Dude, Try this boot: linux acpi=off noapic nolapic noapm Hope this works! (Mine never works without disabling the local apic "nolapic") :)

Hi Steve, Its pretty simple and straight forward if your Mandriva exists in the same LAN of your windows machine... Share the drives/folders on XP that ya wanna read from Mandriva. Make sure that you've "smb4K" and Samba client utils installed in Mandriva. Goto File Transfer -->SMB4K and it'd just remind you of network neighborhood of XP;) Happy networking;)

Dude, You can do it in a couple of ways 1. Create /etc/htmlview.conf and point the executable for firefox like this X11BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox_executable 2. If you do not have root access, create .htmlviewrc in your home directory with X11BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox_executable 3. Check for more info at mozilla http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser :)

Dude, Use the KDE Control Centre to change the way your KDM looks...

Dude, Post the results of "lspcidrake -v|grep ETHERNET" see whether your nVidia ethernet is listed along with your Marvel ethernet. I've been using nVidia ethernet with stock drivers and I've never used the nvidia drivers. My nForce2 MB has 3com as well as nVidia ethernet. :)

Dude, Check the MD5sums of your downloaded ISO files. You can get md5 summer for windows here MD5 Summer There's another way to install Mandriva.. from the ISO file itself without burning it to a CD. Just download a minimal install CD ISO called boot.iso and choose the hard disk drive install method and point the appropriate ISO files. :)

Dude normally, when a cron job is completed, the error message (if available) and the output of the cron job is mailed to the root. You can check it out by viewing /etc/crontab there'll be something listed like SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=root HOME=/ Further log files can be found at /var/log/cron and /var/log/messages

Name doesn't matter dude, I've named mine as upd.cron and it should be in the cron.daily directory. Make sure that you chmod it to +x :P

Dude, There are a couple of ways to overcome this situation, 1. To have a separate /var partition defined (useful when your log files @ /var/log eat up your hdd and leave your machine unbootable) 2. As suggested by matthiar n crac, share your home directory with a special folder for www. 3. In my home I'm running a couple of test sites each mounted on an individual HDD (for large database testing and good I/O) and the document root appropriately set on apache httpd.conf. The possibilities are countless in Linux:D :)

Dude, My cron.daily runs a script like this #!/bin/bash urpmi.update -a urpmi urpmi urpmi --update --auto --auto-select and it works perfect
