RE: [newbie] samba GUI interface

2002-08-15 Per discussione Tibbetts, Ric
I just installed samba on Mandrake 8.2 and I was wondering if there was a GUI interface or network configuration on KDM that would allow you to view your local network? I think there is some confusion about what you're asking. Are you trying to view a particular smb mount, or are you

man mkisofs I've used it several times to clone a CD. If you have a CD Drive, AND a CD-RW in the same box, you can get creative an run something like mkisofs /mnt/cdrom - | cdrecord -v dev=5,0 speed=8 - (purely an example. The syntax is probably not right). The two programs you want to use are

Why not just use convert? It's part of Imagemagic, and it's already installed. Just my .02p I seem to have lots of .02's today. ;) Ric -Original Message- From: John Rigby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2002 11:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Re:Gif

Oops, sorry about that, I hit the send by mistake. Mandrake did a small instruction sheet for doing this, should you decide that you really want to. It's actually pretty painless. The Mandrake instructions, and download are at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/mdk-kde3.0.php3 Have fun!

Here's another way to hang a system: 1. mount some nfs shares. 2. shut down one of the machines serving the nfs share without first unmounting it, and have a filemanager open to the remote filesystem 3. Now try to shut down the client machine. It will hang on unmounting the remote

Marc Sorry it took me a while to answer this one. You need to fix /etc/security/limits.conf There is a setting in there that sets the file size limit to 100mb. just change that to something more acceptable to your situation, and all will be fine. Ric -Original Message- From: Marc
