I've currently got Mandrak 9.1 installed on my machine with a whole load of 'contrib' packages from a magazine cover-disc. The same magazine has recently put Mandrake 9.2 on its coverdisc. If I install 9.2 will I: a) be able to updgrade and still use the 9.1 'contrib' packages or be able to install 9.1 'contrib' packages on 9.2? i.e. are RPMs compiled on MDK9.1 compatible with MDK9.2? Cheers, rjl

I'm running Mandrake 9.1 (kernel 2.4.21-mdk13) and have recently bought a 'toy' digital camera. The packaging calls it an 'iConcepts Web Cam 2 Go Kit' but I think its either an SQ702 USB (this main be an Asian name) or an iConcepts 69052. I plugged it in a GTKam popped up but couldn't find a driver for it. I looked on the Internet but couldn't find a driver there either. But I did find some related posts which said about mounting the device /dev/sda to somewhere appropriate. I looked in /dev but there wasn't anything there. The only things in /dev/scsi were the cdrom and cdwriter. I checked my kernel setup and things like USB mass storage are there. Any Ideas? Cheers.

Yes, if I issue: Code: # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/other it says: Code: mount: special device /dav/sda1 does not exist and I've looked in /dev and its definately not there. Actually, I haven't got an entry in fstab for it. Should there be?

I don't seem to have a device called /dev/sda1 or anything similar. But I think I've got all the right modules in my kernel.
