In regards to running VNC with KDE or gnome you will probably run into
problems with the newer versions of those window managers.
As i understand it (i could be wrong on this:-) they both require XFree4.0
or later and VNC's xserver (XVNC) is not compatable with them. When i setup

Peter,
thanks for the reply. It doesn't really help me solve the problem since I
don't have a copy of 7.2 left to copy the scripts over from but at least I
now know which directory to backup IF i can get this figured out. I may not
fix this problem but at least i have learned something from it.
I rearranged my home office today to please my better half who is always
complaining about it being cluttered and saying things like This room would
look so much better if only..
This reordering involved moving my LM8.0 computer.
I did a shutdown -h now as root from an xterm and everything
I have found that you also have to make the /home/username director world

In my specific case i have /home/fireman with drwxr-xr-x and then i have

Hope this helps,

Jim,
One thing that threw me for a loop was that when I booted up the computer
the first time it didn't send me to a login screen it just dumped me into
KDE. Before I could switch window managers I had to logout of KDE. After I
did that it gave me the expected login screen where I could choose
it?
Again, thanks in advance,
Ian K. Harrell

In essence all a mount point is is a directory in you file system ie.
/mnt/cdrom or /mnt/floppy. they are only empty directories until you mount a
device to them. What mounting does is attach the device, in this case you
CD-Rom, to that directory in your file system so that you can access it.
After putting 7.2 on a machine i got from work (pentium 120, 32meg ram) i
decided to put it on my network and replace an older machine that i was

machines i can open up network neighborhood and see the linux box.
I was gifted with an old comp from work and tried installing LM7.2 on it.
Everything during the install and all post install configuration went fine.
Started playing around with it since this is the only machine that i have
7.2 on (my others are running 7.1) and ran into a few snags.

Firstly, Does the Mandrake 7.2 installation still have X3.36 for those of us
who still use older video cards that arent yet supported by X4 and is
mandrake going to continue to ship X3 with its next release (due in april or
so i read on this list) or are they going to just ship X4 and leave those

can then transfer over my network to another machine that has a cd burner on
it.

your netcard is not properly configured on Linux.
Are you using DHCP or fixed IP-s?
Do you have an other netcard in your linx box?
