actually i think you can delete those files as a normal user , and yes you will only see .kde and .qt

.kde and this is very important all hidden files start with a .

sorry arctic i saw the log in as root statement and didn't read on

delete the hidden kde files in your user home file too.

make sure to ---urpmi urpmi--- first before you urpmi --auto-select

http://wwwra.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~wa...ndrake/gnome2.7

for your url

hdlist.cz

for your relative path

instead of ---urpmi.addmedia contrib--- change contrib to something like ---gnome2.8--- or anything that will remind you that it is gnome 2.8 source

example..

urpmi.addmedia gnome2.8 http://wwwra.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~wa...drake/gnome2.7/ with media_info/hdlist.cz

If you updated your kernel you need to reboot.

I'm using this as my source.

when i get home tonight i'll pm you a copy of mine

head to the easy urpmi site and set up your sources from there

I'm not at my Linux box right now but I know KDE will go greater than that, my box is at 1280 ! And that setting is there I've used it a hundred times. I'll check tonight when I get home for ya.

the diff in these cat wires are the amount of twists and wire diameter. the twists cut down in cross talk and the bigger the diameter the more signal that gets through. your router won't ever know the difference in any cable you use it's just gonna send out the same signal no matter what.

you can mix and match all day long --- and as a home user you will never physically see the speed dif between the 2 versions.

No need to download and manually install if you don't wan't to. Use the urpmi command in console or for a GUI use MCC

make sure your firewall is not blocking your traffic

go to the add programs part of mcc not updates

type kernel into the search box

choose your kernel and source

p.s.

update your sources first

change the resolution in the kde control center and then tell it to always use this setting

urpmi

add 10.1 sources

then type urpmi --auto-select

cd

make sure it was a good download

make sure it was a good burn

kwrite/lib/modules/modules.dep needs to be typed as kwrite /lib/modules/modules.dep

Mandrake installs an older version of ndiswrapper by default on installation, you have to remove this version first then install your new ndiswrapper source.

Make sure hpoj is installed and you have installed hpijs from source as per hp

(i can do this as user but it's already installed -- you may have to do this as root first -- not sure )

in the console type scanimage --list-devices

here is what mine looks like

[durvish@localhost durvish]$ scanimage --list-devices

device `hpoj:hpjd:192.168.0.101' is a hp psc 2500 series multi-function peripheral

if you get this then when you run xsane it should see your scanner

urpmi cups first you can keep the printer, when you set it up again in cups it will just be another setup and you can make it default if you want

I don't like the look of those security/suid changes on there !

you look like you may be compromised

i'm using an hp psc 2510 which has built in wireless (it is seen as a jetdirect)

from my experience I can setup the printer for wireless to print using the hpoj driver no prob but the the scanner is not seen. so here is what i normally have to do to have everything working.

1. make sure the hpoj has been installed by mandrake

2. download and istall hpijs in accordance with the hp directions

3. run "ptal-init setup" from console as root

4. set up printer in cups using the ptal address from ptal-init setup

5. from command line (as root) run the scanner find line (this is not the same as the standard xsane line of code, I'm at work now and can't look it up but you can find it in the install tutorial from the hpijs site from hp)

p.s.

you must restart cups after running ptal-init setup so that cups will see the new connection.

as long as your printserver has an ip address all of the above should work smoothly

In mandrake you need to use ndiswrapper for this card. I also tried it in suse because it ran straightaway but the reception is lousy no where near the full speed. with mandrake and ndiswrapper i get the full turbo speed with near perfect reception.
