Hi! KPPP configuration is simple. I have only to provide your ISP telephone number. Moreover I do not provide DNS address, KPPP finds them by it self... Bye!

So, your card still doesn't work after that, does it? Then the problem is probably due to the "wireless" part of it. But I've never tried such device (my PCMCIA is used to have USB 2.0), so I can't help you! Sorry!

To see if cardmgr is running, type in a console ps aux | grep card As root try do do that cd /etc/init.d ./pcmcia status this will tell you (more certainly) if PCMCIA services are running... Bye!

Hi! Look if there is cardmgr running... Did you also tried cardctl insert to insert the PCMCIA card?

5/10 I did not pass the exam... But my answer about kernel was correct!!! But some questions are too much open. Why should the average linux user know about SCO? Have a good day (or a good night, depending on your timezone)!

Hi! By default a NTFS partition can be read. On my computer I have Win Xp Pro and I read the data on it without any problem... About writing, the description of the kernel module to write onto a NTFS partition says: WARNING: Do not use this option unless you are actively developing NTFS as it is currently guaranteed to be broken and you may lose all your data! So, I think one should avoid writing on a NTFS partition. Moreover, I read in the developers site for NTFS support that the module works (more or less) with Windows NT since there are variouse versions of this file system (all not properly documented :oops). Bye :D

What sort of errors?

Hi! How can I see the CPU temperature (and similar stuff) in Windows? I know how to do it only in Linux... Thanks for your help! :D

Did you try nmap -P0

I know there is a linux native Acrobat Reader. I only wanted to experiment wine... Actually, now I prefer to use something open source to view PDFs... Thanks a lot! Bye!

Someone could tell me that the best way is to download and see... but I don't have a sufficiently fast network... What is the difference between kernel-source-2.4.22-30mdk.i586.rpm and kernel-2.4.22.30mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm ? Both should contain sources, am I wrong?

Mmm... If your program is installed but you don't have the installation CDs, then you have (probably, I'm not sure) to use the existing Windows partition and not the fake_windows... I have also Windows XP (Pro), but I did not tried that way. Using an existing Windows partition might dangerous (winesetup told me). But... what filesystem do you have on Windows? NTFS? If so and if you did not compile your kernel with NTFS write support (it is off by default) then Linux can't write to the Windows partition... So there will be no problems (no data loss I mean). Gook luck! Bye!

Hi! I use Mandrake 9.2 with a RPM downloaded from the site of Wine (www.winehq.com). Previously I tried to use the RPM coming from the installation CDs but none worked... To set up wine you should run (after installing the RPM from the Wine site), the command winesetup It is safe to create a fake_windows installation so that you can install your programs without touching your Windows installation (if you have one). Also I found that there are some problems opening something like the licence agreement of Acrobat Reader so that the installation is OK but you can't run the program... Anyway this problem is fixed if you create (with winesetup) a wine desktop instead of managed or unmanaged windows... I did not tried to use MS Office under wine. But some other programs work fine! Bye!

Hi! In the last days I found an interesting thing. Actually I did not tried it up to now, but it seems very interesting. We I'll have same time... Look at this man page: man ifplugd I read the preamble only, but I still stress we should take it into account. Bye! :D

Hi! Usually with KDE one right-clicks on the icon of the file, then chooses "modify file type". Here you can set the application that opens that file type by default... Let me know!
