  1. Where did you do that? Edit a file, or in mcc? I have the same problem.
  2. Thank you, I will when I get home. It looks like a know issue, and something I wasn't even looking at.
  3. Trying to set up to print off my home networked printer running on an XP box. This has always been a no brainer with MCC, but not 10.1 official. Searching the forums shows I'm not alone, but I've not stumbled accross the cure. Tips, hints, or links appreciated.
  4. Thanks, I was afraid of that. Oh well time to go shopping.
  5. My parts are finally wearing out on this 6yr old beauty of a desktop, and the CDROM doesn't always read files. (It's been cleaned with cdrom cleaner). So in the meantime I would like to make my CD-RW /dev/hdc the primary reading device so when I'm urpmi or Mandrake update and it asks to insert a cd, it defaults to the /dev/hdc. TIA
  6. Worked like a charm, thanks. :P
  7. Regardless of all the linux 'theology', any time a tool the caliber of 'YaST' goes GPL, everyone wins, IMHO.
  8. I found supermount more intuitive, or second nature like MS, I never had an issue, and really appreciated not having to mount things of a different gender.
  9. Ahhhh, control panel, now called "Configure Your Desktop", not to be confused with configuring your desktop from right clicking on the desktop and 'configure desktop'. Why would they take away the File Manager as super user??? I know it can be set up, just don't see the logic in that.
  10. Where is the File Manager- super user, and the KDE-Control Panel, these are missing from 9.2 menu items.
  11. Personally I am not impressed. This was an out the door fire sale release. First Mandrake since 7.1 that did not configure my canon bjc4100 during the install. After the first boot, KNotify caused a sig 11 segfault and messes with the aRts sound. WTF, only released 2 days and the update manager say's I need 270mb of updates. I'll be using something else for a while, I am so very dissapointed that beneath all the eye-candy they didn't build a solid foundation to work on, and I am not going to be a guinea pig for them. I bought 9 and 9.1 but I wouldn't part with any money for this release.
  12. Along those same lines, I used to be able to spend hours in the loacal Chapter's book stores looking for and purchasing Linux manuals and software. In the last 6-9 months, only M$ and Mac are on the shelves, nada linux, .... when I asked the store manager, he told me it was a chain wide descision to drop the linux line of products. I no longer buy anything from Chapter's or Indigo.
  13. Using a file manager as 'SU' browse to /usr/share/icons You will find all the iconsets you have installed. In each set there are a number of sizes. Each size then has a folder with 'APPS' In the "APPS" folder you will find the K icon listed as kmenu.png The xandros icon is called go.png. You can either rename the go.png to kmenu.png, or do like I do just deleate the kmenu.png icon completely. The go.png will then default to the start. Note you need to do this in each 16-22-32-48-64 size app folder. Thats the hard GUI way, someone may know a CLI faster way to replace them. HTH, have fun.
  14. Some of em, your gonna lose anyway, the rest of us just have fun with anything linux.
  15. ADSL is the spawn. I lived in ppp0e H3LL for years. Then one day in a 'best buy' store, I bought me a smc router for under $100. Now it's like having cable, you just install software and 99% of the time it's detected. In fact with about 15-20 linux distro's I've try'd, it's never failed to auto detect. Just make sure you have a popular nix card .... like a d-link 530 or along those lines, if the kernel see's the nic, your online.
  16. I installed it, booted to the kde desktop, 3.2 has a lot of nifty build in eye-candy tweaks, but no kmail or knode yet on the server, and after a day or two I lost the ability to 'su' from konqueror, or kate or any of the kde apps.
  17. I just reburned the fixed iso's and doing an install on an old 400mhz test box. It loads YaST into a ramdisk to handle the install, and that's pretty much the same as the ftp install, painfully slow, but dead on accurate.
  18. That's, kind of what I'm trying to find out, maybe on of the 'club' members will be able to shed some light on this for us.
  19. I just did a clean install of 9.2 and the latest Release 6 updates seem to have this problem licked.
  20. That's the ticket. Thanks all great help.
  21. Being too impatient to wait for the kde3.2 control panel way of doing the cursor theme change, on a standard 9.2 install, who has had success with say white, or white shadow, or crystal cursors, ... and how.? Thanks in advance.
  22. My bad, I looked in their too, ... gotta check these tri-focals.
  23. No, I followed the instructions for the install off www.distrowatch.com . But ping a few of their ftp sites and look for one with some speed, that's the key, you won't probably get one like this site, for speed that is. 55kb/s was the best I could find at sunet. If you begin after supper, you can get to the YaST part of the install in probably less then an hour, select your apps, then go to bed. In the morning just do a quick walk through on the hardware, (which is a nobrainer with SuSE), and you'll be good to go. Yes you could, YaST will look after that for you.
  24. What are on the 5cd's , are all 5 needed to say install just a kde desktop?
