Unfortunately that was the first place I looked. I went through all the directories in / and found nothing. My partitions for linux are /, /usr,/home, 2 windows partitions (/mnt/windows and /ddrive), plus /music and /software. All except windows are reiser and both windows (dual boot with win 2000) are fat32. All I can think is that konq does something somewhere on / when I copy files. I did an experiment by checking / before and after a copy and / decreased by the copy size. I am using 2.6.3.7.

I still can not figure out where the disk space went. I ran 'du' on my / directory and carefully went over the output and cannot find where over 700MB went, which also happens to be the size of the files I copied using konqueror! Google hasn't been of help yet. It certainly seems to be a konqueror problem and it seems to be filling up my disk goodness knows where! Anybody with ideas would be a great help. Thanks.

That's what I always thought, but something is there that does not appear anywhere on my system. Perhaps my / partition is not full and only thinks it is? This is most confusing and I wonder how to get this fixed. What is odd is that hd space disappears when I copy with konq, but if I boot up into a console it does not.

I've run into a messy problem after I used konqueror to copy files from one partition to another (I'm reorganizing my hd's), about 500MB worth. I noticed then that my / partition became full and the culprit is /proc/kcore at 512MB. My problem is how to clear that out. Rebooting does not clear it and I have no idea how to free up my space on /. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am now very low on disk space on /. I have since been using cp from a console (not booting into kde. Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid I can't help you, but I also had a USB problem with the 2.6.3.13 kernel. I have a USB scanner that worked fine with the 2.6.3.7 kernel. When I upgraded to 2.6.3.13 it no longer worked. I'm back to 2.6.3.7 on officiaL.

I've noticed that there were these Microsoft ads, but I never paid the least bit of attention to them. It's hard for me to understand why anyone going to Linux Today is going to bother reading a Microsoft ad. For that matter who all looks at these ads anyway.

The route is: MCC -> Server Wizards -> Configure Samba. The first question asked is the workgroup name. Did you install drakwizard? It is not one of the default packages (goodness knows why). If you have all your samba packages installed you can also go to localhost:901 to configure samba.

One thing to be careful about using urpmi --auto-delect, if you have cooker among your sources you can easily hose your system.

Oops! My bad, found it on cooker.

Unfortunately I have none of these! I have libstdc++5. I have tried urpmi libstdc++2.10, but it won't find anything. My sources are CD1,2,3 and contrib from nluug.nl site.

I had a nice Community edition of 10 running and then burned the 10 official cds and did a nice install of 10 Official. However when I went to set up my scanner (scanner works fine) I could not install iscan (I use an Epson 1660) which I prefer to use with gimp. I am using the same rpm of iscan-1.5.2 that I previously used, but I get a dependency problem with libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. Anyone know where I may find those files? rpmfind did not help. Thanks in advance.

Have you installed drakwizard? If so in MCC -> server wizards -> configure samba. It's fairly straightforward there as I recall. Make sure you have the same workgroup name as the win machine.

First, I've never had great success auto-detecting printers, but you do have to configure Cups. In Printerdrake make sure you use the tab "configured on other machines" and also make sure you configure Cups. Have you configured Samba and can you connect to the Win XP machine? (run smbclient -L "win machine name" as root). If you run smbclient as above as root (with the name of your Win machine) it should show your printer as one of the shares. If it does the problem is with Cups and if it doesn't the problem is with Samba. To check the workgroup you can enter localhost:901 in the URL field of your browser for the Samba admin program or use the Samba server wizard in MCC (make sure you have installed drakwizard, it's not done by default). Cups can also be configured using localhost:631 in the URL field.

You could install the CE from the download and then change your sources to the offical sites and urpmi urpmi then urpmi --auto-select and then the urpmi kernel (forget the number now) and you are using Official. That is what I did and it works like a charm. Back in April bvc, I believe, posted a list of this with the keys.

The package you want to delete is perl-Mail-SpamAssasin-2.63-2mdk.i586. Delete it with urpme or rpm -e. Did you try "whereis perl-Mail-SpamAssasin" from cli?

Don't forget that you will probably have to go to xmms preferences (options>pref) and make sure for audio i/o output plug-in you have alsa picked, the default is oss.

Yes it does look great and, as is often the case, the simple CLI approach is easier than running through menus!

Found libmp3lame.so.0 anyone know if this is the same as libmp3lame.so that audacity wnats? I will try it.

Thanks, Audacity is quite nice. Now if I can only find libmp3lame.so so I can also encode to mp3.

I'm putting my record collection on my computer to make cds, but I'd also like to be able to encode the wav files into mp3 or ogg vorbis. I can get grip to encode from cds, but not files. Any ideas on how to encode these files? Thanks in advance.

RPMs are a royal pain. Yast drove me nuts trying to install Mplayer. Urpmi helps a lot, but if you have ever used Debian you find that the whole installation and upgrade process is much smoother. It would be wonderful if other distors had the equivalent of stable, testing, and unstable that Debian has. One problem, I assume, is that this makes no sense for a commercial product. How would Suse or Mandrake make money if all you had to do is a dist-upgrade?

I have a question here: why such large /usr partitions? I have about 2.5GB which is more than enough for my software. My basic setup is / about 1GB /usr about 2.5 /home about 500MB +other data partitions for music, photos, writing, etc. I share these partitions with other distros and other users. Tese are where all my disk space goes.

Mac Windows 98, ME, 2000 Mandrake 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 10.0CE Red Hat 8.0, 9.0 Suse 9.0 Debian Woody, Sid. Mandrake 9.2 is my main system and is rock solid and 10.0 is on my laptop. I may try Suse 9.1.

9.2 has been very solid for me, besides I can't install 10.0ce because of my EZ drive on hdb, where 9.2 is. 9.2 does all I want and does it well and the 10.0 on my laptop is still not so hot, even with all the updates. I'll wait for final.

A known problem with some cdrom drives, boot from cd2, it will then ask you to install cd1, do so and you're in business.
