Will MDK accept a new graphic card?

If you install a new card, when you boot the change will be
detected. If any drivers are required, you will be prompted
for the appropriate disk from your install set..

I've done this on earlier versions of Mandrake.. Can't
guarantee it will work in 10..

But even if it doesn't work, it shouldn't be hard to fire up harddrake
and reconfigure things..

Upgrading Debian Woody distribution

Be careful. Do you want to upgrade the distribution or just some packages?

The key to everything is the /etc/apt/sources.list file. I keep versions
for stable, testing, and unstable, then "apt-get update" using the one
I'm interested in at the moment.

What I'd do is point your sources to either testing or unstable,
depending on how close to the edge you want to get, then do "apt-get
update". After that, do "apt-get install <package(s) you want updated>"

For example, you can get KDE 3.1.4 from testing, or 3.2.1 from unstable.
Either is a major improvement over the 2.2 in stable.

"apt-get upgrade" will upgrade all of your packages. I do not recommend
doing this. Even in testing, some may not work properly with other
packages. At least when you're doing it a package at a time, you have
some control and lots of feedback as to exactly what's going to happen.
Keep an eye on the packages that are to be removed!

When the next stable release comes out, you can do an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" to get it. You can also do it to get the current testing
or unstable release, but as per "apt-get upgrade", I wouldn't do it.

How to fix this XFree86 error?

Posted: 10 Apr 2004 08:22 PM PDT

Thanks Mark & Tim,
Mark-I indeed use kernel 2.6.3.
Tim:
Yes, the menu has sub-menus, and, as there are additional menus, I have to
use all my screen area.
I'll look later at the driver you have referred.

Thanks again.

How do you choose a Linux distro?

When you get tired of all the "specializations" that other

dependancy hell, "wizards" that hide simple settings, etc.; you may find
you are looking for another type of user-friendliness altogether. When
you get there, you'll be ready for Slackware.

Distro for older PC

Methinks that comment from the Vector webpage is merely marketing.
It makes no sense otherwise. If they can whittle down Slackware
to Vector Linux then the only difference is someone else is making
decisions. And considering some posts I've seen, Vector leaves out a lot
of things that is included with Slackware, out of some philosophy that
it all should be on a single CDROM. So, I gather, they leave out
plenty of console applications, but make sure the X based stuff
is in place. Ironic, since it's X and the desktops that make
an "old computer" suffer. And if you leave off one X based application,
all the left out console stuff could be included.

RH 9.0 and Microsoft Intellimouse PS2

Yes there was a slash. But I gave up. I've been struggeling with RH
9.0 now for many days and I dont know for how many hours.
 

I have 64MB in the computer. Gnome or KDE is not to be considered as
lightweight window managers I suppose? Is that the reason why it's not
possible to get the mouse working and somtimes also not the keyboard
do you think? Linux in textmode works fine however as soon I start X
everything stops. I was able to run Gnome with the keyboard( I think
it is Gnome anyway?) when I disconnected the Intellimouse. However
when I reconfigured and changed the mouse to generic PS/2 with "setup"
in linux then both keyboard and mouse stops working when X is started.

How to get hold of Knoppix? I was thinking of using slackware instead
of redhat?

It's a lot of work anyway but hopefully I learn something. At least
now I've learned som basic linux comands. ;-)

Don't know if above makes the situation any clearer however I need a
sholder to cry on! Thanks anyway Andy for you reply!

Go into Yast/Yast2 and search for kernel packages, then install the ones

If that does not make sense to you, it's probably better for you to go to a
Linux-user group meeting nearby and get some hands-on introduction. They
will love to install your winmodem ;->>>
