Mouse pointer in KDE

[Tamas . GAIDOSCH]

Hello, 

I wonder why do I get an X shaped mouse pointer in KDE 1.1.1. under slink.
It happens when I move the pointer to the desktop.  Its no big deal, but it
doesn't happen with other window managers.  When I start kwm from
WindowMaker, it doesn't happen either.

File system questions

[Tamas . GAIDOSCH]

 Hi everybody,
 
 Is there a way to read/write an NTFS drive in slink?
 (I coud not find a driver in modconf.)
 
 How can I use the nls_* file system types?  I guess I need 
 nls_cp852 and/or nls_iso8859_2 for Hungarian nls support, 
 but I found no difference after I installed them.
 
 Thanks,
 Tamas

How to fully utilise a 10 GB harddisk

[Tamas . GAIDOSCH]

Hi folks,

I got a 10 GB IDE harddisk (/dev/hda), but cfdisk 0.81 of slink only sees 
approx. 7.5 GB of it:  
240 heads x 63 sect/track x 1023 cyls = 15467760 total sectors

How can I use the missing 2.5 GBs?

The machine is a rather up-to-date PIII.  It came with NT Wstn preinstalled,

and that saw all 10 GBs.  After I erased NT and tried to reinstall it 
(surptise, surprise), the NT installer only saw approx. 8 GBs...

This is a bit confusing to me.  I try to RTFM, but any help would be
appreciated.

How to make work an Intel PRO/100+ PCI ethernet card

[Tamas . GAIDOSCH]

Hi people,

I am wrestling with the subject card, which is intagrated
in a Compaq Deskpro EN.  I use slink. I tried all the Intel 
net modules with modconf, but without success.  I get 
constantly the  XXX: init_module: device or resource busy message,
XXX being the pathname of the module.  Any ideas what to do next? 
(Besides buying a well-known adapter, of course :-)).

Ray, Halis,

Thanks, it works now with eepro100.  I had to change the BIOS settings.
(Disabled the 'fancy' features.)

 I've used the eepro100 module with this card.  I didn't do anything
special
 but I was using a newer kernel (2.2.5).

Instaling slink on Compaq Deskpro

[Tamas . GAIDOSCH]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install slink on a Compaq Deskpro EN Series SSF.  
I am newcomer to Linux, so these questions might be trivial...

1. I have a 10GB hard disk, but cfdisk shows only slightly less then 8 GB
total capacity.  
What's wrong?

2. What networking module should I select for the built-in ethernet adapter?
The documentation that came with the machine does not contain any useful
information.

3. Will XFree run with the built-in video adapter ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2X?
I searched debian.org and it seems to me that it is not supported... Any
workaround?
