[newbie] Gnome Themes Selector
I just installed Gnome 2.0 through Mandrake Cooker; all seems gone smooth, but only default theme is shown... I do have gtk-themes installed, but they're not listed in the selection box: is just a little bug or something changed, since Gnome 1.4? Smiley Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Printer stops at half work
Hello, I own an Epson Stylus Photo 810, connected via USB; my OS is LM 8.2: when I try to print both an image or even a simple text file, the printer starts but at a certain point it stops (half first page of a three pages document, the last try); I heard, but don't remember where, I'm not the only one with this kind of trouble... Any suggestion, or link? Many thanks Smiley Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Initio SCSI card
I have been trying very hard to get Mandrake 6.0 to see my Initio 9100 SCSI card. Has anyone gotten this to work? I have tried the disks for Red Hat 6.0 at the Initio site. I have tried doing a modprove and adding it to my /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file. I have also tried adding the alias command to my conf.modules file. All of these have not worked. With the Red Hat disks it saw the SCSI card and the drive, but I get a kernel panic when I try to load it. I think that has to do with going from Red Hat to Mandrake. If anyone has any ideas on this can you please let me know because I really need to have this drive running ASAP. Thanks for reading!
