ok RH7.3 is really old. You could always download suse10. Works great; got a lot of drivers for the newer version's of graphics cards coming out now. to check the version of KDE you can always type rpm -q kde. I think its something like that. You can also type man rpm. This will list a bunch of...

HI all Ive got a NT print driver fr s printer im installing on our terminal server. But the problem is the 2003 server doesnt except it. Can anyone give me an idea on how to setup the server to except the driver. Thanks /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong...

Very barbaric and not functional. Ive done a bit of searching. I was using Generic text drivers but then I installed the specific drivers for those printers and it works. Im now busy setting them up to print through our Informix server so the printer spooler on the TS doesnt wait for the jobs on...

Hi I have printer servers connected to our terminal servers; I busy setting them up but the problem is when i print to a specific printer it comes out gibberish; the printer on lpt1 prints fines but the lpt2 printer is funny. the printers are exactly the same and the drivers are the correct...

oh yes; I dont know exactly how that is setup but you can acces it like ftp://192.168.0.19; If it is on a network at your place. Uploading I think you would either need a ftp client or use the command line. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong...

I know this is off the point but why not run an apache webserver on the linux box and then instead of accessing or downloading your files through ftp command line you access it through the webserver's ip address. like so http://192.168.0.19; it then displays a index page on the machine. Or you...

The booting issue is correctable. I find it easier and quicker sing the distro installation cd to redo all the configs for the system again. You could log in when it gives you the shell prompt; you have to try and unmount your root partition so you can remount it with read/write mode but that is...

I had the exact problem; I had a SuSe9.2 hard drive and then I put in a new hard drive to test my remastering knoppix and then when I plugged in the SuSe9.2; got the message saying the root partition is in read mode and needs to be remounted. I did a repair with the install cd and it worked. It...

If it is a clean box then boot up with the linux cd and redo the partitions. You'll need the following: linux OS(/dev/hda1) Linux swap(/dev/hda2) Xp partition which XP will create when you install it. You'll create the first 2 with the linux command fdisk; there is a gui for it on the...

If you just want to try linux before jumping in with all the installation bit; download yourself a copy of the greatest live cd ever. Knoppix v5 or Knoppix STD(security tools distro). Then you can even remaster it but thats a whole different thread all together...

why not use the tar command?? tar -zcvf /var.tgz /var/* as an example. it will just make a .tgz file with the contents of the directory. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong *******************************/

Hi Anyone out there know of the distro linux XP?? what is it about and does it have any relation to MicroSoft?? You have to pay to be able to download it. Im busy downloading the russian version I found. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong...

Your NTFS drives should be mountable on your linux distro. Open up a console in your linux and type "man mount". This is a manual page which will describe how to use this function. Usually something like "mount -t NTFS /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3". I cant remember off hand now; Im at work. For your SaTa...

That would work; but it wont be a bootable cd. /******************************* DragonForce -Is it wrong to be strong *******************************/
