Hi.. i download updates ay work (at home i don't have an internet connection available) but i have never had a problem with dependencies when making updates... perhaps there were some bad files... or you just lacked some files... i always download the complete directory for updates.. i think if this is what you do... then may be you have some corrupted files... Greetings

is that a Community Edition or an Official Edition ?? Greetings

i also have downloaded this iso at work... at home i don't have an internet connection available... so i hope this doesn't want to connect to internet... can i compile from stage 1 with this cd??? is there a how-to.. or the how-to at gentoo.org is also applicable to this iso?? thanks for your comments

HI one question did mdk10 use supermount as a kernel patch?? link supermount www.chilehardware.cl/sirmax/supermount-2.0.4-2.6.3.patch.gz link submount (recommended by another person, but i haven't tried it yet) www.chilehardware.cl/sirmax/submount-0.9.tar.gz <-- i believe this one should be compiled also.... because if you download from kernel.org you have to patch with this patch for kernel 2.6.5 to apply the patch... inside /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < patch-selected and the do the make {menuconfig|xconfig} well hope that helps you.. it did for me :D using mdk92 as stated in my sig Bye and Greetings to all ;)

to be someone who is interested in speed, that filesystem is not very fast... i think you should try reiserfs or XFS (which i have been using for quite some time) now to test your disks on a console write hdparm -tT /dev/hdx well... bye hope you can speed-up your box ;)

somos millones :D

I hope it won't be intended as a breach of trust that I've made a printer friendly pdf version of this topic... :unsure: I hope you don't get angry about this... :unsure: you can download it from PDF.TAR.BZ2 Greetings... bye

it looks good, il will try it ;) thanks

Thanks Gowator that was very illustrative and i have a better idea on what to do if i get that question again... and i have never been argued like that before :D thanks again

Hi everyone... for quite some time i have been thinking about this... why almost always people recommend debian or red-hat as excellent server distribution.. i i always have said, why ???? all distros have similar software (differs on versions numbers mostly) you can create scripts in all of them... at home i have mdk functioning as a web server and i never have had any problems... well.. that was it... P.S.: perhaps this should be in off-topic, but i put it here ;)

i think this is a great idea... i think myself of a newbie that have read a bit, so i can do some stuff... and some other i cannot... i like the CLI, because i have started at computer with DOS 3.3 and then windows 3.1 came but i never liked it too much.... i think that is a really excellent idea to have 2 kind of FAQ's graphical and non-graphical... another thing that can do a great deal of help to newbies is to speak clearly, i mean, not just say RTFM or STFW or etc... but say how to do it... i have answered some post at foros.tux.cl and foro.powers.cl both in spanish.. and after i have posted them i have realized that my post wasn't really helpful because i didn't understand it (if i were a newbie)... so i elaborate some more... i think the most important thing to help newbies is to explain thing step by step.. even though we skip some steps when we do it in reality... well, that was all i wanted to say.. i hope this is readable.. (as i said before in another post english is not my first language) Thanks to all Greetings ;)

i asked because when i have installed kernel 2.6.5 vanilla supermount didn't work because there wasn't kernel support... now i have downloaded that patch and was thinking if there was another patch worth installing.. perhaps i didn't ask the right way, maybe because english it's no my first language... thanks for your reply :D

Hi, i have this question... What kernel patches are advisable to merge into a new kernel?? for security and better hardware support?? Thanks to all

i have solved the serial mouse problem... without knowing why, i have to load the module 8250 for it to work, despite i compiled serial support into the kernel Greetings...

all pkgs needed are installed because i have installed kernel-2.6.0-test9.5mdk.rpm via urpmi then reboot to see if there was no kernel panic :D then uninstalled it... then compiled 2.6.5 but, as i said before i have no idea how to see if the system is recognizing my serial mouse.... although i've been searching through google.com i have found nothing yet... thanks for your help

i had kernel 2.4.22-10mdk i have installed 2.6.0test9.5mdk and worked fine, but no nvidia driver (only compiling errors), no sound no mouse... uninstalled 2.6.0test9.5mdk compiled 2.6.5 from source on www.kernel.org compiled nvidia driver, OK but no sound no mouse... with sound i will check alsamixer.. i haven't checked that yet :unsure: for mouse i have changed XF86config-4 Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" any hint would be helpful...

i have tried your method and i have no sound nor mouse support... any pointer at this??? mouse serial on com1 sound sb awe 64 gold (this works perfectly on kernel 2.4.22-10mdk with alsa 1.0.4) i have also enabled alsa and sb support integrated on kernel how to fix the mouse, i don't have a clue, right now i'm searching with my friend www.google.com/linux :D thanks...

thanks i'll try this and will let you know tomorrow thanks again...

Hi, i don't know if i were clear enough... my question is... how/where can i add applications to start with fluxbox, like gkrellm?? thanks.. i have searched for a .xinitrc file but there isn't any... thanks to all for your time
