Hi, I have been trying to install my wireless pcmcia card onto fedora core 6. to do this i have been trying to use ndiswrapper http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net but with no luck. i am using ndiswrapper-1.34 and i keep running into some problems. I can successfully complete the make distclean, make and make install (root) commands and they work without a problem. It is only when i try to enter the command ndiswrapper -i filename.inf (replacing filename.inf with the .inf file of my pc card) i get the following error QUOTE [root@james-laptop ndiswrapper-1.34rc2]# ndiswrapper -i WG511v2.INF
bash: ndiswrapper: command not found i have copied the files to my home directroy (/home/james/ndiswrapper-1.34) and have copied the .inf and .sys files there too. But still i keep getting this error! does anyone know whats happening to cause this error? Thanks

You must specify that what you want is in the current location you are at: CODE [root@james-laptop ndiswrapper-1.34rc2]# ./ndiswrapper -i WG511v2.INF That's it. If you want ndiswrapper to be accessible whenever you type it, then create a link to it inside the /usr/bin location, or where you see fit. Cheers, MC

QUOTE ./ndiswrapper -i Wg511v2.INF I would do the following, just in order to verify that there is no mistyping. 1) ls ./ndiswrapper this should give no error, just showing the ndiswrapper file name. 2) ls ./Wg511v2.INF This should also give no error, just listing the .INF filename. Then, ./ndiswrapper -i ./Wg511v2.INF I would say that the second error type was due to the missing ./ in front of Wg511v2. Tell us if this works now.

Boot Error On Customized Kernel [solved]
(2) Hey guys, I'm getting into some trouble on my newly compiled kernel. I had no issues compiling
a kernel before but I'm getting booting issues. I guess it could be some type of SATA support
issue since this is the first time I had a SATA drive. However, I'm very sure that I compiled
SATA support right into the kernel instead of it being a module. This is my filesystem config:
QUOTE # # File systems # CONFIG_EXT2_FS=m CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY=y # CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP is not set CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m CONFIG_EXT3_F....

Errors When Installing/booting
From Live CD and actual installation (13) On my new computer, I decided to install Linux as I need it for development purposes. Wanting to
take a shortcut, I tried using Wubi, the Windows-based Ubuntu Installer. Everything went fine as it
installed. I restarted the system to find revalidation errors when booting. It kept on repeating
the same thing over and over so I thought that the Wubi installation was corrupted or otherwise
damaged. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and burnt it onto a CD-R and tried that instead. I couldn't
even boot into the Live CD session because the same error came up. It looked like this: ....

Strange Error When Trying To Install Fedora Core 9

minute, the following error did show: "The file evince-2.22.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm cannot be opened.
This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media" Fine, I told to myself,
let's download the ISO image again, this time from a different server, just in case. No joy,
same error. Tried another couple of times, each one using a different server for the download. Sa....
Setting Up Fedora Core For Web Hosting
Not as easy as you might think! (0) On several occasions, I have attempted to install Linux on my computer in a dual boot format to
learn how to use Linux and more importantly, learn how to set up a web server. In the past, I have
installed a couple of versions of Red Hat, Unbuntu, Gentoox, GoblinX, and now a couple of versions
of Fedora Core. The only thing all of these have in common is that installation is problematic at
best. While most distributions of Linux include all the required software to set up a server, I
have never been able to realy get it done. Finding where Apache's configuration....
With Wubi The Hard Drive Does Not Have To Be Repartitioned Before The Ubuntu Installation
(2) Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i....

True Type Fonts In Linux
Installation/configuration required? (4) As I mentioned in the other thread , I installed Ubuntu last night, and I am quite happy with the
result. And again, as I said there, the font rendering is something that give room for wanting
something better. The question is, can we use TrueType fonts with Linux, and specifically Ubuntu?
Is it as simple as copying the font files (.ttf) into a particular directory? Or do we need to
install or configure something? If it is simple as copying the required fonts to a particular
folder/directory, which directory should they be copied to? Edit: The fonts in Linux se....
