RE: [expert] Pentium 200Mhz/MMX and Mandrake - Resource Efficient?

The real question is what you want the machine to do :) For example, I have an old PC/XT clone I still use as a terminal for an AMD K6-2/350 system and a 386sx/25 (ex-doorstop) running as a firewall/router. Doesn't there come a point when using a machine as old as an XT clone actually costs

[expert] SMB Printer Printing in Hi Quality Mode

Could anyone tell me how to tell my HP1120 printer, which is connected to a Win98 (soon to be Win2K Pro) workstation, to print the jobs I send to it from my Linux machine (Drake 7.1) via SMB in Normal or Econo-mode? Everything I print from Linux now prints in fine quality mode and takes a LONG

RE: [expert] Metro-X

I've never used this drive, but are you mounting manually or is supermount handling this? Are you sure it is mounting with the correct filesystem type? What file system types do these drives use? Can I format a type using any FS I want? (ext2fs, fat16, fat32, hpfs, ntfs, etc.) -Original

[expert] Kernel Upgrades on SCSI system

If I use MandrakeUpdate to download the new kernel and headers (2.2.16), what do I need to do to install the new kernel prior to rebooting? ie, rerun lilo, anything special since my box is all SCSI (hd's, cdrom)? John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC. Mandrake Linux 7.1 (2.2.15)

[expert] Auto Install of 7.1 Skips Network

Is it normal for the auto-install of 7.1 to skip the installation of my network adapter and the configuration of TCP/IP? This seems a bit odd. The nic is a 3c59x compatible 3c905B-TX. A quick reconfig with DrakConf had everything up and running in no time. John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise

[expert] Missing Themes/Styles in 7.1 install of Window Maker

It seems that the extra tarball containing the default themes and styles was not used when setting up the Window Maker RPMs for 'Drake 7.1. Am I correct or are these just in a different spot than where the menu seems to think they are? John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC.

[expert] SCSI Bus Resets on Install of 7.0/6.1 with 2940U2W

Upon installing 'Drake 7.0, I wind up stuck prior to "second stage" with SCSI resets. Tried to install 6.1, same problem. The messages indicate timouts on SCSI ID 0, and "trying harder" is the next indicator. This appears to be an endless loop. I've seen this problem posted before, but no
