    All I had to do for my Mandrake box was make sure the Samba processes (SMBD/NMBD) were running in the Mandrake Control Center, edit my /etc/samba/smb.conf file and change the workgroup to the same one I am using on my local (Windows) network.

    As ROOT, run;

     

    #smbpasswd -a username (must match the user name of the windows machine)

     

    Give password x2 of the user (must match password of the user on the windows machine). Then as ROOT, restart the Samba processes by running

     

    #/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop

    #/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

     

    It was that simple with Mandrake. Every windows machine can now access my Linux machine and gain access to their own folders.

    Slackware is the most user unfriendly of all the distros, I have played with it from time to time, and it can be fustrating. I do know it will work in Slackware. You may have to either install it by doing what you were doing, rebuilding the kernel with the proper modules for the sound card, or you can also try downloading the Linux driver and compiling it. What version of Slackware are you using ? There should be a program with slackware you can run, something like a "sounddrake" in Mandrake, which should detect the sound card.

    I am actually using the the RPM version of the WineX code, which I paid for. I run and install SOF2 on Mandrake by installing it partially in Linux (It drops out of the install after CD 1, then I copy the remainder of the files over from the windows partition) change the file permission on the ones I copied over. And it run very well in Mandrake 9 vice running it from a windows partition. There is more detailed informatioin at the www.transgaming.com website.

    Here is the exact URL;

    There are 2 ways you can do WineX,

     

    1. Free by downloading CVS from sourceforge.net and compiling it yourself.

    2. Paying a subscription fee for a year, and have access to all the RPMs for a year. Version 3.0 will be released shortly.

    No but I have 3 of them running under Mandrake with there own type of play. I just downloaded the dedicated server code and ran that instead. But I have been having problems getting all 3 to run at the same time, do to port conflicts and firewall/router settings, so I just fire them up one at a time depending on the game play I want to host. The best site for information and howtos is the following URL;

    Yes, I have a both digital audio and regular audio cable from both DVD and CDRW, going to my sound card. You will have no audio without them. Is your audio volume the same when you play an audio CD and when you download an MP and play it in XMMS ?

    I have an LG burner which works well with Mandrake 9.0, I also have a LG DVD/CDROM both of which are IDE. I do have problems with them which is a know problem with the Super/Automount feature in Mandrake 9.0. I would do some reading at the www.mandrakeusers.org site on it, there is a bundle of info there. I doubt it is kernel problem or module problem. Mandrake 9.0 will detect the drivers during the installation and you will not have to manually do anything once installed, unless you messed the installation up.

    If I am not mistaken, I have not heard of any routers that would not work with Linux, especially Cable. It is simply a matter of configuiring the router with the proper external and LAN settings. I am using a Linksys with bothXP and Mandrake 9 with no problems at all. I also use GuardDog firewall for Linux, but default it denies all, and you have to specify DNS ..etc, the way a firewall should work, not allow everything by default.

    I have Maya 4.5 running perfect in Mandrake 9.0.

     

    The rest of ya all, I had to manually disable automount, and comment out the devices in the /etc/fstab, then mount and unmount the CDs manually as root until the install completed properly. Yeah it is a pain.
