I don't know which version of print you have, but with the version
I have, there is a box at the top for printer. If you have used
printtool to setup a printer, you should be able to choose that
printer by clicking on that box. If printtool doesn't have an
entry for your printer, just choose something that is close
if you plan to use the printer for photos. The actual setup for
the gimp print utility is done by clicking on the setup button
next to the printer button. That has a quite wide variety of
printers of the type one might use for printing photos.
The instructions that come with the print installer tell how to
set up the printer for general printing if you want to do that
also.

Rick, if you write an HTML page in any text editor and post it to a web
site, it will render differently in Netscape 4.7x and Internet Explorer
particularly if it has dynamic HTML elements in it. There are also many
differences in how cascading style sheets are implemented and the
corresponding HTML rendered. If you want to find deep discussions of
this, check out http://www.webreference.com
Meanwhile I don't think this question really belongs in a networking
forum. Hopefully the networking regulars will forgive us. I think we
should take these posts off the networking forum.

Subject: Partitioning for Linux
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2001 18:00:44 GMT
I have a multi-boot system with OS/2, Win95 and Linux Mandrake 6.5
aboard, using the OS/2 boot manager to select operating systems. Linux
is installed in single type 83 partition with a type 82 swap partition.
I wish to use my second hard disk drive exclusively for linux, and
re-partition for a root partition and one or more separate user
partitions. The drive is 2 gig.
I am looking for recommendations as to the partitioning and what is a
sufficient size for the root partition.
Under OS/2 and Win95, the only thing in my C: partitions are the
operating system, Everything else is in D: and E: drives. This makes
it easy to periodically re-format and re-install the operating system
partition. I would like to do the same for my Linux system.
I will be installing Mandrake 7.0, but I contemplate wanting to replace
it periodically as improved kernels are released.

You also must change your smb.conf file to accept encrypted passwords.
The password issue probably causes the most trouble for people setting
up Samba for the first time, yet it is not too difficult to work with.

i have seen the wine desktop. It looks like windows 95 or 3.1. The problem
is I
don't get this desktop, went i run the wine command it says all the usage
info,
it doesn't show the desktop. Is there something I'm missing? If so, where is
the desktop stuff? I know codeweavers version of wine, but when I try to
install it via rpm binary it always says Wine is an unsatisfied dependensy,
which means that I don't have Wine on my system. I've uninstalled and
reinstalled wine countless times, but it still won't work.

I saw something like this at a friend's computer (he could afford some
dual-CPU-high-value-motherboard).
The problem/case was that his cd-reader and toaster are at IDE
Secondary, taking hdc and hdd, and then, his harddisks at
UltraDMA-Controller were detected as hde/hdf. This seems to be because
Linux has hda/b for the ide0, ide1->c/d ....
And it seems to "see" the usual IDE before the UDMA66 controller.
As it says in SuSE-Linux 7.1 manual
"what does that *login:* error message mean", I think it's not that
place at which boot process hangs :-) but will be somewhere near the
place where it tries to mount your root filesystem !? In this case I
think you misconfigured your lilo/chos/syslinux/bootmanager to watch
for your root partition at /dev/hda1 or so, and that doesnt work. So
try to use some emergency boot feature perhaps supplied with your
distribution, and try to specify hdex instead of hdax as boot
partition. Or install LOADLIN (dos-based linux-booter). Available in
the net. With loadlin of course your problem is to get your kernel
from somewhere, but with MY distrib, it is somewhere on the DVD (or
CDROM resp.) and so I can use it from there.
Have a lot of fun....

Hello,
I have two IDE hard drives, and I placed Win2K on the first hard drive, and
Linux on the second hard drive.
I installed RedHat 6.2, and placed LILO in the firsts sector of the boot
partition.
I used BootPart to place Linux on the NT Loader menu, but it's not
working,...
I'm currently using the boot floppy to launch Linux.
Now, I would like to have LILO in the MBR; hoping that this will solve the
problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's possible to write HTML that meets standards (I usually write to HTML
4.01 Strict), validates as standards-compliant, renders fine in IE and Lynx
(Mozilla, too)...but looks like sh*t in Nutscrape 4.x. Been there, done
that, have to maintain two sets of pages on a corporate site because of it
(one for standards-compliant real browsers, one lobotomized for Nutscrape).
My favorite "HTML editor" is joe. make, sed, and awk are also parts of my
site-maintenance toolkit. If I'm tweaking a site from within Windows, I'll
use Notepad. I suppose that last one qualifies as a "Microsoft app," but I
don't think it's the one you were envisioning. (I'll allow that FrontPage
is an abomination, and that Word is even worse at HTML generation.)

AFAIK Wine can only start programs, it's not the desktop environment
itself. So, you should give the name of some windows program for it as
parameter.

Boot up linux. Replace the line in /etc/lilo.conf with

Mkae sure that there is an entry for your Win2K in /etc/lilo.conf.

The full path is /usr/src/linux/.config. It'll only be there if you
have compiled a kernel, or your vendor put a default one there.
My point was that Linux on x86 can be compiled with either a 1 GB or a 2
GB per-process address space. If yours has the former (and I don't know
what SuSE ships), then a 1.3 GB executable (or, rather, one that needs
1.3 GB of data space) won't be able to run.
You might want to ask SuSE how they configure their kernel.

The GNU compiler does tend to produce larger executables than others,
but I would be careful about making any kind of comparisons with AIX
using their native compiler. The Power PC and x86 are very different,
and that will make a big difference in the size.

the problem is, GIMP is only letting me print to a file, even if I

Hi, I plan to change the monitor on the Linux box (downgrading from 19'' to
17''). But I'll keep the same video card (matrox m400). What is the
re-configuration I need to do? I don't want to re-run the redhat
installation unless no other options.
Thanks,
