Hi Totally new to Linux so please be gentle.
I have installed Mandrake on a computer. I did a clean install, fully removing Windows from the machine. All went well and is running fine however I have just two simple questions. I am running Gnome and when I stick in a CD in the drive with files that are from a CD-R disk that I created on another machine, whilst it sees the files it won`t let me copy them by drag and drop. I get a pencil with a no entry sign and then zero transfer. If I open the file in a paint application I can then save. Is this to do with permissions on the machine. I am operating as a user... 2nd question.. Having installed I decided to put a network card in the machine. This was auto detected at boot but when it asked if I should allow the machine to autodetect it then went to a black screen and died completely, nothing. I had to reset and then got the hard drive checker running. Don`t wan`t to do that too often. Any ideas. I didn`t have the machine actually networked at the time, just the card installed. Could be a faulty card. Anyway hopefully someone can help. At last Linux... I am so pleased. scuzz http://www.commodore-amiga-retro.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
