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!

Hi! I tried my advice today. I use mdk92 and it worked! The only thing is that you must be root... if you don't want to change some permissions on some device files... Another way should be to reduce the time the client waits for the answer of the DHCP server... For example, if one can tell to wait only 20 seconds instead of 120, it should be great... At the moment I don't know how to do... and if it is possible... Bye!

Hi! Do you use DHCP only? Set your network with Mandrake Control Center. Choose "expert mode". You should find an option named, "start on boot". Do not use this option. After the boot run as root ifup eth0 and your ethernet device should be up! To stop the network use I'm telling you to run these commands as root. Try also as user, but I'm not sure it will work! Let me know!

I can't say you 'Don't worry!' I can say you I'm maddening with DVDs You are not alone!!!

This also should be useful... http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=6665

Did you have a look at this FAQ? http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4737 Did you the symlink with /dev/cdrecorder?

If you still experience problems, try this way. When the CD starts and you see the initial splash, press ESC. Then type linux init 5 to have a graphical system, linux init 3 to have a text-only system. Are you running Mandrake Move on a laptop? One of my friends had a problem of kernel panic with a (new) laptop and Mandrake (9.2). Probably the right thing to do is the following. When the CD starts and you see the initial splash, press ESC. Then type linux noapic At the worst linux init 5 noapic or linux noapic init 3 Let we know!

I am sorry! I cannot play DVDs... :( The only thing I can do is to mount the disc as an iso9660 filesystem, the look into the video_ts folder for files .vob, then play it with mplayer, xine or whatsoever... In this way I can see the film, but no menus, language selection, subtitles are allowed... In a previous post I asked all the people the following question: what region is set you dvdrom? I know this can violate privacy... I don't know if that would be useful... I was planning to recompile the software, mplayer, libdvdcss and so on... Just to try, but now I am quite pessimist... :sad:

I have the same problem... I use Mandrake 9.2 Downloaded. But I have no solutions...

Today I had a look at this http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisorie...=MDKSA-2004:026 and I found that I updated the file hdlist.cz by Software Media Manager, but I can't find in MandrakeUpdate the following packages even though on my computer older versions of these packages are installed... Can anyone help me?
