Hello all.. I am running Mandrake 10.1 and I went and installed Bitchx through the package manager but when I go through the menu in KDE I don't see it. Can someone help me out on how to get it started? I'm still a newbie and don't know that much. I don't know much about IRC for that matter. Also would you suggest xchat over the one I mentioned above? Thanks in advance..

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but I have used Slax Live CD and had the same problem as I am about to explain. I just built a new computer for the sole purpose of installing Mandrakelinux. My problem happened using live cd as well but web pages take forever to load in both these browsers. It says resolving for upto 45 to 60 seconds and the pages take forever. However I did a speedtest and the results were what I get with my windows xp set-up.. I use a Linksys router. I searched the net and seen a few fixes to try but not sure which one to do. I am a total newbie to Linux.. I did try one fix that had you go into mozilla and set ipv6 or something like that to true and I did that but no improvement. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

I got it figured out... It had nothing to do with any of the setting changes I did... I went into internet connections and where it says 1st DNS Server I entered the gateway address of my router and clicked ok.. Tried Mozilla and boom its flying.. I know this maybe should go in a new topic but I have tried to use different screensavers that come with the system and I can click on one go through setup and test and hit ok.. But when the screensaver comes on there is just a black screen. The Mandrake Slideshow one works fine. Any Ideas? Linux Rocks..

Why is there only 3 cds for the download? Is this everything? Reason I ask is that everywhere I've looked there were 4 cds.. So I was wondering why only 3 here? Thanks..

I am just using the two browsers that came with it. Mozilla isn't the same as Firefox is it? Did you go out and download firefox? I have DSL.. and I have a Linksys router hooked up.. I went to dslreports and did a speed test and it recordered 1mbit down and 500 kb up... But the pages take forever. Even to just go to google it takes a bit.. I tried one fix which I logged in as root and went to etc/kwrite modules.conf and added the following line alias net-pf-10 off, and then rebooted but that didn't fix it.. So I'm stumped here?

Hi Dan I don't think I explained myself clear enough. But before I installed a linux os I wanted to try a live cd and I did and liked it. I have mandrake 10.1 official on it now.. But they both acted the same with the browser issue. Here is the link to one of the posts I was reading.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/138541 And thanks for trying to help me.. I'm sure its just a setting somewhere that needs to changed. I'm glad I switched from windows to linux. I just need to get a few issues fixed and learn linux..

The computer I built has 512mb ddr .. amd sempron 2500 + cpu.. 120 gb wd 7200 rpm 8m cache..
