Hey guys,
Can you help me?
I have downloaded OpenOffice.org2 and I would like to install shortcuts to the KDE menu. I have manually done this but I have not got any ICONS for it. I have Mandrake 10.0 and would like a proper OO.o2 Menu.
Can you also tell me how to tell Linux to use OO.o1 extensions in OO.o2 when I click on them It opens up OO.o1 (or not not open at all now I uninstalled OO.o1)
I use OO.o2 in windows and like the pretty icons. PLEASE HELP! Nothing is installed on the menu and I'm going CRAZY!

Hi Guys,
I would like to know how to make my FAT 32 partition writable (and readable) by all users. I have made the partition but only root can write and when I change the permissions it just resets. The partiton in diskdrake has been set to allow all users the write to it.
Any Help???

I've done tried to do that but APMD and ACPI are NOT in the services bit. I didn't play with the LILO-Conf stuff, I wont do that untill I've done that other bit.

and do you know where I can download LILO BOOT THEMES???

1) the kernel is APM/ACPI, I don't really understand the diff. but when I install a diffrent kernel to the one that installs at first (Im using Mandrake Linux 10.0). When I first boot into linux there is no APM/ACPI until I install this kernel, when I do my sound is totally cut off, something to do with a mixer but I can pick a new mixer, the dropdown menu is blank. My laptop is fairly new, 6 month old. My sound is currently working on intel810_audio driver but I don't have the APM/ACPI kernel installed.
2) I just cant get tuxracer to work, how do I enable 3D video accel??
As I have said before, I am new so please don't bog me down with weird and new words.
4) Do you know where I can make my own LILO boot themes???
oh, and where can I get good games for Linux???
If this post is confusing, sorry, I cant get what I mean to say out properly.

Hi, Im new so please no telling me to alter code unless you guide me through.
Problem 1: My Compaq Presario R3000 has APM in windows, allowing me to see the status of my battery. When I install the APM kerel it disables my sound. I have Sound Max Integrated audio (Thats all I know what the sounds called). Please can you help me to get my APM working and my sound.
Problem 2: When ever I try to play tuxracer and games that use the 3D openGL rendering it doesn't work, its the same with openGL screensavers, I have a Nvidia Geforce 4. Any ideas??
Problem 3: How can I save my work on a windows drive so I can work on the stuff in windows, I have win XP and a NTFS win partition.
Problem 4: Not really a prob but could you tell me where I can get LILO Boot screens??
Thanks
