I used to have that same problem when i just started out using linux. I burnt all the cds only to realsie that all of them were bad. Anyway ur prob right. The ISOs are bad. Possibly its the burning process. Just check the md5 checksum by doing this. md5sum iso name And keep the burning at a medium speed.

Just go to the amsn homepage and get the RPM for RH 8. Then either doubleclick it or go the console and use cd / (directory amsn rpm is located in) then rpm -Uvh (amsn filename) to install.

I m using Fedora Core 2 and i really need sfdisk to get my Win XP back up as i reinstalled my Linux recently and the boot problem's recurred. However i discovered that i do not have sfdisk on my computer. Previously with FC2 i had it but not this time. Where can i find it and if you know where, could you tell me where can i find it in the FC2 cds?

I did an rpm- q and i got this util-linux-2.12-18 So i got it installed but somehow i don't have cfdisk or sfdisk.

I used the GeForce 4 MX 440 some time back and it worked fine with rh8, rh9 and FC2. You might want to go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-6106.html to get the NVIDIA drivers. Should work for your card.

You can change your splash screen by downloading new ones at www.gnome-look.org As for installation im not very sure. Follow the instructions in the site. I'm a KDE user. Don't use GNOME often.

Try Google. Thats how i learnr all about linux. And welcome to the community!

I installed TORCS using RPMs and i installed the game data , tracks and robots packages. However, whenever i start the game and select a race, the game shuts down automatically and i get this error msg on the console. z-buffer depth: 24 alpha channel : enabled antialiasing : enabled WARNING: ssgLoadTexture: Cannot determine file type for './(null)' Bad Car category for driver cylos1 Bad Car category for driver LLiaw Bad Car category for driver Tanhoj Bad Car category for driver Player Bad Car category for driver Tita No driver for that race... Help me!

I just installed wine in fedora core 2 but I have no idea where the wine-c folder is so i cant check where my windows installed apps are. I checked /usr/share but its not there. Someone help me here?

I intend to install Warcraft 3. I would use Cedega if i could but i'm still a student and have no access to credit cards.

FC3 doesn't seem to have any new features yet. Still KDE 3.2 and GNOME 2.6.

I installed using the rpms. I did a locate wine and found this home/dangel/.wine/drive_c With dangel being my user account name. However i cant see anything in the directory at all.

Agreed. ATI has only supported linux recently and their drivers are still not as polished as that of nvidia.

But the apt repositories are pretty limited.

I have experienced problems as well in this forum where i keep getting error msgs.

Does anybody have spare Gmail account links?

Although i haven't tried out USB 2.0 devices in FC2 yet (still using USB 1.1), I have read that USB 2.0 is supported from kernel 2.5.2 onwards and since FC2 is using the 2.6 kernel, USB 2.0 should be supported. As for your inexpensive and easiest way, just download the ISOs from the red hat mirrors.

Basically most distros are the same with a few exterior differences. The working environment which is the Desktop will most likely be either KDE or GNOME so what won't be a problem. As for the part abt being left behind, that won't be problem because older distros normally have greater software compatibility than newer stuff like FC2 (miss those days with rh9 man). And you've chosen a right distro. A newcomer to linux shouldn't use latest distros as these have a helluva bugs and it would be hell for a new guy to figure out all those.

Thanks for the advice.

I currently have fedora core 2 and win xp on a single hard disk in my pc. I intend to remove the win xp installtion and reinstall. How do i restore the grub bootloader after that cos i know that the windows bootloader will overide the grub bootloader.

It's excellent. Thanks for the links.

I just installed amsn using the linux installer and i installed it into the /usr/local directory. However, once i installed, i realised i cant use it. Someone help me here?

How do i install linux installers? I thought they looked like shell scripts so i used the sh command but it doesn't work . Anybody help me?

I think it should install.

Try using wine. www.winehq.net
