that may be of more help (i'm getting the hang of this google advanced search thing...hehe)

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...

that looks like an awesome prog steamcat, i'll have to try it out when i get home.

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".

that was what i mean/was trying to get across, i just rather pissed after buying it and finding out i can's play it!

that's where impulse buying will get ya ;-)

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.

please be more specific about the error, as you will most likely need the drivers before the modem will work...

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 :)

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 :)

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...

nope...no fixed code here.  just a missing "Y" key from me punching the keyboard and it going flying to god no what remote corner of my room.

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......

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

Are you saying it's working for you? If so what did you do?

who's that directed towards? i don't think anyone has fixed it yet, and i know i certainly haven't :)

beesea: how 'bout some links? :-) thanks!

for kde, go to the fonts section in the control center.  for gnome, edit /etc/profile.d/gtk2.sh so that the last line in the case statement reads:

GDK_USE_XFT="0" to turn it off.  if it equals 1, aa is turned on.

thanks :)

oh I get it now!!!!!!  crappy code.

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++....

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 :)

where do you turn on/off anti-aliasing?

Am I right in thinking that Mandrake will be able to work with this partition, or should I actually delete the partition entirely and leave Mandrake to find the free space on the disk?

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 :)

thanks for the help! i'll check this out when i get back to work tomorrow :)

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...

I tried to install imlib2, and it would let me, but I always got the same error messsage.

probably because it's only finding imlib3, try specifying where imlib2 is when you run the configure command. do a ./configure --help and look for an option to use for specifying the directory to find imlib in.

Edit: took a second look and came up w/some ideas:

i would contact the guy who writes fluxspace (this previously read fluxbox, that was a mistake), it looks like he made some mistakes in his code (not relating to the Imlib issue), I think.

the following are what i'm wondering about:

const char* BaseDisplay::getXDisplayName() onst

missing the c in const at the end?

const char* BaseDisplay::getApplicationName) const

missing the beginning "("?

BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay(const char*, const cha*, bool)

missing the r in the second char?

the problem appears to be that the function BaseDisplay doesn't have a variable assigned to take the value of the variable "application_data"

that's my guess, but it's been nearly 2 years since i've worked with C/C++

did you try using a different keyboard?

i'm assuming the light for num lock on your keyboard turns off, and thats how you know it's turned off. it's possible your keyboard has some bad connecters. this could also account for the randomness of it turning off.

ok, i'll attempt to be a bit more clear on the first question.

the bash script has to check a linux machine to make sure that it is using the ext2 filesystem on the partitions that are considered to be primary. as for which partitions fall into the primary category, i am not sure, but i'll give an example:

if /dev/hda1 is ext3, or any other filesystem, then it is in error. it must be ext2, no other filesystem is permitted. note: this is simply checking to see if it is ext2, not changing it.

and thank you for the simplication of code, i have no idea why i used cat, i should have thought about that. i'm fairly new to bash scripting, and am learning...all be it slowly.

thanks!
