kamicota Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hi All Which Specific distros come with 2.6 kernel already emebedded???CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 The Mandrake 10 beta . . . it runs well ( not too many bugs for a beta ) so you could try:( Has kernel 2.6 and XFree 4.4 and KDE 3.2 . . . . all the new goodies )ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Man...ndrake-iso/i5863 ISO files and one md5sum file ;)But do never replace your primary distro by a beta !

kamicota Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Wise AdviceAre there NO Primary Distros that already come with the 2.6 kernel???As I have Suse 8.2 on it's own drive 10G for now, I am going to try Xandos desktop 2.0 and Vector linux on another (Hopefully, havent tried it yet) a Yast 10G partioned drive. May before Xandros arrives may an opportunity to try Mandrake???Although mandrake does not support the Epson c64 Printer this may not be a wise choice??? colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 If you have not tried Mandrake yet . . this might be your chance . . . and there might be an Epson driver that will suit the C64 . . maybe not 100% but still it might be good enough to print . . . And it gives you the chance to see the new KDE and use the 2.6 kernel in a Mandrake version that was specially made to run the 2.6 :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranquilo Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 According to linuxprinting.org your printer is (mostly) supported.http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer....pson-Stylus_C64tranquilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Yeah BrunoAM Downloading it NOW HAVE tried mandrake before in fact it was the First I tried and migrated to Suse for the printer support.I have links to the drivers for the c64 from the forum so it may just work.And now I am excited that I could have this on before my friends Vector Soho is here and xandros 2.0Who knows may even just stay with it but we will have to see.Any advice on size of hard drive space would be needed with NO Apache???

Bruno Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Any advice on size of hard drive space would be needed with NO Apache??? Anything between 5 and 10 G . . . but even 3 will do however that is a bit tight. BrunoHope you're using Linux to download and burn this time ?

kamicota Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Great Tranquilo have the link in my linux/c64fileWell Bruno looks like the F c10G can still be used as a 5/6G for Mandrake and 4/5G for trials of Vector and Xandos or vice versa If I decide to uninstall Sue 8.2 off my other 10G drive and continue Having fun with several distros HOW do I go about the uninstall???Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDragon Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 kamicota: i also find it strange that there are no major distros with 2.6 as default yet. You'd think that once it's released they would put out a new verion of their distro... but i guess that wouldn't leave much time to test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 NOW the FEAR sets in--->>>JUST by a chance in an INSTALL of Knoppix from the LIVE CD to my hard drive and bailing out with the ext2/ext3 etc Suse NOW Found and used my Router. While I had tried for around a week and could not get it to recognise it.It looks as if I ma probanbly going to go through that heartache or is that Challenge/Opportunity ONCE moreCan't wait ?????????Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yeah Sonic DragonI was HOPING but guess NOT.In the link for Mandrake 10 Beta I got the 3 cd ISO's & Check sum & another iso CLC-2.0-i586.iso & checksumWHAT is this iso anyone know, is it a live cd Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 oops another super bowl half time questionIn Kget where I downloaded all these iso.s Some show me 99% download and Stalled but when I check the folder the REQUIRED amount of MB's are in the download Am I paranoid :'( hereColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicDragon Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 JUST by a chance in an INSTALL of Knoppix from the LIVE CD to my hard drive and bailing out with the ext2/ext3 etc Suse NOW Found and used my Router. While I had tried  for around a week and could not get it to recognise it.Well isn't that nice WHAT is this iso anyone know, is it a live cdNo, i don't think it's a live cd. I'm pretty sure you have to install it to the hard drive. In Kget where I downloaded all these iso.s Some show me 99% download and Stalled but when I check the folder the REQUIRED amount of MB's are in the downloadThat's happened to me to... in other programs than Kget also. Maybe it has something to do with the files being so big? I don't know... Anyway, i guess the only way to know for sure if the download is good is to run the check sum on it.

linuxdude32 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Try this instead:md5sum -c MD5SUM.MandrakeLinux-10.0-beta1-CD2.i586.isoAssuming that's the "correct" name of the file with the MD5sums in it. It should say [OK] if the md5sum in the file matches the one calculated from the ISO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi JasonTried that with the 99% CD2 and also the 100% CD1 and reply was no such file Gues I'm batting zero tonight eh Colin :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxdude32 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 ried that with the 99% CD2 and also the 100% CD1 and reply was no such file Yikes. You can also just run MD5SUM for each and compare the numbers directly. The format of the md5sum check file looks wrong to me. I've never seen it with the GPG Signature in it before. Personally, I'd stay away from the Mandrake 10 beta from what I've heard so far. It's very early and will probably change a lot before release. I thought that Mandrake 9.2 has a 2.6 kernel available, just not installed by default. That'd probably be a better way to go about it.I think the reason that many distros haven't put 2.6 in yet is because it has a lot of new stuff in it. I think distro makers are also being more cautious, which in my opinion, is a very good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Thoughts Jason Maybe I DON'T have MD5SUM installed I understand it has to be downloaded for Windows to do the same checks.And Yes as much as I have dcownloaded Mandrake 10 I HAVE seen the Forums experience with it and they are NOT Explorers like me IT may be safe to leave it well alone for now.BUT I'm getting Antsy to TRY another DistroBut that's the Scorpio Intensity & Impatience taking control colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi ColinEvery Linux distro has md5sum installed . . . so as long as you did the download in Linux, doing the checksum should work, just try again without the $ . . . Also the Mandrake 10 beta is pretty stable, so no worries there . . . . sure most of the time Drakes betas are buggy as a Christmas tree . . . . . but this beta is an exception and you are safe to try it.Colin, you wanted adventure . . . well here it is . . don't back down now ( after all we are here to help you ) and just download CD2 again if it did not finish completely :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi BrunoI tried it without the $ and File Not Found was the answer, both on the OK CD1 and the 99% stalled CD2 but we will try again after a trip to the states i will try the download in windows this time & see what happensColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamicota Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 Cause I'm more comfortable with Nero BurningBUT the windows downloader was giving me palpitations NOW they are downloading in Suse Hopefully they will all download while I am down in Eureka MT, leaving in the next mins or so I jus deleted all the Mandrakes and started again, HOPE my isp is understanding Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicDragon Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 $ md5sum MandrakeLinux-10.0-beta1-CD2.i586.isoYou changed your directory to where the files are before running that command right?cd /where/files/are/downloadedmd5sum MandrakeLinux-10.0-beta1-CD2.i586.iso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I may be way off base here, but...coal-mining maintenance taught me to look for the easiest approach first and foremost:When I download "iso's" and "md5sum's", I put them both in the same directory - < /home/quint/iso >, then when I check the "iso" file, I open the konsole from the "Tools" button in Konqueror in the folder containing the "iso" file and "md5sum" file; that way just type in: < md5sum name_of_iso >.
