????????!!!!!!!!!! What are you guys talking about? are you saying that this is the torrent release which is buggy and mandrake are still going to release an updated version of the iso's with fixes?

sorry............... /me goes and hides in a corner Hey!! all the smilies are there!! IM such an i shoulda checked properly!! is the hanged smilie still workin... Well Mandrake did imply that it would be released at the end of october so don't feel to bad about it. I hope they haven't released yet because they are redoing the iso's to incorporate the fixed kernel and all the current updates(hey it could happen! :wacko: ).

Well im extremely biased but i say Python all the way! You should give both a go and decide which you want to really learn first.

doesn't java have variable variables? in php you can: <? $cat = 'dog'; $$cat = 'woof'; echo $dog; // will echo woof class test_class { function test_class() { echo "Blahn"; } function hello() { return "Moooooo!n"; } } $i = 1; while($i < 5) { $j = "cow".$i; echo $j." variable created belown"; $$j = new test_class(); echo $$j->hello(); $i++; } ?>

this thread may help you out. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ar...2003/08/4/65492 then again it may not.

The 6 month release is not so much the problem as the obvious lack of QA testing. There should have been at least two more rc releases by the look of things.

when using gcc did you include the link flag for the math library ? eg) gcc src.c -lm -lm links to the math library

SM is good when it works. Can be a real pain when it doesn't. I think it is worth while to keep working on it, it has to work properly eventually. My only real problem is when i want to install multidisc games like ut2003 but i just disable it then turn it back on afterwards. For general usage i generally prefer having it to not having it.

The card could be loose in the pci slot. With 9.1 i had to switch the driver to get it working it was using audigy instead of the emu2k driver. But if your card was working then stoped it is probably not the driver(you can always check though).

I have a fuji finepix a210 which works straight away in mandrake. Nice camera for the price (free) :) Great not having to install a lot of junk software with drivers, like i used to in windows.

my list of the ten games i play the most 1 Enemy Territory 2 Urban Terror (q3 mod) 3 NWN 4 UT (original in that game mode with shock rifles only) 5 myth2 6 Vegastrike 0.4.1 7 UT2003 8 tuxkart 9 BZflag 10 freespace i would put Medal of honor in there but the beta time limit ran out and im waiting for the next beta so i won't include it. I don't like AA not fun enough for me. i use a 1800xp with 1024mb ddr333 gf ti4200 128mb more than enough speed, i have a 2500xp system but i haven't bothered to make that one my gaming system as i don't think i would notice any difference. I will once i get a hold of mandy 9.2 though.

From memory yes you will need kernel source for the 536ep driver.

I assume firebird will be similar to mozilla goto edit -> preferences -> navigator -> helper aplications (won't be the same i would immagine) select the appropriate mime type and hit the edit button, change the viewer that is used. EDIT I assumed wrong phoenix doesn't have edit -> preferences it has tools -> options but unfortuanately it doesn't appear to have a way to edit the helper applications via this dialog(at least in version 0.6 which is what i have).

You should just add the /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program/ directory to your $PATH variable that way you can call the programs from anywhere. type "echo $PATH" to see your current users path (where bash looks for commands to execute) you should have a .bash_profile file in your home directory heres mine: So to add you OO program directory to it you would change "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" to "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program" then you will be able to type swriter from anyway and get it to open. after logging out and back in again first. You can add to your $PATH via the console like this: PATH=$PATH:/opt/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/program But that is only temporary editing your .bash_profile is perminent. see the following url for more info http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/basics/bshell5.html

Very odd! have you put shorewall back on and it still works?

I would try creating a php script that creates socket server on the port like so: #!/home/john/php/bin/php # location of php binary with socket support <?php // Set the ip and port we will listen on $address = '127.0.0.1'; $port = 1110; echo "Trying to create socket on: $address port: $portn"; // Create a TCP Stream socket $sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); // Bind the socket to an address/port socket_bind($sock, $address, $port) or die('Could not bind to addressn'); echo "Socket created successfullyn"; // Close the master sockets socket_close($sock); echo "Socket closed, byen"; ?> so i can create open a socket on 1110 tcp But if i try to open a socket thats in use i can't 10000 is webmin's Unfortuanately php in mandrake doesn't come with the socket functions enabled you could install the php src rpm and edit the spec file then rebuild it or just download the source file from php.net and build it and install it in another directory. I use my home directory for testing out new versions. ./configure --prefix="/home/john/php/" --enable-sockets make make install (as normal user) Your telnet results seem to show that there isn't any servers on those ports, maybe it is security related somehow rather than a resource conflict.

or I'm starting it like this, as root: perl popfile.pl -port 1110 I have no clue. TIA Edit: I even found on RPMfind.net that there is a cooker RPM for it, so I installed it and did service popfile start and get the same random two errors, although less verbose. The only thing that shows up in any log is in /var/log/syslog: popfile succeeded isn't 8080 squids port eg proxy server port?. The etc/services file contains a listing of port addresses and what is normally on them. 1110 is not mentioned in mine, and 1110 isn't a reserved port anyway being over 1024. did you try telneting the port to see if something answers?

I love that "msie meets mozilla" gif on your site 8)

Use fltk for your gui then you won't have to bother using that windows api. Should be easily portable then as well (X11, windows, mac osX). It also has a ui builder app called fluid for designing your windows. www.fltk.org

comparrison of 2.4.21 kernel showed approx 200 lines of similar code, code all looks to be under public domain. 2.4.22 has no similar code. Hmmm this sounds more likely than sco's "millions of lines of code copied directly" http://www.itworld.com/Man/2685/031006sgisco/

I just use generic 333mhz ram with my 2500XP and it runs fine with a gigabyte kt400 motherboard, kingston should be fine, probably a motherboard support issue.

Ok it compiles fine for me with mandrake 9.1, normally i have always found it a bit tricky to compile.

I noticed a definate improvement in performance and stability after rebuilding a lot of the base rpms for athlon-xp, so much so that i will definately do the same for 9.2.

if you use OO i would recommend 1.1 series it is much better than 1.0.x series. Better startup times, better filters and more features.

It is really simple. Mandrake is faster because it's the only distro that uses vaseline :P
