Hi all. Firstly, I apologize if this question has been asked before, which I'm sure it has. I'm only new to Linux although I have been 'dabbling' for awhile now with Ubuntu, Fedora Core 4, SimplyMEPIS, Xandros to name a few. I found Centos 4.1 on the cover disk of the September issue of APC Magazine and thought I'd give it a go. I want to learn linux and thought this one

Can I upgrade my Centos 4.1 system with the 4.2 ISO install disc? If so, how do I do it? It seams to want to do a full (i.e. format, wipe out old) install over everything.

Hi all, I've got some insanity with mounting an NFS share that before reloading my workstation afresh worked perfectly, but now refuses to mount. Actually there are two servers with shares mounted. (1) Mandrake 10.0 file server - two shares - mount perfectly (2) Fedora Core 3 - one share - can't mount to save my life! My workstation is CentOS 4. I reloaded it to get rid of the FC3

Hi! i compiled rpms like postfix with mysql support.

Hi everyone, I am in the last stages of converting my business to Linux. All software is now open-source or running under wine. Except one. The software supplied by my bank. This runs fine under wine apart from the dialup to the bank. No matter what settings I use for the modem, I always get the message that the modem cannot be initialised.

Hi All, I've got a really dumb question. I seem to have lost my Trash Can on my KDE desktop and try and as I might I can't get it back. Anyone have any idea how I can create this again or get it back?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has tried and succeeded to use this controller. Its the bc4852 SATA controller. There's supposed to be support for it, but so far we've not been able to get the driver to load during the install and thus we've got no "valid drive" on which to load the OS. thanks, -- Mark

Thanks for the reply! I tried the instructions on Frank's IE5.5 page, including copying all the files and directories to my ~/.wine/fake_windows/ directory (except jsnl.dll, which I could not find...) I do not know if dcom95 exists somewhere in one of the directories that I copied across, but I know that exactly the same thing happens when I try to run IE on the Windows partition (instead of

Hello, Could someone with the requisite shorewall expertise please help me? Here is a description of my problem. I dial in to my ISP using kppp. It seems to establish a connection just fine.
