Bit of problem with RH7.2....

Crashedmyfiesta
Hi, I'm pretty new here so excuse me if this is in the wrong area. I'm running RH7. 2(Enigma I think) with the default Gnome setup. While fiddling with the fonts and things I suddenly noticed that the CD player won't work any more.

Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical USB

Hello All, I have a rather strange mouse problem that has occurred in both Suse and RedHat. I installed the RedHat 8. 0 beta on my machine at work that has a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical USB mouse and it detected it and installed fine.

NET USE Return Code?

Atreyu
I've written a VB app that occasionally maps drives. Anybody know of a way to capture the failure of executing the NET USE command so that I may present an error message to the end user? It's possible that mapping the drive will fail, as when the drive is mapped the user is prompted for their domain password.

Distro-specific forums?

clutch
Any thoughts on having distro-specific forums? I am getting Debian right now via jigdo, and with the rapid crash-course I had to take to get it working the idea kinda just came to me. .

Anyone familiar with Postfix?

Admiral LSD
I have Postfix (a *nix email server) configured, compiled and intalled to the point where its sending and receiving messages which I can check with a remote POP3 client but one thing is still bothering me: When Postfix bounces a message it returns a message like this: Code:This is the Postfix program at host blah.

Fear of formatting...

pmistry

Check this: His PC is a Pentium II 450 MHz with 256 MB of RAM and has like a 40 GB hard disk, the funny thing is that this machine initially was running Window ...

The 8 Largest Music Co's Sued for Price Fixing by government

Christianb
Hey Gang, Check out this article on 43 US states and Commonwealths suing the US recording industry. Basically there's a 67. 4 million dollar penalty and then they'll be required to donate 75. 7 million dollars worth of CDs to public entities and non-profit organizations.

Trillian the best or what?

pbuckne
I have a kid sister who chats. A lot. She used to use yahoo and msn and icq and all the rest, and this was killing her PII 400. Anyway, we tripped across and it is some of the best lying (emulating, whatever) software I have seen, since it emulates all of the above (as I recall) plus a couple.

The Coolest Bigwheel, Ever...

clutch
Check it out: My wife and I were at Toys'R'Us looking for a present for our friend's newborn child, and I saw this badboy on display. I stated that we *owed* it to our child to get him/her this. She replied that it would always be there and not to get it now.

hard drive compatability

sgrams
would anyone have knowledge of older hard drives not working with Linux? I have a Maxtor 8. 4 g drive dated 1998 and Mandrake 8. 2 will not load onto it, setup freezes. I cannot find anything on Maxtors site about issues with Linux.

Signatures?

Brian Frank
Philipp: I saw someone here with a graphic in their signature, so I'm wondering if that's allowable or not. If it's okay, some guidelines on the file size and dimensions would be helpful.
