Hi all, I have just installed Mandrake 10.1 and updated all the software and installed Evolution 2.0 from URPMI, I have started up Evolution so that I can set it up to check my mail that resides on an Exchange Server (Exchange 2003) on the second screen where you can set up the type of way to get your email there is no option to select Exchange server, is there something I missed, I know that a connector was required in 1.5 but I thought that it was not required in 2.0, someone help me please :) Managed to solve the problem, I found the RPM for the Exchange Connector, now I´m getting an error; Could not connect to Evolution Exchange backend process: No such file or directory.

MDK 10 still has the same problem, I'm having the same problem as described with both 9.2 and 10 :( Has anyone found a solution at all?

Hi all :) I got MDK 10 working on a standard PATA drive in my PC (2gig Maxtor). I decided to nuke that install and install MDK on a 20 gig partition on my 2x 120 gig Seagate drives which have been setup on an Abit NF7-S motherboard in RAID 0 (64kb clusters). I set up a 20gig partition on this drive with Partition Magic to an ext3 format. Restarted the PC with the first CD in the drive went through the setting up the language, keyboard etc. I get to a screen just before the partitioning screen (where you can choose to take over the windows partitions etc). This screen tells me that: Drive HDG is to corrupt for me the error is unknown partition table format on disk /dev/hdg. It has an option to write over the drive or keep the data, Obviously I need to keep the data, so I choose no. The next screen I choose to do my own partitioning, the options that I have are this: hda /mnt/win_c which is a PATA 120gig Seagate drive hdb /mnt/win_c2 which is a PATA 2gig Maxtor drive hde /mnt/win_c3 which I would think is the Raid 0 drives, but it only shows up as a 204 Gig drive and there’s no 20 gig partition that I put aside for the install. The next thing is kinda weird it has another drive which shows up as: hdg empty size 111 gig with cylinder 0 to 232580. Anyone able to help me please? I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this so please take your time with me ;) Cheers Nathan

Hi, I've been trying to get Mandrake 9.2 to work on my Raid0 drives. I got it working with the drives while not in Raid0. The setup I have is this: Nforce NF7-S v1.2 board with SATA Sil3112 controller on it, 2 x Seagate 120 gig drives, I have the drives partitioned up and currently running Win XP the drive is obviously 240 gig in size and partitioned up in roughly 50 gig partitions. I boot off the downloaded Mandrake 9.2 disk and go through the prompts until I get to the option to either let Mandrake autopartition the drive or manually partition, now as I want to keep Windows and run a dual boot I choose to run the manual partition. The next step is to choose the partition to install the OS but I can't choose the appropriate partition as it is detecting my drives separately. I realise now that I will have to install the SIL3112 driver for Mandrake 9.2 but I can't find one at all, Silicon Image has one on their website but that is only for Redhat 8 and 8.1 and also Suse. Has anyone had any luck finding drivers, if they have can they share with me how they got them installed? Cheers Nathan

I'm a noob to Linux as well, glad you managed to get things working, I have a Nvidia card so I couldn't help you with the install of the ATI card as I have never tried to install there drivers. Your problem with installing Mozilla and Aim won't be a problem as long as you follow the instructions on installing RPM's here (as long as they are RMPs :) Good luck

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and also a bit of a noob to Linux :) Any way I have been trying to install the Linux drivers for my Gigabyte NIC, and well it's been driving me nuts... ...I'm following the install instructions and installing it onto MDK 9.2, my rig is as follows: Abit NF7-S v1.2 Nforce 2, AMD 2400xp, Albatron GF4 TI4800SE, 2x 120 gig Seagate SATA drives and one 120 gig Seagate ATA. All drivers for the Nforce board and G card are installed. Install instructions are below from the NIC drivers readme file... INSTALLATION ================ Install linux driver as following command: 0. tar xvzf sk98lin.tgz, then goto sk98lin dir. 1. make all 2. insmod sk98lin.o 3. ifconfig eth0 up 10.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.0.0.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\ ^^^^^^^^\ IP NETMASK Now eth0 should active, you can test it by "ping" or get more information by "ifconfig". If tested ok, continue the next step. The "ls /proc/net/sk98lin" command will show you the interface name to be eth0, eth1 etc. 4. cp sk98lin.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net 5. Add the following lines to /etc/modules.conf: alias eth0 sk98lin 6. Run "netconfig" or "netconf" to create configuration script ifcfg-eth0 located at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or create it manually. 7. Driver will automatically load and configure at next boot time. *** I get to part 4 after everything seems to be working and I type in what it says to do cp sk98lin.... and it then throws back this message: cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/uname -r/kernel/drivers/net': no such file or directory. The install etc was all done as root, I get the ip address etc and can ping other computers on the network. Any help appreciated :) Cheers Nathan
