few questions
 

1. how do i mount and use my NTFS data hard drives in mandrake 10.0
2. how do i use dual screen in linux


this is my first day @ linux, so im a little noob at this hehe

Welcome to LQ.

1) Take a look at this guide:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/ntfs.html#4.0

2) There is a wealth of information and links about this on the LQ Wiki:

tnx

hope i did not fuck my other hdd's

my windows dont want to boot anymore :s it keeps loading (bootscreen) same for safe mode

btw, im not logged in ass root, so i get persmission denied the whole time, how do i give my account full acces?

read up on "sudo" and "sudo files"

tried that


[meta@telenetPC meta]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/data
Password:
[meta@telenetPC meta]$ ls /mnt
camera/ cdrom/ hd/ hd2/ hd3/ windows/

generally, it is a bad idea to give yourself full power for your user account. You'd be amazed at what you can break, so most people just use "su" to quickly change to root, do some task, and jump down.

hmmm, no clue.

sorry

damn this is fucked up,

in the standaard browers all the text is fuckt, its to big or to small blabla


need serieus help :p

Try using, the command `su` for, "Substitude user identity." You'll practically be root this way. You also can try issuing the command you did inside of the directory such as...

Oh yeah, if you have any problems mounting... try checking your kernel .config file for NTFS support. I'm not sure if this is a default or not... if it's not you'll just have to recompile your kernel for NTFS support.

As for the browser problem... if you're running Mozilla there are a bunch of Mozilla fonts out there, they normally fix that problem if you install them with Mozilla. (Mozilla, and Firefox that is.)

[meta@telenetPC meta]$ cd /mnt; sudo mkdir data
Password:
Broken pipe
[meta@telenetPC mnt]$


:scratch:


edit: im using opera, the fonts of the navigation shit (file, edit view ...) is very small, i can hardly read it

Ouch, I never saw that error before. Try using, "su."

Example:
I'm going to assume the broken pipe was our little guy -> ';'.

Oh and about your browser... sorry I never used it. You might want to take a couple of other browsers for a spin, they might be worthy of your tastes =)

its not just opera, it's also the reqular browers in mandrak 10

this is my shitty prob in opera

btw, it workd now for the data thing :p
but how do i know, wich hard disk is wich, and how do i mount them :cry:

Well... I never have used Mandrake. I was always afraid it'd start controlling me like Windows did =(
I don't know what the problem to that is, sorry... although congrats on the success.
