yes linux did format the drive as native. did the opposite of what you suggested - windows crashed so i reinstalled it - it doesnt see the linux partition anymore, still not sure why it did in the first place.

i am looking for an antivirus program that will run in linux but will also scan email attachments and incoming data for windows viruses if anyone knows of something like this please pass on the link to it or information about this. thanks

thanks i'll try that i'm running w2k using journalized fs for linux

hi tried red hat 8, gave me no end of trouble. have mandrake 9.1 installed at work, its not bad but i've run into a few problems, mainly cdwriting and network setup. currently playing with debian at home, so far its not bad. looks like suse isnt to bad either, havent tried it though.

hi im trying to burn debian iso that i downloaded onto cd (im using eroaster), my problem is that first eroaster wanted me to log in as root before it would detect the cd writer (gave me permission error), i tried running it as a different user (root) using run command, this unfortunatly still didnt work, so i tried to burn the cd anyway but it still tells me that it cant detect the cd writer. if anyone could help me i would be grateful.

okey, so how do i go about setting that up?

using lilo

i thought so to but when we actually set up the first machine, and booted into windows it came up with a c (windows partition) d (cstudent drive - fro them to save on) e (linux partition - hich when you clicked on it windows said it was not partitioned) and yes these students probably would just because they think its funny to mess the lab up.

i'm using the one's that came with the mandrake 9.1 cd's. but i've also downloaded the latest version havent tried them yet though.

ok tried cdrecord -scanbus gave me this [root@kailinineiraile kailinin]# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 2.0 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright © 1995-2002 Jorg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. [root@kailinineiraile kailinin]# then went into the mandrake control center, went to hardware, this is what it said about the cd writer Bus: ide Drive capacity: burner Channel: secondary New devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd Old device file: /dev/hdc Media class: cdrom i also went through midnight commander to try find dev/sg but couldnt find it, i think this is probably whats wrong but i dont know if it is or how to fix it if it is.

yes i've already tried that but all i get is Couldn`t detect your reader / recorder ! Please make sure that you are root or that you`re allowed to read /dev/sg* ! and when i try write this is what it gives me scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24 /usr//bin/cdrecord: Sorry, no CD/DVD-Drive found in this target.

hi i've set my linux up to work on quite a large network, i can see all the workgroups on the network, but when i click on the workgroup that my pc is in there doesnt seem to be anything in it. i'm running mandrake 9.1, there arnt any domains on this network. if anyone has any ideas please let me know. iain

does anyone know how to mount a usb flash stick in mandrake 9.1?

hi found a novell client for linux, installed it but when i enter ther network settings (tree, context, server, username, password, mountpiont) it tells me that it cant mount, anyone got any ideas on this?

hi i recently downloaded the debian iso's, i was just wondering about making the install disks, do i just burn the iso onto the disk or is there something else i've gotta do? probably a stupid question but i dont know what to do.

thanks, i just realized what the iso's are, being really dof today, sorry.

could someone please tell me what the difference is between Wine and WineX? and which one is better. thanks.

thanks, wine finally works. i got another question for anyone who wants to help, i ran some windows applications in wine, but with another app i tried to run it told me that it couldnt find a certain dll, this dll is sitting in c:/winnt/system32, so my question is how do i configure wine so that this application sees this dll?

i've loaded winex on my pc running mandrake 9.1, know how to install games, but how do i run windows programs that are already installed on my windows partition in linux?

does ny1 know where i can get som cool skins for mandake 9.1?

thanx found some great stuff on both those links.

anyone know of a really good mp3 player that supports winamp skins?

does anyone know of a playstation2 emulator that works properly and works on linux?
