I run Mandrake 9.1 fine on my trusty 300mhz box! It runs like a dream compared to WIndex. GNOME runs reasonably well, KDE a little slower but I use Fluxbox. Also it'd fit on a 2gb hdd no problem. I have all of Mandrake on a 2gb partition. Except /home. But i could fit it on / /dev/hda6 2.0G Used: 892M Free:1.1G 46% / ram, a little low. I have 160mb. you should probably have a reasonable swap. That computer would be fine so long as you aren't going to need over 700mb for /home data. Go for it!! What do you have to lose!! James

I just reccomended this game to someone here yesterday!! Looks good........ wish i could pay it............. Anyone wanna donate a good computer....... just gimme an email........... lol James

I just had that problem 30 seconds ago. I installed xfree86-devel as tyme said and it works fine now. James

Screw that, use the oppurtunity to blame Microsoft! I blame them for the flu I caught this weekend, Well done!! It's their fault i burnt my finger on an overheated 22ohm resistor in science class today!!!

Thanks i've got it going now!!! james

oh bugger. when i visit the second site it's down!! Internal Application Error Catastrophic failure /listing

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3 That's the Mandrake compatibility database. Oh god!! I just am praying the wireless card i get with my school laptop next year is compatible!!!! **GULP** If it isn't!!! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Oh well, too early to worry now. If it doesn't work now it might in kernel 2.6. Welcome Nightwriter!! We got another James here too now! James

Hi I'm about to sometime start a very very simple Mplayer frontend. Not related to static's idea. I'm considering using Kylix (C++) or if i can't get kylix going i'm going to use Python/Tkinter. However i can't even compile a simple project, absolutely nothing done at all, in Kylix. I get a problem with this line in time.h typedef __clock_t clock_t; And a huge list of errors The errors and time.h are below. I' ve updated Kylix but that didn't fix it. This happens when I compile a new clean project and it also happened when i was going through the Kylix C++ Text Editor tutorial. I have kylix installed to /home/james/programs/kylix/ Sorry about the long post!!!

Have you tried my suggesion, restarting X when it This has been a pretty common problem with mandrake 9.1 and restarting X has always worked for me. Just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

So it's obviously got something to do with metabox, gnomes window manager. I don't know how to fix it but you can use sawfish instead of metabox. Or you can try a whole new look. Fluxbox :D

How can i turn it off in mandy? my disk real estate is erm tiny. 2gb for my home directory, half already used and that's where they are always dumped. James

That's the great thing about linux........... The other OS would grind to a halt. And it eventually does no matter what the hardware............

As a rule if i can't find xyz123.so or a specific rpm o go to RPM seek. www.rpmseek.com You can do a search "packages containing file" or "what provides" then "libX11.so" in the box then click search. SIMPLE!

I'm pretty sure there is an update which fixes this. Maybe get tyme's update ISO, or get it through mandrake update. The alternative is to use GTK based apps :D James

I know someone that thought linux was a desktop theme for Windex

There is a mandy Firebird Glendale 0.6 RPM. It's on texstar. You can get it here ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribut...6-3tex.i586.rpm

One site can help a helluva lot for this sort of thing. www.rpmseek.com Search for package provides or inlcudes file: libabc123.so and it'll give you a list of packages you can download RPM Seek is the first place I go when i want to find an RPM because of it's large database and excellent search facility. James

Thankyou!

Soulse Try this add this line into a page <iframe src="hehehe.html" width="1" height="1" /> And make a document hehehe.html <html> <body> <input type crash> </body> </html> And you won't have to worry about IE anymore. And i mean any version from 3.0. You could say, browser detection, the easy, evil and fun way! If you use a Javascript on another page to set IE's homepage to hehehe.html you would cause great annoyance to any affected IE users. Even a hate of M$ :D Anyway, IE has to be the worst browser!! It doesn't even have tabs!!! no popup stoppers!!! no themes!!! not open source!!! made by microsoft!!! not linux comptible!!! I could go on forever James

hey we have a new Australian on the board! I'm not alone! :o :D Welcome aussiedini James

What? and i just got 0.65!!!! :P :roll: :wink: :lol: :x :shock: :( I dunno whether to be happy or annoyed

Il ike the new one. The old one was soooooooo slow, It took over 30 secs to open. It was even faster running the windows one through Wine because Windows had the quick load thing that'd go in the taskbar. Anyway the new OOo is so much faster. I no longer am able to start it, get a coffee and return when it opens. OOo 1.1rc receeives the rcxau's prestigious 5 thumbs up! The best free office suite on linux James

Oh and dhcpd is the dhcp server, i was talking about the client, Or did you mean the client dhcpcd? (the difference is the 'c' in the client one) Sorry to double post James
