    Linux won't install with XP

    Thanks to all for the help. I had done some reading online (which I should have done in the first place) and learned that Pentium 4's had issues with Linux...of course, that was back in 2000. I assumed the problems must have been corrected by now, but having just purchased this machine, I...

    Linux won't install with XP

    Having just purchased a new Toshiba A45-S150 laptop today, I was anxious to split the hard drive for a dual boot with Linux. Now I know XP and Linux don't exactly go hand in hand, but I tried resizing the XP partition nonetheless. While installing Linux in the free space though, I received an...

    Mandrake 9.2 1600x1200 problem

    The lsmod shows the radeon driver, but in XF86Config, the "Device" section shows the following... Section "Device" Identifier "My Video Card" Driver "vga" And "Monitor" is... Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor1&quot...

    Mandrake 9.2 1600x1200 problem

    I'm running Mandy 9.2 with a Radeon, one that works fine with Windows. 800x600 rez is also fine when used in Linux, however, anything over that fills the screen with static. The refresh rates were auto detected, and I've tried playing with them, but so far no luck. Describing the problem is...

    mcc/drakconf won't open

    Recently I was forced to play around with Gtk2 in an attempt to satisfy a dependency. I downloaded multiple files, Glib, perl-Gtk2, etc, but nothing seemed to work. Eventually I gave up, but then another problem presented itself. When trying to open the mandrake control center, nothing...

    kernel compiling & module dependencies

    The only config file I have for the kernel I'm using now is in /boot/config, and that's a soft link to config-2.4.21-0.13mdk. The 2.4.19 kernel I tried to get running has a configuration file in there as well, and from what I can see they're almost identical. I'll play around some more, one of...

    kernel compiling & module dependencies

    I only added in the things that were required for the patch to work. To be honest, I have no idea what else to select. I saw networking and PCI already configured, so I had no idea I would have to do more. How can I get eth0 up and running? Or do I need to figure that out on my own?

    kernel compiling & module dependencies

    I'm running mandy 9.1 2.4.21, but recently I tried recompiling it to install a patch a friend of mine had given me. I managed to apply the patch, set the things I wanted installed in the new kernel, and then compile it. It boots up fine, but the new kernel can't find anything I used to have...

    1600x1200 static problems

    I'm running Mandy 9.1 and using an 19' Envision EN-910e monitor. My video card is a 64mb Radeon VE. For a while now, every resolution above 800x600 has caused flicker, or what looks like static, on the screen. Even now as I type this, static lines are appearing and disappearing across the...

    No Sound With Xine

    At the moment I'm running a fresh instally of Mandrake 9.0, and seem to be only having one problem. A few days ago everything was perfect, but I decided to show a friend the installation process anyway. I went through it, got everything up and running again, and went about getting back to...

    Adding programs to menu

    As usual, some simple experimentation solved the problem :)

    Adding programs to menu

    I recently downloaded aterm to see all those pretty translucent windows everyone's been talking about, but doing so brought a question to mind. Is there anyway to open an aterm window (or any other program without a graphical front-end) without first using another terminal window? I realize...

    High ping, but good performance otherwise

    I'm posting this question for a friend of mine who's been stuck in a very unappealing situation for quite a while now. Forced to use dial up due to where he lives, he used to have acceptable ping (=<300) in online games such as Quake 3. Nowadays however, on every server he joins he lags out...

    belkin router/gateway disconnects

    I've been having this problem for almost a year now, and have yet to find a solution. Currently I own a Belkin cable gateway/router for my home LAN, which works fine the majority of the time. However, whenever I run the program &quot;nmap&quot; or similar scanner utility, all the machines in...

    XP &amp; Linux

    Thanks for the advice. I managed to resize the xp partition with partition magic, and then just created the linux native and swap with the partition utility that came with mandrake. Everything went smoothly. My mistake last time was in using the mandrake utility to resize the ntfs partition...

    XP &amp; Linux

    Looking for advice more than help really...currently I have a 1.1ghz machine with WinXP Pro installed. I'd like to install the Mandrake 9.0 I currently have onto this faster machine...but concerns about sound configuration and (I admit) games I want to play are preventing me from doing a...

    nic's and linux

    Currently I'm using Mandrake 7.1, 2.2.16. I have plans of upgrading to newer versions of suse in the future, but for the time being I'd like to get online using Mandrake. The problem is, I keep getting network interface cards that claim to work with Linux...and yet never do! I'm using a...
