The distro I substitued for MDK is ARK LINUX. I used the 8-disc set. It installed with no problems and works better in its KDE mode than MDK did. It just seems simpler and faster all around. ...

Everyone! Problem solved.

I guess the fault was in both MDK install discs. On a hunch, I just popped into the CD-ROM my Damn Small Linux demo
distro that runs in memory. It works fine. In...

Folks:

I'm really sorry to prolong this and to try your patience. But I tried your suggestions:
1. "cat/etc/fstab" gives: "No such file or directory."
2. Trying the second MDK installation...

Choozo. This is weird: When I "ls /etc/fstab" I get nothing. When I "ls /fstab" I get "No such file or directory." When I "cat /fstab" I get: "No such file or directory." When I "LS /etc" I can see...

The cd is not a music cd; it's a MDK 9.0 install disc. When I try "mount /dev/cdrom/mnt/cdrom" I get: "Can't find in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab." I'm now wondering if, as some suggeste, it's a driver...

Thanks all. When I first got this problem I suspected the cdrom itself, so I installed a new one.(The previous one, Samsung, worked ok, until this prob lem came up.) But I got the same result. I...

I'm a really OLD (79-years) Newbie, so take pity. I'm stuck trying to reinstall MDK 9.0. At boot the install cdrom disk doesn't open. When I "ls /mnt/cdrom" I get a message : "Input/ouput error." ...

I used RoaringPenguin's rp-pppoe program to set up DSL, having failed numerous times with MDK Control Center (under MDK 9.0) Presently, to go online I have to get a Konsole and then as root enter...

Once again, Guys!
I fixed the problem. Over on Windows I found that Verizon uses "outgoing.Verizon.net" for its SMTP host. Most use "mail, "pop" or something similar.. Anyway, this solved my...

Thanks guys.

I've tried all the sugestions you made. But I still keep getting the message:
"Sending failed - unknown host."
Some history: Verizon doesn't support Linux, so I got their dsl...

I recently set up Verizon DSL. Previously, I was using a dialup mail service via external modem. How do I make Kmail recognize Verizon? I've gone over Kmail's settings many times, trying different...

I'm a newbie and recently installed MDK 9.0 It owrks fine. But I'm only using lInux for email, Internet browsing, and word stuff. Hence, I assume I've got lots of packages I don't need. Has...

I did use the directory with my username, both as root and as user. In neither case could I save the file. I guess I just need to be instructed in how to set the write permission, yes?

Thanks...

Andy:
I did try saving it to my /home/documents file. But no luck. But the message seems to be saying I don't have write permission. In my setup I only have me as root and me, also, as user. ...

I'm a newbie and just started using Kword (in KDE). When I tried to save the file I got a message indicating the file could not be written. Is this a permission restriction? Or should I look for...

Whereis Kmail answered: Kmail:/opt/kde3/bin/kmail.
My question is: how do I get ispell there, and in what form?

Sorry: I meant RWiggin.

PWiggin:
You solved my problem! Many thanks.

I'm (still) a newbie. My /tmp directory is filled with padlocked file icons (in Konqueror). When I try to delete them I get the message: you do not have access rights to this location. I know I...

I solved the problem by shutting off CUPS and switching to Generic UNIX LPD print system. I didn't have any logic behind this move: just dumb button-pushing! Thanks for your help.

I'm a newbie. I successfully installed an HP 695C Deskjet (Mandrake 9.0), meaning the test page printed ok. However, when I tried printing from KWrite there was a delay of almost 2 minutes between...

How do I find the way to be "... in your PATH?" I assume that means the path to Kmail. But where do I get that? I've tried several times to install aspell and all fail. Maybe I'm not getting it...

I found 5 aspell icons on the MDK installation cd #1 rpms. But when I tried to install any/all of them, I repeatedly got a message that some files were needed in a library or somesuch. I thought...

I installed Mandrake 9.0. I searched the cds to try to find aspell. But didn't manage it. I'll re-trace that route.
Thanks.

I'm using Konqueror Kmail client. I've downloaded Aspell into my home/name directory. I can see the file (aspell_ .33.7.1- i386-1.tgz). But I can't figure out how to move/open it in the Kmail...
