Not sure about this.. but

timeout="0"

should be

timeout=0

Might want to give it some larger value so you can hit the spacebar real quick.

Also, you can remove all those extra entries and leave only the WIndows XP and Linux entries. Just backup the file first so you can get to them if you should need them (never have myself).

Finally, try doing a search for

lilo.conf timeout

to find postings where people have posted their lilo.conf file..

do a search for

fstab /dev vfat

for examples..

You can do this in google too

Here's another idea..

Try this site, it will give you sources and urpmi commands to type..

For those of you who are interested in TV Tuner cards or have an upcoming interest, here is a well kept tutorial on the topic.

I came across it while reading a recent slashdot discussion on the topic..

http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/...tid=185&tid=188

I totally agree with this. I used to do it when I had more time and made my signature in that group = the mandrake users org.

There's some book out there on "10 Linux projects" to do. You might get more out of it if you have to do some projects rather than buying a reference book. Most of what you need to know is usually online... or in the manuals.

Steve, hows the reliability? 101hosting, which I use now, has a problem every week and is always down and doesn't answer its mail.

Thanks for the suggestoins... I'll be checking these out. I really need the reliability as I transfer my work to and from home via ftp. Since I'm programming in a windows environment, complete with IIS (gag!) I just need a simple ftp. But I also want email and reliable email. If I end up moving to a different city, I don't want to have to have all my contacts and web memberships under my local email (roadrunner). Big help guys!

Can anyone recommend a hosting service which is

1. dirt cheap

2. but reliable

3. is linux

4. has ftp/email/web/cgi scripting/support php

5. has an interface like cpanel or something similar for web management

For a low low cost per year?

Thanks!

Why don't you post your /etc/X11/XF86Config file here for all to see.. ?

I would define your needs with a little more clarity. Give some examples of the flow... you are kinda brief with the info..

While the scripting can be fun and a good learning experience, have to ask why you are renaming the files? Period or no.. is there something wrong with their current file name?

Glad to hear :)

I'm not real familiar with samba but linux sets file system priveledges on startup by reading the /etc/fstab file. Partition entries in this file are all the partititions and file systems that are mounted on startup. Try doing some searching on the board for

fstab /dev vfat

vfat = fat32

Did you ever solve this? I don't have a solution but curious..

Did you introduce the path error when you copied the path from your browser? A space perhaps?

If you guys figure it out, maybe you can update the FAQ to add a GRUB section?

Oops! Serves me right for _______________ ... (insert excuse of the day)

Check this out... looks like its more up your alley..

It may be based on the distro. When I wrote the faq I was supporting two mandrake versions..

Probably, so if you are processing unicode characters you need to look into unicode routines. Time to google on unicode and java input la la de dah :)

Ok, your problem is that you are not defining the mephis partition in your mandrake boot manager. Here's what you do..

make a mephis entry defining /dev/hdb3 so it mounts.

rerun lilo as root

Linux lilo requires the altern linux distro's root partition to be defined so it can find the vmlinuz file.

Read the faq link I sent you for more info..

How about your /etc/fstab file?
