  8. Parallel port Zip drive has stopped working

    Counterspy

     

    Now it sounds like you are a victim of the supermount bug. Remove it with the command supermount -i disable and try mounting and unmounting by hand. There is a program called automount on one of your Mandrake disks which you can use but the setup is a bit daunting.

     

    Your right Counterspy It is a bug in Mandrake 9.0,the upgrade md 9.1,the supermount bug is it fixed or does any one upgrade MD 9.1 and can tell us if supermount for zip drive is fixed already(bug)?.

    As for your modem, I'd [expletive deleted]-CAN it and get an external hardware serial (RS-232, not USB) modem for cheap. I got mine for only $45 at a show and it runs in both Linux AND windoze (Better in Linux of course since there is no trying to set up drivers for it, which I never understood why windoze needs drivers for an external serial... ).  

     

    As for printers, Linux supports a multitude of printers. But that won't help you with the ink problem...

     

    You are right about that`s I like it about linux because of external hardware you don`t need software for it if it support the brand new hardware.

    But if we get brand new ext.hardware will it support it?

    Yes, there is no need to run a dual boot machine if you don't want or need too. Turn on the new computer, set the bios to boot to cd first, just to be on the safe side, save and exit and when the machine reboots it will boot to the cd which will then start the linux install.

     

    Oooohhh good I didn`t know that tnx ronin for your help so why people tell me you should run windows on master hard drive & linux at slave hd,why is that?

    Yeah. That I mean with not seeing the problem. You can imagine when someone on a hidden list can (defined by TCPA-definition table) have full access to your data ?  

     

    Not a software problem, but a security problem, indeed.

    You talking about security problem will never solved there will be a hole always it is matter of time to find the leak in firewall.

    When I see the words of "MandrakeUser" i see that the problem in this case is not seen by most of users. It is not the case that linux may not run. It is not the case that you cannot copy programs easy.  

     

    This, my friends, is Big Brother is knocking on our door.  

     

    This was the first attempt to control us by technical meanings, I remember in my life (I am quite old enough to say). And many other knockings will be heared. IF WE DO NOT WATCH THEY PUT IT ON US.  

     

    Cos this is basic problem, do not make any compromisses. Do not let have them part off your life. You may not use systems where you cannot scrape this off the board and examine the BIOS byte by byte. Cos the bios can have additional back doors. If you are not absolutelly fit in electronics and in assamler, you may never use them. Don't be afraid, just dont make compromisses. For me, it means, when I cannot find any systems without TCPA, then I use old systems as long as they go.  

     

    The handwriting of them is at hand. They try to tie up absolute control over everything we say, write, think, love and hate. Next could be a law to control the net by technical meanings and hard laws (you remember: selling a system, wich comes without TCPA, they would have punished with up to 5 years jail). This law is fought off. Next could be the money. A number, tatooed under the skin, or a transponder chip implantated, will ease the money traffic enourously. And it will give the Alliance (another alliance then TCPA) the total control.  

     

    The net is trying to find a way out of the danger of observation. They try to build up a highly decentral and anonymous network. It is good to support their work. Specially mentioned Ian Clark, who started one project http://freenetproject.org/  

    http://news.com.com/2008-1082-899662.html?tag=fd_nc_1 is an article wich describes the urgence, importance and need for this project.  

     

    Vote for freedom in the network.

    You and everyone I got only one copy of office 2000 and the rest I have legal software,so if the law will knock on my door,I will tell them come in.

    I have nothing to hide.

     

    Best regards Mandrake-user
