Mine does not. There is not one in my LFS I use dhcpcd for both They both work fine

Oh god! I had this problem. It's dep_hell at it's worst!!!! It took ages to fix and in the end I didn't like FVWM Ok, 1 if you EVER find a program that needs a dependency that's not on the mdk sources. YOur first stop is www.rpmseek.com There search for "what provides" in this case "libreadline.so.3" I found an rpm when I did it but i can't remember what it was. http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/compat-readline.html?hl=com&cs=libreadline.so.3:PR:0:0:0:0 It''s one of them. There is a Mandrake RPM with no problems here too ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/M...4-1mdk.i586.rpm It's on contrib. Good luck!! James

Use the nightly builds. They are pretty stable. My only problem has been installing Flash. I got Java going though. You can get them at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightl...y/latest-trunk/ I generally update each week.

I'm pretty sure there are DRI drivers for radeon98000 Check out dri.sourceforge.net I don't know if they are any good though. James

Oops it doesn't! I had been using firebird. I have firebird in /home/james/programs/MozillaFirebird/ and i symlink it to /usr/bin/mozilla Anyway i was running Firebird and I installed the Mozilla 1.4 RPM. I can't be bothered explaining what happened. But until i closed Firebird i was able to open unlimited windows. Once i closed it this was not the case. And from then on Sorry! James

Sorry to bring up an old post but the latest Firebird build (nightly build) Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030715 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Doesn't have this problem. James

I don't know a way to use the ogg files directly but you could always convert them to wav or mp3. James

Well I just got this month's PC Authority magazine and found some interesting stuff in it regarding Linux. The article which had some interesting comments in it was titled "Give Bill the boot" kept short in hope SCO doesn't see and sue me over IP A few quotes: "Another term often thrown around as a Success indication is 'market share' .......... ...............The thing that Makes Microsoft stand apart is you rarely hear their product managers throwing these terms around at all, and if they do, they mean very different things................................When we've spoken to Microsoft product managers there is nary a mention of the other office suites out there....................................and when they talk about market share thye put up a pie chart showing what proportion of users are using which version of Microsoft Office...................................But you know what really interesting thing that's been happening in the last few months?......................the product and marketing managers have actually been heard to utter the name of a competitor from time to time - often with a slightly questioning tone, a sideways glance and a raised eyebrow. And that competitor is Linux. .............................if they decide to tackle Linux head on, I fear for the well being of penguins Thoughts? James

I know there is a Win32 codec that mplayer uses. It's RPM is something like "win32-codecs-xxxxx.i586.rpm" What do you think about the frontend to Mplayer idea? I'm downloading Kylix now.................. I shoulda got this earlier! it's good. Crossplatform? I don't care. I've removed Windows from my system for good today 8) It's gone!! 8) YAY James

Maybe instead of writing a whole app we could write a really good mplayer frontend. THen we can focus more on GUI. I'd like to use Mplayer as my default Multimedia player, DVD, MP3 and Video. But it doesn't have a decent playlist ability, so I use XMMS for Mp3, And the DVD ability is a little dissapointing so I use Xine for DVD. Arrrgh to many players!! And i have to use mplayer for WMAs too. That's annoying! James

I'll help, so long as it supports WMA. Edit: What language? GUI, GTK, QT or something else? James

Actually i ignore those signature errors. I haven't had a problem yet! And i install a lot of software from a lot of different places. Probably a bad idea. But, that's the way i am. I'm too lazy to ad the gpg key. See this to help avoid dep_hell and help on rpms: http://mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?p=46559#46559 James

It's probably an applet and i'm guessing you are using KDE. The same will probably still apply on GNOME. I'm on a Windex machine now so i'm guessing a bit, but i think you can get it back by Right click taskbar Add -->Applets--> I know there is an applets submenu there somewhere. It's most likely in that. James

Ooh that refresh rate is awfully low! not good for your eyes at all!! it's reccomended not to go under it think 60-70hz. I have an ATI 3D Rage Pro, it's at 1024x768 and has a refresh of... WHOA 60hz! oh well. I have a standard 15" CRT monitor. I'm also terribly off topic!! Sorry!! James

That's what I have! It runs MAndrake 9.1, Fluxbox, sweet! (specs above) THe only annoyance is the slightly long startup (~2-3mins, well long for me). But i can handle that, and i can quicken that when i find the time Sorry to double post James

I used an RPM for a different distro for version .64 (i think it was) you can get a RH rpm here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...hp?group_id=235 Edit: if it doesn't work there is a src.rpm It ought to work. James

I run mdk9.1 sweetly on 300mhz P2. 6gb hdd. I have 160mb ram. And I rarely end up using much of my 200mb swap at all. That was during some intensive Gimp work. I reccomend using a Lightweight wm. Like Fluxbox or IceWM. I use fluxbox, very powerful, very fast. And can be easy to use with creature comforts like idesk, and even the gnome panel or kde kicker if you wish. Anyway good luck. James

I am surprised at that! :P I've been embaressed to show it to anyone for a while. But i thought it might help here. All the XML in it requires IE, i haven't made it compatible with Mozilla (and it doesn't work properly in IE). I haven't touched it since late last year. I've most likely abandoned it now. THe site uses client-side for everything except the Forums. i can use something called Sarissa to make it Moz friendly, but as i said, i've pretty much abandoned it now. It was made before i started with Linux. James

I'm 14 and i taught myself (X)HTML last year along with basic CSS and basic JS ansd basic XML/XSLT. See my page at: http://vrtechau.tripod.com/ All hand coded. NO WYSIWYG Navigation in JS Formatting in CSS and some dodgy XMLthat is IE only and doesn't work James

From my understanding of this thing, i think it'd be a good thing for a LFS, although i still don't quite get it.

Javascript is good for simple things. Like mouseovers and the like. If used well it can make a difference to the page. I used javascript to make navigation for a webpage. I had 1 external js file that was used for every page. One change there changed the whole thing. Made things a lot easier. Also server side stuff is generally browser independant. Which is good. James

NO WYSIWYG. Arrrgh. have you seen the code those char[4][3] multipleexpletives use? Though Dreamweaver is good. Pity there's no linux version.

Ok I taught myself HTML, CSS JavaScript and a lot of that. for HTML tutorial there is no better tutorial than Joe's www.pagetutor.com However you need to pay to see some of it but there are free mirrors easily found on Google. w3schools.com Sooooooooooooooooo usefull. They teach you not only how to use it, but how to be generally standards compliant too!! 8) :lol: :P and there is NO better site for this sort of thing than: www.w3.org A lot of stuff there. Very use full Validator. DHTML? Don't waste your time!!! Learn normal JavaScript. Very very usefull. Also of fun after you learn html is XML and XSLT. These allow you to COMPLETELY seperate formatting and data. And do more of course. http://zvon.org/ Let me know if you need help. I have a huger reference/tutorial colledtion i downloaded off the internet. XML/XSLT, HTML, bit of XHTML, JavaScript, Basic CSS. A lot. I'll upload it if you need it. And one last place which is great for learning how to do something is the good ol' 'Right Click and View Page Source" Good luck, just gimme an email if you need help James

This one is common with Mandy 9.1. I've had it. Simply logout and restart the X server (control alt backspace) And it won't happen till next time you start your machine. It's happened to me too. And a lot of other people I am yet to try this myself but there might be an update for this. So check out updates or download tyme's Mandy 9.1 update ISO. It's on the downloads somewhere. James

I had a similar problem. Simply restart X. It happens to me usually within the first hour of having my computer on. Just CTRL->ALT->BACKSPACE to restart X and it doesn't happen again till next startup.
