one thing I have noticed with MDK and Bind, is Mandrake have an odd variable $ORIGIN ... my entries wouldn't work with these in, and the server work fine without them ..... can't figure out why MDK would put them there ???

when I build a DNS server I constantly, from another computer on the network do a "dig @192.168.1.1 mandrakeusers.org" if there is no access to the dns server (its not running or a firewall is blocking it) then it will return .. no DNS server found you can also do this from the DNS machine dig @localhost mandrakeusers.org if it returns anything (not an error of course) then its working fine, and could be a network/security issue

I would pay $$$$ for any "in-car" racing game GTA grand Turismo World Rally V8 Supercars Formula 1 etc etc etc

hi Red this very thing happened to me when I first installed SNF I think what happens is when you edit the network card configuration, and especialy change what interface the admin is on, it seems to forget which driver goes with what card. if you a lsmod you will noptice that only one network driver is installed, and have a look at /etc/modules.conf I had problems in there too. The only way I could figure out how to fix it was to reinstall :-( any you do on the command line is forgotten when you reboot, which is why I decided to reinstall. I now have a nice reliable SNF running (I have also updated a bunch of software). are you able to update packages?? if you can't it probably mean you need to update some packages manually, which is not hard to do, but it may have some affect on how the www-front works.

ok so it looks pretty cool ... but I'm only getting one desktop I have done --kde and edited /etc/3ddesktop.conf but still nothing mdk 9.0 with 32mb GF2 is there a trick :?:

Ronin is right ... I have seti@home running on lots of machines (5 I think)

first of all ... check this out secondly ... if you're interested in joining our group you can visit this link http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/t...eam_139739.html

actually MNF 8.2 is already released. here's a "How-TO" that I found one day ftp://wapdomainz.com/pub/How%20to%20insta...ut%20a%20CD.pdf

hey Sal, you could also use ifdown eth0 ifup eth0 No you're not thne only one concerned about security. Most of us run a router with pinholes (closed) which is probably what Jonnyv has, or some kind of software firewall. I use Mandrake Security Single Network Firewall, and haven't had any problems yet

or even easier as root hostname PutYourNewHostnameHere

Although walmart has preloading Linux on PC's for a while now, the idea of this happening in New Zealand Was until now a distant dream http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?s...thold=0&lang=en anounces that you ccan now buy PC's from Dick Smith Electronic right here in NZ preloaded with Mandrake 8.2 here's the info http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefron...uct/View/XC1696

wget -c that does it for me

reminds me of the giant marshmallow man in ghostbusters :lol:

for a mail server I would suggest postfix. its on the cds and is just as strong and fast as sendmail

lol like spelling whatawhata :-) yeah, I don't think that will ever make it to a dictionary :-) by the way... its pronounced fot (as in bot) a fot a fot-a-fot-a

yes it can be done. firstly .. don't use lynx, use wget for the download use lynx to get a url perhaps, but then use wget to download next check this out man nohup nohup means ignoring hangup signals. try this: nohup wget -c http://domain/filename.iso & then close putty, log back on with putty then do: ps -U myusername and looky looky ... wget is still running :-) go to where you downloaded the file and do: ll filename.iso a few times and you will notice the file is getting bigger if you want to watch the progress (as I often do) try this tail -f nohup.out here you will see all the normal output that would normally show up on screen

I'd have to vote for Mozilla, or Mutt (of course)

you could even run a simple rpc (remote procedure call) but I think I would still agree with dturley use ssh.

AFAIK you will have to boot from the MDK cd in rescue mode, then reinstall lilo. when you install 98 it *will* over-write the master boot record :-(

he he now I have MDK9.0 on my pII 300

then you could try e-smith ... that's what I use for my clients with exactly your problem
