just installed win2k on my le2005 using Qemu, but its really too slow, not the native speed that I expected.. then I tried to shutdown and boot again with the command qemu -m 196 hd.img and this is what I get Bochs BIO, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.110 $ $Date: 2004/05/31 13:11:27 $ ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-2 Hard-Disk (2000 Mbytes0 ata0 slave: Unknown device ata1 master: QEMU CD-ROM ATAPI-4 CD-Rom/DVD-Rom ata1 slave: Unknown device Booting from Hard Disk... Disk error Press any key to restart Booting from Hard Disk... Disk error Press any key to restart I spend several hours on installing but this is what I got after restarting the virtual pc.. any idea?

if you have'nt done any repartition of reformatting yet on your previuos mandriva install, I guess you can still login to failsafe mode... If you noticed that option during your lilo or grub loader, choose the failsafe, you'll go directly unto a terminal as root, there you can add a user and its pasword [root@box aioshin]# useradd linuxuser [root@box aioshin]# passwd linuxuser Changing password for user linuxuser. New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [root@box aioshin]#ls /home/ drwx------ 17 aioshin aioshin 4096 Oct 21 16:55 aioshin/ drwxr-xr-x 3 linuxuser linuxuser 4096 Dec 13 12:47 linuxuser/ [root@box aioshin]# above, I added the account name linuxuser, then issued passwd so I can assign a password for it, automatically a linuxuser home directory was created under /home, then after that, try to reboot to normal kernel then when ask for a username, you have it already

I think, the easiest way to do it ( mounting ) is the way you mount it in your windows box... you can set it to be mounted the next time the windows computer boot . well, the way you want it, I have not tried it on a stand alone ( simple sharing) samba configuration, but I have tried it when samba act as a Primary Domain Controller, since the home of each user (on windows) on these setup (PDC) actually resides on samba server... and its just being mounted on windows when a user has log-on... but the setup is more complicated than a regular stand-alone samba server you might find something similar to what you want here. http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/

open a terminal.. type mcc, or as root type mcc, if its really been installed on your system, it will pop-up

Not afraid with cooker, Its just that, what if 2006 has been installed on a production environment... ? cooker is not for this place, since it needs a system that does not break... well, it can be installed on a desktop that will serve as answering machine on what really is 2006, those that it boots very fast, that it has the latest kernel, that it has kat on it....

if you use mandriva... #/etc/init.d/webmin start | stop | restart or #service webmin start

That's the same error that I always get when trying to set a channel using the easy urpmi. But if you point it to cooker, I think it will work fine

open.. systems - configurations - config your desktop - peripherals - mouse - cursor theme

I am quite comfortable with the CLI and use it on a regular basis - my vote.. I use it to lunch GUI.. say drakrpm, drakrpm-edit-media, kcontrol, and other commands that lunch gui utils... :P

so... 2006 really belongs to cooker.. bleeding edge

free what? codeweaver's crossover... wine is free, try that, lots of docs and installation how-to on their website...

Im sure they won't answer, Im not a CLUB Member

why is it that the default channel of smart pointed to cooker... ??? this should not be like this, since when you accidentally used the smart update then upgrade, it will upgrade directly to cooker.. even in my 2005, when I tried smart, the same thing happen.. it goes directly to cooker.... and when I follow the easyurpmi page and select the smart instead of urpmi option .. it just gave me errors after adding thouse channels.. I think this was the cause of the other post here that he wants his 2006 downgrade from cooker....

what particular server you want it to act? web - Apache2 file - samba, ssh, ftp ( samba: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ ) mail - sendmail, postfix (mandriva's default is postfix) DNS server - http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/dhcp/ DHCP server - http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/ try also to visit this http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_mandrake_10_2

if the username and password you are using on your win2k is the same username and password you assign on your smbpasswd file (same linux user-account) that's what would happen.. it wont ask or prompt you any username and password.. ok, if you have'nt visit the samba page, there are lots of example that you can refer, detailed how-to... it might help you further.. http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/

have you tried those users that you wish to have access from network to be added in your smbpasswd file... #smbpasswd -a user1 That will let you add the user with username user1 on smbpasswd file ( just guessing you forgot to use it)

The default install can already give you read access to ntfs partition, write access, if you search on this forum, all you get is to have a vfat partition since ntfs support is not that stable yet (write access) Realplayer, there's a realplayer for linux... http://www.real.com/linux?pcode=rn&src=fre...eplayer_partner you can just download the rpm and manually install it, you can also install the helixplayer ( https://player.helixcommunity.org/ ) in your Mandrake Control center - software manager Firewall.. 2006 hat already an interactive firewall, during install, you will be ask to enable or configure it, so it has already on the package... Antivirus.. I'm not sure since have not installed it yet... eh.. try clamav, it can be found (am not sure which) on several mandriva repositories.. main,contrib, update or try to visit http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/installmdv2006.html it has lots of mandriva tips and info

go ahead... it has kde 3.4.. the installation is easy..

crossover or crossover office ( http://www.codeweavers.com/ ) is similar to wine ( http://www.winehq.com/ )... , You need it to be installed first before you can install windows base applications.. like that of dreamweaver.... but if you'll using dreamweaver as just an html editor and other functions not related to flash, I guess.. NVU can handle it

lavaeolus... that's what Elect's using :P when mounting it at hdb1, try to create a folder on it and then give full ownership of that folder to the account you are using or your regular user account... say as root: #mkdir /mnt/hdb1/sharedfolder and assuming your regular user is electraglider.. issue command #chown electraglider.electraglider /mnt/hdb1/sharedfolder that way, that folder will be owned by electraglider, so as with your smb.conf, the shared folder path should be /mnt/hdb1/sharedfolder and that will gave you full access on that folder.. Sharing hardrive I think, applies only when you dual-boot win2k and linux... on sharing it in your network, you are just sharing a folder

try to specify the full path where the Real Player reides... /usr/bin/<RealPlayer> (am just guessing path here)

I have once tried dreamweaver run under crossover on 10.1, so it should ... have you tried NVU? http://www.nvu.com/

maybe she's just joking, she just want us to laugh sometimes :P

if you just want a new k3b, you can try to get an rpm from here... http://www.mandrivaclub.nl/sources/official/2005/i586/ or some other updated package that you cant get from the default repositories...

You should used the word "root" and the root password, not the users account user name
