I like the white with black outlines, and it's very bandwidth friendly :)
Nice, simple and clean.
Maybe you want to use some spiffy icons, like BeOS, redhat icons or something. They always come off well :)
that sounds like a great idea. I'm reluctant to add any more graphics though. the banner I though up there is pretty heavy as is and it takes about 30 secs to load the whole thing on 28.8k. Not too concerned about that but by extrapolation it seems it'll take at least 15 secs on 56k. I'd like it to be under 10 secs so no more graphics (yet)

oh yeah, the address, (which'll be down the next half hour or so)
i'm up again.

I'm redesigning i-kubed.org (fer craps an' giggles) but i've hit something of a barrier. How it looks currently sucks. The colors aren't working together IMO and if you have any suggestions on what to do about it feel free to post.
I'm pretty attached to the white outline out of necessity more than anything else (it hides the fact that I'm using png's when viewed from IE.
And I'm attached to the link colors by preference. "Everything else can go!", to paraphrase some game show.

well it seems pointless now, but i know how to get that <?xml thing to work in php
turn short tags off (in php.ini) for future reference <?php ?> instead of <? ?>

NT-06: How-To set up Samba Networking
Installing Samba
The first thing we need to do is get some wizard action going. As root
urpmi drakwizard
After all that's done open up Mandrake Control Center
mcc
then go to Server Wizards -> Configure Samba. Say yes to any questions which get asked till you get to something similar to this screen.
Then hit Next and enter a name for your Workgroup.
Hit Next two more times and choose an Access level
If you selected My rules you will now be given the option to refine which computers are allowed on your network.
When at the Enable Samba server step DO NOT check file sharing area. You will not be able to finish the wizard.
Continue through the wizard. If you had chosen to share printers, a configuration screen will be available to you.
Once this is done, you will need to configure your users. You will need to add your Windows logon id (XP only, I think, the Administrator users will be added by default for Win2k) to the users list. To do this, open a console and su to root. Then type:
smbpasswd -a USER
where USER is your Windows username. You will be prompted (twice) for a password for this user. Enter one you will remember. You will need it when you access your shares from your Windows PC, at least the first time.
Networking
:: Linux
To use samba between linux computers one needs to be a server (configured above) and the other needs to have smbclient installed. To do this
urpmi libsmbclient
The computer with only smbclient installed will be able to access samba shares.
The computer with smbclient AND the samba server install will be able to both serve and access shares.
:: Windows
To enable sharing in Windows open up the Control Panel and go to Network Connections.
Right Click on your connection and select Properties
Make sure that both Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing are checked.
Then right click on My Computer and go to Properties
Go to the Computer Name tab and click on the Change button.
Select a sensible name for your computer And change the workgroup to the same one that made when you configured the samba server. It doesn't have to be the same, but it's neater this way.
Configuring Shares
Now comes the hard part, and for this we go to the Samba Configuration file.
Open up /etc/samba/smb.conf and scroll all the way down to the bottom. Read the comments and select the type of share which you would like.
Then modify the examples to fit your specific needs.
For example, If I only want the user Illogic-al to be able to access my musiz share I'd change
# A private directory, usable only by fred. Note that fred requires write# access to the directory.
;[fredsdir]
; comment = Fred's Service
; path = /usr/somewhere/private
; valid users = fred
; public = no
; writable = yes
; printable = no
to this
# A private directory, usable only by fred. Note that fred requires write# access to the directory.
[fredsdir]
comment = Mah Muzak
path = /mnt/Music
valid users = illogic-al
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
illogic-al, of course, needs to be created using smbpassword, as stated above.
The /etc/samba/smb.conf has more examples of potential sharing situations which users may want so go check it out.
For those longing for a Graphical approach the samba-swat package or webmin package may be for you. Be awars however that after using samba-swat the comments in the smb.conf file will be gone. The comments provide useful information so I recommend backing up or making a copy before editing via SWAT. I'm unfamiliar with webmin and whether or not it too erases the comments.
To install SWAT
urpmi samba-swat
urpmi webmin
Security
There are varioius security options which are available to samba. Some are commented in the /etc/samba/smb.conf and many others are documented via man or info page.
man smb.conf
or
info smb.conf
to access them.
Two of these options will be demonstrated. Be very careful however as these options will make more insecure.
The first smb.conf we'll look at the security = option.
To allow access to certain shares (e.g. read-only public shares) without any logging in, change the option
security = user
in /etc/samba/smb.conf to
security = share
On Windows XP accounts are created by default without a password. Other account normally don't have passwords (e.g. the Guest user). If a user is added using smbpasswd samba will expect that user to have a password (even if you entered no password for the user). Therefore if you a a remote user from a Windows computer which has no password they won't be able to log in as samba will keep asking for a password.
to disable this security option put
null passwords = yes
in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
Enabling Changes
After any changes are made to the smb.conf file the samba server needs to be restarted to load them. To do this simply type as root
service smb restart
Accessing Shares
:: Linux
There are various which are used to access samba shares.
urpmi smb4k
is a good start.
If you use konqueror or nautilus you can access samba share bye typing
smb:/
in the address box. In konqueror it looks a little something like this
It is also possible to use command line tools to access samba shares. These tools are available w/ the samba-client package. To install
samba-client
This package provides smbmount which can't be used to mount shares. Usage of smbmount is left as an exercise for the reader :-)
:: Windows
You can browse your Samba shares by going through Network Neighborhood. Simply click on it, browse to "Computers in my Workgroup" and you should see your Samba shares. You will be prompted, at least the first time, for your username and password. Alternatively, you can mount them as network drives. Right click on My Computer and go to Map Network Drive. Choose a drive letter, then click on the Browse button. Find your shares as above and mount them to your heart's content.

I had 10 CE working fine but had to reinstall, now I cannot get it to shutdown. I have tried shutting down from both GUI and CL.
When I view the messages at shuitdown it always hangs after:
Stopping hotplug: ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4 : remove, state 1<!--QuoteEBegin-->usb usb1: USB disconnect, address 1<!--QuoteEBegin-->usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2<!--QuoteEBegin-->usb 1-1.3: USB disconnect, address 4<!--QuoteEBegin-->usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 6<!--QuoteEBegin-->drivers /usb/class/usblp.c:usblp0:removed<!--QuoteEBegin-->ohci_hcd 0000:00:07.4 : USB bus1 deregistered
I have three usb ports a 4 port hub is in one and a printer in another. The hub has a graphic tablet/mouse attached.
The pc is Gateway athlon 750 (quite old) and previously ran 9.0
Thanks for your help

update madrake and all will be fine.

Yes, we can resize NTFS from MDK9.X. and MDK10.0
My question is that how I can move system files in MS windows 2000.
The system files are located near end of the cylinder of the disk so that I can not have enought space to install MDK10.0.
Even I make a room about 5GB but due to the system files I can only get 500MB.
system files || empty space || used space || empty space || system files || empty space
...................................................................4.5 GB.............30MB......500MB
............................................................|<-Should be moved here-|
................................................................................
.......................|
........................................................................I can cut here only -->|
Sorry for my previous ambiguous question.
hmm, i'm thinking that's the pagefile that's doing that. you can try temporarily disabling your virtual memory. A little voice in the corner of my mind is telling me that this could be dangerous...

mandrake's install program can resize NTFS disks.

there is an md5sum program for windows. Just search google for one
-
you don't need to a forceful shutdown when this happens btw.
This post from our FAQ section should helps http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=5144
the ::Terminal Death:: section should prove helpful if this ever happens again.
BTW i have the problems described sometimes with the 2.6 kernel. the 2.4 kernel from 9.2 doesn't exhibit these probs.

hope this helps. Ripped right from our FAQ section: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=4960

is this right when you hit the power button? you might have the dvdrw set to Cable select.
I always set the jumper (on the back of the drive) to the opposite of the other drive. If there is no other drive then I would set it to be the Master.
-
i'm guessing wellst is your current user. so if you try to burn as that user it should work. I'm officially stumped. k3b should work after running k3bsetup. i think something wrong with either a) a jumper setting is wrong or B) the cdrom/cdrom wire thingy is messed up :unsure: :wacko:

ok now do
ll /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd
and paste the results of that in here.

huh? sorry. i don't think i got that question

if you have the third cd you would have to add it to urpmi using the name
but if you have already added main and contrib sources from the internet there won't be any need. Also if you have already added the third cd entry to urpmi under a different name you can just ignore this warning.International CD (x86) (cdrom3)
