| | Re: bridge.dll issue try doing a forum search for bridge.dll both on this forum and on Google. It's been discussed a lot around here.

| | That could be a virus. Checking [url=http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php?filter=svchost&count=&type=]here[/url], it appears many viruses use the name svchost.exe to hide the fact that a virus has been installed. I'd recommend you update your virus definitions and scan your system. <edit> just checked something. The Netsky virus actually uses svchost.exe as a name. Again... …  |

| | While I don't have any direct experience with mimedefang, here is a suggestion: Use the [b]script[/b] command. Just type [b]script [i]filename[/i][/b] before running a build.

| | Re: Giga-byte boards All I know is, don't use cheap memory. This is true regardless of what board you buy. I've just purchased a KT600 board from Gigabyte, and the thing won't boot with the el-cheapo DDR memory I bought. I bought the board to replace another board I had, but I think … |

 | Re: Creating a zip that is [i]so Windows...[/i] Just kidding. That works great, but you can squeeze even more compression out of it if you use [b]tar[/b] with [b]bzip2[/b] compression: [code] tar -cvjf files.tar.bz2 my_files/ [/code] Zip might get about 2x compression, but I've seen bzip2 get anywhere from 2x to 5x compression.

| | You might have just done a bad install. It happens sometimes, and it could be due to a bad burn on your CD. What I recommend is to redownload the Mandrake images, reburn them, and then reinstall. If you've just installed your new system, the only thing you'll have lost … |
| | I'm on Comcast, and their Terms of Service (ToS) actually states that if you run a webserver (or [b]any[/b] server for that matter), they reserve the right to cut off your service. I think that's pretty standard amongst cable ISPs, too. Unless you want to start using DSL, I'd advise … |
