Isn't distance a factor?

Don't waste time on the opera forums, there is a "LOT" of traffic in the news-groups compared to the web forum.

So basically you had deleted the code that the proxy address was trying to read?

I guess the consensus is that 'g' as in gnome or to be more accurate gnu is correct... hmmm the rest of you were no help

That's a NVIDIA right? Are you using the NVIDIA drivers?

Could it be talking to a Time server somewhere? If it thinks you are in a different time zone and it talks to a time server, it will set it incorrectly. Try taking a peek at the Mandrake Control Center (look in menu) and select System and then Date & Time..

Is it JIMP as in JIMMY? Or is it GIMP as GUI? Always want to mention this free package but haven't a clue how to pronounce it :roll:

Use File/preferences/Mouse & Keyboard to do scripting. Some of that stuff is working some is still under development.. Also, you can check out the opera.linux newsgroups.. Have fun :)

Try deleting your extended partition and recreating. Since you are wiping it, it shouldn't matter. Or you could try formatting the partition manually on your own before running the red hat installer.

Try inserting a 3rd partition between C and D and see if it still finds it or does it become E: :)

After redoing your windows partition will diskdrake work with it? I'm wondering if your partition table is goofy now?

You might want to consider buying a new/used hard drive so you can put backups or linux on the second drive and leave your windows on the first..

Go here and burn the iso for a partimage bootable cd..

/anon_ftp/pub/Partimage.ISO

It's about 4-6 months old though..

wonder why your sane plustek version is different from mine? I got mine right off the web site for plustek. By the way, is it installed already or not? I've done this installation successfully, so you might want to back and re-read my post..

To add more to this.. diskdrake doesn't seem to require the reboot if you have booted from a CD such as during installation. But if you run diskdrake while you have your partitions mounted, you need to reboot.

Also check out compusa as that same board goes for 59 there with a 1 year guarantee for 4.95. Best Buy seems expensive.. and who needs a life time guarantee?

In my experience, if you modify the partition table (add, change, delete a partition), you need to immediately reboot after saving the changes. You can't add a partition and then attempt to format it. After reboot, you can then format the partition.

If LFS allows you to use ext3, it may be better since its a journaled file system.

Here's my swap entry

/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

Your's looks good... so that begs the question..

1. Have you formated it perhaps?

2. Is it still there? (the partition)

Open a console and go into diskdrake and set up your swap again.. make sure its formatted.

Why did your old computer crap out?

If I recall, you need an extra element to run your scanner off a scsi link rather than a usb link.

Here's some suggestions..

1. Sane is a package that allows linux to talk to "a" scanner. Any scanner that it supports. You need to verify that sane supports your scanner first. Do this by reading the sane website.

2. Do not log in to root to do the compile. You do not need to have root access until you perform the final step which is "make install". Go to here and look for the tutorial on Installing software. This will teach you how. Get the latest files from sane and plustek website before starting.

3. Make sure sane is not already installed. You can open a console and type

su <- login as root

rpm -qa | grep sane

rpm -qa | grep plustek

and see if they are already installed. I believe Mandrake installs them by default. If already installed, then I'm not sure why you are installing. If that is the case, go back to step one :)

4. If you do compile sane, read the sane and plustek website and find instructions on how to do so. Then follow them religiously.

Good luck!

I went to here..

http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/archive/plus...-0_36_38.tar.gz

downloaded the tar.gz

and uncompressed it with

tar xzf plustek-module-0_36_38.tar.gz

Note that it uncompresses directly into the current directly instead of making a subdirectory. It should be uncompressed into the Sane directory. So, uncompress teh sane package first and then drop the plustex.tar.gz into the uncompressed sane directory and uncompress it there.

Just to delve into this deeper, how does su to root differ from an actual login of root? I can still delete all my files for example, right? What is the extra danger of logging in as root vs doing an su?

Why don't you post your ~/.wine/config file and also, did you know that 9.1 has wine already? do you have 2 version running?

if you want them to be available for everyone, you can put them in /etc/profile.d as well..

Do you have libgmp3-4.1.2-1mdk installed?

Open a console and type

rpm -qa | grep mp3

and look...

also, you may be missing a codec..

Opera 7.11 has mouse gestures and also allows you to configure them (assign actions to movements)..

true..
