Thanks, I missed that it was a devel source. I'll give it a try and let you know.

Maybe I could if I had a browser working

I was using rpmdrake. Not sure where I was getting the updates from. I had just updated the sources, but don't remember.

Was finally updating my Mandrake 10.1 with newer Firefox and Thunderbird. Just got done with those two but before the update was finished I lost power. Now RPM is broken and none of the Mozilla applications will launch. How do I get RPM working again? Can I insert the CD and run repair or rescue?

Got it thanks, Now if I could only get it to install. I had 1.01 installed but it will not start. Galeon works great. Tried to install 1.3 but is calls for a slew of dependencies that I am almost sure already installed. Didn't want to uninstall ver 1 because it would disable galeon due to a couple dependencies. Why wouldn't the 1.3 rpm provide the libraries that are dependent anyway?

Anyone know where I can get Mozilla 1.3 RPM?

Checking the jumper pins on the drive I found that one was bent and possibly touching another. Booted with CD1 and tried to reinstall lilo. First time it did not work, but inexplicably it did work the second time! Hurrah. The Acronis Migrate easy is a nice ultiliy, even if it must be paid for. It is made by Acronis who describes themselves as "partners" in the ASP Linux project.

Lilo apparently thinks the new drive is /hdb. When I tried to reinstall Lilo from CD 1 it said, root device found on /hdb Fatal: open/dev/hda no such device or address How do I get that drive renamed as /hda? If that would do it...

Just copied my hard drive w in98se/mdk 9 that uses lilo. When I swapped the drives the bios cannot find a boot record and gives 99 99 99. Tried the mdk boot floppy and got a kernel panic and something about ...not found. Did the exact copy procedure on my laptop ( using acronis migrate easy and it worked perfectly) Any ideas?

I didn't think Powerquest could handle linux partitions such as ext3 or reiser. Have you had experience with them?

Has anyone had any luck copying a drive with dual boot Win98 and Mdk9 using Acronis Partition expert or Migrate easy? Both claim to handle any Linux partition, but neither has worked for me. I need to both my PC's upgraded with new drives as simply as possible sithout reinstalling anything

Found the file and appended as instructed but I get the following message when I try to burn with x cd roast cannot open '/dev/pg0' Cannot open scsi driver.

[(It's more fun to set it up manually rather than using a GUI)] I wish it were more fun for me. Is there a way to do it with the GUI? I couldn't even find the files listed in the howto. /etc/lilo/config I would like to get my new burner going.

Tried doing explicitly as you instructed. Nothiing happened , There was no file to go to the last line of... So I issued the commands and tried to save them in the /etc/rc.d file by clicking save then save in /etc/rc.d ... I'm screwed now. Linux won't boot. I see a message fly by about some /etc file does not exist then the systems hangs at logger.... Do you know how I can get this back working? 20 hours of downloading other programs and setting favorites and address books are waiting to be rescued[

Please excuse the hijack... I tried doing explicitly as suggested with Kwrite in the shell but the etc file did not come up, I t said only something about the server being open,, That worried my and I bailed. Can this be done with mc?

Wish I knew how to do that. Used MC a couple times 2 years ago with Peanut linux. Basically, I'm file illiterate.

Tried setting the drive parms, Johnnyv, according to the isntrucitons in the link (thanks) but after reboot they are reverted to default (no DMA and 16 bit I/O Ideas?

Guess I should have specified faster than what. With mdk 9.0 (including no DMA) isntalled on a P-4 1.7ghz, 512 mb , it is decidedly slower than my P-3 800, with 512 mb running win 98se. Going back to Suse till mdk gets their ide diks access problems , DMA, CD supermount, automount, etcc... . FIXED

If you are using Mandrake 9.0 then you will probably prononoune it S-L-O-W

Just installed Mkd and win 98 on a new desktop. When running linux but idle, the hard drive will go CLICK... tick about every 7 seconds. With the click the HD light blinks, but not with the slightly quieter tick. It does not do this when in windows. Is there something about the file sys in Linux that causes the drive to be polled every few seconds?

IBM has been doing a lot of work on linux and I believe they now offer RH as an option on new laps. For a comprehensive list of Linux on laptops go to http://www.linux-laptop.net/ Have fun
