GOOD! In your original lilo.conf you have boot=/dev/hdb7 while you should install lilo in /dev/hda. This is why it didn't work. For the 'nothing in /boot' ... did you create a seperate /boot partition when you first install MDK? I guess this is why you got the fatar error. You actually had to mount it in the chrooted environment. MOttS

Hi mtweidmann Here is what I would do with your problem. 1) Boot cd1 of Mandrake 9.1 (your dvd should do the trick) 2) After the boot, press F1 and type 'rescue' 3) At the menu, select 'Go to console' 4) At the console, mount your partition on with lilo.conf reside. That should look like that: mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk 5) Change the root directory as follow chroot /mnt/disk /bin/bash 6) Edit lilo so that you install Lilo in the MBR of the FIRST HD (boot=/dev/hda and NOT boot=/dev/hdb7). Something like that: 7) Now run Lilo at the console and see if there is any error. lilo -v 8 ) Type 'exit' to exit the temporary chrooted environment and 'reboot' to .. hum .. reboot. You should see lilo now =) HTH MOttS

This is a relatively new camera. I doubt you'll find a driver for that. You could try gPhoto2. According to their website your camera isn't supported but LOTS of Olympus cameras are .. so chances that the internal OS of the camera is the same are great. Try ! http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/ You can download RPM here: http://www.rpmfind.net MOttS

Hi jeanrev I have check on the Turboprint website and found this: http://www.turboprint.de/manual/turboprint...nt-3.html#ss3.1 According to this webpage, you don't have to go through all the steps you wrote upthere (your first post). Actually you have to first install the RPM as follow: bash-2.05b$ su Password: bash-2.05b# rpm -ivh turboprint-1.xx.rpm and second you have to start the printer setup tool "xtpsetup" to choose a printer driver. So in the same console type xtpsetup and choose your printer .. Good luck MOttS

Yes you are right. But you are just a little grain of sand on a large beach. I would not worry about that .. especially if you are not the 'ripper' that is the first one to share stuff (mp3, iso image of the last Windows version, games, etc etc etc). If you share 'Metallica - enter sandman' and like million other people share this file also then I don't see why they would bother with you. Personnaly I don't mind. Take it easy. MottS

Wow, didn't now the Turboprint setup was so sofisticated. Ok, first of all, did you try to set your printer from the Mandrake Control Center before? If you didn't, look inthere, there is a nice wizard that will guide you through the necessary steps to configure your printer. If the MCC does not recognizes your printer then YES you have to use the Turboprint driver. The procedure your copy-pasted here is pretty straight forward. Basically you have to open up a console (you know the black thing that look like DOS). Then you have to type in what they told you to type. Basically type xhost + su root export DISPLAY=:0.0 cd turboprint-1.xx ./setup Of course unzip the driver before (type 'tar xvfz turboprint-1.xx.tar.gz'). Replace the xx by the version number. The setup windows should appear and follow the instruction ... Isn't simple enought? MOttS

I suppose you have been at those places. If you are completely STEALTH from the internet then you are not vulnerable at all. Sleep easy man! I have no idea here. But if I get your IP and find an open port and exploit that port (like Windows file sharing .. good old port 139), is this illegal? This is exactly what they do actually .. so I don't think this is legal. Whatever .. you are STEALTH so no problem here. MOttS

Well, you basically have to boot the floppy (the one with the network.img on it) and follow the instruction. From here, let's call the computer with 2 working cdroms computer #1 and the one on which the cdroms aren't working computer #2. BUT, since both computers are close to each other, why not just unplug a cdrom from computer #1 and put it in computer #2? Now you can install MDK. After the intall just put it back in computer #1. If you want to install/upgrade packages you can still use the power of urpmi. Look at this. HTH MOttS

Hey, I have a simpler idea. Instead of sending you an email when there is a new file (or one was deleted), why not just opening Konqueror (or Mozilla or whatever) to the FTP site. This way the user would be warn in real time! No need to check mails! So instead of if [ "${newfiles}" != "" ]; then echo "Files uploaded since last log:" echo "$newfiles" | awk '{printf "t"$NF"n"}' elif [ "${removedfiles}" != "" ]; then echo "Files deleted since last check:" echo "$removedfiles" | awk '{printf "t"$NF"n"}' else echo "No changes in remote dir since last log." fi What about if [ "${newfiles}" != "" ]; then konqueror $FTPDIR & elif [ "${removedfiles}" != "" ]; then konqueror $FTPDIR & fi The browser (Konq in my case) could even put in a variable on top of the script. .. my 2 cents since I'm unable to modify the script so that it sends mails automatically :-( MOttS

SpaceCadet, on your Linux box, put the Aru's script in your home (let's call it /home/SpaceCadet/Aruscript) and make sure it is executable (as specified by ab2ms). Now open a console, become root (type 'su' and enter your password) and configure the system so that the Aru's script is run every 10 minutes. To do so, open the crond file (type 'crontab -e') and enter the following line into it: */10 * * * * /home/SpaceCadet/Aruscript Now save it (press Esc and type ':wq'). Make sure crond is running by typing service crond status The output should be obvious if it is running. Now the only thing you have to do is to modify the script a little so that it email you something if any new files have been uploaded. But you know Aru now .... :lol: HTH MOttS

ARU ... You have the BA$H MASTER!!!!!!!!!! Your script works like crazy man! Didn't know wget was able to list directories on remove FTP site. I thought it was only for HTTP stuff. This is why I suggested the 'ftpscript.txt' thing. Whatever it works!!!!!!!! Lucky SpaceCadet. MOttS

Some ideas: http://isp-lists.isp-planet.com/isp-linux/...4/msg00848.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ar...2003/07/3/73950 http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_...Q_20647308.html The ftp script could be Not sure if it works 'tho. The rest of the crond job could compare the old log.txt with the new one and warns you when something changes. You could just sleep while waiting for a 'beep' .. lucky you. I wanna job like that!!! well .. this is just an idea :lol: MOttS

What about a crond job ? ARU .. WHERE ARE U? M 8) ttS

Humm.. no. Specially if you run Linux 8) MOttS

You have to either run a 'share' level security or 'user'. Now, if you are asked for a password then you run a 'user' level security samba. Read the following and modify your /etc/samba/smb.conf according to your needs. SOURCE: The 'OLD DOCS' button top right of this forum ;-) MOttS

Hi. I don't know if it's going to work for you but here we go: http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?p=8433#8433 Tell us if it works! HTH MOttS

Can you burn from the command line? Here are the FAQs about that. If you can't burn from the command line, there is no way it works with a GUI since they all uses the command lines internally.. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4737 OR : http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=6665 Good luck! MOttS

What about dd then? Or assuming both HD (the old one and the new one) are in the computer, boot cd1 of Mandrake, press F1 and type 'rescue'. At the menu, select 'go to console'. Now you can use cp to copy the old drive to the new one... Or .. look for your Win software .. Maybe it was Ghost or DriveCopy? MOttS

I'm using partimage. Easy to use and free. You can even install a GUI if you want. I suggest you to download the bootable cd. http://partimage.org/ Good luck! MOttS

I don't thing there is a place where you can change it. However, you could just replace the stock 'kmenu.png' in the KDE dir for anything you need. Just rename your image (has to be 64x64 or something ..) for 'kmenu.png' and put it at the same place as the stock one and restart kicker. Don't forget to backup the original one! Something like: bash-2.05b$ su Password: bash-2.05b# locate kmenu | grep /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/ warning: locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/16x16/apps/kmenu.png /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/16x16/apps/kmenuedit.png /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/kmenu.png /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/kmenuedit.png /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/48x48/apps/kmenu.png /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/48x48/apps/kmenuedit.png /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/64x64/apps/kmenu.png bash-2.05b# cd /usr/kde/3.1/share/icons/crystalsvg/32x32/apps/ bash-2.05b# mv kmenu.png kmenu.png.bak bash-2.05b# mv kmenu_new.png kmenu.png bash-2.05b# pidof "kdeinit: kicker" 1208 bash-2.05b# kill 1208 bash-2.05b# exit exit bash-2.05b$ kicker & [1] 24572 bash-2.05b$ NOTE: On Gentoo, KDE is in /usr/kde/3.1/ so adjust the 'slocate' command to suit Mandrake. Hope this helps MOttS

Did you try to install the driver with the nVdia installer or an RPM? Here is a FAQ about the nVidia driver => http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4567 <= Good luck! MOttS

We have a FAQ about the architecture here on this board. Here we go: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=6388 Putting the 'msn' dir into /usr/local is just perfect. And then make a symlink to the 'amsn' executable in /usr/bin so that you can launch it from the command line. Personnaly I put it in my $HOME directory. Well, this is Linux so you can do pretty much whatever you want with YOUR system :P HTH MOttS

Then go through the install routine .. it's going to create the files needed in your $HOME.

I 'by-passed' the the soffice shortcut. Look into the program/ folder. In it there is an executable for all the soffice apps (scalc, swriter, etc..). You can do a symlink to those executable from your desktop if you want. Mine are there (Star office is in the 'Star Office' folders): "/home/gd/Programs/Star Office/program/scalc" "/home/gd/Programs/Star Office/program/swriter" HTH MOttS
