hello everyone , I'd like to thank you for being very very helpful about switching , and I'd like to say that Mandrake 10.1 is F****** great ! heres what I did ...

 

1) made a backup of all my files (took 17 cds )

2)download Mandrake 10.1 ( 5 cds , :D)

3) Install it , ( it was absolutly painless )

4) done !

 

everything worked right out of the box , I was happy to see that flash and java finally worked , and my 4.1 speaker system worked right out of the box !

 

I downloaded Enemy Territory , and it worked like a charm ( they made it for linux ) , in fact I think it runs same as windows if not better .

 

I got WineX3.3 and got GTA:Vice City working great :D

I'm trying to screw around with SynCE to sync my Casio E-125 PDA ... still trying

 

2 questions though , is there a way of playing music while playing Enemy Territory ?

and does anyone know the settings RAW , DAO , and modes in K3B ?

 

thanks !

Congratulations! :thumbs: :D :thumbs:

 

Unfortunately I don't have experience with your questions, but if you did not do it already, I suggest you read up a little on urpmi (lots of information on this on this board) and take FireFox 1.0 Preview release for a spin.

 

Have a lot of fun with Mandrake!

I think it depends on your sound card drivers and whatever wrapper, if any, that you are using. I have a SB Live! 5.1 and I use ALSA and I can play music at the same time as playing a game using BMP.

I'd suggest you post your questions with a descriptive topic in the proper sections of this board. You're likely to get more replies, and it would be more on-topic. I'd like to ask that we not start discussing answers here, because it makes it harder for people who are searching for an answer to a similar problem to find the thread.

 

On another note, glad to hear MDK 10.1 is looking good! :beer:

Just upgraded to 10.0 - nvidia card - when i run enemy territory my KDE resets itself.

And yes, i've got the latest nvidia drivers from their website.

in fact, i've never been able to get ET to run on 10.0 or lower. maybe 10.1 is the solution?
