  1. In KDE, go to the Configuration menu, navigate to KDE - Components - File associations.

     

    Under known types, open up the Text tab and select Html. If Firefox is shown in the application preference order, click and move it to the top. If not, click on Add and select Networking then WWW - hopefully Firefox will be listed - select then move it to the top of the list.

  2. This is my attempt at a translation with the help of Worldlingo:

    I have freshly installed Official mdk 10 on a PC. With the install, as I am behind a router I left the dhcp option. Everything worked very well: access to the machines in local area network and Internet. I installed Samba to make it into a server and modified the IP and DNS parameters with MDK tools. Access to Internet does not work any more.

     

    It seems that the config tools have cocked up the DNS addresses (127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf!!!!). I modified the files /etcsysconfig/network-scriptsifcfg-eth0 and /etcresolv.conf with the correct values but still no access to the Internet. Ping works between the machines on the network.

     

    What have I forgotten?

     

    Thank you.

  3. If you'll look again at my command line results above, it showed that I su'ed to root > password > then I wrote lspci (space) -v (space) -v....is this  command correct with a space before each -v?

    Anyway, it came back as "bash: lspci :command not found".

     

    The command is documented as 'lspci -vv', but Gowator's version works too. You don't have to be root to run it, but you get a bit more info if you are.

     

    Looks like a problem with lspci... :unsure:

  4. I've been with PlusNet for almost a year and can recommend them.

     

    The standard package (ADSL Home) costs £21.99, but I have Homesurf for £18.99 as I don't need peer-to-peer. :)

     

    The modem they offered wasn't compatible with Linux so I got an Alcatel Speedtouch. You may find it simpler to get a router instead... :unsure:

     

    Have a look around their portal - you should find answers to most of your questions.

  5. How do you access the books?  I couldn't get beyond the linux biook page, there seem to be no active links

    Just click on the open book symbols - but beware! Opening one of the books on C caused some weird effects. The new window wouldn't close and some other applications ceased to respond. I had to log out to correct the situation. :(

  6. I can't help with your problem, but here's my /etc/fstab...

  7. The Oakland Tribune speculates...

     

    Kottke and Danny Sullivan, editor of Search Engine Watch, said Google should even be thinking about selling a Google PC. It could run a version of Linux with Google's search technology built in and include an open-source alternative to the Microsoft Office suite of business software. After all, they note, Google already sells a server computer, the Google Search Appliance, that lets companies search their internal or public Web sites.
