Sorry, wrong filename. It's win32-codecs And yes, your results above means that it added your plf urpmi source just fine, and what you posted earlier means you already have a contrib source set up which is good.

Have you run the winesetup utility? I think the command is just winesetup but if you type in wine and hit tab, you will get the right one from the list that's generated.

Do you have rpmdrake (Install Software in your menu) open? If so, that's why. If not, check in /var/lib/urpmi for some lock files (they may be hidden) and delete them, then try again.

That looks really nice man. /me may have to give this one a try

You will need to add a plf (and contrib) source to urpmi. Head over to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and add the sources. Once you have done that, type this command as root in a console: urpmi libdvdcss win32codecs Install any dependencies that it may require and your dvd's and other cd's should work.

Any of the UT/Unreal (with the exception, I think, of Unreal2) will work in Linux. All of the UT games have Linux installers. RtCW, as Ix said, has a Linux installer. You don't need a Windows partition if you have the GoTY edition. ET is a multiplayer game based on RtCW that's available for free. America's Army has a Linux Client There is a Linux version of Soldier of Fortune (the first one), but it's hard to find. Try eBay for that one. Plus there are a ton of other games (mostly older) that have Linux Clients, as well as some upcoming games (notably DoomIII). Check out http://www.tuxgames.com for a more complete listing of games available for Linux.

Editing out (or removing completely) those lines will definitely solve your resume problem. If the swapon command didn't error, it worked. Just for reference, here's my lilo.conf file # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map vga=794 default="linux" keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-rc3.1mdk label="262-0rc31" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-rc3.1mdk.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe devfs=nomount" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.2-3mdk-i686-up-4GB label=262i686up4G-3 root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=794 append=" devfs=mount splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.2-3mdk-i686-up-4GB.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk-i686-up-4GB label=263i686up4G-7 root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=794 append=" devfs=mount splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk-i686-up-4GB.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-2mdk-i686-up-4GB label=266i686up4G-2 root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=794 append=" devfs=mount splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.6-2mdk-i686-up-4GB.img Is this a laptop or a desktop? If it's a desktop, you don't need the resume= part for sure. Delete it, re-run lilo, and reboot. Everything should be fine.

Do you have the usb-storage module loaded? If not, your device won't be recognized properly. Try lsmod (as root) and see if it's loaded. If not, load it (modprobe usb-storage) and also put it in /etc/modules.preload and everything should work just fine.

Why do you have resume=/dev/hdg11 here instead of /dev/hde11? Also, did you re-run lilo after you made these changes? Just type lilo and hit enter. Also, why are you wanting to suspend anyway? This option has never worked correctly for me in Mandrake. Did you run the swapon command I gave you?

Is there an option in Konqueror (file browser mode) to preview images like it does by default in nautilus? I've searched, but I can't find the option. There is an option to preview images in the view menu, but it doesn't work for me. Can anyone help me out here? BTW, I'm running (as you can see in my signature) KDE 3.2.3-9mdk from cooker.

If you don't have the 2.4 kernel installed, su to root and urpmi kernel-2.4 will install the 2.4 kernel from the cd's, boot to that kernel (it will automatically put the entry in lilo) and try what tyme suggested; but again, that's only if you don't already have the kernel installed.

Gnome 2.6 is the default version of Gnome that's on the 10.0OE cd's. It's been that way since the CE release. In any case, you should be able to install it from your cd's by opening a console and su'ing to root, or by being root in the command line and typing: urpmi gnome-session That should give you Gnome 2.6 along with all of its dependencies.

Thanks for the suggestions, both of you, but neither of those worked for me. I ended up going back to the 9.2 ncurses files and now everything is working fine again.

Try the commands without unmounting the partition If that doesn't work, yes, /var can share a partition, however you have to back up and move the partition in order to fix your issue. Did you just create this partition? If you have to unmount it, try umount /dev/hdg9 instead of by name. It's possible that you have /var in 2 different places now.

First off, where is your swap actually mounted? In your lilo.conf file it's listed as /dev/hdg9, but in your fdisk -l it's /dev/hde11 Which is it actually? I'll assume /dev/hde11, and /dev/hdg9 was the old swap First, as root at the command line: swapoff /dev/hdg9 assuming that returns no errors, add this line to the bottom of your fstab: /dev/hde11 swap swap defaults 0 0 Then issue this command: swapon /dev/hde11 Change all occurrances of resume=/dev/hdg9 to resume=/dev/hde11 in your /etc/lilo.conf file. Re-run lilo (to make sure the changes are saved) and reboot. Everything should work just fine

No, you shouldn't. Try this: urpmi kernel-2.6

when you type linux expert, it just starts the installer in expert mode. It also does a bit more hardware probing (useful if you have a usb keyboard/mouse) so it's more likely to work.

When you get to that screen, try pressing F1 and typing linux expert and see if that makes a difference. Other than that, did you check the md5sums of the iso's before you burned them? What speed did you burn them at? Have you tried a lower speed? These are all things that might help you get Mandrake installed.

Do you have the video drivers installed? Did you have them installed before the resume incident?

If the modprobe worked, try the echo command I suggested and reboot with the adapter still plugged in. See if that changes anything. If that does boot up, but the internet doesn't work still; try this command as root in a console: ifup wlan0 And post any error messages that you get.

I think the command is linux noresume But you very well could be right Steve, I'm not sure.

The new Kernel rpms can be found on any update source for urpmi. You can also upgrade to the 2.6 kernel that's on your cd's if you want (it is recommended that you get the updated version) by opening a console, su to root, and type: urpmi kernel That should give you a list of kernels to choose from, all of which should be on your cd's.

There are several, though you may want to consider copyright law in your area before considering any of them. Limewire and gtk-gnutella are 2 of the better known ones, along with mldondey.

If it uses the prism2 driver, then once you log in (if you boot straight to the desktop) open a console, su to root (type su <enter> <enter root password and hit enter> ) and type modprobe prism2_usb If that works, it should put you right back to the command prompt with no error messages. Assuming this is the case, plug in your wireless adapter and go back into MCC -> Hardware and see if it recognized it correctly. If so, it should let you configure it for your wireless connection. Assuming this all worked, you will want to open a console and su to root again, then type: echo prism2_usb > /etc/modules.preload That way, when you reboot with the adapter plugged in, everything should work just fine. If you get any error messages, post them here so we can help you through them.

Moved to Hardware In 9.0 it's a bit different than it is in 10.0, but the idea is the same. Go to the Configure Your Computer option in you menu ( Menu -> Configuration) and go to the Hardware section. There will be an entry in there for resolution. You may have to log out and back in for it to display correctly.
