I have not tried this but I quickly looked in the latest vanilla kernel and in the latest 2.6.0 kenel. the joystick will work under both kernels but Force feedback support is only included in development kernels linux-2.6.0testtX. The good news is that Your particular joystick has specific force feedback support. exert from .config linux-2.6.0test6 Code: ## USB Human Interface Devices (HID)#CONFIG_USB_HID=yCONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=yCONFIG_HID_FF=y# CONFIG_HID_PID is not setCONFIG_LOGITECH_FF=y# CONFIG_THRUSTMASTER_FF is not set# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set# CONFIG_USB_AIPTEK is not set# CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set# CONFIG_USB_KBTAB is not set# CONFIG_USB_POWERMATE is not set# CONFIG_USB_XPAD is not set I would recomend you give it a try the development kernel is very stable and I am sure it will become oficially released very soon.

Open a console and type Code: ls /mnt/ Please post what you find...

Mandrake should have mounted your windows partition at /mnt/windows_c The mounting of these partitions is automated at boot, by /etc/fstab. If for any obscure reason it is not mounting at boot you will need to mount manually. as root. Code: mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/wherever X = the partition number.

You should be good to go. if /dev/sda1 does'nt work try /dev/sdb1.

Can you see your device in /proc/bus/usb/devices ? post this file if in doubt.

please post exactly what you typed and the error it gave you.

To mount external usb Harddrive. Code: # mount -t vfat /dev/sdaX /mnt/wherever X = 1-4 Primary partition. 5 or greater Logical partition. What you most likely have is your first primary partition is a extended partition which has been divided in logical partitions. so in this case your first partition would be /dev/sda5. to view partitions try Code: # fdisk /dev/sda <p> to view actual partitions on disk.

It is advisable before burning any large .iso to a disk to compare the md5sum. Most download mirrors provide the file and its md5. All you will need is the Md5sum program for MSdos.

Usb support is in the kernel so it is pretty much distribution independant. But you will need to compile the modules as part of the install. Bear in mind the first time you install Gentoo you will probably compile the kernel at least 10 times untill you get the hang of it and of what you need.

Ok I'll try explain iit simpler. 1. Boot with Mandrake Install cd 1 2. Follow installation up and till the Disk Drake. (drakX partition wizard 9.1) 3. Choose "Custom partitioning" 4. Your windows partition will most probably be hda1 (DO NOT TOUCH IT!) 5. You at minimum will have 2 other partitions hda5 / and hda6 swap (Example) 6. You need to delete these partitions, Click on the partitions you wish to change > delete, you will be left with an un partitioned block. 7. You now click on the empty block "Create partition" set the Size slider to max. set Fliesystem type FAT32. set mount point /mnt/win_d 8. Then click on done it should ask you to format go ahead.(ONLY FORMAT THE NEW PARTITION!) 9. The Mandrake install will now complain that you have not made a root partition. Simply Power down by hitting you P.C. power switch. 10. Insert Windows boot media (win98 boot floppy winXP install Disk or winXP rescue floppy) 11.Boot up to a dos Terminal. 12 type > fdir /mbr 13. Reboot you are done no more lilo or Mandrake.

Download the winXP installation rescue disks from MS.http://techtips4u.com/downloads/ As far as re-partitioning. If you installed any linux you will have at minimum have made 2 partitions, a root partition and a swap parttion. You will want to repartiton so that they become 1 and format it to fats32.

To get rid of mandrake and lilo. insert your mandrake install disk and re-partition your linux partions, and format them to fats32. Then reboot. Then boot windows with a win 98 boot disk or winXP install disk. Basically you need to get an dos console and type Code: fdisk /mbr But dont give up on linux it is hard but well worth it!

If you need help please post more information. Your hardware XFree86.0.log XF86Config-4

Works Great with wine 20030813. fake windows Gentoo1.4rc3 2.6.0test5 kernel I had to compile a kernel with oss drivers could'nt get alsa drivers to work with it.

Americas Army is out for linux. get it at www.gentoo.org download live cd iso 500Mb approx. You can boot the live cd and play and or copy the files to your harddrive. The files are:- /opt/armyops170 The executable is:- /opt/armyops170/System/armyops-bin I have a feeling it is a beta, because I have not seen anything posted by icculus to confirm a final release. Can anyone confirm this?

will my dvd player (LG 8160B) reproduce us dvd (region code 1) I am in europe (region code 2). I remenber that power dvd or maybe win dvd had an option to switch region codes a maximum of five times. Is this governed by the licenced css software(PowerDVD, WinDVD) which I am led to think. or by the hardware (DVD player). If it is governed by software Xine should most definately be able to reproduce any region code as it is un-licenced decss. On the other hand if it is governed by hard ware is there any way to change the dvd players firmware. Can anyone confirm, and or shed any light on this topic.

Hi, You should be able to mount the camera as an external hard drive as follows. Make sure the camera is switched on. Plug into a usb port. you should have the correct usb modules installed for your mother board either ohci or uhci. you will also need to have usb mass storage loaded as a module. Dont worry most Distributions have all this all ready set in the default kernel config. All you need to do now is create a mount point. Code: # mkdir /mnt/camera and then mount the camera Code: # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera You will now beable to access your cameras files as if it where a harddrive. To view photos I recommend gqview has exif support also. As far as the sound card goes trywww.alsa-project.org

Just bought my favorite film "Where Eagles Dare" region code 1 I am in Europe and the dvd play's perfectly in Xine. Just as I figured, region decoding is software dependant, that or my Ide cd player is multiregion!

Did you have a bootloader manually installed on second harddrive since raid will most likely not mirror MBR

Code: mkdir /mnt/flash Code: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash

Quote: One thing for sure i know, an upgrade for the next yea i will need I am itching for a geforce FX5900 but a faster CPU would make more differrence, I presently have a GF4 Ti 4200. If AMD 3000XP drops under 200 EUROS I will be seriously tempted. Anyhow any upgrade change right now i feel unneeded and unprudent since Doom 3 at this rate will not be out untill the second half of 2004. And we all now that hardware prices will drop by then and there will probably be newer faster cpu's, gpu's.

Having and alternate booting method is always a good idea, but not imperative as long as you are able to repair or reinstall your boot loader, be it grub or lilo.
