Thanx everyone for the help! I am now able to boot into my Mandrake OS. But I will be making a boot floppy. But I'm just glad that my Linux system is safe, I thought all was lost when I had to re-do XP :D

Ok, this is the problem I'm having. My XP had to be reinstalled. I had XP and Mandrake 9.2 running with LILO as the bootloader. Now LILO is gone because I had to re-do XP. Is there a way for me to make a bootdisk so I can boot into my Linux OS? I'd rather do it this way so I don't have to modfiy my Windows bootloader if this is possible. :unsure:

Thanx, I will definitely check into installing one of these. :D

I did a scan at pcflank.com and everything was stealth with the exception of some UDP ports. I need to do something to turn that off. I guess I need to install some sort of software firewall.

I'm running Mandrake 9.2 and I'm on cable. I have a Linksys befsx41 router with only my computer connected to it. Is there a need for me to run a software firewall such as firestarter, or am I pretty safe behind the router? In Windows, I was running Sygate Pro along with the router. I did a port scan at www.grc.com and the site told me my ports were stealth. But I am really security conscious, and wanted to be sure. :unsure:

I finally had to reboot to XP and change the dir to "LINUX." Then I was able to access the file, update the kernel source and finally install the NVIDIA nforce drivers. Everything worked! I thank you very much for your help :D

Yes, it is in a dir that has spaces. So I will need 3 "\" of these. Thanx so much. I will try this. :D

Hi everyone. This is driving me crazy. I am running Mandrake 9.2 and my onboard ethernet device will not work. However, I know what the problem is. My kernel sources are not correct. So I downloaded the correct one, but I had to save it to my D: drive which is NTFS because I cannot connect to the internet through Mandrake. Now I can successfully mount my D: drive, but when I try and enter the directory the kernel source is in, it keeps telling me that there is no such directory. What can I do to access this dir because I need the file in there bad. Thanks for any help you can give. I'm just about ready to go to Mandrake 9.1 because I read somewhere that it's easier to get the nforce2 MCP Networking Adapter working.
