I am a total newbie of linux. I try to install mandrake v10. cd1 does boot..but it prompt out "that cdrom disk does not seem to be a mandrake linux installation cdrom". why? I have also tried booting from cd2 but it still says "that cdrom disk does not seem to be a mandrake linux installation cdrom", after that i insert cd1 again but it still still say "that cdrom disk does not seem to be a mandrake linux installation cdrom". why? can anyone help me?

I would really like to have a gmail account as a new year present.. email: m_moon01@yahoo.com thank you.

how do i get rid of the LILO bootloader...anywant know?

then how do i get rid of the lilo that is installed in my mbr?

well, I am using windows xp... yes...correct... I am using mandrake 8.1

I just want to remove the lilo in my current pc, and going to take out the hd that installed linux to another computer...my lilo is currently installed inside my mbr..

how to online wf mandrake 9.1 mandrake 9.1 can detect my modem at dev/tty0

how to run a .exe file on linux? or does linux run their applications in .exe file too?

how to let linux to detect and to mount my pen drive?

what is the executable file for linux?

hhhmmmm.... noone seems to know the answer..

this is one of my experience wf linux... there are several times i cant get into any of the X after i have installed my mandrake 9.1..guess wat? i went back to my windows XP, format the harddisk that i have used to install linux, and reinstall the mandrake 9.1 again.. it will somehow give you basically what you want after several times of installation...

after all sorts off trouble..the cdroms on my linux are mounted after i decided to reinstall everything... but still...there are no response after i have clicked the "run config tool" when trying to config my sound card..my soundcard are still not detected..

basically how much disk space or percentage of disk space do u guys allocate to your /root, /home, /boot, and others?

yup, without the swap partition, and with at least 512mb of RAM, it really boost your linux very much..

how to mount the my cdrom and cdrw, as well as my floppy drive? i referred to the book which ask me to type for example: mount -t /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom but it doesnt work for me.. an i dont have the permission to mount it.. further more, isnt that the cdrom suppose to be at /dev/cdrom ? but at the mandrake control center, it shows me that my cdrom is hdc..and my cdrw is hdd...should't them be cdrom and cdrom1 ? the sound card...there is no responce when i clicked the only button "run config tool" while i was trying to configure my sound card..

but i cant find my display card model in the list.. and my soundcard is not detected yet...i am using an onboard soundcard.. where should i mount the cdrom and cdrw mount point? and y it give my an error message of something like cannot open or find kfmclient??

hey...not bad... without the linux swap partition, the OS really has a better performance... basically, my linux display look fine..but i dont really know whether the configuration is suitable for my display card...my display card model is Asus V9520 Magic GeForce FX 5200.. and where to setup my soundcard? i cant anywhere to set it up.. my soundcard is an onboard built-in sound card of ASUS P4P800 motherboard.. and also, it seems like my old dial-up modem is not working as well.. haha...i am really a linux dummy..

by the way, my sound card is an onboard built-in sound card of ASUS P4P800 motherboard..

well, I install my mandrake 9.1 on to another 4GB hard disk..this hd is only for linux...I have another os on my system which is winxp and that is install on a different hard disk.. my cdrw drive is a lite-on. I didnt partition my drive when installing mandrake..i just let mandrake did everything for me.. i suppose when u have enough hard disk space, u should let your linux swap partition to have the same amount of space as your amount of memory RAM, to let linux to have a better performance, correct? which is I now have 512 RAM and i should let the swap partition to have 512 MB of space, correct? but the problem is, my swap partition now has only 243mb, how do i change my swap partiton space to 512MB ? (one of my memory is not attached properly, this is because I didnt attach it properly the other day when i remove it for a moment, and i just discovered that the memory was not attached properly a few moments ago.) so..do I need to reinstall the mandrakelinux in order to get the swap partition space right? or I can adjust it without reinstalling?

well, i brought it from my friend tho...didnt know how he get it..and i didnt ask... anyway, i have now turn to mandrake 9.1...and i have install it..but i cant get my sound card to be setup..how do i set up the sound card?

thanks for your help...the problem is...i brought those CDs...

can I just burn the new CDs from the existing CDs that I have but with lower burning speed?(better for me).... or i must burn CDs out from the ISO?

I just have a cdrw drive on my pc...which means i use the cdrw drive as my cdrom drive...is this the problem? but i dont think so...

I would also like to have a gmail account. Please invite me. Thank you. m_moon01@yahoo.com
