  1. what type of NIC do you have? my father had a Linksys NIC which was doing ICS (internet connection sharing) and would periodically stop transferring data, despite the fact that it appeared to be doing it correctly. we had to reboot the machine to fix it, everytime... but he was using windows, so i don't know if it was the O/S or the card, i just know that disabling and re-enabling the card/connection from within windows wouldn't fix it. always need to go through a complete power cycle (reboot) to get it back up.
  2. a lot of people leave AIM on while they are sleeping. it's some weird thing-for me it's 'cuz i have friends in different time zones, and it's easier for them to just send me an IM then to write up an email and send it off. it's just something AIM users tend to do, really....
  3. just don't decide to give anything using FAT16 filesystem a try-you'll end up with 100 2-gig partitions. 2 gigs used to be sooooo much...man were those the days.
  4. i think hugerobot has a good point. however, this would be a rather large undertaking. definitely more than a one person job. *looks around the board* i think you might be able to find some good helpers here...if they're up to it :smile:

    DVD-RAM?

    http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ that may be of more help (i'm getting the hang of this google advanced search thing...hehe)

    DVD-RAM?

    i did a google search for "dvd-rw in linux" and ended up at some site talking about Mandrake 9.0... here's the link:http://lists.suse.com/archive/packet-writi...2-Nov/0037.html not sure how much use that will end up being, tho...
  7. that looks like an awesome prog steamcat, i'll have to try it out when i get home.
  8. i think the readme is in error by telling you to type make 536ep try just typing: make every time i've compiled something from source (what you're doing) that's all that needed to be typed, i believe by adding the 546ep it's trying to look in a directory or for a specific file...i'm not sure though-so give plain old "make" a try, and you also may need to do a: ./configure before you do the "make".

    alpha centauri installer

    that's where impulse buying will get ya ;-)
  10. what's occuring is that someone is using an old tactic to send fake emails. whether they are using a program to do this or are doing it manually can't really be told. in fact, from what you posted i can't quite figure out where the email is coming from-which i'm usually able to determine. that is, assuming full headers are turned on-not on your side, as the headers necessary to determine where it's coming from would be in the original message. my suggestion: change your email address-unless you absolutely have to have this email. aim isn't the issue here...someone probably just figured out that the email address you have exists, and started using it to send out these emails. i had a similar issue w/my old domain, tymehacker.net, in which i had a long conversation w/someone who had received one of the emails supposedly sent from my address. i helped him get in contact w/the ISP from which the email originated, but i can't find that info in what you've posted. otherwise, i'd try to be of more help :-/ I ended up closing that account so that this sort of thing wouldn't occur.
  11. please be more specific about the error, as you will most likely need the drivers before the modem will work...
  12. i'll take a look at /etc/mtab and see if it is useful thing is, this has to work across various different Linux distro's (redhat, suse, mandrake, you name it) and i, personally, have no way of knowing which ones may be used-my test system is redhat 8.0 dunno if that makes any difference at all, about to try the code you posted in a short bit-we'll see how it turns out :)
  13. i think what he's saying is he doesn't want to have to be in mozilla when he opens up another occurence. he wants to be able to do it from an icon or whatever else, but everytime he does that he gets the profile box. (so, the file->new window option is the same as the ctrl+n he mentioned-which is not what he wants). basically, he wants to get rid of the "profile" thing... however, i don't know the answer, just attempting to clarify his request :)

    gimp print

    did you check all the dependencies? also-there is a gimp-print RPM on the mdk9 CD's, not sure how "old" it is, but it should work well enough...
  15. whoops? must be fun to type anything with a why in it...try typing this sentence: why worry you can always just type with a stylus? yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy mwahaha...i'm evil.....erm, right. anyways......
  16. well, atleast Mac recognizes open source has a good thing... down with MS! maybe i'll buy a mac sometime...you know, just to see this OSX of theirs..........and then put PPC Linux on it
  17. who's that directed towards? i don't think anyone has fixed it yet, and i know i certainly haven't :)
  18. beesea: how 'bout some links? :-) thanks!
  19. woohoo! was i actually right? i should take the time to fix it for everyone, if i can figure it out *starts thinking really hard* remember C++.....remember C++....
  20. haven't tried guarddog yet, will have to check it out. i've used firestarter, and found it fairly easy to see where people were connecting to me and what services ran on that port, and then blocking which ones i felt should be blocked. i even would block specific IP addresses that were a constant annoyance :)
  21. where do you turn on/off anti-aliasing?
  22. the mandrake install will recognize it right, and you can use mandrake to clear out the second partition and set it up/reformat it the way it needs it. just make sure you don't have anything on that drive. but...it may be better, for windows, if you just delete the partition. otherwise windows may complain, ya never know. also, it will make the process of partitioning things out for linux a lot easier when you get into the mandrake install-you can just tell it to use the empty space, and you won't have to guess which one is the one you want :)
  23. thanks for the help! i'll check this out when i get back to work tomorrow :)
  24. not primary as in primary vs. logical, just primary as in / or /root so, i believe parsing is what i'm looking to do, so if you could give me some help in that area, i would be grateful :) believe me, i don't really understand why this is being done, but it's not really my choice...
