You cannot write in an ISO image. If you wanna create an iso mount the 3 isos then copy-paste the contents of the three isos in a temp directory. Then create an iso with this directory using mkisofs. And the Mandrake installer should definitively look for the other isos .. that thing drives me nutS!!!!!!!!;paskjdf;rfd But only install KDE (don't select other packages) and that should work). After the first boot mount the three isos (fstab) and tell urpmi too look inthere instead of the cds. This is what I did to install other packages. If you want more details let me know here .. I'll be glad to help you. MOttS

Forgot something. If you guys wanna share files with the firewall (fw - the machine on which Shorewall is running and ICS is enabled) then /etc/shorewall/policy should look like that #SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL LIMIT:BURST #Allow computers to surf the www masq net ACCEPT fw net ACCEPT #Allow computers on the local network to communicate masq fw ACCEPT fw masq ACCEPT masq masq ACCEPT #Block all request from the net and everything else not specified above net all DROP all all REJECT Don't forget that this file is read from the top to the end by the Shorewall binary. So don't put anything below net all DROP and all all REJECT because the line you add will be ignored. M :P ttS

You guys have to play with /etc/shorewall/rules or /etc/shorewall/policy if you wanna use Samba. The ICS wizard enable Shorewall (the default firewall .. you know that) and ports 137 to 139 tcp & udp are blocked by default. The best way to configure Shorewall is to allow NOBODY to connect from the net to your network BUT to allow anyone from the local network to connect to another within the local network... to do so read and understant /etc/shorewall/policy. Here is mine: #SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL LIMIT:BURST masq net ACCEPT fw net ACCEPT masq masq ACCEPT net all DROP all all REJECT LINE #1 : Allow people on the local network (masq) to access servers on the net (like http site, ftp, ssh, kazaa, etc, etc, etc.) LINE #2 : Allow the machine on which Shorewall is running (fw) to access the net like any other machines on the local network (masq) LINE #3 : Allow computers on the local network to connect to each other (SAMBA !) LINE #4 : Block those from the net who try to connect to your network LINE #5 : Block anything else you didn't think of. Now restart shorewall (type 'service shorewall restart') and try to ping a machine on your network .. it's going to work for sure! :wink: MOttS

Maybe the were talking about this:

still the 2.4 serie. Look: [gd@localhost gd]$ uname -a Linux localhost 2.4.22-1mdk #1 Mon Aug 25 11:19:10 EDT 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

OH .. you can ping Google. Nice. Your computer isn't able to guess the DNS IP. You have to give it to him. So enter your DNS IP (provided by your ISP) in /etc/resolv.conf. Mine look like that: Don't know why the Wizard in the MCC don't ask for those... You can also enter them is /etc/pppoe.conf (if you are using ADSL connection). Here is the section for me: MOttS

I guess it depends which desktop you are using· In KDE simply open KDE Control Center (kcontrol) and do: Accessibility->Keyboard Shortcuts Now select the Command Shortcuts and browse through the menu to find your app. Then clic Presonnalize and hit the key you want. Don't forget to clic Apply! As simple as that. You can probably do that with MenuDrake but I'm not sure here.. MOttS

Hi eska Welcome!!!!!!!!!! You have to add it to the file /etc/modules. The MDK firewall is tricky. If you install it and enable it, it usually act ok. But then, if you disable it from the Mandrake Control Center (MCC), everything is blocked. So you could do 2 things: 1) Enable the firewall in the MCC 2) Read and understand the file /etc/shorewall/routestopped. At the end of this file you should add something like this (your mileage may vary depending of your setup): so that when you stop the firewall, you still can access the web via your internet interface. Hope this help MOttS

:banghead: Don't worry .. I didn't know either :mystilol:

Why did you use Squid? In the Mandrake Control Center (formely known as MCC) you can clic Network&Internet and then Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). This way, all the clients behind your linux machine would have access to the net (port 80) and all the others (port 25 and 110 as well). It's either I don't understand your setup or you didn't know about the ICS wizard in the MCC. :? Trying to understand MOttS

Well, not much 1) The display manager selection (KDM, MdkKDM, GDM, etc.) is now done in System in the MCC rather than Material .. still the wrong place to me. Other than that the MCC hasn't changed. 2) All the apps are updated (Shorewall 1.4.6b, KDE 3.1.3, Apache 2.0.45-5mdk, OpenOffice 1.0.3-2mdk, etc...) It was all set at first boot. But it is not working .. maybe have a problem with my hardware I don't know. The whole thing is done from scripts (+ a patch in the kernel). The script is suspend-scripts-1.6-1mdk. From rpmdrake-remove: So from the KDE menu nothing happens (don't know why). If I open a console and type pmsuspend the monitor goes crazy for a sec or two and then the hard drive goes off. However the CPU fan still turns. If I move the mouse, the screen reapear as it was before (with all app and such). If I press the reset button it just reboot as normal .. no the suspend to disk thing does not really work for me (for now). I have read somewhere we have to append something in lilo for it to work (append="resume /dev/hdaX") but this isn't there as we talk. Well, to me they still have to work a bit on that feature. I was using Gentoo before installing MDK 9.2 rc1 and this distro didn't detect my camera right away. I had to manually put my stuff in fstab and mount it manually. In MDK this is all done automatically .. no need to actually know what the OS does.. funny. well, that's it. MOttS

:mystilol: You have more than one? :mystilol: That was the power supply then. Why can you just bring the Antec back to where you purchased it? Just tell that it's not working anymore and cry a little .. they will replace it for you. Those things usually comes with a warranty don't they? I know you purchased this computer recently so that may worth the try. I think your monitor is going bye bye .. NOOOOOOO (sorry). With the money you save by asking to replace your Antec PSU, buy a second hand monitor. I bought mine (17 inches NEC MultiSync E700) about 2 years ago 100$ (Canadian! .. so about 70$ US) and it is still running great! MOttS

Wow .. it's either the MoBo or the PSU then. But since you got problems with the transfo behind your house I guess it's your PSU. The tranfo is there to transform higher voltage to smaller voltage (120 Volts, 60Hz required by all electronics components like fridg, oven, light .. and computer). Now if the transfo pushed 130 V - 70Hz or 110 V - 50 Hz for a couples of minutes before to burn it may have damaged your PSU. Of couse this is just an idea but that may have happened. Well, let us know ! MOttS

Such as what? It will take a couple of sec to install so give it a try and see if the options you want were compiled in by PLF. If not then uninstall and continue searching.. My 2 cents MOttS

I have MPlayer 0.91-5plf. No problem with quicktime at all. Add PLF to your urpmi database and install it. You don't need to compile it really. Here is the FAQ you need: http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4551 MOttS

I would try this from the Linux machine. Knowing the IP of every Win machine, one by one do nmblookup -A WinIP (list the NAME of the WinIP machine) smbclient -L NAME -I WinIP (list the shares of the NAME machine at WinIP) smbclient //NAME/share -I WinIP (Connect to one share on the NAME machine) If you cannot connect this way, the GUIs will not be able too. MOttS

Hi fdservices Welcome ! We need a bit more details to help you man. What did you try exactly? Did you play with any GUI in Linux or only smbclient to see/connect to Win32 machines? Did you write your workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf? Give us some more details! MOttS

hi guys A computer only need the mobo, ram and a power supply to boot. It does not even need a HD, Cards (sound, video, etc..), cdrom/dvd, etc. So if the computer reboot itself while playing in the bios, the problem is one of those things. I would try to remove all extra stuff first like cdrom/dvd, soundcard and HD. Now reboot and play in the bios. If it does not reboot then the problem is one of those element. If you still have a problem then I would play with the ram (remove one stick etc..). Third I would try another power suply. And finally ... when you have changed the ram and the power supply (just swich with another computer for the test) and nothing is pluged in the mobo, you REALLY have to change the mobo. Computers sucks when this kind of thing happens. Good luck bvc MOttS

Good old Konq.

If those 2 pcs have eth0 then they should already have IPs (check with ifconfig as root). Now on the 9.2cooker computer, install SSHD (type 'urpmi ssh-server') and from the 8.0 computer just connect to it: in a console type 'sftp 9.2cookerIP'. Enter your username and password on the 9.2cooker machine and bammm... you are logged in. Now this is just like an FTP session with GET and PUT. If you are using KDE you can even type 'fish://9.2cookerIP' in Konqueror and you should be promted for your username and password on the 9.2cooker machine. As simple as that.. and secured. MOttS

Hey thanks guys for the little SuspendToDisk tut!! I discovered something new about urpmi. Is this new or I just didn't use RPM distro for too long? .. We can now select which package we want in KDE based package. Let me explain. Usually, if one wants Kmail he has to install kdenetwork. In the same time, he get lots of other shit like korn, kget, etc, etc, etc. But now, we can choose which package we want in the KDE* packages. LOOK: There we go for Kmail: Wow .. finally! MOttS

Hey .. WHAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZUP! Ok so I did trash Gentoo and replaced it with MDK 9.2 rc1. The install is WOW .. this boot screen is WOW .. and 'till now it is really stable. I used the hard drive install method .. no need to burn cds. That was fast and easy. So far pretty much nothing has changed since 9.1 exept the installation and the boot screen. There is also a 'Suspend to disk' option in the KDE menu.. doesn't work right away though. My digital camera was automatically detected my Linux .. even created a /mnt/camera by itself with the entry in fstab... I'm impress really. Look at that: The supermount thing is still f'ed up on my system.. nothing new. So here are 4 screenshots for your pleasure community! The install screen .. notice the 9.2 rc1 The boot screen .. WOW KDE 3.1.3 .. bleading edge ;-) Wow .. bleading edge too .. MOttS

No actually I'm in Linux.. using AMSN. But I can still connect to talk to my friends.. I'm just getting this message once in while .. strange. http://amsn.sourceforge.net MOttS

Starting from TODAY I keep getting this message from messenger@microsoft.com : This basically say "You Messenger version is outdated. Please visit our site to upgrade". WOW! The open source community have to find a work around because we will not be able to connect soon! MOttS
