  5. How do I recompile the Kernel?

    Sorry dont use wireless but

     

    First stop is Google:

     

    http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=&q=+I...G=Google+Search

     

    This one seems interesting:

    Wireless

     

    Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

    I was not able to make it work yet but the driver for linux if available from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ but is still in a very early development phase.

     

    Other solution is to install ndiswrapper and then grab the windows drivers from the Windows XP hard disk/Sony installation CD or random place on the web found by google. Follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper-0.2/README. Use iwconfig to sniff out wireless hot-spots and ifup wlan0 to bring up the wireless interface.

     

    That seems to be for a Laptop. Is that what you have? You noted pci so Im quessing Desktop.

  7. How do I recompile the Kernel?

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted

    First did you set up your repositories yet? Did you set it up via easy urpmi?

     

    If you install all the need repos when you install the kernel-source it will automatically install all need dependencies.

     

    How to add software

    http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=17480

     

     

    Now the link to easy urpmi is wrong this is the new one:

    http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

     

    Next question:

     

    Why?

     

    kernel rolling is a little advanced and usually only needed to accomplish a specific problem.

  9. How does Mandrake compare to Suse?

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    I have used both - Like both. As once said to me "fast, Pick a Distro"

     

    Meaning there is not much difference between botjh. But some notables:

     

    Mandrake is more bleeding edge so your packages will be more advanced but at a cost of possible instability.

     

    YAST and MCC are very common in there functions but YAST has been around a bit more.

     

    Mandrake seems to have more 3rd party repositories / outlets.

  10. Suggest a distro!

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    I have an old AMD K6-3/400mhx puter.

     

    I have found that the "live-cd" distro's seem to run much quicker. I figure due to less bloat installed due to space limitations. That being said:

     

    I just installed Mepis and it runs very fast :cheesy: (for a 400mhz)

     

    I tried Mandy 10 / SuSE 9.1 and they ran but very slow at times. You may want to stay away from KDE or GNOME with that puter. I am a XFce4 lover myself. And Mepis has the links on its forums to install 4.2 beta! Man it just rocks :headbang:

  15. gentoo/arch network install problem

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted · Edited by ac_dispatcher

    Odd I wonder if your net is up at all.

     

    As Root what does

     

    #ifconfig

     

    come out with?

     

    Also in Gentoo you may want to check your resolv.conf. When you installed gentoo and booted to the cd did it have internet? Did you copy the resolf.conf

     

    Also do you need to set a proxy?

     

    From Gentoo Docs

    Optional: Configure Proxy

     

    If you access the Internet through a proxy, you might need to setup proxy information during the installation. It is very easy to define a proxy: you just need to define a variable which contains the proxy server information.

     

    In most cases, you can just define the variables using the server hostname. As an example, we assume the proxy is called proxy.gentoo.org and the port is 8080.

     

    Code Listing 1: Defining proxy servers

     

    (If the proxy filters HTTP traffic)

    # export http_proxy="http://proxy.gentoo.org:8080"

    (If the proxy filters FTP traffic)

    # export ftp_proxy="ftp://proxy.gentoo.org:8080"

    (If the proxy filters RSYNC traffic)

    # export RSYNC_PROXY="proxy.gentoo.org:8080"

     

    If your proxy requires a username and password, you should use the following syntax for the variable:

     

    Code Listing 2: Adding username/password to the proxy variable

     

    http://username:password@server

     

    For instance, for HTTP proxying with our previous proxy server and a username of "john" with a password of "f00b_r" one would use:

     

    Code Listing 3: Authenticated Proxy

     

    # export http_proxy="http://john:f00b_r@proxy.gentoo.org:8080"

     

    During install did you

     

    # nano -w /etc/conf.d/net

    and then

    # rc-update add net.eth0 default

     

    Does you network card module need to be loaded at boot? Is it?

  22. Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Community)

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    Well I downloaded it. Installed fine on my Laptop. Tried it on my AMD K63/400 256mb with no luck.

     

    When it would reboot and I would select "linux" from lilo it would say something like Bios Check Successful and reboot my computer.

     

    So I thought it was my computer. Installed:

     

    Mandrake 9.2 - worked

    Mandrake CE - didnt even boot to the cd

    Suse 9.1 - worked

    PCLinuxOS - worked

    Mandrake 10 cooker (Jan eddition) worked

     

    So I think its Mandrke 10.1 not my computer. It worked on my Laptop but not my homebuilt computer. Oh well Ill try the next release.

  24. Being Frustated on network Mandrake PC

    May want to tell use how you have your network setup. Do you have a hub? if so where? Im guessing your setup is llike:

     

                              INTERNET

                                  |

                                  |

                        PC2 : winXP Pro

                                  |

                                  |

                  -----------HUB-----------------

                  |                                      |

      PC1 : win2K server              PC3 : MDK10

     

    Is that your setup?

     

    As for webmin :

     

    Are your sure its running?

    as root:

    #/etc/init.d/webmin start

     

    Try it to your direct address. From your other post it would be:

     

    https://192.168.0.150:10000

     

    As to not being able to ping the MDK machine are you trying to ping the name of the machine or ip address? Teh ping problem may be due to the hadware setup of your system Thats whay Im asking the setup config.
