[newbie] NVIDIA

Hey, I'm wondering about this subject as well. I've a Diamond Viper 770D with 32MB RAM, using the Riva TnT 2[v5] module. Till yesterday, I was running some "Other" module, but I'd reset the Riva in drakcomf had also installed the glide files from CD. Some games are now fine, but others

Re: [newbie] Kernel Source

Hey Riker, I'm taking my first stab at messing with the Kernel. Such as recompiling and then I'm going to compile a new kernel. The problem I'm having now is that the kernel source wasn't installed during the install. Is there a way to install the source kernel so I can do things such as

Re: [newbie] zip driver permissions

Hey Marcia, Try this line: /mnt/zip /mnt/zip supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/zip 0 0 Dear All, I have Linux-Mandrake 7.2 and I had my internal Atapi zip drive supermounted and it was working fine until recently. As user all of a sudden I cannot copy a file into my zip. I can take them out

Re: [newbie] Mail delayed

Hey Dennis Is anyone else noticing that their posts are delayed quit a long time, like up to 24 hours? Yeah. Saw last night it took some hours for one. Today, it's been a little less than that, but still taking a long time. Meph -- "I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody."

[newbie] Switching from Grub to lilo

Hey, I will likely be switching my dual-boot from lm7.2 W2k to lm7.2 W98 (can't get games to find the sound card -- besides I only use Windows for games). I thought I saw a way to do that in DrakConf, but now I look can't find what I thought I'd seen. How would I do that? Meph --

Re: [newbie] Flashing BIOS under Linux?

Morning, But how can I run an .exe file in linux?? Only if the app is actually something that runs in Linux. The extensions, in most cases in Linux, are arbitrary. In this case, not likely. But again, if you can find a way to get it to floppy, you may have a chance. If it's not

RE: [newbie] basic question

Hey, One of the boxes I have here dual-boots W98 RH 6.0. It's a P100, an 850MB a 250MB drive, has 48MB RAM the RH spans both disks. While it's not a ~lot~ faster than W98, it is noticeable. As Herman mentioned, RAM is important. My girl friend's pc is a P-II 333 with 64MB of RAM

Re: [newbie] Flashing BIOS under Linux?

Hey Vic, Well I could use wine to run the .exe file or I could dd an image to a floppy--- I would prefer to dd an image file if possible. Any chance that's a dos, as opposed to a Win, executable? Like After running the extraction exe for my bios, there was a readme, an exe something

Re: [newbie] Nvidia Riva 128Z acceleration

Hey, 1) It is possible acceleration for this video card using XFree 4.0 or 4.01? 2) In this case do I need to select an expert installation? A question for everybody, there is any person that has reached the acceleration with this video card (Nvidia Riva 128Z) on Mandrake 7.2?, How?

Re: [newbie] Confirming deletion

Morning Paul, Thanks Paul, but, as you can see here: # User specific aliases and functions alias ls='ls --color=auto' alias ls='ls --color=tty' I've only these two entries under alias. I checked /etc/bashrc as well. No alias entries at all there. Highly fascinating. But I can't

[newbie] Confirming deletion

Hey, You know, I remember long ago finding how to turn ~on~ the command line feature to confirm rm, but I can't find how to turn it off now lm turnsit on by default. I've been using the -f option, but would really like to not be prompted at all. How ~is~ that turned off? Meph --

Re: [newbie] hda: no response (reseting drive)

Hey Paul, I am trying to load Mandrake 7.2 but it doesn't seem to be able to identify my hard disk. The booklet mentions Mandrake can partition the HD during installation. When booting the mandrake CD I get the response 'hda: no response (reseting drive)'. It then goes through the

John, Whoa! Talk about obsessive;-). But dude, isn't life just a little dull explicitly playing by the rules? I honestly don't know how many, but I've had (in RH 6.0 likely ~will~ have in mdk 7.2 after installing this weekend) numerous files with spaces, exceeding 14 characters, even

Hey, I've been using RH 6.0 for about a year a half now (had used RH 5.0 on a dual-boot box at a job I'd had when the 5.0 was released too) will be switching to LM 7.2 (the Complete's on back-order right now from CheapBytes). Though I'd found that my hardware all seems to be supported,
