I see that you are using 10.0.

 

I've just read a few other posts about 10.1. Is it true that 10.0 is somewhat less buggy?

I haven't had any major problem since getting my speedtouch to work, but I don't really try to do anything clever. Also I don't want to spend all my time tinkering, so I tend to install every second release only. :)

PS Would you know where I may be able to post it as a possible bug?

Use my Bugzilla link below. :)

It may not solve your problems, but you omitted --replacefiles when you retyped the parameters... :)

I'm not using mdk or KDE...

In which case I'll move it to Other Linux Distro's... :)

One of the reasons you have had problems is because the Easy-Urpmi site is for the Mandrake Distro.

Your running Red Hat so some of the files you need  will probably not be available from Easy -Urpmi or may not be compatable.

 

Am moving this topic to the "Other Linux Distro's" forum.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Uhm I not running Red Hat. Mandrake has been the only linux distro on my PC.

In which case I'll move it back again...

I am not getting email notifications in my inbox when new topics are posted here, but I see there is a "view new posts" so I will to try that.

Have you used the 'Track this Topic' feature on your first post in the thread? :unsure:

Sorry, you were referring to topics not posts in this thread - you can subscribe to individual forums, but not the whole board. B)

Kerneltrap.org has an interview with Timothy Miller of Tech Source Inc, who initiated this project to produce an Open Source Friendly Graphics Card.

The Open Graphics Project is a collaboration between the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Community and Tech Source Inc. to develop new 3D graphics products that are compatible with Free Software, both philosophically and practically. The project is currently designing an "open source friendly graphics card" which will offer quality 3D and 2D acceleration with an impressive feature set at an affordable price, aiming for availability as early as June of 2005. Though the project was only started in October of 2004, it has already released the card's specifications, a design document, and a software model for early testing and driver development. In this interview, Timothy provides a wealth of information about the project and its current status, highlights contributions needed from the free and open source community, and fully describes the specific capabilities of the card.

Would you pay around 200 dollars for such a card? :unsure:

Enjoy a debugging party this week, with the first Beta release of Mandrakelinux 10.2... As usual, the more bugs you will report, the better the final version will be. Please also keep in mind that it's very helpful for Mandrakelinux to get bug reports, but it's really a plus to suggest a fix along with the report! Discover part of new 10.2 features, download and debug from the beta page.

Linus Torvalds once led a ragtag band of software geeks. Not anymore. Business Week takes an inside look at how the unusual Linux business model increasingly threatens Microsoft.

Go to Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - General. Under Document status, uncheck 'Printing sets "document modified" status'. B)

errgh, spinynorman: hardly the best post to use to promote podcasting.

 

besides didnt I say above that I had posted? who would ever think to read the thread and consider using the search function....

I read your post at the time. This just seemed more interesting...

What's a Podcast, may I ask?

Read about the fathers of podcasting.

1. How long does redhat support their releases for.

According to www.redhat.com, they have a 12-18 month release cycle and seven years of support for every version.

2. If anyone has anylinks on total cost of ownership. a non biased review of how much linux will cost for a business would be great.

Linux provider Cybersource has recently updated its two-year-old study comparing TCO when using Microsoft's products against open-source solutions. Silicon.com claims that they have bent over backwards to be fair to Microsoft, by ignoring the costs of dealing with viruses and any costs associated with downtime resulting from reboots and crashes; and tripling the budget for external Linux consultants because one of Microsoft's arguments is that open source requires an "increased reliance" on them. The report is here.

You can compare it with an 'independent' report on microsoft.com. B)

You can use the Bugzilla link in my signature. :)

Welcome to the board. :)

Hopefully someone will be along to help you shortly. If you don't get a response within a day or two, just post briefly in this thread to get back to the top of the heap.

Please be patient and don't post duplicates - they cause confusion and are unnecessary - most people use the View New Posts facility. I've deleted all the ones I could find. :P

By the way for the future Am I able to do it myself if by mistake I'll post message from wrong location?

Only mods and admins can move or delete posts. You can pm one of us, or just delete the text in the unwanted post and mark it 'mod - please delete' or something similar.... ;)

Welcome to the board. :)

I have removed your duplicate post in the Laptops forum as it can cause confusion.

... and there's a full list of Live CDs here. B)

Is there a "gamer's" live CD out there?

PCLinuxOnline recently had an item on Games Knoppix. :mellow:

I've updated the urpmi FAQ to include it. ;)
