[newbie] gurpmi problem
As someone here suggested i've tried to use gurpmi instead of kpackage. When i run gurpmi from the command line it gives me an error: Everything is already installed! I've seen that this problem has been already posted, but i don't understand how can it be solved. TIA, Filipe Dinis - Portugal Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] gurpmi problem
It was probably me who recommended it. From the command line you might as well use urpmi since all gurpmi is, is urpmi with a little GUI wrapped round it. I was suggesting associating gurpmi with the mime type rpm so it would open when you clicked on an RPM in konqueror and such like. If you do want to use gurpmi from the command line you have to give a package name as a parameter. For example gurpmi mozilla derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Derek, i've searched the mail-archive and now i know that i must put gurpmi to use x-rpm in the kdefileassociations. In the command line don't we must type the full name of the package? Say: gurpmi k3b-0.7.5-1mdk.i586.rpm tks Filipe Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Linux W2000
In my case, has i said before, PM7 worked fine to make a new partition for my linux. But first you must do the following steps before using it: - Scandisk and Defrag - Backup all you important data (just in case) Ando go for it! The worst that can happen is that you'll have to reinstall your windows. :) But look at the good side: You'll have then a fresh new system.

Re: [newbie] Startup smb problem
Stephen, First of all, sorry for the delay. Here's a stupid question: How can i send you guys my smb.conf? I opened it on kwrite but the file is to damn long and there are some parts that don't are important to send. Must i attach the file to the email?

Re: [newbie] alternatives
I also have dual boot with mdk9 and win2k. Does win4lin work with win2k? I thought that it doesn't! I want to run my two best win programs in linux: Photoshop 7 and Freehand10. I'm trying to put my vmware running to do what i want but win4lin does seems to a nice alternative. cheers, filipe - Original Message - From: Brandon Vanderberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 10:09 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] alternatives -Original Message- From: Aaron Mehl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I have a dual boot mandrak 9.0 and w2k. Even with all the complexity of linux I much prefer it over w2k. Did you look a win4lin?? This is not a toy like wine is. The problem with vmware is the price and I tried the demo and was not so impressed with performance, although those who know how to tweak it say they can get it to rock. My understanding is that win4lin doesn't work with any Direct X apps. The second PC is only a Pentium 200 w/ 64MB. So I may go with bsd or a very light mdk install in the next go'round. Not sure yet. I am trying to blow away w2k as soon as I can. This is getting me crazy rebooting. and I am wasting disk space as well. my advice is don't jump for mandrake 9.0 so fast. I have used many distributions. Redhat, Suse, debian, and mandrak. I've only used BSD, RH5, RH8, mdk7, 8, 8.1, 8.2, and now 9. Of those, I'm most impressed with 9 as a user desktop. To me, it had the best chance of getting an old window user to make a full switch. The only one that has been problem free has been Redhat. Debian is cool but not for the faint hearted. Suse is way to big. I use Mandrake cause someone hacked it for audio applications. otherwise I would be using Redhat. For networking applications, (nessus, bb, mrtg, fwlogwatch, and the like), I'd also pick 9.0, though I've run other versions in production with no problems major issues. I think that's something I failed to mention in my first post... I'm totally happy with the choice of mdk as a dedicated work box, so long as I can rdp to a MSTS that has Visio on it. (Also gets me Exchange calendar and resource scheduling.) (this is all just my opinion) Since I missed your thread on the Mandrake newbies, what do you use visio for, and what alternivies did you try on linux?? I've used dia, kivio (what's with the $10 stencils???), and another I can't remember. Don't get me wrong, I can draw a decent network diagram in any of these. I just can't pass these documents back and forth to customers, management, and co-workers with ease. lol Aaron ~Brandon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
