Trust me, radeon support just gets better and better with newer versions of XFree86. Have no radeon worries - works outta-tha-box!

I know all the dooms work, I'm just not sure if it's legacy doom or whatever out of all the new projects since the code was released. There's even one with 3D, like fog and stuff! However they didn't change from sprites to 3d-objects for the monsters 'cause it'd take a while. I was just curious which of all the dooms and quakes work and have 3D. GLQuake style 3D quake for linux (I have a radeon) is what I really want.

Can someone tell me if twilight for linux is 3D like GLQuake for windows? I'd like to run 3D quake 1 in linux if possible. Also - what doom works in linux and lets you look around with the mouse?

I prefer Ixthusdan's way... Countless other things'll get broken ramfree's way I'm afraid, considering the way many things remember where they'd been installed from. I use this scheme: CDRW for software installs, DVD for movies/music/multimedia. Plus, I just got used to cdrom being the bottom one, and cdrom2 being the top one! lol

Pro: GREAT! It works! Thanks! Con: I broke my rpm database Now it looks for /dev/hdb when I try to use urpmi and can't 'cause it's now /dev/scd0 (burner's scd1). Can someone help me fix this? With this fixed, I'll have my dream linux system where every piece of hardware I own and software I'd like works! (Just for me to tear it down later in the week to re-build it so that it's clean; then I won't touch it for a year)

On mine if you kill the X server you have to log back in... but that only works if you're booting up with init 5 (X) instead of init 3 (CLI) followed by a startx.

Is it jumpered as master or cable select? Also, are you manually using hdparm to set your dma on boot up (not that I remember exactly how...) or is it automatic/already there?

Why do you have to reconfigure all this stuff (and worry about mdk 8.2 with your G4) if the harddrives are fried anyway? If you have to reinstall, go 9.1 and solve all the problems in a 25 minute install, no? Be sure your burner is master secondary, hard drive master primary, other cdrom slave primary, other hdd slave secondary. Be sure your bios settings are set to have a 333 FSB and P'n'P bios OFF. Other than that, happy flying!

You're right... it seems OK so far. Thanks again!

Yeah but there's no one there to say if I did it right...

(From above link) There we go: MSN Messenger file transfer = TCP 6891-6900 I'd open those, but not the shitload for RTP connection 5004-65535.

Thanks for the thought (it's the thought that counts ;) ) but I had planned on that much. Scripts I find pretty easy, when they're only doing simple batch jobs. (aru is the king of massive end-all be-all scripts) It's the config file I'm worried about 'cause like I said; I don't know when to use seta and when not to... Thanks though...

Does this quake 3 script look right to you guys? I don't know how/when to use seta... // Server.cfg // Global Server Vars seta sv_hostname "Den of Love" seta sv_maxclients 16 seta g_motd "Welcome to the Void" seta sv_pure 1 seta g_allowvote 1 seta rconpassword "password" // Global Game Vars seta g_quadfactor 2 seta g_weaponrespawn 5 seta g_inactivity 300 seta g_forcerespawn 1 seta g_friendlyFire 0 seta bot_enable 1 seta g_teamForceBalance 1 seta g_doWarmup 8 // Local Game Vars set d1 "g_gametype 0; fraglimit 15; timelimit 20; bot_minplayers 5; map q3dm5; set nextmap vstr d2" set d2 "g_gametype 4; capturelimit 8; timelimit 15; bot_minplayers 2; map q3ctf1; set nextmap vstr d3" set d3 "g_gametype 4; capturelimit 5; timelimit 25; bot_minplayers 4; map q3ctf3; set nextmap vstr d4" set d4 "g_gametype 4; capturelimit 8; timelimit 15; bot_minplayers 2; map q3ctf4; set nextmap vstr d5" set d5 "g_gametype 4; capturelimit 8; timelimit 20; bot_minplayers 4; map q3ctf5; set nextmap vstr d1" vstr d1 Then to start the game I ssh to the server and type cd /usr/local/games/quake3 screen ./q3ded +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +set com_hunkmegs 56 +exec server.cfg Is that right?

In which case it's port 21. Try it with 21 and 1863 open and let us know if thats all you need. I, however, WOULDN'T trun on the ftp service, because then you have a massive security risk if you aren't administering your ftp server. Just open the port for msn file transfers. Again, be sure to tell us if this works so in the future similar questioners can search and find this thread. 8)

Yeah, it's cool. I understand NAT, afterall I am supposed to be a network specialist... lol But by proxy I mean http cache proxy... such as what squid provides.

I'm intrigued to find out how to fix this for various distributions, mainly live bootable cds that I carry around that I like to customize before burning to add my passwords, bookmarks, etc.

Not sure why, but mine worked right away. Installed 9.1. Two days later without having really touched the 9.1 install, added kylix 3 open first shot. Wish I had a suggestion, I'd love to see kylix programming really take off.

Where could I get a comprehensive reference on bash programming aru? You've got it down and I'd like to... I want to make newbie's lives easier. Therefore linux easier. Therefore linux more widely accepted, and therefore more widely used.

xpuke??? LOL Did I miss something?

HEY! YOU get the thanks??? lol

I forgot to mention - this way also protects both OSes from the other. That is windows can't screw up something it can't detect, and linux can't write to NTFS as long as you don't get all adventerous/dangerous and go compiling NTFS write support in your kernel and modifying your /etc/fstab to mount the NTFS drive as rw (rewritable as opposed to ro - read-only). If you're relectant to format and lose stuff on your windows now, borrow a friends burner and ask us how to hook it up so you can burn the stuff you need to keep. We're here for ya.

W A I T!!!!!!!!!!! OK listen up: I have the best way to dual boot hands down. You'll have to reload windows, though, 'cause resizing causes poor performance ever after in windows. Step 1 Pop in the Windows cd. Reboot. Delete ALL partitions. Make a partition big enough for windows + apps, like 20GB. Make another HUGE one for keeping all your music, downloads, movies, pictures, etc... leaving enough free unpartitioned space for linux (say 20GB at the end of the drive). Step 2 Choose to install on the first part (20GB) as NTFS full format (not quick). Step 3 Boot into windows when done and select the HUGE partition and right click - format full as FAT32, NOT NTFS. This will now be writable in both OS's!! Great for listening to the same MP3s in either, etc. Step 4 Pop in mandrake (preferably 9.1) and reboot. Select the left over free space for / (or divvy it up for /, /usr, /home). Select the OTHER 500MB hard drive for swap. You'll get a bit better performance / stability this way. Step 5 Be sure to install mandrake's boot loader to the MBR (master boot record). All done! A perfect system. Now if you EVER have to update/upgrade either OS, all your music, etc stays! Enjoy! I promise this system won't let you down. I say do it right the first time and enjoy everafter. Trust me - you'll want to upgrade both OSes eventually, and windows more often 'cause it always degrades slowly... In the case where you reload windows, it'll write over the boot record and boot straight into win. Don't be afraid, linux isn't gone. You just boot off the first mandrake disk, press F2 and type rescue. One option is repair the bootload/MBR. Done!

Just wondering if 1.4 was final or still RC4. Was waiting for it to go final / being a procratinator 'cause my drives' full... But I'll be formatting soon. Yesseree: mdk 9.1, winXP pro, gentoo, and freeBSD with a huge fat32 partition in the middle to keep my stuff on.

tcp 1863 my friend, that's the msn port no matter the client software running (gaim, kmerlin, etc). You do know Gaim does 'em all, right?
