I have two web browers of choice konqueror and Firefox. My problem is konqueror half work and firefox keep timing out. When im in my yahoo mail with konqueror and want to rely or forword a message the buttons will not activate.

Yes that is right Firefox just times out (Not connecting) and Konqueror has a problem with the reply and forward buttons all others seems to work fine. I will start a new post about the browser but originally I had problem with the DSL which led to these problem so I just thought I would ask here.

No it is not a lab top but I had to turn that acpi off (It has a hibernation button) . Yes I am sure that I typed the password and screen names corretly. I will try to upgrade to a updated verison and see if that works. Will I have to uninstall the current verison or will it overwrite?

It seem like my hotmail and gmail is working. I also found the in yahoo mail the delete, spam, and move buttons work just not reply and forward. I still cant get firefox to connect to anything

Ok using my DSL. I have two web browers of choice konqueror and Firefox my problem is this will konqueror half work and firefox keep timing out. When im in my yahoo mail and want to rely, forword,etc the buttons will not activate. It is like it is treating it as a picture or somthing. I would like to get both of these working.

Well the computer will not be set on a network at this time single user computer. The thmodem is from Quest and it is a DSL Modem with wireless Gateway by ActionTec. I would guess that since it is DSL the IP will be dynamic right?(I'm could be wrong). It will not be a wireless setup. I have the choice to use a USB or Ethernet connection so I choose Ethernet .

Ok I have Comcast cable and my Mandriva-Move is able to connect to the internet but I also have Quest DSL and it will not connect to the net. This wouldn't be a problem, but soon I will not have the cable connection only the DSL. I have only used linux for 2 day and I dont have a clue how to get the DSL to connect. If some one could give me a walk thru of what to do I would be highly thankful.

I setup my yahoo, msn, google talk and aol account in Kopete. When I put my password in it keeps tellling me that my password is wrong, but it is not and they all say the same thing so nothing will connect. I am using Mandriva-move and the Kopete version is 0.8.0 (Using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204). How can I fix this I have only been using linux for about 2 days now so I'm learning my way around please provide as much details as possible.

thanks for the info. All I have to do know if learn my way around the system

Thanks alot scarecrow acpi=off did the trick. So let me ask you want does it mean. I'm trying to gain as much knowledge possiible. I play around with this for a while to try to get the hang of things I dont think I saw a documentation page for move so can I just use one of the others.

Are there any BIOS settings to disable ACPI?

And notice that "acpi=off" should be typed without any spaces between the chars.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I will check my bios but I dont think their is. Also I might have typed it with a space so I'll try it without

Ok when I hit the f1 key and get the command line I used both

linux acpi=off nopcmcia

and

livecd acpi=off nopcmcia

but only the linux acpi = off nopcmcia was reconized. From what I can see during inialization I get to the point where it say's

"uncompressing Linux...ok, booting the kernel."

Then the screen flashes a few times and the computer reboots itself.

*note

When I tried other live cd my computer hanged at this spot. The cd would eventually stop spinning.

So Scarecrow should I still use sbm or boot straight from the cd then

Well I burned the smart boot manager but It didnt solve my problem (same results as stated above). Whats else should I try ?

No, being lazy is not an issue. I am new to this so I like to get it right with minium error. So I need to burn that zip file as an iso image is what you telling me right. Also, how exactly do you build such a file?

which one should I download from smart boot manager. Im not very fimiliar with it. Could you be more specific (maybe add some step by step list)

Ok I'm back I used the Deep Burner to burn my ISO image and my md5sum matches also. I got the same result as before (stated at beginning of post). So where do I go from here. I dont know what else to do.

Well I used that md5summer and also accuhash(I think I spelled it right ) and the md5sum matched. I will try that other burn program and see if that solves the problem. So I'll post a reply within the hour.

Well I'll list the steps I took so someone can help me. The problem is with the kernel image for some reason it's not on the iso cd or my computer is not reading it I dont know.

I wanted to download the "Mandriva Linux Move Download Edition ISO image for i586 and higher processors".

1.So I went to the ftp mirror link and downloaded from one of the locations.

2. I saved the download to my desktop.

3. Using CD burner xp pro 3 I went to file an seleted "write disk from ISO file" and selected the iso image from my desktop.

4. Once the cd burn had complete I resarted the computer with the cd in the drive. It start up but then it would resart the system. It is for some reason not loading the kernel. I have tried other distro and none work but hopefully someone can help me with this. I check the iso image on my desktop and the md5 matched up. I dont know if I need to verify the cd with the iso image on it also
