    Need Help Mandrake 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You need to be a little more specific on what's going on, such as what happened when you typed those commands? What is currently on your screen?

    Lindows/Linspire

    And if I had money coming out my ears, then maybe I'd choose the option to pay over the free version! But for now I'll stick with my free Linux (using Knoppix to test compatibility, then will test again with Mandrake Move, then install either Redhat Fedora Core 2 or Mandrake 10.0, haven't decided yet but that's another topic for another day!)

    Lindows/Linspire

    Ok, yeah I knew Linspire is not known as Lindows due to Copyright. Also I kind of suspected it wasn't talked about much due to the fact you need to pay money. It looks like a pretty decent newbie Linux though, too bad they didn't have a free version (maybe just have no Tech Support for the freeloaders like Mandrake, or maybe just not have access to all the CNR programs without paying).

    Lindows/Linspire

    Just wondering what's going on with that... is Lindows like a front end/desktop for Linux, or is it like a completely different distribution? It looks like it's a distribution all on it's own, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it, or see it mentioned on sites discussing the different distros. Just curious, thanks!

    Mouse not functioning in Mandrake

    Yeah I'm very doubtful it's a CDR problem, it doesn't report any files being corrupt or anything, so I'm gonna try the USB to PS/2 coverter. I picked it up and will let you know how it goes. Anyway I'm a complete newbie and have no idea where or how to get to the XF86Config-4 file (it's not installed yet anyway, seeing if I can clear up the mouse problem) but if the PS/2 mouse works and I can install with no problems, then I'll work on getting the USB mouse to work post install. Thank you for your help everyone, expect to see a post here as soon as I get started on this (probably won't get a chance until Sunday). I'll need to know how to change the config to make the mouse work, either that or get the new kernel version. All of which is greek to me due to being a Micro$oft user. Thanks for everyone's help!

    Mouse not functioning in Mandrake

    I have an MSI KT3 Ultra(MS-6380E) motherboard. It has USB 1.1 that has given me no problems before. It has 2 USB ports, and a device that plugs in that gives an additional 2. But I am using one of the standard ports for the mouse. When I burned the ISOs, they were burned fairly fast I suppose, @ 40X, but I don't think there is a problem with the CDs. I only have a problem about 1 out of every 40-50 CDs I burn, but I probably should have been more careful burning an OS . Does anyone have the MD5 Checksum number for these CDs so I can check for sure?

    Mouse not functioning in Mandrake

    Ok it seems I don't have that PS/2 adapter right now, so that is out of the picture. But as for this USB mouse, it doesn't look good. I had the mouse unplugged, along with all my other devices (besides keyboard) and same thing. I start up the install program and there's no mouse movement. Now everytime I try it the screen doesn't even come up that lets me choose what type of mouse I have. Any other ideas? Thanks again!

    Mouse not functioning in Mandrake

    Thanks for the tips. I will go do some more messing around and see what I can figure out. I don't have another mouse right here, but if I search around I will probably find my USB -> PS2 Adapter. I'll let you know what happens, thank you so much for the help.

    Mouse not functioning in Mandrake

    I tried both. When I had only the mouse plugged in, started the computer from a cold boot, then still nothing. Then I started the installation program, took out the mouse and plugged it into another USB Port. Still nothing. One thing I noticed is that there are two lights on the mouse, the optical light that tracks the movement, then there is also one on the back, (assuming it's just for looks). That light on the back is always on in Windows, and it wasn't on for some reason while installing Mandrake. The optical light was on though, so the mouse is still getting power. I have no idea what is going on, looked through the Bios, tried messing with some settings for Legacy USB devices, still no dice.
  11. I am a first time Linux user, looking to get started with this Operating System. Just sick of Windows and like the whole idea behind open source and whatnot. Anyway I installed the newest version of Mandrake that I downloaded (Version 10 Official) and have successfully started the installation program. Right off the bat, I get no mouse. No matter what I do or what type of mouse I choose from the setup menu, it will not move or register clicks. It is just a simple Microsoft 2 button wheel USB optical mouse. I tried unplugging all other USB devices but still no dice. It works fine in Windows (of course) and have had no problems with it. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
