I'll try that. I found out in the Linux box I can see the shared folders in the Windows box. But when I open Network Neighborhood in Windows I don't see any shared folders from my Linux box. Any thoughts?

Hi, I got Samba to work. Now how do I share an Internet connection with my Windows box? I have a crossover connected to the computers. Xp on the computer has has the Internet.

Hi, my name is Joe. I bought a used IBM Travelstar for my Laptop. It had Windows NT on it. I used FDISK and was able to delete the Non-disk partition, but I cannot delete the other partitions. Tells me I need to delete the Logical partition first but there isn't one. Is there dome way or some program that I can delete all partitions? Thanks

Thanks JoetjeF. I was looking for something like the BlackViper site. Thanks alot. :) Joe

:lol:Hi, are ther any websites that have good info on Windows 2000 tweaks and tips? For example what Windows 2000 services I need and don't need. If there are services I don't need and don't want them running in the background. Thanks Joe L.

Installed Linux 8 and the dual boot. I have it to boot to Linux first using GRUB as the bootloader. Now, how do I boot to Windows from Linux...Thanks

sorry can't spell, it is late.....

Yes, I know about the others part., I just meant I was going to part. the hard drive in half: one for Windows Os and the other Linux.....Yjay's what I meant. Sorry :cry:

I have Partition Magic. So, I'll partion the hard drive in half. Thanks.

Hi, What are the steps to create a dual boot? I am running Win98SE and I want to also install RH 8. Or can you direct me to a good site. :p

Thanks, Is there any recommended books for troubleshooting Linux? :lol::lol:

Hi, I have a Windows box connected to a Linux box and they both share the Internet. H can I get my Linux box to see my Windows files and how do I configure my printer on the Linux box? Thanks

I'm trying to setup samba. I did everything according to the book. When I type in, in the web browser: localhost:901 the error is "connection is refused"????:cry:

Thanks for your input...Joe L.

I recently noticed in my packages I did not install KDE or Gnome. Does it matter? Which is best. Is there any optimization for Linux like in Windows? Thanks:lol:

I know this is a dumb question: Does the hard drive in Linux get fragmented like in Windows? If so does Linux have a defrag program or wilL I havve to donwload one.

I've seen Fedora screenshots and it looks real impressive. This type o Linux is good for people like me who want to learn Linux more on a user-friendly basis until I am more comfortable to explre the different commands and the power and stablility of Linux. It's a change from Windows and a challenge.

This is a great site and people are helpful..A++++++++:cool:

Hi,
What is the best site to get a basic knowledge of troubleshooting common Linux problems. And the best site for learning fundamentals of Linux? I'm not into programming but wanting to learn a new OS. Thanks Joe

I always don the "su: to log on as root. How can I do the other way? :)

I found the file in /sbin, but when I click it it has file not found. :cry:

Hey CSCGAL,
It gives ne the following: sndconfig-0.69-1
Yes I installed it as a package. :cry:

Hi,
I installed RH 8.0. It didn't detect my sound card which is a SB16. After installation I ran sndconfig, had no such fil or command. So I installed it since it wan't installed and it gave me the same error when I installed it. I ran the command at root. What gives? Thanks. :cry:

Aumix doesn't get reset to 0, I have checked it. If it has one, how do I initialize the sound server? Thanks

IBM Thinkpad 560X, PII233mhz,64MMB Ram. 4.0GB hard drive. Mandrake detected everything but sound.

When I installed Mandrake it din't detect my soundcard. I used sndconfig and yes I heard the sound samp;e. I went into KDE System Notification because you can test the sound. I tried to test it but no sound was heard. I checked aumix and nothing seems to be muted, Mandrake supports the integrated sound, it's a Crystal audio cs423x. Thanks

I installed Mandrake 9.2 on a Laptop. It didn't detect the sound but I used sndconfig and configured it. I guess the problem is I don't get sound as user. What can I do?
