high iccaros. dis regard the post i just sent .i printed your reply and went and fired ther p2 . and when it querried the cdrom i went back and typed mandrake no acpi. pressed enter and now im starting to install mandrake 10. my am i happy. it says the resources are low not sure wgat that means. my hdd is 4.8. and ive just installed another 128 of ram which gives me 200mgs of ram. it may not be reading all of the memory. would i be able to keep in touch with you linux people on my progress . and of course ile need your help. hey im so happy. hey iccaros you know your stuff . thanks

hi iccaros. aftewr studying your post,i think you are correct yes it does say [you boot the cd and it startes the cd and says searching for atapi cdrom (or in english not BIOS speek looking for ide cdrom] how ever at this stage it says it cant detect the cd rom. how ever i just tried it in my p3 and it goes through the process of installing. so you are right my board in the p2 is probably to old. i would like to put mandrake on this p3 . but i also have xppro on it. and the last time i had mandrake on a dual boot with xp i had al sorts of trouble my Q if i dual boot xp and mandrake 10. i

sorry for being a bit late with this thread. i have the first boot from the cd . and it says trying to detect the asapi cd rom . which it cant find. do i need to type a command to do this or does it configure it automaticcally . the problem with me is i think in terms of windows. and not of another operating sys.so i hope you guys will bare with me. sorry if i seem vague but with linux im not sure how to explain my delema . marty

hi team i bought mandrake 10 today for $2. and when i started to load.it dosent detect my cdrom .now ive used this cdrom for several instaltions and each time it has detected my cdrom . and worked does this mean i need to get drivers for my cdrom so mandrake 10 can detect it and are they linux compatable. i used this cdrom to load mandrake 9.1 it detected lycoris . so im not sure why mandrake 10 hasent found my cd rom . and if i need to get drivers for this cdrom where do i go for them. most operating sys detect cd auto. any ideas thanks

hey team look what picked up .friend who has eye troubles through diabetes uses this communicate i cant vouch for it but i know it is goverment approved in my country. for the blind. ive scanned for virus and spyware .and it comes up with nought. but no one can ever be sure it is clean . tho so far my sys is ok. it is called rocket technologies here

hi iccaros when i bought the modem i made sure it was linux compatable.and it says on the label. when i had mandrake on a dual boot with winxp the modem was working fine but i elected to put those mandrake and xp on different compts as stand alone. and couldnt configure that modem into mandrake. the person who emailed me about lycoris and said leave it alone. is the rep for linux drivers for 536ep modems. but he was trying to help by email and im not that compt literate to be able to do it by email. so he suggested i try ubuntu.which will fit on a p2 . instead of mandrake 10 .which would

sorry i didnt see the other post until ide posted mine sorry bout that marty

hi team look what i found .so be care ful out there.i got it from another board . al i know is what ive posred here but ile hunt for more info New virus camouflaged as screensaver -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New virus camouflaged as screensaver Posted Thu, 09 Dec 2004 A virus that spies on keystrokes and downloads passwords and bank account details is circulating among emails, masquerading as a screensaver designed by internet portal Lycos to attack stammers, a watchdog warned on Thursday.

Hi Marty, If I'm understanding you right, it sounds like you just need to take the CD out, make sure your BIOS is set to boot from the floppy drive before the HD and put the boot floppy in, then restart....sorry if I'm misunderstanding the problem hey icarros, hitest's link gives a no such file error....after diggin' around a couple message boards I found this link for the 45 day evaluation.....think that's the best you're gonna find....linux not free?...UGH! tictoc you could be right i will try your suggestion tho i may not stay with it if you read the email i posted from some one wh

hi team this is an email i got from a rep from the modem company that configured my modem .on mandrake 9.1 . he obviously has tried lycoris so it makes interesting reading. Hi Marty, I have tried lycoris and yes it is a bit too much like windows for my liking. The main thing i didn't like about it is that they charge you for additional software and updates etc and for help with it. I am not sure which boot loader it uses but you shouldn't need a boot disk to start linux you should get a boot menu at startup which lycoris' installation will have setup for you, most linux distros ask you abo

thanks iccaros. i appreciate that . i have six ubuntu disks ariving next week.a friend put me on to them to give away to any one who wants to try linux. but i need to get to grips with this lycoris first.i like the desk top. features. and it is a compact and tidy OS. ive been to the website and i cant find any installing info. so to some one like your self it would be an advantage for any of us who wanted to try it to know how to install it again thanks marty

hi team seems im not doing some thing right . ive installed this icoris five times and i cant get it to boot up on my hdd i am abl eto delete the partition each time but i need it to boot up. ive made a boot floppy which the sys asks you to do.at the end of the install and configuration it says click finish boot to your hard drive but it dosent do that it goes back to the instalation from the cd. after i install from the cd do i need to go to the bios and change the sequence . to boot to my hdd. this lycoris is quite a tidy little packet. but like all linux products it is a little hard to fi

hi jcl yes i think your right he knew i was interested in a linux product and he gave it to me to try .he said it would fit on a p2 . strangly i googled it but i googled lycom that is why it wasnt picked up thanks for that ile try it out and ile send reports back to the board . may be some one else would be interested. a friend wanted me to try ubundu. which is a linux product . but i cant find any reference to it on the net . he said to try the local linux clubs in my area and make in quireys. how ever thanks for that marty

hi team i wonder if any one can help. this morning i had a 20geg hdd cleaned and i intended to install mandrake 10. which would have been on a p2 . hoe ever the guy who cleaned the drive said mandrake 10 would wouldnt be comfortable on a p2 . and he said take this disk and try it out it is much similiar to xp it is called LYCOMS has any one heard of it before it is new to me. sounds as tho it is a product of LYCOS if it is there will be plenty of spyware . i have a spare 4.5 geghdd here i might try it on that. any one heard of this LYCOMS MARTY

well i enjoyed that off the cuff humor. that was quite a clever skit . o loved it, tho im no redneck nor racist marty

thanks B AT FIRST i thought id botched the first install. that eases my mind thanks again marty

hi team today i went to play something from wmp10. and a notice came up saying that wmp wasnt installed fully . ive been using it for several months.and havent had a notice like this before . does any one think microsoft has modified some of the components. the instaltion took 43 mns. so it was a reasonable down load any ideas marty
