i'll be your isp, all you need to do is give me enough money so that i can buy a connection to the European backbone :D

nah that is libellous, however SCO have admitted to being leeches:

Our goal is not to blow up Linux. People ask why we don't go after the

distributors...'If you have such a strong case, why not shut down

Red Hat?' Our belief is that SCO has great opportunity in the future

to let Linux keep going, not to put it on its back but for us to get

a transaction fee every time it's sold. That's really our goal.

enjoy your songs :-)

very nice iphitus, thanks!

Which desktop environment are you using? (KDE/Gnome/other)

For gnome, cut and paste this into the nautilus address bar: preferences:///Advanced

Then double click on "file types and programs."

From there you can edit which program a file type opens with.

Expand audio and edit "MP3 audio"

then choose xmms and your default custom action.

I use gftp, however, nautilus works very well and i expect konqueror can do too.

Having ftp access in your filemanager is good as you can just copy and paste between your local computer and webserver.

i have an nforce2 using gentoo with 2.6.1, i think it says in my sig.

network works fine with the forcedeph drivers - in the config program i think

sound... well works nicely, with 5.1 channel audio... except.... about once in every song there will be a patch of horrible distortion somewhere, its really annoying.

Also alsamixer won't save settings... thats probably something i've broken though.

1) su to root

2) mkdir /mnt/windows

3) gedit /etc/fstab *or use an editor of your choice*

4) remove lines referring to hda1

5) add this line:"/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs noatime,ro,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0 0 0"

6) exit gedit or other editor

7) mount /mnt/windows

8) go into your filemanager as your normal user and see if you can access /mnt/windows

If that doesn't work, you must be missing the ntfs support from your kernel.

edit: btw, what ethernet card do you have?

i think doom3 is going to be released april/may time

I'd wait for that to see what specifications it requires.

something i've found: linux + ati = greying of hair.

i think your ati card might struggle a little bit with doom3 sadly, it should be able to cope with Unreal Tournament 2003 though i think, another fps, which is very graphically nice too.

Doom III looks to be an excellent game though, amazing graphics, immersive audio, in a word: frightening.

If you can get the green, i'd say try and upgrade your graphics card.

*depends on how fast your processor is too, i think doom3 will like a 2GHz processor minimum.

run this little thing as root: /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config

good luck!

when you're trying to burn in windows, does your software have the option to "burn image" or "burn image file?"

edit: you can download the windows xp powertoys from microsoft.com, and afaik, they come with an iso burner.

do urpmi gaim and give us the output here so we can have a look at it :)

i think there is a limit of 120GB on udma 100 interfaces...

hey, did you ever sort this out?

we might all learn something from your experiences :)

you could boot up with a live cd, mount the usb hard drive, then chroot to it.

(i think...)

put the cd in and restart, and try holding down c as the system comes on... it might work...

i have an nforce2 board, i can get all of it working in linux except for the agpgart, and thats most likely cause i have an evil radeon card.

The asus A7N8X is a very nice fast board with loads of features... i'd recommend it.

I have set up winbind to allow every user in AD to log on the linux computers, but I also want a centralized home directory so that kde and other user options are available independently of which linux computer the user logs on to. Is this possible?

Its certainly possible

if you want to do it via samba, you would have to somehow set it to mount /home/username via smbfs. The fstab line might look something like this

//servername/$homes /home/$user smbfs some,options,here x x

i think you might need to do a lot of reading to get it to work.

a better solution would be to do it using nfs i think with a separate linux server... depends on your funds really.

good luck!

ps, the docs on the samba page are quite useful imo

ati drivers are generally just bad. I have a 9700pro and just use it without any dri accleration at all.

Trying to get it to work properly is going to be a nightmare for you, irrespective of which distro you are using.

samba can't be an active directory server as of this moment (wait for 4.0 afaik), but it can do pretty much everything else, including be part of a domain with an active directory server.

i suggest you go to the samba homepage, they have the using samba book for download there, that should be a good place to look. O' Reilly sell it so it should be good :)

glad we could help :-)

i did it using the source tarball, all i had to do was make, make install.

i don't have an answer to your "actual" problem, i'm afraid :(

search for the model number on google, theres a good chance you'll find the info you need there. If not, just guess :) use one of the more "wide" settings.

Use this program to create the xf86config file: /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config

you may have to copy the file it creates to /etc/X11/ but you can do that i'm sure. :)

good luck, expect to run the config program many times!

i have a 9700, if you want i can paste my xf86config-4

its not at all optimised, i think i'm using the standard "vga" driver.
