Alright, I'm thinking about buying http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-112-006&depa=0 that heatsink and using my Vantec Tornado as the fan. Will they be compatible? The other version comes with a 80 mm sq. x 25.4 mm fan. Here's a link to it: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-112-007&depa=0 I'm just concerned that my Vantec Tornado won't fit with the heatsink. My Vantec Tornado is 80 x 80 x 38 mm.

I'm going to have to install a blitzz driver for the wireless lan product I have hooked up to be able to connect to the internet. Since I've been having redhat linux 9.0 for little over a week now I have no idea how to install it. Allright would one of you linux smart people translate the following instructions so that a big dummie like me would understand it? Thanks in advance. Here they are... ****************************************** Blitzz BWU613 802.11b wireless USB adapter Linux driver installation instructions 5/8/2003 ****************************************** A.

I need some help with my power supply. Here's my computer. http://reviews.cnet.com/Compaq_Presario_...59.html?tag=tab I now have 768 MB's of ram and a Nvidia 64Mb Video card. I'm getting me a new video card that requires a 300 watt power supply. I have a hideously weak 200 watt. Thank you compaq. What kind of power supply would my computer take? ATX? ESP? Pray tell. Need to be sure before I buy a power supply. Thank you

Oh forget it. I now know that if my system has anything except a 200 watt powersupply, everything fries. Looks like someone's selling a computer. I'm thinking $485. That would give me enough to get a new processor..(athlon 64, babay!) motherboard..(asus) case...(antec)... And meh burfdays comin up. And Christmas. Then I could get the security cameras! Yay. In conclusion, .. F^#% YOU COMPAQ!!!!

Hey, do you have wine on your Fedora Core 2 system? Will it run photoshop? I'm getting a photoshop craving right about now. :x And which one should I download from this page? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241&package_id=77396 Is it hard to install? Does it come with installation directions? Ah! Must... get... Photoshop....

Ok, I got it installed and I'm downloading updates now. Thanks! 8)

Quote: As root, "cd" to the directory where you downloaded these two RPMs and go: I get it all but that part "cd"? What's that mean? Thanks alot for all the help you've given me.

Hey everyone, I was here a while back and I never got linux working properly on my computer. I'm back to give it a second try. Ok, so linux installs fine and boots fine and all that, but I can't get the internet configured! So, one of you guru's please check out my hardware and see if it's compatible with linux. I have fedora downloaded already, but I thought I might sharpen my ax before I chop down the tree so to speak. Well mainly, is my ethernet card compatible with fedora? : VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter If that's not compatible than could someone kindly direct me to a low cost %100 compatible ethernet card? If it is compatible could someone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Any command I might try to get a closer look at my little problem here. Please help someone who is sick of windows!

I have core 2. Installing packages much easier?!? I'm interested.

That command didn't work. I don't think I have XMMS. Could someone give me a link to the installer and some instrctions for the install?

I'm using Rhythm Box 0.8.3. Is there an mp3 plugin for that?

Sucess! The internet worked right out of the box, like you said. But now I'm concerned with the sound. I have a cd full of mp3's and I extract them but I get an error "Could not pause playback" They are now .ogg files. When I test the sound I hear the guitar and everything right but I still can't get my audio files to play.

Model:Compaq Presario S5000CL Motherboard: VIA ProSavageDDR KM266 It's crappy, so if I have to replace it, it'll be a good excuse to get a new one. And while I'm at it I'll grab a new case... and then a new video card and then I'll.... http://www.via.com.tw/en/ProSavage%20Chipsets/km266.jsp<-- There's a site with some information about my chipset. I do have recovery disks. I've used them alot. I have a recovery partition which takes up about 6 gigabytes that I could be actually using. I'm connected through a router with dsl. I'm thinking I'm going delete windows. If something really screws up, I could reformat really easy so... The internet works with my system in windows xp home edition.

Will the error occur If I erase my entire drive and install linux? Or only If I setup a dual boot?

I was using redhat 9.0 at the time and I had DHCP active but it failed. Then I tried to manually set it up at the network configuration thing. I put my ip address in my subnet mask yadda yah, set it to active and no luck. My ethernet card is integrated, by the way. Though, now that I look back on it... I really didn't know what I was doing... I didn't really understand ip addresses. I think I may have used a different ip address than my own. mine is XXX.XXX.XX.2 And I think I used XXX.XXX.XX.3 But I do think I'm better equipped this time. Here's a full spec page of my computer's out of box features. I have added some things though. I added a nvidia card that's linux compatible at dapper dans request. And I now have 768 Mb's of RAM. But anyway, here's the list: General Features: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed AMD athlon XP 2600+ Socket A processor 512 MB DDR SDRAM (1 GB maximum) 80 GB hard disk drive CD-RW/DVD-ROM combination drive 1.44 MB floppy disk drive Integrated ProSavage KM266 graphics w/ 32 MB shared memory Integrated AC'97 audio Integrated 10/100 Ethernet controller 56K V.92 PCI modem Motherboard Features: Via KM266 Chipset One (1) AGP slot Three (3) PCI slots (one occupied) Two (2) 184-pin DIMM slots (one occupied) I/O Ports: Two (2) PS/2 ports One (1) 15-pin standard VGA connector One (1) 9-pin standard serial port One (1) 25-pin standard parallel port Six (6) USB ports (four at back and two at front) One (1) RJ-45 standard Ethernet jack One (1) RJ-11 standard phone jack Line-in, microphone, and line-out jacks Case Features: Two (2) 5.25-inch external drive bays (one occupied) One (1) 3.5-inch external drive bay (occupied) Two (2) 3.5-inch internal drive bays (one occupied) 100-240V, 50/60Hz power supply That should give y'all a closer look at most of my hardware. Case Dimensions: 14.5 x 7 x 16.5-inches (H x W x D) Quote: presume when you say you couldn't get the card working, it was with the distro you tried before? Which version of Fedora will(are) you use(ing), Core 1 or Core 2? I suppose it's core 2, because I downloaded it this week. Quote: If so, is onboard LAN enabled in the bios? Also PNP OS in the bios should be set to NO. I have no idea what PNP OS is, and where do I access the bios? Bear with me, I've only used linux for about a week total, and that was last year. How fast should I burn the iso's? When I burned redhat 9.0, I burned it as fast as it would go, is that wrong? Another question: Was the driver for my type of ethernet card unavailible or something when redhat 9.0 was supported? Or was it just not one of the cards that work right out of the box?

Alright, I'm trying to install redhat linux 9.0 on my system. (I know it's about to expire..) Anyway, I need to keep windows on it too for some apps that I can't afford loosing. So, this is where the disk druid comes in. Or where I need help. Could someone tell me what I need to do to keep windows xp but install redhat on a seperate partision? I have no clue what to do with that part of the installation. I'm not expirenced with linux so bear with me. Thanks in advance.

Allright, so I'm going to have to get a networking card? Where would I be able to find one of these?

Quote: Good post of the issue and instructions. Thanks. Quote: Do you have any experience with wireless networking? A little. Quote: I assume this is a laptop that you are using the device with? No, it's a desktop with a wireless lan adapter. Model #BWU613 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless LAN USB Adaptor www.iblitzz.com>> downloads>> BWU613802.11b 11Mbps Wireless LAN USB Adaptor That's where the driver and instructions are located. Thanks.

Allright, I'm trying to install redhat 9, but it seems that a hardware component is incompatible. I had an Inetgrated ProsavageDRR KM266 with 32 megs of shared video memory. (I know, it stinks) That seems to be incompatible with redhat. What will I have to do? New video card? or a new motherboard? Any suggestion for a good alternative to what I have now that's compatible? Thanks in advance.

Could you give me a specific model of video card that's not expensive but it's over 32mb?

Yeah, the graphical interface wouldn't work. I guess I'm going to buy a video card. I need an excuse ot get a new one anyway. Thanks for the help.

Is there anyway I can buy redhat without paying the money for it at the site?

I need to get linux. I'm thinking either mandrake 9.1 or 9.0. Is 9.1 similar to 9.2? How stable is it? I've had bad expirences with 9.2...

Hm.. Thanks for the advice. I'm definetly getting 9.0 then.

Allright, I've installed linux mandrake 9.2 on my computer. Everything seems fine,though, when I try to boot it up I have a kernal panic error. I tried getting out all the dust in out of the internal fan and restting the memory, but that doesn't work. Instead of making a partision thing, I just cleared my hard drive. And it still doesn't work. Any help will be very appreciated.
