I wonder how Nero linux performs compared to K3B? (which I love) I will have to do a comparison between to too, besides to more people who download it, perhaps more companies will take notice, etc....................

The demo is addictive. I haven't played it in a while. Pretty Violent though, keep the Kids away. I may have to start playing it again.

Try installing libpython2.4 it's probally on one of your discs.

I guess my only question is: Does core 3 destroy windows like core 2 does? ( I know, I know there is a way avoid and fix it)

If you are wanting a historically based game, look at Steel Panthers World at War. It's a world war 2 based game.You would have to use wine (or cedega) to run it and its a large download, but there are a lot of add-on senarios and maps available.

if there was no mandrake, I'd probally try that distro from seattle I keep hearing about.........Xp2k2 or PX98se or something like.... that or just keep mandy 10 for awhile, then whne I get rid of dial-up maybe debian or gentoo.

I think you can get a close copy/version in freecurve, which if memory serves, you can get from plf. Now its the icon set, as far as the background, who knows.

you know, I think its time for someone the release a "commerical" software player for dvds. If you can buy a dvd and it contains interplayer or whatever, thern why not something for linux?

sorry I couldn't resist, I know your love for gnome and lets just say a lest than favorable opinion on KDE. I guess I should try gnome again, but just haven't, yet...............

so when can we expect a KDE version?

What? :o NEVER? That's just sad

oh yeah, for the gnome thingy that I will probally never use ( but will get anyways ) I shouldn't have told you that

Here's a how to link : http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=10615

It seems that Fedora added a "feature" that prevents dual booting. Some people have had no problems, other have. There is a fix, but if you are try linux for the first time, try Mandrake. I have never had a problem dual booting with it.

I seems ok to me. The power supply is easy to swap out, if it becomes a problem. But for what he's doing, no problems.

For me, I heard some computer radio show mention linux, got curious had a friend download Red Hat 7.0. He diddn't burn the ISO's right sso I had 3 coasters. Went to Walmart aand Bought Mandrake 7.2. Installed it and........................................................

Haaad no cclue what to ddo at all. I did managee to install UT, but it raan very bad (what do you mean 3d drivers )

I kept on reading up on Linux, finally decided to givee it a another try last June with Mandrake 9.1, with much better results, thanks to this board.

try this and see if it works : cedega /mnt/cdrom2/SETUP.EXE

Also, just a reminder, Linux is case sensitive. I've made that mistake and had failures with wine/winex/cedega.

My group told me in their last email to deny that spam contains encoded messages................ and that I could get mis spelled software at rock bottom prices, if I bought "mlae enhancement" meds at the same time that is.

I get the same thing, it also happens to me in windows. Since I live in the country I just figured it was either the construction crew down the road or crappy phone lines. In windows, if it fails to connect, I have to reboot the try again, since I get a device in use error.

I have a US Robtics modem aand have had no problems connecting with linux, I have tried Mandrake, knoppix, SuSE and Red Hat. Have you installed kpp? (kdenetworkingkpp) and used it to connect?

I got it to work by adding this option : --dest so it looked like this :

genhdlist --dest /home/steve/rpms

ok I tried both of thosse and tried not being root all to no avail. I know its probally something I'm overlooking.

I was using this how to : http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=10600 to generaate a hdlist bbut ran into this:

su[steve@localhost steve]$ su

Password:

[root@localhost steve]# genhdlist /home/steve/rpms/

Directory path to parse should be relative at /usr/bin/genhdlist line 63.

[root@localhost steve]#

so I went to line 63 and it doesn't make sense to me :

line 63 : grep { m!^/! } @dir and die "Directory path to parse should be relative";

l

I should add I'm running mandy 10.

I was able to get both Madden 2k3 and Madden 2k4 ( both American football games, for those outside the US)to work, but you'll ned to use a no cd crack. Also all the helmets were black in 2k4, but I haven't tried any tweaaking on it yet.

Also Red Faction works pretty well, Red Faction 2 wont install.

I think next I'm going to install some of my daughters games just to see if they work ( she has a few that lock up in windows so they will be first)

very nice. thanks anna

Ok, so I just need to make ISO's with mkisofs, then proceed. Thanks Tyme

will this method work if you dont have the iso images? I have the powerpack edtion discs but no isos.
