  1. Any differences between the evaluation version and pay version? I used Libranet for a while, but couldn't get too much into it because of time, but like to do Debian now.
  2. I have to say, installed Mandy 10 last week finally. I love it. I have to say this is the most stable, best version of Mandrake so far, out of the box. Everything works. Even Kazaa using Apollon. Kudos to Mandrake! They've certainly answered their critics and as confusing as the release scheme is, it has paid off and resulted in an excellent distro. Thanks Mandrake!
  3. How about the simputer? I'm not sure how rugged it is, but it has received some good reviews.
  4. Wow fancy that. A new way of rebuilding rpms? Where was I?
  5. Yes, If you dig WindowMaker, you'll be obsessed over Fluxbox. I LOVE IT!
  6. From a ternminal, cd to the directory containing the src.rpm su to root rpm --rebuild whatever.src.rpm After it is done compilling, it will leave you with an rpm in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 Cd to that directory and rpm -ivh whatever.rpm
  7. Try creating that kppp.pid. I've never heard of it so I am not sure what it is supposed to do. Or if that doesnt' work, rename the kppp folder. When you run kppp again it should recreate the folder with the files meant to be there.
  8. Radeon seems to be problamatic when it comes to Linux. Nvidia offers better support for Linux. There are a couple of posts about this card you can have a look at. Maybe even try the offical Radeon driver. I remember it takes quite a bit of work to get it working. Sorry it is not much of an answer, but best I can do.
  9. I don't use bcc, but I would think the recepiants addy would appear on the 'To' line anyway and other addys that don't belong to the recepient wouldn't be seen.
  10. Go to www.mozilla.org. I believe there is a feedback section where tyou can make comments.

    USB questions

    Definalty do the uptate Mandy 10 official. It may solve the syncing problem. The cradle could also be located on dev/usb/tts/0 or dev/usb/tts/1 as well. Good luck.

    USB questions

    In regards to the printer, there seems to be some issues with Canon printers. I don't think it is so much as a usb issue since they are pretty well supported now. I would try different drivers for the printer using hardrake or through mcc. If that fails, you can use Turboprint. It supports a lot of the Canons, but it cost money. They have an evaluation version you can try out just to make sure it works before you comitt to something. For the palm, you have to have pilot-link installed and make sure you have it pointing to the location of the cradle. Haven't used Jilot for a while. I switched to Evolution for my syncing which works good. As for the camera, what kind do you have?
  13. I remember when I first got into Linux, I was always breaking it, and now Mandy has been really stable. She is so good to me.
  14. I believe Ogle will also give you proper use of DVD menus.
  15. Why rpm? Download the official tars from www.openoffice.org. They are self executing and will install just as easy, if not easier then rpm.
  16. Que bueno. Tambien hablo espanol. Viva la raza!

    compiling a rpm

    cd over to /home/burak/Desktop/ As root type: rpm --rebuild limewire-3.5.6-1jpp.src.rpm This will unpack and rebuild the rpm and after it is done type: rpm -ivh /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586/limewire-3.5.6-1jpp.rpm Note: Depending on your pc archeticture, it may install to a /i486 or /i386, it will tell you after the rpm is rebuild where the resultant rpm is located.
  19. I feel Mozilla is more powerful then Konqourer and it has better plugin support.
