    partitioning

    Great idea. Nevertheless, my post was opposed to the fact that "25 gigs is a lot". No! 25 gigs is few, and even 40 gigs is few. By the way, external drives seem far more expensive than internal drives, so I am serously thinking about a 120 gig internal (60 times more than the 20 gigs danleef said being a lot ! If I happen saving enough money, this will be great ! For the moment I am feeling rather angry because I cannot startup Internet Counter strike. But that's another story, really far away from the present topic.

    Newbie need help installing

    Sorry to take you back after all the things you did, but... Things are much easier with mandrake. Now you know how to do the right first CD from the ISO, do it from the Mandrake first CD iso, and boot on it. It will do everithing fine, just choose "use existing partitions" because the Lunux partitions are already created. Then it will install everything, including LILO, which will boot on Linux by default but will allow you to temporarily choose Windows XP if you prefer. The whole operation will last about one hour, just try it!

    partitioning

    @danlef I currently have 40 gigs and I am constantly running out of disk space. Each PC game needs several gigs, and videos need at least 10 gigs, etc... So 25 gigs is enough for learning how it works, and then you will very soon need to buy another disk.

    how to mount a folder

    keep cool, main ! I was just taking my own case as an example, but I am pretty sure most of distros work the same way. So, I am sure that, also on your own linux system, the Windows partitions are already mounted! So, simply open a Linux shell window, and type the word df, and you will see the Linux mounted filesystems, and one of them is probably your Windows filesystem! Si, simply type df on your terminal, and tell us what you see. Regards Zorba

    OK! I think I found a copy!

    By the way, jgrid, remember that the ppc version will not boot on a PC, use this only if you have a PowerPC Mac
  6. MrRobins3, everytime I installed Mandrake 9, I installed the workstation, development tools, games and Internet Server, and then it asked me for the second and the third CD! By the way, most of important things are on the first CD, there is a menu showing what rpm's are on the second and on the third cd. If you are curious, just mount the second CD and look what is under the rpm directory, and you will probably see nething is interesting for you, that's why the standard installation didn't ask you to insert these CD's.

    how to mount a folder

    @kapsys, just try to type "df" in a Linux shell window. Maybe your Windows filesystems are already mounted ! On my Mandrake Linux systems, the installation directly creates the mountpoints and the FAT32 filesystems are mounted automatically at system boot. On my system, the Windows filesystems are named /mnt/Windows1, /mnt/windows2, etc...
  8. I found how to do it. I used drakconf in order to configure another board, and the provided DNS and gateway are also valid for the Wifi adapter!

    [url]SMB://ip[/url] address?

    If XP asks you your name and password, that means that you are not connected with the same name. So, give as name the name of the guy connected on the pc (probably your own name, or "bigmaster" whatever name you gave while installing XP. The password will be the XP user password (nothing if you created a user without password).
  10. Sorry, but what is the problem with the script file ? If you are able to type the commands (like ifconfig en0 up etc...) then you are able to put them in a file named mypreferredthing.sh and fire mypreferredthing.sh directly, or automatically from /etc/inittab ? Or is your problem different ? Regards Zorba

    What is MandrakeMove ?

    Thanks, Nebulus and PC-Janitor. You are right, it seems to be a very interesting feature. You don't need to buy an carry on a laptop, you only carry-on your CD and your USB key, and you work on any PC you can boot on. Really nice. Thanks for the info Zorba

    What is MandrakeMove ?

    What is MandrakeMove ? It's in Linux Mandrake 9.2 distribution. I guess what means CD1, CD2 or CD3. But what is the Move CD ?
  14. Now my Wifi networks works (almost) fine. Unfortunately I have no gateway and no DNS configured. You know why ? Because my device is configured with command line syntax (like "ifconfig wlan0 your_ipaddr"). OK, now I know how to configure your_ipaddr, I know how to ping, to telnet to known address. But how is the syntax for configuring DNS ? And what about default gateway ? Is it "route add default 192.xx..yy" ? Any help would be accepted. Regards Yordan
  15. Hi, Makaw, You could install a private Proxy on you Win2000 pc, for instance the WinGate one. Then configure this proxy in your Linux browsers. I tried it, it works. Regards Zorba
