By...any...chance...you have a link? :) > I'd love to read about that.

You can also use a good front-end, and save editing config files by hand to projects that are a little more cutting edge [read : fun] http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/ There are many good firewall programs that are highly configurable. Aru is right though,

100% correct. But why not put it in a .xinitrc file regardless. that way, if you decide to play in another WM or desktop, your screensaver settings will be a non-issue...they'll always he there.

Experts back me up: NEGATIVE. thats the beauty of UNIX based systems is that they could care less where on the drive they are, as long as at boot it knows where to look. i.e. in my opinion, use a linux boot loader. If it were me, I would back up my data, media, saves, whatever..>and however I found to be easiest, then install windows first. Windows installs are tough about recognizing other filesystems than what it can use. [ seriously...do the linux install and pay attention to how many filesystems it knows of and compare it to a WinXP install.] and then when done, install linux over it. guarunteed, MDK 9 install will recognize it and safely preserve it. If you have the option to backup to some form of removable, or network media, than even better. Then you can take an even more planned out approach to your partition scheme. I do this for example. Linux has no built in partition for what i use, you can make your own. I use one called /stuff thats where I keep all my mp3, videos, pictures, docs...etc. at work, on my dual boot, its a FAT32 filesystem, but I never have media there for long...(c'mon..its work, how miscievious can you be? :mystilol: ) At home, good 'ol rieserFS. What I'm trying to suggest; is back up anything you care about to CD your configuration files in /home /etc and any other directory that you have spent a lot of time working on. then... experiment...

I would have to say user error. It is possible to install something with the WIN2K kernel over an existing Linux install. You just have to be careful. I for one think that in an instance like this, it is best to have two drives; one for system shit, and one for data. data; who cares what filesystem type, one will read the other. What I did at work was just have a MDK boot floppy. When the WinXP install was done, I used the MDK boot floppy to get to a shell. run LILO, and BAM, rebuilt LILO boot loader, with an option to boot XP, and the best part is, XP has no idea what the hell is going on!!! :shock:

I'm sure texstar would pick it up and continue his milenium falcon distro....... :lol:

its hard to picture what you are talking about. I don't suppose you can post a screenshot can you?

to reduce the number of desktops in KDE, right click and go the option for configure desktop. lookj around in there, you should see a place to configure your desktops. let us know if you need more help.

i'd like to see a disclaimer saying there will be a 9.2

one of them is probably resetting the hardware clock.

To answer your question, yes. But can you tell us what window manager you are using?

excellent.

I don't get that at all.

I get this from time to time and the only thing to do as far as I know is log out and restart X.

changing that "" to a "/" worked for me. I'm up and running! thanks for doing the leg work bvc!!!

did you do the update from the terminal as soon as you installe it? you can't do that from the GUI, and I'm pretty sure that that is the error message that you get.

umm...gotta love new error messages. [pwolfe1@TECH04 pwolfe1]$ fluxspace Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr//bin/fluxspace", line 101, in ? configDOM = xml.dom.minidom.parse(path) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 962, in parse return _doparse(pulldom.parse, args, kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 954, in _doparse toktype, rootNode = events.getEvent() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xml/dom/pulldom.py", line 255, in getEvent self.parser.feed(buf) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line 148, in feed self._err_handler.fatalError(exc) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/xml/sax/handler.py", line 38, in fatalError raise exception xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException: <unknown>:33:20: not well-formed (invalid token) [pwolfe1@TECH04 pwolfe1]$

BAM...in the readme it talks about moving a file called fluxspace.xml over to the ~/.fluxbox directory.

Thats what I figured.....oh well. the MDK box I have at work is where I test things so I don't break the one at home, so I guess its time to learn.

see despite my infinate linux wisdom, :roll: :roll: :roll: this is still something I'm not clear on. would i literally make uninstall fluxspace and what directory would I do this in? :?:

is it safe to do tyme's suggestion if I have already installed this into /usr/local/lib?

this may be a stupid question, but I have to ask: Is iptables installed?

hehe, and I'll try as soon as I get to work. I'd hate to break my box at home. rather do that to one of my work PC's!!!!! 8)

IRC...IRC...IRC

well, I've gotten it to build and install on 2 completely different systems, but still can't get it to load. I've just been trying to get it to load from that autostart.sh. no dice. :evil: WTF does that mean "no module named fluxspace."
