Currently I have 3 machines, and will update to the releases I have just bought.  Does licensing work the same way for these editions, eg: one copy per machine.  I'm thinking about when I want to install on more machines you see.

You may find the answer in the Mandriva Legal FAQ. :unsure:

Do you know where I can obtain user knowledge in using Konsole

If you installed the documentation, you should find it in the menu system: in 10.0 it's under Other Applications - Documentation - Mandrakelinux documentation in English. Select the Command Line Manual. If it's not installed, you can also find it at www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/fdoc.php3. :)

I think you need sudo. There's a brief description here.

You may have it installed already. You should be careful which commands you use with it, as you can create a security loophole. :o

The creators of LugRadio, a fortnightly radio programme that takes an irreverent look at Linux and open source, are holding a Linux community event this summer in Wolverhampton. It is aimed at open source fans, rather than corporate IT buyers, and the emphasis is very much on fun, rather than sales pitches.

Welcome to the board, Simplicity. :)

I have merged your two threads to avoid confusion.

There is a patch available to fix the escputil

problem, but it is for 4.2.6 and I have 4.2.5. I also have no idea what

to do with the "patch" LOL.

Use 'man patch' to find out about the patch command. If you use the verbose parameter, you will see what's going on. You also have the option to create a backup in case something goes wrong.

If it works, it should fix escputil and mtink. B)

For ink levels, I use mtink, which is under Configuration - Printing. There are some notes at www.linuxprinting.org about escputil and the C84.

Can't help you with the usb/parallel port problem - I'm not a techie, just work things out by trial and error... :)

My C62 works well - after I realised the man from the shop had plugged it into the RJ-45 socket...

Go into MCC, select Hardware, then HardDrake - most of your hardware will be displayed. If your printer is not showing, press the Options button at the bottom and select Autodetect printers. Quit HardDrake, then open it again, and the printer should now be there. Click on the printer name to show the details, including the port.

Mine's dev/usb/lp0... :)

kristi - I suggest you wait a couple of days for a response to an initial post. If you get no replies, just post briefly to get back to the top of the pile. Please don't delete the first post in a thread, unless you want the thread deleted - in which case you should leave a note to that effect. :)

kristi - do you have a problem you would like to share with the rest of us..? :unsure:

I'm posting this in softtware, for those who are thinking about installing 2005, and wonder about the quality of new sotware involved.

Everything Linux is more appropriate for a review... :)

I can help with translations English <-> French,  English <-> Spanish and Spanish <-> French, please add me in the lists.

I have removed your duplicate post as it causes confusion...

There's a user guide at www.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/index. :)

Welcome to the board. :)

I have removed your duplicate posts as they cause confusion...

I dunno why they chose to go with SuSe though, but I suspect Novell fought hard for that deal. They should've been patriotic and gone with Ubuntu

Ubuntu are based in the Isle of Man, a well known tax haven... :P

oops...Was looking through the posts and found my old post on this topic: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=23909 . Looked for it before and didn't see it...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I've closed your previous thread and linked it to this one. ;)

See new thread here.

lostlinux - I have merged your 2 threads as they are related.

As far as your modem is concerned, www.linmodems.org is a good starting point. If/when you get stuck, just post again in this thread and hopefully someone will be able to help you. :)

This a question for the VMWare forums.

Here we deal with free software.

Don't chase away our customers, scarecrow - we do deal with VMWare emulation here. ;)

Thanks for reporting back.
