[newbie] How to best support Mandrake

for the PowerPack including shipping has got to be value for money. You even get manuals! My guess would be that if you buy it from your computer shop, Mandrake may see only a small percentage of this. cheers Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] System Getting Sluggish

That's OK Civileme, it makes the rest of us feel better to know you are not quite perfect. Thanks Alan - now I have another command with which to baffle myself and others ;-) Brian On Fri, 2002-03-15 at 13:38, civileme wrote: Alan Shoemaker wrote: Brian Parish wrote: Civileme, Hmmm

[newbie] Interrupts and being interrupted

moving either the USB or the sound card is probably the better option. One last point of info: This is a multi-channel sound card that requires ALSA 0.9 beta5 or greater to work - I'm using beta 10. Forget about any configuration of this card in any of the GUI's. They don't know about it. TIA Brian

Re: [newbie] partition

Re: [newbie] need to re-install OS

applied updates, some settings in the paritions you leave unformatted could possibly conflict, but you are unlikely to see serious problems from this. If your need to reinstall is because of problems, maybe trying to fix them is also an option. Plenty of help available here if so. HTH Brian

Re: [newbie] Interrupts and being interrupted

the alsa driver as it sounds like something in the way it was set up is dictating the irq. If you have any more thoughts they are welcome. Otherwise I'll re-read the alsa docs and look in that direction. thanks again Brian On Fri, 2002-03-15 at 11:41, Bill Davidson wrote: Have a look at /etc
