what games do you have, a lot of times you can download binaries to install them either from loki's website or from places like 3dgamers

I was having the same problems with ut2003 (non goty) also, then I had a crazy idea, why not try to install as root?
It is installing now.
This might not be a good idea for every one, but I install all my games to a seperate partition, so I don't think it can hurt anything, but I'm not sure.
Anyway.. for those who are as frustrated as I was it might be worth a try.

First off.. welcome to the board and to Mandrake. Hope you enjoy it
now for your questions....
1. there is a supported hardware list somewhere, but I can't think of the url atm..I would think that it would work no prob. MDK has pretty good hardware support.
2. see this link for help with the kernel upgrade: Installing the 2.6 Kernel, Using urpmi: the easy way
3. There is a topic here about upgrading KDE also, can't find the link though... You should try using the search button at the top of the page.
You could also solve 2 and 3 at the same time and install mdk10 beta2 instead of 9.2, It's still in testing but it has kde 3.2 and uses the 2.6* kernel.
Hope this helps and again welcome

I did this once and it work fine, then I hosed my system trying to install debian.
So, I reinstalled MDK and tried to upgrade the kernel again and now I can't boot to either the 2.4 or 2.6 kernels.
This is the message I get:
resume from /dev/hda11 Resume from /dev/hda11 kernel panic: Resume Machine: unable to find supsended-data signiture (-misspelled?
any ideas as to how I can fix this without reinstalling are appreciated thanks.

I don't know if there are any GUI frontends for tuxnes out there, and I got tired of typing in all the options I want and then the rom name everytime I wanted to launch a nes rom.
So I decided to write a script to do it all for me. It's adabtable to probably any other rom based emulator, I use it for:
snes9x
stella
boycotadvance
and it seems to work fine. You just need to change some file names.
I don't know if anyone would be able to use it, but I am going to post it anyway... (Mod's feel free to relocate this thread if it's in the wrong topic)
Suggestions are welcome

I say "G"IMP as in GUI, wouldn't be pronounced the same way as when you say someone is a gimp?

well the tnt2 doesn't have video out, but my radeon does, so maybe I will have to use that one instead. I thought that it would probably work with basic cable, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for letting me know.
Has anyone built a freevo box yet? Any particular problems?
-
I'm going to give this Freevo thing a run and see how it works out, but first anyone know how well it will work (or if it will work at all) with basic cable. Does it need satellite or digital cable to work?
I'm going to try to use a t-bird 1ghz with 1gb of pc133 and probably a Hauppage WinTV board, if I can get one. I also need to get a hd the only one I have spare is only 3gb, probably not enough.
It doesn't sound like it requires any particular graphics card, I've got a tnt2 that I'll try, might have to use my radeon though. Anyway... I'm going to give it a shot at least.

acme's pretty easy, it does volume on my HP multimedia keyboard very nicely.
ARGH! Die Mandrake Die!

first of let me say welcome to the board, second I too had this problem with mandrake 9.2 and my audigy 2.
the first thing you should probably do is to disable your onboard sound card in the bios. I don't think mandrake (or any other os for that matter) can support to sound devices.
second make sure that alsa is running as a service
Unfortunately, if that doesn't solve your problem then I'm not sure I can be of much more help, but someone her should be able to work it out.
