I would like to connect my laptop with mandriva 10.1 to my wireless router 802.11g. I can do it for Windows with my Hercules wireless G PCMCIA card (model HWGPCMCIA-54). But it does not work with mandriva. Could any one communicate me the references of cards working well with mandriva 10.1 ? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to use a USB storage key to storage and transfert files between windows and mandriva ? Up to now I have used this USB storage of 256 Mo with Windows only. I would like to use it also with linux. I can see in linux /dev/sda but It requires to format it and to mount it. If I do so, can I still use my USB storage with Windows ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

With outlook of Windows XP making a copyng of the files in the folder : Documents and Settings/User/.../local settings/.../outlook a backup can be done. With Mozilla Mail which is (are) the folder(s) or file(s) to copy in order to make a backup and a restauration if necessary ? Thanks in advance.

You can do it also very easily with Mandrake Control Center. Go to System -> Manual configuration, etc. Bye

With Mandrake Control Center it is very easy to do it. Bye

With MCC you can select also particular folders. Go to System -> Backup -> Manual configuration -> What -> Other. Then choose your folder. Bye

I found the solution which is : - To change the dossier where the temporary backup on disk is to be done. - As I had 9 Gb free in /home, I created a dossier /home/var/lib/drakbackup/ (logged in as root) - Then I changed the dossier as in the image herein attached. Bye.

I want to do a bakup of my system but the allocated space on disk is of 1 Gb only. I need 1.7 Gb. How can I increase it ? Thanks in advance.

I can help with translations English <-> French, English <-> Spanish and Spanish <-> French, please add me in the lists. Thanks in advance.

I recommend you to install a ethernet board in your computer. Ethernet connexions are better than USB. Otherwise go to the MCC (Mandrake Control Center) and look into Network and Internet section if everything is alright. Bye

I have an old Compaq Presario 9520. I am traying to install mandrakelinux 10.1 on it. The boot disket with the kernel 2.6 can not be used for the installation. I had to create a boot disket with the kernet 2.4 to be able to install it. Now my problem is that the capacity of my hard disk is too small (4.9 Gb) to install the minimun I would like to have. I am therefore going to change the hard disk. Could someone tell me which was the latest mandrakelinux version using the kernel 2.4 ? Thanks in advance.

Even if the folders are shared, the acces has to be granted too. Verify this point. This may be the reason. Bye.

It seems to be a problem of acces permissions on the 2003 server. Even if the folders are shared, it is necessary to declare who can acces to them. Verify this point. This may be the reason. Bye

You can consult the list of compatible modems in this link : http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/hardware.php3 Bye

I have installed Totem. It works well. The problem has been solved.

The box you preconise is considered as compatible for madrakelinux. You can see this in this link : http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/hardware.php3 Bye

I would like to make a back up of the MBR, just in case for security. I login as root. I format the disket with the command mformat a: After, I do the command : dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1 The systems responds : dd: ouverture de `/dev/fd0/mbr.bin': Not a directory I then execute the command : ls -l /dev/hda the system responds : brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 mai 5 09:32 /dev/hda It seems it does not exist. What should I do ? Thanks in advance for your help. [moved from Security by spinynorman]

My brother gave me an Imation DVD+RW 4x 4.7Gb - 120min containing two films. Does any one know a software allowing me to read them ? I have a DVD RW driver LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B in my linuxbox. Thanks in advace for your answers.

You can also get this information if you use KDE. Go to System -> System monitoring -> disk free. You may also have the icon on the bottom of your screen (sort of toolsbar) composed of three cercles (blue, red and green). Bye

To verify the compatibility of your hardware I recommend you to look at this link : http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/hardware.php3 I recommend you to buy the PowerPack+ (version 10.1 Expert) if you want to save time installing Mandrakelinux. It's well documented and you have 1 DVD and CD's for the installation. To install it with all options (servers...) you require 3 Gb and 64 Mb of RAM. Bye
