SoulSe ... you still haven't got it going ????? have you tried upgrading (or at least checking your install) gcc ??

:P

I came to the conclusion that you have to deal with it :? or don't use KDE .. that fixed it for me

phoenix opera konqueror mozilla

I think that may cause problems until recently my home network was called loudas.home (my domain is loudas.com) this worked quite well machinename.loudas.home did not interfere with loudas.com

willisoften: you could take a look at this http://mkcdrec.ota.be/ (make CD-ROM recovery)

incase it IS your hostname .. it can be changed permanently here: /etc/sysconfig/network example: [paul@dozer paul]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network GATEWAYDEV=eth0 NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=false HOSTNAME=dozer.loudas.com DOMAINNAME=loudas.com GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 then restart networking service network restart

firstly it may not be your hostname hostname will return you complete hostname heres mine paul@trinity paul $ hostname trinity.loudas.com paul@trinity paul $ it could be your bash settings. Your bash prompt (PS1) should be set to something like this [33[01;32m]u@h [33[01;34m]W $ [33[00m] you can check by doing this echo $PS1 is it is radically different then change it like this export PS1=[33[01;32m]u@h [33[01;34m]W $ [33[00m]

partition magic rescue disk are fantastic !!! :D they can move/create etc etc all manner of partitions perhaps I should image them and put them on an ftp server ??? is that illegal ? they come free with partition magic, so I guess the license would restrict me distributing the rescue disks :?

yes you can with samba. there is some funky samba configuration, but it is possible... you have to do things, like make a new samba users for each machine (not each user ... each machine !!!) wierd but it works, and works well

I think you are right

I don't have the remember patch :?

I have the Esetroot in my style file ... do you have this ??? cat /usr/X11R6/bin/startfluxbox #!/bin/sh if [ -e ~/.fluxbox/startup ];then exec sh ~/.fluxbox/startup else if [ ! -d ~/.fluxbox ];then mkdir ~/.fluxbox fi cp /usr/share/fluxbox/startup ~/.fluxbox /usr/X11R6/bin/bsetroot -solid Black exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox fi also .. chmod -R 755 ~/.fluxbox ( I had to set perms for my startup to work)

ok firstly this was done on MDK9.0 ..... install imlib-devel urpmi imlib-devel this is what I needed to install to get this to compile libglib1.2-devel-1.2.10-6mdk.i586 libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-29mdk.i586 libimlib1-devel-1.9.14-5mdk.i586 libjpeg62-devel-6b-25mdk.i586 libpng3-1.2.4-3.2mdk.i586 libpng3-devel-1.2.4-3.2mdk.i586 libtiff3-devel-3.5.7-5mdk.i586 libungif4-devel-4.1.0-19mdk.i586 zlib1-devel-1.1.4-3mdk.i586 get this http://loudas.com/~paul/idesk.tar.gz untar it tar xvfz idesk.tar.gz it has one prebuilt binary .. follow the instuction about setting up .ideskrc and .idesktop/ run the binary ./idesk see if that works if it does ... try compiling it your self ..... again ... :#: good luck

import duties aside ... I've not had any problems buy from mandrakestore even last time when people were complaining about service .. I ordered my boxed set, and it arrived 5 days later (in NZ !!! thats about as far away from france as you can get !!!)

XP home is based on 95/98/me code

nevermind chmod 755 fxi (its in the archive)

what the hell is fxi ?? and where do I find it?

or as root urpmi mysql-devel

cute but .. far too big to be usefull .. at least with 1024x768 anyway

Donations to: Paul Willard 6 Warwickson Lane Hamilton New Zealand. nah .. join the club ... Mandrake gets more money from club membership

whats the out put of ./configure ???

Esetroot is part of Eterm ... so no you don't need E .. just Eterm is there a file ~/.fluxbox/startup ???? there should be this is what mine looks like # Applications you want to run with fluxbox. # MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ``&'' AT THE END. # wmCalClock & xscreensaver & # idesk & wmix & # fbdesk & # And last but not least we start fluxbox. # Because it is the last app you have to run it with ``exec'' before it. exec fluxbox

are you using Mandrake? the imap package is on the cd's .. but you probably already have it installed right? and you're using pop3 thru xinetd? theYinYeti (I think it was him) seems to think the imap package is bad, although I've used it for 3years and haven't had any problems. mail.davinci.co.nz uses mandrake imap package (thats my last employer) pop3.loudas.com uses mandrake imap package .. and they both run fine !! I don't allow imap access to the outside world. because that causes problems with traffic ($$$) ... but this won't bother you right ?? cause your using fetchmail etc etc ? storing 10gig of mail ?????? man bzip2 would be my first step :P

which is why my /home is on a different drive :-) new harddrive with more space will fix it for me :-) also ... if I need to take *bulk data* (more than a couple of cd's) anywhere ... I can take out my /home drive and mount it on somebody elses computer :#: cool !!!
