Perhaps what happened was that I was running 1028x768 mode but the projector only accepted 800x600. Wayne- Did changing your resolution fix that problem? If not, (depending on your laptop) it might have been that the CRT/LCD button wasn't pressed. It should be one of the Function keys on your laptop that you have to press in conjunction with the Fn key. (For my laptop I have to press Fn + F8) When you activate that CRT/LCD button, there are 3 different modes. (You change modes by pressing that combination of keys until you hit the mode you want... for my Dell laptop anyway.) The first mode is a display signal going only to your LCD screen on your laptop and no signal going out of the VGA port, which is what your laptop might have been doing. The second mode is a signal going out of the VGA port, but the LCD screen is completely blank. The third mode is having both LCD CRT signals on. I use the third one because I want to see what slide I'm at, and not have to look at the projector screen. Trying testing this function out with a VGA monitor hooked up to your laptop. I apologize if you knew this CRT/LCD thing beforehand. A little something not directly related to this: I'm dual booting Linux Windows ME on this laptop. On Friday, I had a last-minute presentation to give, but realized that A) I don't have MS PowerPoint and B) I could not install PowerPoint because I left my CD-drive at home. So I was running around like a chicken without its head, trying to share Office 2000 over our network in order to install it onto my laptop. Then it suddenly hit me: I have StarOffice!! So that really saved my butt, and the presentation came out great. (Phew!) :] Elayne Man Mililani High School [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[luau] OT: windows 2000 networking
I have two machines running windows 2000 and I am having problems getting the two machines to see each other. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on my problem. Both machines are connected to a router, which is then hooked up to my cable modem. The router assigns IP's to the machines via DHCP, and the gateway set on both machines are identical, as well as the workgroup. Both machines can browse the internet, but cannot see each other on the network. This same configuration works fine when both machines run windows 98. Does windows 2000 handle netowrking differntly? Am I missing something here? Thanks, Rodney
[luau] interesting post
Thanks to MonMotha, (and Slashdot), I now know that combo DVD burners are on their way. See for yourself, the story posted today at 7:07 pm est at slashdot.org impressive - keeping my gateway safely firewalled and giving me distracting reading material on Sundays (-: thanks for the time. scott

I think that's all that is needed.
[luau] Presario 711 and Mandrake 8.2
Sorry if this is repetitious; I have been trying to reach you guys for some time but having trouble with my email. I am trying to install Mandrake on my wife's Presario laptop 711; so far I have it going, using some tips from Google. This is a double boot with WinXP (ugh). The big problem seems to be getting sound. I have found a patch on the internet, which I copied to my desktop, but cannot get it from there to an ext2 disk, which I believe I have to do, then I have to reboot, hit F1 with the disk in the drive, type in patch, and it will patch the sound, at least I think that is what to do. I guess another option is to copy the patch somewhere in the /src/linux area and then recompile the kernel which I have never done. Can anyone help me with this, perhaps at an install fest. Another question, I have a lot of mounts in my little 4 machine lan at home; if I forget to unmount them all, when I logout or reboot, it freezes because of this, even if I have checked on Komba2 the box that says disconnect on exit. Any ideas? Thanks
[luau] Mandrake on my wife's Presario laptop 711
Alvin If you like Mandrake over RedHat I can understand trying to get it to work. But I recommend RH7.3 which works on just about any Laptop out there and seems to be more flexible. I have installed dual boots on a 10 gig drive with RH7.3 and W2K and they work fine. Even though more space would be nice. Im getting three 30 gig drives from a friend for 3 different LPTs which all run RH7.3 with no problem.
Re: [luau] 2 Bash Questions
Hi Matt, Can't you just redirect the output into a file with something like: make [your options go here] outputfile.txt ? You probably want the very powerful and dangerous rm combo: rm -rf /directory-I-want-to-annihilate. -Jeff Matt Darnell wrote: Aloha all, 1. I am having trouble compiling a program. After I type make I get lots of errors. Is there a way to pipe the output to a file that I can send the manufacturer; insted of having to retype it? 2. Can you make the rmdir delete the entire tree, like the deltree command will do in DOS? Even when I give this option: --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ignore each failure that is solely because the directory is non-empty it won't delete the entire contents. I have to start up X and delete the folder using a file explorer. For any other people new to Linux I found this great site that translates commands back and forth between DOS and BASH.
