Hello all,

I installed a Mandrake 8.2 machine last week (first time ever experience
with Linux).  It seems to work fine.  I have a MS Windows Xitami server
running already for about a year now.

I DLed the Unix version of Xitami.  Compiled it as it said in the Unix.html
(after figuring out how to load GCC).  I have a file called Xitami in the
/usr/xitami-24d9 folder.  It comes up as an executable icon in KDE.  I can't
seem to run it.  I clicked on it in KDE logged in as a user and as root, and
nothing seems to happen.  To be sure, I http://localhost in konquerer.  But
to no avail.

When I ping localhost, I get the following (I assume this means its
responding):

64 bytes from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=152
usec

So how do I "run" Xitami under Mandrake is my main question I guess.  Also,
how do you determine what IP address has been given to a Linux machine under
DHCP?

I realize these are actually Linux questions, but I figured some of you
Linux thumpers might wanna help out a guy who is considering becoming a
convert..

Thanks,

Jay Aldrich
