Ran into this chart of wireless boards and their components, vendors, chipsets, so on. Thought it might be useful to others getting involved in wireless networking with linux..

Hey Thanks!

Just a suggestion :) Post your edit so others running into it will see the solution during a search!

spiedra, can you post a desktop snapshot of what it looks like? Just curiuos ;)

Best way I've found to do a direct copy is..

copy -pax source destination

this preserves the permissions..

Just a guess, the ext3 may have been disabled in this fashion so that the recovery process can restore data from the journal. However, the flags are not set to automate this process. Once you recover the journaled data, it may be ready to use again. I have no experience with ext3 perferring reiserfs, but they are both journeled filling systems.. best to do a good read of

man ext3

man mount

man whatever you can think of!

I did a post on mono a year or so ago, its good to know that its still going on. Kinda turns this new software technology from a m$hit only technology to a technology any platform can use :)

When you run the script is it running a c shell session?

Well I was trying to avoid buying winiso.. ;)

Yes, I know you can do loopbacks and know how to do so. But this iso was some odd headers and footers and neither mandrake, nero, or anything except WinISO has opened it. Faced with a choice of buying WInISO for $30 bucks I thought I would stop and ask you people if anyone knows of a linux alternative (smart program with gui that understands different ISO formats)? I've already trolled soureforge and freshmeat? Any ideas?

lol :) Take all your clothes off and then go to work and claim that you didn't realize it due to the broken fan and chemicals :)

I can't try Norton undelete on this partition because no win utility will locate it. Due to a weird partition table. Winxp sees it but won't mount it.. Just got a cpy of Partition Magic but whoever made an iso used Ez Creator and I can't read the iso image. Hasn't been my week at all, nope nope nope..

hmmm, is there something I'm missing? (need glasses?)

I deleted all the files, not the partition.. the partition still exists..

You can also go to the webmin web site and get the latest and greatest :)

bvc, this is a file delete, not a partition delete, get glasses (j/k) :)

I'll try the Emergency boot and see if it works. Problem may be that the partition will not be accessable due to its unusual location hdc9 in a linux extended partition. Will see what happens :)

I have a media partition, hdc9, that is a fat32 partition. Because I have an alias

alias media='cd /mnt/media'

and typed

rm -f media (was removing another folder called media)

It deleted all the files in my media partition.

I've spent the evening trying to find a way to restore these files. I need something that will start at the root and undelete everything. I haven't made any further changes to the partition by adding/deleting files.

I tried using winxp, figuring there is a tool I could use, but for some reason, it won't see the media partition (win2k could). This means it must be a linux solution.

I tried mundelete (sourceforge) but it didn't do anything I could detect and didn't explain why. I am downloading a Emergency Boot CD containing Norton Undelete. But I don't think it will find the media partition either. Hopefully I am wrong :(

Any ideas or anyone know how to get this back?

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as I have an SMC wireless card (I think its a dlink chip) and will be downloading 10 this weekend. Wish I could help you otherwise..

Another thing to consider about your original code is that you are making the pointer a long double. Only the array elements need to be a long double.

variable psi is a memory area that contains the address of the first array element.

Whatever you pick, don't let the search for the web tool make the project not happen :) been there done that!

For #5 with win98, you goofed :)

fdisk /mbr restores the mbr.

sys c: recopies the command.com. SO you now have a XP system with a 98 command.com on the drive..

If the floppy doesn't have fdisk on it, just get it from the win98 system. It's located in c:\windows\command (I think).

Simplest way to uninstall LILO after installing it, is lilo -U

This restores the prior boot loader, meaning the mbr is no longer dependant on having the linux distro present. You can then delete your linux partitions if you want. It's all explained under

man lilo

fdisk /mbr is also good if you have a win98 boot floppy with the fdisk.exe application on it. Then you can simply restore the mbr using that command. Same difference.

XFDrake, my bad :)

In HTML? I don't know how you can do that, but you can check out javascript and embed it in the html file. Also, you can check out imagemagick and have the web site auto reduce it if necessary.

There are some recent threads (this week) on this topic. Do a search for the word blank.

Some additional thoughts..

You upgraded... you may have had the NVIDIA driver installed in 9.1 but its not present in 9.2. But your XF86Config-4 file may still be trying to load the Nvidia driver.

Basically, you need to boot into text mode (see the other threads) and run XFConfig to reconfigure your video. It's not a Mandrake bug issue just a configuration issue. While running XFConfig, when ready, do the test. Note, you have to select an option in XFConfig, and then hit TAB to go to the DO button, then press ENTER.

Post here if you get stuck..

Sometimes what you can do is type

X

and then hit tab to see all the possibilities. I did the same thing and then tried with a capital X.

Just boot off of CD1, and when you get to the partition screen, select custom partitioning. After doing your partition work, click done so the partition table is updated. Then on the next screen you can either format or not, up to you. When ready, you can quit the installer, reboot or whatever..
