I always carry a copy of Knoppix 3.2 in my suitcase, but have always missed the opportunity to store stuff... I can't wait for MandrakeMove to be finalized, so I can use it with my 256MB USB-stick :-)

Who really read all the posts in threads like this one? I always read the first one, goes to the last page, read the last two-three, then post my own bragging-list :-) ...not that my PC is too much to brag about anymore... Well, here goes: Shuttle XPC SN41G2 AMD Athlon XP2400+ 2.0GHz Standard RAM 512MB, 333Mhz Nvidia nForce2 with Geforce4 MX Plextor CDRW 48x/24x/48x speed IBM HD 40GB 7200rpm Logitech UltraX Flat Keyboard Logitech Wireless Optical Trackman LG Studioworks 560LS Picture and more info here: http://www.pdanorway.com/shuttle.htm And yes, I buildt it myself.

"Crazy Norwegian" would be cool

I've mounted the CDROM and run the installation, it asks for the patch to something called ls.... don't remember, sorry, will check and get back to you on that one. But the important thing is that I don't get networking up, I've tried both NAT and bridged. NAT works on my viritual 2000server and my viritual 2000pro. I've run the network wizard, it detects my card and everything, but still no IP. I discovered yesterday that under boot, networking fails... but it recognizes my card... what's wrong? A college of mine has gotten mdk8.2 working under VMware on an exact same laptop without any of the problems I have :blink:

I have the same problem. XMMS worked perfectly under mdk9.1, but now that I have mdk9.2 it f*** up my system, espesially if I try to use it for streaming. No problems if I use mPlayer or Totem.

Anyone running Mandrake 9.2 in a VMWare session? I've installed mdk9.2 on my corporate laptop as a viritual VMWare machine. Installation went great (of course, it's Mandrake B) ) ... but now I have two problems: 1. I cant get VMWare Tools installed (not really that important, but any tips would be appreciated). 2. This is the biggie: MDK recognises my networkcard, but it claims it's down, and I can't get it working... the wizard runs through OK, but it never get a DHCP-adress. I use NAT, should I try bridged f.ex. instead, or any other tips? I need to get this working to run a test on some monitoring products I'm tech-support for...

Right now I use aMSN (all my friends use MSN, so I really don't need more protocols), but Kmess looks really nice. It seemes difficult to install for a n00b like me, is it? Anyone tried AYTTM? It looks somewhat cool...

I had the same problem... and tyme/NeoXP here helped me, read all about it in this thread: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...wtopic=9560&hl= (espesially tyme and NeoXP's posts on page 2)

Installed 7.23 yesterday over my existing 7.21, no problems. Yes, I'm from Norway, so of course I have to use Opera

Club testing site... you mean Mandrake Club? I've been thinking about joining, is there any reason to go for anything else but "Standard member"? Sorry for going off-topic in my own topic

I tried using XMMS, but it crashes every time (the sound continues, but I can't stop it, change it or kill XMMS, need to log-off...) Any ideas why (I use Opera 7.23 web-browser)? Using Totum worked very well though... thanks for the tip!

Personally I always build my desktop at home, but I think I remember seeing some of the smaller laptop-brands locally here in Norway selling laptops without OS on...

Hi everyone. I'm addicted to MSN, and used Kopete before, I just reinstalled my PC with mdk9.2 and found that the .rpm for Kopete doesn't work, so I thought that I'd might try another IM-app. What do you guys think?

Thank you guys, I'm now online with my mdk9.2 I was really easy once I'd downloaded the kernel from tyme's link and after following NeoXP's good how-to!

So you can use XMMS? Thats great! I'll try it as soon as I get online... (have some probs with my nforce2 and mdk9.2) Realplayer... is it easy to install?

Thanks dude! I've downloaded it now, will try it tomorrow or on tuesday, it's getting late up here. I'm really looking forward to getting my shuttle back online... I'll post back here on how it goes.

The only app I miss from the Windows-world is iTunes... I love to listen to web-radio. I saw Rhythmbox, but couldn't install it (yeah, I'm a Linux-n00b...) Anyone want to give me a how-to to install it, have the link to a functioning .rpm or another web-radio app that works? Yeah, and I've got Mandrake 9.2.

Holy crap... there where a lot of kernel files there, do you know wich one I need? I just have the standard mdk 9.2 installation...

I'm thinking about buying an Maxtor 200GB external HD that uses both FW and USB2... so my question to you guys is; have you gotten it to work both on WinXP and Linux?

Wow, that was a fast reply, thank you! The kernel-source? What file is that? I downloaded from here: ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake/ Should I store the files somewhere spesial, or just in tmp? after the rmp --rebuild... is there anything more to do?

Hi. I found an ftp-site once that had hundreds of RPM's espesially for Mandrake, but since I cleared my machine and forgot to backup my bookmarks, I can't find it anymore... Anyone have links to good sites with RPM's for Mandrake? Yeah, I know I should join MandrakeClub... will do it as soon as I get the Nforce2 drivers working again on mdk9.2 (http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=9560)!

Hi, I'm a real n00b at Linux, and have just installed mdk9.2 on my Shuttle and lost my network-connection (had 9.1 and there the nvidia drivers worked)... could you explain just how you did this? I have dual-boot with XP and have downloaded the source rpm and the tar.gz, but don't know what to do with them?
