I just need some simple advice

boostud
I just downloaded Mandake 9. 2 I am TOTALLY NEW to Linux. I have heard great things, so thought i'd give it a try. file:/usr/share/doc/HTML/index. html I am lost in so many ways. I can't figure out how to run half the programs I install, and no idea how to run the command prompt.

Mandrake 9.2 installation - booting but can't access cdrom

nu2linux
I get the message: I can't access a Mandrake Linux Installation disc in your CDROM drive (TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1902B) The last time I used the disked about a month ago it installed just fine. What factors would keep it from installing this time? *Right now I have no OS installed.

kde 3.2 rpms for mandrake

patroclo7
All the kde 3. 2 rpms for mandrake 9. 2 are at disposal at this FTP address: It's very difficult to compile kde 3. 2. Konstruct returns me ununderstandable recursive compilation errors for kdelibs, and manual compilation fails too, though the configure scripts do not declare amy trouble.

super_s
Hi, I am still learning Linux (Mac and Windows are my previous experience). I tried installing the Macromedia Flash player and it is not working. I am guessing it is because of this: Quote:Device fonts require outline fonts to be installed.

Two Qustions: .ICEauthority and daemons

ViolentGreen
I have two questions. The first is more of an annoyance. Something is changing the ownership and permissions of my. ICEauthority file to root. This prevents me from logging into an X session. The second question is where do I specify what daemons run at startup? Thanks.
