I think they all will work. I have a 40 GB USB Maxtor plugged into a USB2 port that works great. Not sure about any firewire types tho.

I believe the standard file formats would be MPEG 1/2, MPEG4 (divX), or AVI. I also haven't much luck with video projects. I would first suggest trying mencoder with its gui of Gmencoder to rip and encode stuff and also read up on things at http://www.dvdrhelp.com/ Unfortunately they don't seem to know about LInux there, but they know a hell of a lot about anything video. I have not had much luck myself and have gotten as far as being able to encode something using mencoder from the command line, which looked pretty good when playing in Mplayer, but looked like garbage if played on a windows box... So if you find any secrets to doing this, I am sure I am not the only one here that would like to know.

Could it be something with your video card? I really don't know, but if you have a tnt2 like me, it has 8 meg on board... maybe this has something to do with the cache setting? As for the stutter, I would think it has more to do with your connection and processor.

and if none of the above work out for you (or any of our other suggestions) maybe read through this FAQ and try restoring your user menus http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=8481

You probably will have to uninstall the plf package and let the mandrake libMagick package install that matchs mandrake's pixieplus. Just guessing here, but, the 5.5.7 versions seem to be dev type packages and may be missing the proper links to the system libraries. Otherwise, what (Mandrake ?) version are you running and how are you trying to install.

I am sure GodFlesh only uses p2p networks for perfectly legal reasons... like the rest of us. Such as, sharing his Linux ISO's and other open source programs, or promoting a friends music with their permission, or even just finding new music offered by musicians that you wont find in the record store. PS: Yes my previous comment was a bit dated... from MDK's 8.2 era.

Welcome aboard, Right here is a good place to get answers. That soundcard should be no problem. It works about 99% of the time without any problems. More likely you need to open up kmix or aumix and just unmute the sound levels. Probably would be good to clue us in on what version and desktop manager your running, so we can help you out more.

I remember reading some stuff where the edonkey folks were not happy with the mldonkey crew and they were supposedly trying things to blacklist them and keep them off their network. I would recommend using edonkey or overnet, who recently merged projects. They have rpms available too. http://www.edonkey2000.com/

I think Sans is just a type of font ( Same as Serif ). I couldn't figure out exactly which font KDE is using for this, but you should be able to find them in either; file:/usr/share/fonts file:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Yes, your assumptions are correct. This forum, and others like it, run on PHP, along with a SQL database (mySQL). So to create your own, you will need a server capable of running those programs (apache works great) and then the source files for the board, which you can download from their site (which is posted at the bottem of each page) and then upload to your server. After that you just open up a start/config page in a browser and it practically builds itself. (Read the faq on the homepages and they usually explain enough to get you going) Most of what you need will be found on your install disks and you could setup your own box to experiment with these. Another note, you can also usually install a forum as a module within another type of php site. FOR example pclinuxonline uses php-nuke for their news site, but has a "splatt" forum plugged in. I have lots of fun experimenting with these things myself. :D

MOD NOTE: This thread has since been moved from tips and tricks to software. (perhaps this will help produce an answer instead of jokes)

paul's suggestion looks like its what your looking for. I see it is on the CD2 install disk... and should be no problem to install with urpmi. Tho it may be squidGuard (with a big G) instead. urpmi squidGuard if you don't have that, you can get it from: http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/mandrake...-7mdk.i586.html

Jedd, sounds like you either have a bad CD2, or the source config is fubar. I would open up configure softare sources and add another one that would have the programs you need right away -- thus bypassing this bad CD setup. You can find plenty of ftp sources from: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3#586 or an easier way go here and follow the simple instructions: http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php "How can I unlock it?" Did you "su" and type in your root password? OH, and may I recommend this FAQ? http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=10600

Can you run this from Mandrake Control Center? That's where all those wizards seem to end up. K-->Configuration-->Configure your computer or start from commmand line with "mcc"

Nope, two different apps. You need to install: "rpm-build" Version: 4.2-18mdk is on CD 2 for Mandrake 9.2 That is correct version if you are "rebuilding the rpm"

NewReg, One thing the readme's don't usually mention and should always be checked before burning coasters is the md5sum. I see this readme did include this. We have more on this topic in our "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)" forum at: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4638

Figured this out. In phpMyAdmin, select th table in question, click on "browse" tab, click to "edit" entry, then click "empty" tab. Confirm the delete and logout. Now to figure out why the confirmation gets stuck there and does not send... or wait till they release 7.1 and hope they fixed this.

I am having a problem with the auto confirmation on my site and the problem is in my php-nuke code which keeps it from sending. One mail function works and another doesn't. The question is I found my new user signup is stuck in "nuke_user_temp" table in the MySQL database. How can I safely clear this entry so I can try again using the same email addy. Otherwise I get an error that the email has been previously registered. I would most likely want to use phpMyAdmin. thanx,

Seems this sendmail problem I am having (along with many other "nukers") is with my php-nuke setup. Seeing the "recommend my site" feature works and sends the email kinda tells me the sendmail works from the host's side. Somewhere tho, in my php code is the sendmail problem I am having. I found my new user signup is stuck in "nuke_user_temp" table in the MySQL database. So seeing the only problem from kingshosting is this missing conformation email we should have got and they are working on solving this. For what they offer and the price... I can't complain. :D

I want one of those thongs. No, j/k, but I would most likely buy the "T" BTW: I only tweaked the original logo myself.

kate !!! File open 40 pages, edit, and "save all" I did that recently, changing the footer area for all pages on a site.

No need to... I consider it gpl'd, gnu'd, and open source for use by board members and other official board biz.

B) Cool... Looks like it is working. Needs the trailing / http://diy-audio.curtek.com/files/ :D
