    linux downloads

    I'm not familiar with this in Nero but have done it with Easy CD Creator and I presume it is very similar. When you start a new CD dialogue there will be an option to burn from iso images in one of the menus relating to the CD you are trying to burn. This will allow you to select (or drag) the...

    Linux 9.0 Installation

    use the command 'startx' to load the GUI if it has been configured at installation time. If not you need to configure it using one of the X configuration tools. You'll need to know some info about your graphics card such as make/model/videoram etc. run xf86config Once you have configured...

    SuSe Linux 8.1 Question

    Hi there, The CPU speed has less to do with the speed of loading programs than does RAM. I have run SUSE 7.1 and Mandrake 8.x on Fujitsu Lifebook Laptop with a 266MMX chip. When I moved from 32MB RAM to 96MB the improvement in speed was dramatic. I believe that as long as you have a Pentium...

    Please explain.....!!!

    When you install Mandrake, the default GUI is KDE which performs the same function as Gnome (and in my opinion is better). Both desktop interfaces act in the same way as the GUI in Windows (but without the constant GDI.EXE errors). You can add shortcuts to applications and documetns as you would...

    Multi-boot question..

    Edit /etc/lilo.conf so that the os you want to boot as first choice is the first in the list. Alter the standard lilo stuff (see below) so that the 'other=windows' stanza is first in the list. alter timeout=0 to whatever timeout you wish before it auto boots into the 1st choice OS. Time is in...

    National Linux friendly ISP?

    Where are you? I have connected to 3 or 4 different ISP's in the UK without any problems. I've never tried Compuserve/AOL though because they have proprietry software and in the past charged too much for their services. ClaraNet, LinuxUK and Freeserve are examples of UK ISP's that are fine. If...

    Simple Mandrake Linux Questions

    Answers: 1. CD's need to be ISO format not FAT (as they will be on the Hard Disk) I think you probably need to burn the CD as a bootable disk (with a bootstrap). I've no idea how you do this though because I have always done a disk copy with the burning software to copy disks (but I've only done...

    Screwed up my MBR!!

    I haven't much experience of GRUB but having looked at the RedHat website, you may be able to recover the situation by changing the default=0 to default=Windows98. The boot after the Windows Stanza should allow you to boot into Windows as far as I can tell from the documentation. Why they moved...

    installation errors

    I have had this when the partition onto which linux is being installed becomes full. This means that some of the packages couldn't be installed and are missed off. It can also cause un 'unclean' installation and leave you unable to boot the OS. How big is the partition into which you are...

    File status code in IBM Cobol Set for AIX

    According to the VSCOBOL 2 '85 standard 96 is an Implementor defined condition for VSAM files only which states that 'No DD statement specified for this file'. If you are using a VSAM file rather than a bog-standard sequential file, check your JCL to ensure that the file defined in the program...
