I have 3 large issues with Mandrake 7.1 I need help with...
First, how do I enable XF86 4? I selected to install it (yes, with
expert installation) when it asked, but it seems that I'm running 3.3.6
(at least, rpm -q XFree86 reports so). I need XF86 4 for my NVidia
drivers.
Second, how do I
XFree86 4.01 just came out.
How long will it take for MDK 7.1 RPMs to be made? I need 'em since
XFree86 4 didn't install like I specifically asked it to when installing
MDK 7.1.

, I've got everything up and running, too. I'm mostly all set now,. The only
thing left is getting my NVidia drivers in and seeing about upgrading to XF 4.01
(which has some nice things I need, like mostly-working DGA 1.0 compatibility).

my modem, THEN I could make the

Then I would have to go thru the whole routine again.
You have PPP option under DrakConf/Network Configuration?
Someone please explain then why I _don't_? Where exactly did I wrong?

to check the motherboards
and see if they are Linux compatible (some motherboards are really weird and
thus no drivers work with them yet). But I'd try the partitioning thing
first. Just delete any Linux partitions you made with Windoze and recreate
them with the MDK installer, if it lets you

though, since I hand-create my partitions with FDISK.

gonna wanna look at ipchains, not the hosts.deny/hosts.allow files.
Those are for allowing/denying access to services on your machine. If
that IS what you're looking for, check the man pages (man hosts.allow,

determined to just install with tarball like I did with MDK 7.0...)

make a script like something in /etc/ppp/connect-script, put everything you
want in there (flush postfix quees, run fetchmail, rdate, whatever), and there ya
go.

I just saw the first shipment in Borders, here in Michigan. I was torn
between that and new Ruby book (is that included with MDK 7.2?), but since
I already have the download version of 7.2, I grabbed the Ruby book.
Aren't I evil?
