>>>???????????? does'nt any one know the answer? Albert

The site I went is sponsored by o'reilly, which should be quite neutral with the issues..... Any way, what I need is more a neutral explanation......according to my question, again, is there a tendancy of macintosh on Open Source aspects? and I think the issue I found might be correct, since no one here rejects it............. Albert

just any one can explain? Albert

Well, admiral,... the below link might explain my question better: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/wlg/4364 and and above are the motives of my question...... So, admiral or any one has furthur explanation instead of that mac is proprietary? Albert

Is there any linsencing for Open Source freeware? more over, what is the advantages of obtaining a lincense? Albert

Most open source softwares are designed under Linux/Unix system... and some of them are being compiledin on Windows so it makes it compatible with..... but it is only the majority of Linux/Unix users using the Open Source softwares in tendancy, that even the OS itself is open.... What I want to ask is: Is there a tendancy that Mancintosh uses Open Source softwares, and any thing on Open Source development? Albert

Maybe some of you know that I had the problems of installing mandrake on my laptop....... In the beginning, I installed with the ISOs with the right checksum, and it has an error of media on the sectors, but it works fine on my desktop.... then, I tried downloading the offical version instead of community, but same problem.... hence, I tried the powerpack which I borrowed from my friend, because since it is a version that you need buy, I think it would have more driver support or more compatible..... .....but it fails, since it has a problem of wrong checksum........ (thx to dave for suggest of checksum, and mossoi for the programs ) during the transoformation of CD image file..... Finally, I tried downloading powerpack with the right checksum on the Internet, and it works finally......... At the end, I have a few wonders, Does Mandrake have more driver support or compability on any hardware for commercial version than the free ones (like community , offical)? since it seems like in my experience...... Albert

I have tried fsum, which is somehow a calculator for checksum..... it calculates a few ways, like md5, md6, and many more....... what are they? In java, is there any function that calulates the checksum? Albert

I have searched on the Internet and see that BBC has media News, but those are too short, like only seconds!!! Does any one know where to see various kinds of Media News freely? like the whole match of Euro Cup 2004 Greece vs Portugal for example..... Albert

What is the purpose of checksum? Albert

I have found the problems.................................. I have checked the asc file of mandrake............................ and it shows that the original iso has a differnet md5 according to the asc file... Would the difference in md5 occur the error as I said previously? Albert

I got the CD1 of Mandrake powerpack from my friend.... and it still has problem when installing...... This time is different error: Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: No Emulation ISOLINUX 1.76 Mandrake Linux isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry..... Boot failed: press a key to retry... As shown above, there are 2 errors shown in italics...... Is it still same problem of md5sum? or any other solutions? Please help..... Apreciate in advance... Albert

yes, thouroughly, and there is even no infromation about md5sum.......... Moreo over, I got an Image Checksum Error when I boot the CD.... So, if you guys are not sure, then I still want to know, is it a problem that there is no cdrom-changedisk.img in the directory? Albert

In advance of my previous message,........ I have managed to download cdrom-changedisk.img from the Internet, and its md5 is the same....... Then what is the solution? do I copy it to the iso, or delete the line in the md5sum? Ps. I really need the help very urgently, because I have tried installing and failed for weeks .... Albert

here is a famous company's site who sells wireless network that I love most.... with manuals and drivers too http://www.sitecom.com/index.php 5614, for your last post, just use a router that connects to the internet (you are right, connect the internet plug to the router), and while other computers connect to the router, therefore, there will be no master computer. hope it helps Albert

Any body can help on that? Albert
