  1. The link works for me now too!!! The menu's work in Galeon 1.2.11 (although that does use Gecko). Incidently, how did you do the menus, I had a quick look at the source but it seems it's locked away in a CSS somewhere - your pages are well funky!!! </kiss-ass>
  2. The magazine Linux Format is pretty good for that in the UK, AFAIK it's also available in Australia and the US as an import (read expensive).
  3. Your link seems to be bust illogic-al, looking forward to reading your tutorial
  4. The reason you're not going to find apt in redhat books is that redhat doesn't come with apt, it's a third party ad-on. Except in the case of slackware, tar isn't a package - it's just a way of compressing files into an archive - the linux books I've read tend to have brief sections on compiling source code, which appears to be what you mean. I'd recommend the book RUTE, it's freely available on the web (in html and ps formats IIRC) and you can also buy a hardcopy if you feel the need.
  5. erm, hopefully your uni has a site-lisence for visual C++ ?
  6. If you can't remember the full name of the rpm you might find the following handy: rpm -qa | grep -i yahoo which will tell you the name of the rpm, minus the rpm extension
  7. One thing I'll add is to always read the README that comes with most software, theres usually installation instructions in there.

    Document scanning

    pdf is actually reasonably compressed, compare a pdf to a ps and you can often find it is much smaller. If you're simply wanting the documents backed up somewhere you could always archive them with tar and then bzip the lot of them. I've a sneaky suspicion this isn't what you want however.

    binaries

    In my opinion you shouldn't really be running programs such as open office as root, root should really only be used for sys admin tasks that require you to be root. Anyway, to see your path echo $PATH you will see this is different for root than for mortals, if you switch to root using su -

    perl

    I'm no perl guru but I assume it means you need a perl module LWP which should contain the script UserAgent. The best place to look for modules is CPAN. Hope this helps,
  11. Ixthusdan: The problem is concerned with installing the nforce drivers for network and sound, not the graphics drivers. From there you probably are best rebuilding the src rpm (bottom of the nforce download pagge) as an rpm for your distro and installing that.
  12. IIRC nvidia do src rpm's too so you can build a binary for whatever kernel you're running.
  13. Sorry I was unintentionally spreading bad info - I haven't actually got UT2003. I do know that unreal (using the UT engine), UT and quake 3 all perform better, for me, under Linux.
  14. You could try using a shell script: #!/bin/bash for i in *.tar.gz do tar -xvzf $i done exit 0 I have no idea if this will work or not, let me know if it does...
  15. Just a stab in the dark but have you tried using backticks (`) instead of appostraphies?
  16. AFAIK all of the Unreal games run under Linux with the exception of Unreal 2 (which was a bit bobbins anyway), and as icculus is working on it you can gaurantee it'll be better on Linux than windows.
  17. In my experience supermount tends to work every other release, unfortunately it works in 9.1 :wink: 1. To load the RH screensavers you'd just install the rpm # rpm -Uvh redhat-screensaver.rpm Are they actually that different from the Mandrake ones? I thought they were just Xscreensaver ones? 2. bvc already told you how to do that >rpm -e --nodeps pkg_name 3. Of course thats ok, you're downloading a binary package. 4. Bluecurve is strictly a unified desktop, the idea is that you can't really tell the difference between bluecurve gnome or kde. Hope this helps,
