Alright! GGo Maandrake. It's about time those guys thought of themselves a little bit. I'm not a club member but at least now i have some incentive to join. Altough i was going to join and buy the powerpack anywaysFrom the cooker mailing list:From: WarlySubject: [Cooker] 9.2 ISOs has been sent
Date: 24 Sep 2003 10:36:12 -0000
Which means that if no major critical bugs are found in the next few
days, it will be considered as final.
Thanks to all who have participated in 9.21, the mandrake linux
distribution is becoming more and more a community project, and I am
really happy with that.
When we will be sure these ISOs are really final, that is to say by
the end of next week, club members and contributors should have
exclusive access to the download edition ISOs.
For others ISOs will be freely available worldwide by the end of october.

firedrake?You can set Firedrake to block most types of incoming communications which should protect you in future. -
gnome 2.4 is already in cooker so yeah, kde is still 3.1.3 and oo.o is still rc4 (but rc5 source packages are reportedly on some mirrors sooooo...) 2.6-test5 in in contrib (and it booted a lot further than 2.6-test4 :)few number of updates of packages?gnome 2.4 will be in there (i'm a gnome person ;-) )
the 2.6.0-test kernel is on it, isn't it? i don't remember
Mandrake sticks to their release cycle pretty tightly, regardless of number of upgrades. they'll make the updates after the initial release i'm sure. but who are we to speculate what's going on behind Mandrake's doors. The release will come, we'll get it, it'll have what it'll have, and everyone will go on living ;-)

No drakwizard is still thereDid the Wizards in MCC go away? -
yeah, i bought RC2 for XP $9.99. Bastards. I didn't know any better back thenBetter than trying to test Microsoft RC's they charge you if you want to test them. (or at least they used to) -
that's another great valve game i definitely won't be playing (the otehr is the original HL which the refuse to port and i refuse to run under wine anymore).*sigh*.....I really think that ALL games should be boycotted if they release a linux server, but not a linux client. We help make their games great on-line, and they dont give a rats ass about us. You might want to all HL2 to that list

Also Debian has some 'unique ' features.
First the RVM.
Thats the re-virginiser module. It seems to be installed as default and has the effect of making you feel like you never used linux before...
second see number 1.
ah yes, the re-virginizer module. /me moves on
It also has this prog that allows you to load modules into the kernel on the fly which i find to be much better than the *mod* prog

isn't 2.3.5 devel version?
if you're using gnome from cooker 2.4 has been released.
-
i was plannig to do this too since fubar and Pious won't let me reboot to upgrade 9.2. bastards. only differnce is i would use a 9.2 mirror as my source for rpms and not cooker

i was just messin with ya. come to #mub and i'll do it even moreYou've only made 8 posts here and at least three of em are in offtopic! They've got to be doing something right. Now me on the other hand ...Well, I'm not your typical newbie. I'll ask questions if I need to, but so far I haven't found anything I can't figure out :D and I'm not really a newbie. Just new here....
-
that's what i was looking at. i can't get it to display in konqueror or mozilla though.
What I'm trying to do is set the background of a <th> header but it won't work wherever i put it.
-
actually it does work. I was linked to the wrong style sheet which is why it wouldn't show up unless i did an inline style.
I can't however seem to get this to work
background-image: url()
could anyone try this and see if its supported.
-
just checked and realized it doesn't work for me either. it only works when placed between the head tags
<head> p { text-indent: 1cm; } </head> -
because css is the way man. far ouuuuuuuuuut. and because css makes it easier.

You've only made 8 posts here and at least three of em are in offtopic! They've got to be doing something right. Now me on the other hand ... :DI think adding adware is lame. Why would I want to install a distro with adware??? If they would spend more time making a distro that actually works they would make money. I'd buy it, but as it is everytime I install mandrake something is screwed up and I'm not forking out any of my dough for something that doesn't work... Customer service would be nice too. I sent Mandrake tech support several emails more than 3 years ago and I'm still waiting for a reply, just 1 reply would be nice. No thanks, I'll just go with SuSe or Redhat...Customer service? You've got it right here! and if you give me you e-mail i'd be more than happy to send you a message (just 1 reply though :))
But seriously mandrake's come a long way in three years. Three years ago, dvd playback needed a degree, usb mice were toys of the nerdy, X looked like a 2 year old put it together. A lot's happened in three years and FYI MDK has been under new management for a while.
As for the adware, like Gael said, it's always been there. I've always seen it, I've always not wanted to see it and you know what? I turned it off. yeah. There's a button that says Details that you can click on and see which packages are getting installed. The only difference w/ 9.2 is that you won't be getting MDK adds you'll be getting company X's adds.
Now the screensavers ... that sucks. That's new and that's post-install, and that will probably be a pain to remove. I think i read somewhere that there won't be adds in screensavers though so ...

it at mozdev.org. there´s lot´s of cool stuff over there, so check it out. mouse gesture prog @ http://optimoz.mozdev.org/

oh yeah, i forgot about kmplayer. I don't like it cause it's even less stable than mplayer when player videos. It also doesn't automatically adjust size to take up whole of window (on sites other than quicktime) when playing video like the mplayer-plugin.

wonder if part of your problem is the upgrade from 8.2 instead of doing a fresh install. My 9.1 has Cups 1.1.19 and it looks like you have 1.1.16. The upgrade is generally a problem, especially from 8.2 to 9. Assuming your /home is on its own partition a fresh install should not be too big a problem.
the 1.1.16 is really only telling you what version the config file came with. Since he edited it the new urpmi would not overite his file, instead it would save as .rpmnew or if he used rpmdrake there would be the option to delete, leave alone or use, the new config. i have this problem in openoffice where if i send one use one printer settup nothing prints (jobs are still there). but if i use file menu to select mdk configured printer it works. i can give you a screenshot if this is cryptic.

some cd players can't play cd-rws and then there are older stereos can play cd-rws. It just depends on what you're using to burn and where you want to play it.
-
maybe the new version of mdk will solve your prob. you don't have to use mandrake though, use whatever works for you. (we're not biased in helping people here)

xpdf and acrobat readt ghostview and probably more apps than gsview can read those files. I don't know a fix so i'd say just use one of the others
should tell you what package has it.
