where can I see an example ( the new path is /home/lando/Firefox1.5/firefox and the old one is /usr/local/firefox ) ? I

I've an old Firefox in /usr/bin that start typing "firefox" on a terminal . Now I've installed the last firefox version and I'd wish to start it from the terminal . What have I to change to do that ? ( I want to keep also the old version...) . Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

After the command below , port 60353 is in Iptable ( "chain input" means that it works ? ) . After a boot it disappears from chain input ... How can I do to have this port permanently assigned to Iptable ? Thanks a lot. [root@localhost lando]# /sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -i eth0 -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN --dport 60353 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT [root@localhost lando]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:60353 flags:SYN,RST,ACK/SYN state NEW [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I 've to set up a TCP/UDP port for Azureus . Having Guarddog installed ,what have I to do ? Thanks a lot.

I've installed TB 1.5 and WebMail Extensions both in MDK 10 and Mandriva 2006 offical . In MDV works fine . In MDK 10 I get the msg "could not connect to localhost,the connection was refused" when i try to read the mail . This Msg is sent when the PORT of the localhost server is already used by the system . I've assigned the port 2010 in both the systems (the first I' ve found free...empirically ) . How can I see which port is free ,usable ...? Thanks a lot.

THANKS alot !

How can I see e locked task (the Windows command "CNTRL+ALT+CANC"...) ? Thanks a lot.

I' ve just installed Anjuta IDE but it seems documentation is not part of the package.... Can someone tell me how can I set compiler flags ( -lm....and so on...)? Many thanks. PS- GTK project ......not Gnome.

OK, ...this was my initial assumption...this is why I was saying that " BL-02 " is wrong.....

Giving phisical path ( mnt/hdb5/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk ) everything works......Do you see possible problem ?

An attempt done to link Knoppix that have only the root partition was OK... PS- Of course /mnt/hdb7 is mounted ...........

I' m afraid this your topic is wrong >>>>>> https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=5082 The distro that have only the root partition are linked.... not the distro (like Mandriva) that have also a boot partition ! Have you tried ?

I 've Adsl line and Ethernet interface.... and that software support works fine... You have USB interface ....then another thing...maybe your hardware is not detected properly . I don't know ,I cannot help .

Before you have to remove the config in Control Center then do adsl-setup (in root..)...Now you can do adsl-start and so on.

Kdeaddons installation has solved the problem.

I've get what I wanted using "adsl-setup" procedure instead of Control Center procedure ! Now with adsl-start and adsl-stop the connection can be started and stopped ....... and the bring up of PPP0 is never done at boot ! ...and the link is up and running if it is working !!!! >>>>> [root@localhost lando]# service -s adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0 Though I don't know the differences beetwen these two procedures...I' m ok !

I have a modem...(not a router , I think so ) ....and on MDK 10.0 I have configured ADSL ,PPPOE,and so on....and it works. Moreover Mandriva "service -s" shows >>>>>>>> adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe) though it is working ! and >>>>>>>>>>>>> [root@localhost lando]# adsl-stop adsl-stop: No ADSL connection appears to be running ---and route is OK ! >>>>>>>>>>> [root@localhost lando]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 20 0 0 ppp0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 20 0 0 ppp0 [

Thanks for your reply . When I 'll be able to boot the system I ' ll try your advices..... now the system stops at " Bringing up PPP0 " boot time and it doesn't move any more though my enter....! Sorry, I have an ADSL ethernet connection .......

I've done Internet settings through Control Center . At the question "do you want to start the connection at boot ? " one can only answer "yes" otherwise the connection fails ! Then I reply YES ! .... and Internet works. The second problem is that sometimes at boot time when appear on the log "bringing up PPP0" the system stops ! Sometimes continues if I hit enter and some characters.....! Is there a bug about it ? Thanks a lot .

To work I should install a Konqueror plugin that should be in the Kdeaddons .... I'll try to find it.....

yes......................
