I think it depends on the distro. Mandrake and Suse (European companies) don't have it. Gentoo (which mystified uses) does. There are more, I'm sure. This is quite interesting, though.

Calm Down, you're not being hacked... Those files are a normal part of Mandeake (probably all versions of Linux). I believe the dcop ones are KDE related, but they might not be.

What are you trying to share it through? Samba? NFS? NFS is easy, you can set it up through Webmin; but it's Linux to Linux only AFAIK. Samba is harder, but still really easy. I'll assume Mandrake for this: Edit (as root) /etc/samba/smb.conf with your favorite editor. Near the bottom you will see a [myshare] entry. Set it up like this: [myshare] comment = <some comment about the share> path = /path/to/share valid users = <users here> public = <no or yes> writable = <no or yes> printable = <no or yes> create mask = 0765 The mask can be different (666 for read/write for all, 777 for read/write/execute for all, etc) Save that file, then in a console su to root and type: smbpasswd -a USER Where USER is your XP user id (Win2k will not have to do this unless you're using an account other than the Administrator account). You will be prompted for a password for this user. Use your Windows password to make things easier. After that, still in your root console, type: service smb restart At that point you should be all set. For more info, see the Samba FAQ here: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16737

Another thing I found today, not sure if this is a cooker thing or not, though: Add a contrib and plf urpmi source. Open a console, su to root and type: urpmi bootsplash-plf bootsplash-themes bootsplashchooser Once those are installed, go to MCC > Boot > Boot Themes. You will now have a list of boot themes to choose from!

1) Yes. There is a way to do this. It's actually in the Konqueror preferences if I remember correctly. I will have to look when I get home. I have done this, though. 2) I honestly don't know.

Edit your nautilus shortcut to be: nautilus --no-desktop That will force nautilus not to draw the desktop. Much nicer that way.

The only thing I can see that might be out of spec for Doom3 is the video card. id recommends a 64 MB Geforce (2 or better, I think) or a 64MB Radeon. That said, it does run on my laptop that has a 32MB GeForce 4Go.

That's not actually correct. There are 2 installers for Unreal Tournament. The first is for the standard edition of Unreal Tournament which is version 400 The second is for the Game of The Year edition which is version 432. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I knew you'd chip in here :lol: According to this site there is a 436 installer for both normal UT and the goty edition. I couldn't find either edition of the installer you mentioned, though. I know they exist, but I can't find them on 3dgamers.

ext3 does not have to be primary, I don't think. If you have more than 256MB RAM you don't have to have a swap partition, but it's a good idea. Make it at least the same size as your RAM.

Yes you can. Check out our urpmi FAQ for more information on urpmi and what it can do.

Search google for a free partition manager. I don't know of one off the top of my head, but I know they exist.

10gb would be plenty for what you want to do. fdisk will not work, unless you want to lose all of your data. Use something like Partition Magic (7 or higher) to create your partition.

club-internet has a plf mirror. It's in the list. This board does as well, actually. As for Thursday night/Friday morning...not sure. Updates to most of the servers happen on a nightly basis. You might have tried in the middle of an update.

Mandrake will create it's own partition(s). It would be better if you created a partition beforehand that was blank. That way you wouldn't have to worry about losing data when you resize the partitions.

Since you have the sources already added (I assume you added main, contrib, plf, and update sources to do this update, right? ), open up a console, su to root and type the following: urpmi.update -a That will download new hdlists, if any are available. Once that is done, type this: urpmi --auto-select That will give you the packages that are available to upgrade to current versions. Verify the list, and press Y <enter> to start the install. Depending on how many updates there are, and the speed of your internet connection, it could take some time. Taht will install everything EXCEPT the kernel. You have to do that separately (urpmi kernel). IF you don't have one of the sources for 10.0OE that I listed above, head to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and add them.

Did you use the goty installer or the other one? There are 2 different installers (both 432 and 436 versions) for UT. Make sure you get the one that matches your version of the game and you should be fine.

Why is the Print server always on the net? Just curious. Also, if you're using a Linux distro to do print sharing, I think you have to enable samba sharing. I'm trying to figure out how to install my printer on my laptop (the XP side) when it's connected to my desktop (mdk 10.1). It sees the printer, but won't find the drivers for it.

Yes, we did as a matter of fact; and the users that got pm's from me know why. KDE and Gnome are on the same line to allow me to put another option there. You are only allowed 5 options in a poll...that's it. KDE and Gnome are the 2 most commonly used DE's. I'm not grouping them together because they are similar, just due to the fact that they are used by the majority, and I wanted to have another definitive option there. Some people may not like the fact that I grouped them...tough. I have my reasons.

Oh nice, so we can already play Doom 3! http://www.linux-militia.net/howtos/doom3/doom3.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw that too... I'll wait for the binaries

You need to install the FontSelector sensor... And unless that's where you unzipped the display file, that's not the right path.

The expansion card is a usb2 card. It worked here before. As I said earlier, though; the drive is not plugged in now. When it is plugged in, the usb-storage module is loaded correctly.

the correct syntax is: gdesklets /path/to/nameof.display You need to have the full path to the display file for it to work properly

Oh well... I was gonna buy the game, or better, the linux version of the game to show support so other companies will take linux into account too, but with this approach of buying a window$ version of the game and then downloading the linux installer off the web Im better off saving my money and just downloading the installer, they wont be able to know wheter i really bought the game or not and my download will count me as a 'linux gamer' anyway, so whats the point on spending the money now? I dont really like that kind of games anyway, as i said, i just wanted to show linux support, i dont want to buy no window$ version no way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not exactly a good attitude towards gaming, Linux or not. If you want, wait till tuxgames has their bundle and buy it then. As an additional note, very few games that run in Linux actually come with the Linux installer on the disk. I can think of 3 off the top of my head. Most of them you will have to download an installer and/or copy files from a Windows installation. It's not that big of a deal. At least game manufacturers like Epic (UT) and id (Doom) are supporting Linux and providing installers. Most companies won't even do that...
