I have some problem accessing it also, same with linux_learner.. though using the IP works but cant access those links...

wow, that's a hard task.. I would think its impossible but when trying to google, I found this.. so check it out if you have'nt done yet... . http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html . . .

on mandrake (opps.. sorry), though apt-get and yum could be use as alternative package manager, but urpmi still works better.. but on redhat-centos-fedora system, Id like to use both yum and apt-get

I have LE2005, running firefox 1.07 -- from rpm and 1.5 downloaded from mozilla. you dont need to remove the one from rpm... the one that came from mozilla/firefox website is a tar.gz, when you untar it, you can then use it readily, just untar it under /usr/local/ will become /usr/local/firefox-1.5, the one that came from rpm will be installed at /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox. . normally, when you hit the icon of currently installed firefox, it will lunch the firefox-1.07.. so, to lunch the firefox 1.5 in particular, you can create a new link to application in your desktop and point the command as /usr/local/firefox-1.5/firefox . . if you have some working plugins that resides in you /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins, you can just then copy that into /usr/local/firefox-1.5/plugins, for them to work also on that version... . conficts, only if you have some themes or extensions installed using your 1.07 and is not yet supported with 1.5, once you run the new firefox the firt-time, it will check for any conflict and will let you check then install if there are already updated version of that theme or extension

Im using Centos 4, which is a RHEL 4 clone, and I find the apache webserver works fine, even if I did the up2date and upgraded the Centos 4 to Centos 4.2... of course, after you do an OS upgrade, you have to check the apache config file, the file might have been replaced with the default httpd.conf .. and the working httpd.conf file might had been renamed as httpd.conf.rpmsave

Im not sure if there's a problem with the built-in ethernet card of yours, but if you have a spare eth card, it might be good to try it ( another eth card) and disable the built-in ethercard..

the best place to visit http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html . and . http://postfixwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page . :P . and Welcome !!!

here's mine.. just installed it... OpenSuse10 -

what DE (between Gnome and KDE) best fit on FC4? or what can you suggest.. to those using FC4 since it was released.... TIA

AFAIK, shorewall is just like guardog, it depends on iptables, so they should be running at the same time... well, you can just define it to be always on via MCC, so as with shorewall

@ramfree if I have a user@yahoo.com.ph, what pop server should I have to use? . then in the username field on my emai client, should I put "user" only or should it be like "user@yahoo.com.ph"? TIA edit: never mind, got it already :P I am now able to access my yahoo via thunderbird thru POP3

If you install firefox via urpmi, then it usually be installed at /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7/ . and /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7/plugins/ for the plugins, that is... the plugin will be available to all.. . if you install firefox from the installer you get from their website, then you usually it will be /usr/local/firefox . and for the plugins /usr/local/firefox/plugins . hope I dont mis-lead you :P

if you have'nt tried it... http://ypopsemail.com/ . or http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=52835 This is not true. I don't pay for my Yahoo mailbox which gives me pop/smtp access and a 100MB mailbox and the ability to send 10MB of attachments per message.(Which is quite enough for my needs.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> if that's real, can you tell what pop server of yahoo are you using... pop.mail.yahoo.com wont allow, I tried it awhile ago..

i have screen installed on my 10.1, I just dont remember which repo it came from, but if not found in your free 3cd, it might be at contrib, or main, so, just setup urpmi repositories then #urpmi screen btw, I just recently learned screen and it is a very usefull tool, thanks to steve's post about screen

if you are using mandriva, in console as root #draksec it would open draksec gui.. see attached try to allow remote root login by changing the value to yes... actually, have'nt tried it myself, since I tried not to allow direct root login or remote root login.. so please post if that works...

you dont need this domain controllers for that, its more complicated, you just need samba to act as a stand-alone server... you need to add a user in your linux box that you should use on your windows 98, then add it again in your smbpasswd file.. say.. in you linux, you add an account named "linuxuser" & "98user" linuxuser is the one you're logging on your linux ( you can do so with "98user") 98user is for your windows 98.. for it to access samba.. you should as root; #smbpasswd -a 98user -- enter password: enter password again: -- the password that you will be using on this dose not necesarilly be the same as the password you assign in your linux but no roblem if they are the same. after that, the usename "98user" ( or what ever username you created) should be the username that you will be using when logging on your win98 laptop, that would allow the laptop to access samba ( assuming that the samba has been configure and the problem was with users accounts)

netfs should be on when you want to mount samba shares, if the problem is with permission, if you have a root access on that pc (am sure you have since you were able to disble those services mentioned :P ) try to, as root #chmod 755 -R /var/videogallery that would give permission to owner - rwx = 7 group - rx = 5 other ( or all users ) - rx = 5 -R = recursive, so the permission will be applied to folder videogallery and all files on it

and the other way of stopping it... open #draksec see attched.. then to periodic check, just press the arrow down and select "yes", "no", and "default"...

which do you prefer the printer to be connected permanently? in your xp or linux box? you can access the printer anyway even if you connected it to xp, as long as they see each other (linux and xp) and shared the printer on your network... ( assuming that hp1210 works fine on CUPS) then start cups and add printer... when you installit in your linux ( the printer) of course there will be a little changes on your xp since you will then add a new printer on both machine, since the computer that hosted the printer changes

thanks for the info, Ill try it later....

this will not answer directly your questions, but might help on setting up a mail server that depends on mysql database http://postfixwiki.org/index.php?title=Vir...-IMAP_and_MySQL I have tried it successfully on centos but never made it on mandriva

sorry for that double post.. anyway, I created the image with dd following your instruction on the previous post, and I formatted the image as fat32, as you can see, I actually booted to windows.. this disk error happened also when I tried installing XP, that was why I switch to win2k, is there any other way to create an image? aside of using dd?
