a directory different from where you would put the straight .tgz files? And is it possible that one could untar a file in a place where
