Re: [luau] RedHat 7.3 Gone Totally Weird

[Joe Linux]

The problem with Mandrake was we tried to install KDE 3.0 along with KDE 2.2 and there certainly were problems.  I cured the RedHat problem by formatting the drive and installing Mandrake 8.2 on it.  In other words RedHat is totally gone from my life except for answering posts on this list.


And Warrren here's what somebody suggested from the CLUE list:

Maybe I didn't have the acronym right, I think it's RHNSD, but it stands
for Red Hat (something else go here I think) Network Dameon.  It's like
windows update that happens without you asking basically.  If I'm wrong
here, somebody correct me - but once I install Red Hat ever since 7.0 I
think, I always have to type "setup" as root, go into the "System
Services" and stop that service from running.  Try that and let me know
if that stops your kppp connect attempts.

I tried that and I don't know if I shut off the correct "service," but I still had the same problem, hence the switch to Mandrake 8.2 which is much better for many reasons anyway.

George-

When you installed Mandrake 8.2, you also installed KDE 2.2.2 over KDE 3.0, which may be the cause of your problem.

Your reasoning is completely off base.  Why the heck would Red Hat make
their distribution break if you don't register?

And did you know that with registration, you get free RHN update service for
one computer?
