The Mandrake 9.2 ISO's are avialable for download by club members now (via Bittorrent)

As long as your firewall isn't too ovvereagre the BitTorrent method isn't too bad - I just wish they'd give me the torrent already!!!

bash -v does print out all of your bash variables - it's the same as bash --verbose. bash --version prints the version information.

>as you can see nothing happens when I give that command Don't worry, thats what should happen, if you type exit after that you'll return to your original instance of bash.

Can you do an ls -l on /bin/sh ??? I'm getting the feeling that it can only be ran as root.

Sorry, I was skim-reading try ls -l /bin/sh, and post the output.

You can switch it off by editing /etc/inputrc, to add set bell-style none you could also set this to visual to give you a graphical warning. If you just want to lower its volume you'll probably have to mess about with a mixer for your sound setup.

Have you tried this as root? Check the permissions for using sh.

For killing a process ps -u username find the PID number (easier this way than using top), then: kill -9 PID

>have you ever played with vim in VISUAL MODE? Nope, but I do a lot of work over SSH with no X forwarding.... And I don't want to relearn lots of command strokes. :wink:

>But being a newbie i can run it only from console with command "gmplayer", can't locate executable for a short cute If you can run gmplayer from CLI then a simple which gmplayer will tell you where the binary is located.

>vi is the answer, comes pre-installed, and you don't need X Flamebait!!!! :wink: Emacs comes pre-installed and doesn't need X!! I prefer it, but I think it's really a case of which one you try to learn first is the text editor you'll prefer. I like emacs' ability to cut and paste rectangles and couldn't find this in vi...

kernel-tmb usually includes some experimental patches, usually used if you've got some exotic hardware which isn't detected in the normal mdk kernel - not the same as the multimedia one!! The basic idea is that the different kernels have different patches to attempt to suit them to specific tasks. The multimedia kernel has the low-latency patch (amongst others), whilst the enterprise kernel is compiled for an i686 with highmem support up to 4GB via a patch.

If you purely want to change the canvas size (and produce a white background), simply select the entire image and copy it. The create a new image, with a white background, and paste the tomato into that new image.

You can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the dos tag on your bootloader to windows - it's merely a cosmetic change however. Like DragonMage said, you need to download the rpm's from nvidias website to get your nforce2 nic going. I'm not sure if they'll have the correct rpm for your kernel so you may have to build a binary from the src rpm.

I'm not entirely sure what you're wanting to do but I'd suggest either scaling the image (with some loss of quality), or you could change the size of the canvas you're working on - leaving the tomato image the same.

Mandrake kernels are often patched to add new features that a stock kernel doesn't have. Such as that nice loading graphical loading screen you get. The different mdk kernels, multimedia, enterprise etc have different patches apploed.

No, there are erata kernels published by Mandrake available on the web, some Mandrake compatible rpm kernels (not made by Mandrake - but for mandrake) are out there too. You can also grab the kernel source from http://www.kernel.org/ and roll your own.

I've been a member of my local LUG for about two years now, I'm not a regular at the meetings but the mailing list is a good source of info. It also let me draw a horny penguin :lol: http://www.york.lug.org.uk/

You can get majesty from tuxgames, I played it quite some time ago when the port was still being put together and it was great even with the bugs it then had!!

Thats an easy one: Z-1,3-pentadiene with a spin-coupled orbital on the hydrogen.

They still can't make a website that works properly in my browser though!! :D

Thanks paCkeTroUTer, It was the xhtml that was foxing me and I'd missed the trailing / within the link tag.

Hi all, I've some experience of webdesign (only for fun) but I've been out of the loop for a while and I'm trying to catch up with CSS and XHTML. Inspired by the page layout I've seen at http://www.saila.com/usage/layouts/ I'm considering making a few pages in this vain. Basically what I want to know is if it is possible to place the majority of the page layout information in an external stylesheet? I've tried but I was left with a blank white page. Thanks in advance
