I used urpmi and got xorg installed, it has the mouse error, so no scrolling. When I did an update using the install CD1, the error now was "Your Xorg configuration file is broken, we will ignore it." Anyway, it works well enough so that it I'm using now in Konqueror, can't install Opera due missing libstdc* Fix that later. Thanks for the help

The problem is that xorg isn't installed, as the error appears during install. There is only a choice of proceeding with install or cancelling. My video card is a Geforce2 mx/mx400.

I downloaded the free 2006 install disk, and found that xorg gives an error on install, so no gui. Downloaded some xorg-x11-blah rpms from SeerofSouls website that should fix this problem by installing later, but they require depencencies such as: libxorg-x11 = 6.9.0 X11-libs = 6.9.0 libXau.so.6 libXdmc0.so.6 Is there a downloadable xorg made for mandriva 2006 that would fit without driving me crazy with dependancy issues? Or anyway of solving this problelm? BTW I'm on dialup. The xorg I downloaded is: http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xorg-x11-...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xscavenge...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xscreensa...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xscreensa...06.SoS.i586.rpm http://seerofsouls.com/RPMS-2006/xscreensa...06.SoS.i586.rpm

Somewhere in KDE control centre there is "keyboard layout". Might that be what you are looking for?

Chmod a+x means: change permissions for all users (a) and add (+) making it executable (x). AFAIK the java install instructions always require that command, so it has nothing to do with anything else.

Opera. Used it for years.

And solitaire is good, but hearts is better.

Face it, we are the l33t. It will be many moons before linux rules the roost, but it might happen.

It's the easiest for me, just haven't looked for another ripper/burner.

Maybe Paul can do better, but here's an example of how to do it. http://www.insyte.uni.cc/ Most of this should work with mdk.

Lilo has been rock-solid reliable. When I first tried Linux (Lycoris) I had too may troubles with the mysterious kernel panics. Knew then even less than now, never learned what to do about it. Grub is for those who know how to fix it. :P

Be sure to defragment windows before installing linux on that drive. I've used both lilo and grub; never had a problem with lilo, but for most it seems a matter of taste. For the rest, I have no experience.

The latest is lxdvdrip-1.42-pre2.tgz It works perfectly, got it from the berlios home site.

Update on lxdvdrip; it wasn't working with NTSC dvds, that's fixed with the latest version.
