salutations
i am a new person to linux i want to state that i may be a slow learner but i
do not believe i am brain dead. here are my problems.
1. when using my redhat 5.2 system at installation it recognizes my par-port
iomega zip and there is no problems. when installing mandrake 6.0 the iomega
is not seen. so i follow both the kernel howto and the zip howto to no
avail.
2. when using redhat 5.2 i can mount floppies with no problem but with
mandrake 6.0 i get the "wrong fs,bad header, to many mounted , blahblah" or
"not a valid block device"
3. my wife does graphics work and i would like my wacom sd420e digitizer and
ati ati-tv wonder video capture board to work.
4. we use an intranet package "ocs" from www.obsidian.co.za which works fine
on rh 5.2 but try to install in mandrake and i get a failed dependancy error
redhat 5.0=>
i really liked my rh 5.2 system and i had been using the kde system with it,
so when i decided to upgrade the kernel and os i chose the integrated
simplicity of mandrake. now i feel it will be easier to return to rh 5.2 and
then upgrade from there.
if anyone would like to tackle the issues as to why there is such an
integration problem with mandrake i would sincerely appreciate the guidance.
thanks in advance
bill temple
