"How do you edit the lilo.conf file? Is it through the konsole or something because i can't seem to save it because of permissions and can't chnage the permissions. " If you don't love the command line, do this: click the KDE icon in lower left corner,all apllications,applications, file tools,file manager - super user mode (password) browse from there.

Note that you are missing the last line of: other=/dev/hdb1 label="win" table=/dev/hdb map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80 Might be the answer :wink:
-
Yes, looks like the right stuff. Thanks. :)

pgp keyring? I'm a noobie! Where would the HOWTO be for pgp?
-
And checksig says it is NOT ok; missing keys. What gives?
-
I had a hard time finding this update; is there a reason I could not find it on main?

Installed RealPlayer8-8.0.3-5tex, then mozplugger-1.1.1-3mdk; everything works. Got the advice from http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~wentsern/index.html some members of this list could benefit from reading the HOWTO.

Achtung! To anyone who dares try Gabbman's tweak: I followed his instructions exactly, and on the next reboot saw the following: The following installation problem was detected while trying to start KDE: No write access to $HOME directory (/) KDE is unable to start. and it sure was. I rebooted in "nonfb", undid his instructions in reverse order and rebooted OK. Gabbman, if you are, as I suspect, a Canadian, leave the sloppy thinking to our southern neighbours. They are the masters of it.

It only launches for that site. When I right-click on a source at http://www.cbc.ca/audio.html The "open-with" menu has no listing for realplayer audio, only video.
-
The small window contains the name of the source. RealPlayer does not launch, so what is missing is sound. Never tried video streams, as my connection is way too slow.

A lot of twiddling, and still all I get is a small window showing name of the radio station. I'm using RealPlayer-8.0-5mdk.i586.rpm What happens when I click on a link is the small window mentioned above. At http://service.real.com/test/ the sound is perfect. And when I try View/Preferences/Transport/Automatically select best transport/auto-configure it says: could not connect. Anyone?
-
Has anyone got Realplayer working? I've just uninstalled it again, have had no success. Help?
-
This morning, while waiting on a download, I was looking through some files and idly clicked File>Print. It printed! WTF, eh?
-
In mcc there is only a choice of CUPS or LPRng. Tried both, no joy.
-
Has anyone ever got the z35 to work? I'm using mdk 9.1. It will print a test page, but no text. Ran (as root) checkpc, and got no errors. Ran out of things to try. Help? :roll:
-
Yes! I have sound now. Thanks
-
It works! Thanks to all. Another step on the learning curve, next is to try to get sound from this machine. (I have sb llive and also onboard sound )

Here is where I've got to so far: Created a mountpoint, and when I click on /mnt/windows I see a file named tmp, which has the keyhole. Useless. But as superuser, it shows the contents of hdb. Yay Here is what I see in /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 Tried putting icon on desktop, but it only shows "tmp" when clicked, so no good. I'm guessing that this might be something to do with Permissions, or Ownership; in Properties for windows I see Permissions has User checked for all three "Show Entries" "Write Entries" and "Enter", while only "Show Entries" is checked for Group and Others. Ownership is User:root , Group:root. So my question now is: Is it possible to put a windows icon on the desktop that needs only be clicked to show the contents of windows?
-
4. click the tab for you second drive, (porbably hdb) and use the tools there to select the mount point. Erm, I have little understanding of what a mount point is, and dare not experiment with that page. Could you explain what to do at greater length?

I installed mdk 9.1 with the second drive unplugged, then made the linux drive hda and wrote the boot code into /etc/lilo.config It works well, can boot into windows98, but I'd like to see into it. Its not listed in /etc/fstab. How can I get mdk to see it, and then put an icon on the desktop to open it? Beware, very newby :?
-
It Works! Did a chmod and that was all it required. Thanks Steve, greatly appreciated! My browser (Opera) no longer launches, but maybe a re-install(?).
-
In /home/william/ directory when I ls -l I get: -rw------- 1 501 william 0 May26 10:05 .ICEauthority (I'm getting that sinking feeling that it might be time for a format and re-install)
-
Tried rename to /home/me/.ICEauthority.bak , this had no result. Wonder if its possible to (first reverse the rename) and undo the cp /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver3 Is there a way of finding if this file still exists?
-
Did that - cannot see any difference; still hangs. :(
-
Thanks all. I get it now. HOWEVER it seems that there was an error somewhere, even though IIRC I copied and pasted from mdk website. See my help request at http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?p=39545
