Starting up problem.
Hi all, ust migrated from Windoze to Linux (Mandrake 7.0) and have the following trouble when starting: I get en error message telling me /eth0 could not initialize. My ethernet adpater is NE2000 compatible, and works ok under Windoze95. In which direction should I start digging ? Grateful thanks in advance, Ron the Frog, on the banks of the Paraguay River.

What is possably happening is you have not though enough about what Marc wrote. His "example" is really a perfectly vaild example, its a question of seeing the directory "old" as what you want to copy, and the new as the directory to which you want to copy the files to. Both directorys must be there on your machine. As to your text empty archive, that i cannot seem to simulate, so just what are you doing.?? Exacht commands would be informative. Of course i dont want to step on Marc's toes here, but sometimes Marc answers mails after a few days, hence my reply to you. I did the following: mounted as /mnt/toto the target partition, and created on it all the dirs I want to copy (/bin, /dev, /etc etc.) The issued the command: $ tar cfp - -C /bin . | tar xfp - -C /mnt/toto/bin and got the message I refered to.

KDE vs Gnome ?
The recent thread on KDE not working prompts me to ask a question; I apologize in advance for its probably quasi-theological nature: Which is the better: KDE or Gnome ? Does one have strengths in some areas and the other in other aereas ? my distro (Mandrake 7.0) comes with both, and installs KDE by default. I only noticed Gnome when it came up once after a failed re-installation ;-) Renaud OLGIATI No act of kindness, Cerro Cora 3662 no matter how small, Asuncion (Paraguay) ever goes completely unpunished. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
