pekwm is starting to look tempting :-/ maybe a few more screenshots of some different looks MIGHT convince me....;-)

I've been having this same issue, and haven't found a work around just yet. if i do, i'll let you know.

if I understand correctly, movie DVD's can't be mounted. It's like an audio CD, they just don't mount. Did you try using a program, i.e. Ogle or Xine (with the correct plugins) to play the DVD?

don't use KDE

does anyone know of a tabbed file browser? you know, like mozilla does. that way you can have more than on directory opened in one window...understand what i mean? thanks for any input :-)

which I do have a tendency to do from time to time :-) I wasn't sure about the 1024 cylinder thing. Just figured better safe than sorry. Since you've already tried re-installing the bootloader, give cannonfodders second suggestion a try. Also, leave a little room between the Windows partition and the Linux partitions. This helped fix and issue I had w/XP and Mandrake a while back-seems XP was over running the boundaries it had marked on the hard drive-or something. I really don't remember, I just know Windows does some odd things when it comes to partitioning the hard drive. I've started using Partition Magic to create all partitions before I start an install, seems to work better that way-usually.

You might be running into the 1024 sector issue. Where in, anything after the 1024 sector on a hard drive probably won't be bootable. Also, Western Digital drives have been known to have issues with Linux. WD officially does not support Linux on their hard drives. I would try this: Get a backup of whatever is on that 20 gig partition on the second HD, and then reconfigure the partition setup. Make a short (10mb or so) /boot partition at the beginning of that drive, then the 20gig windows partition, then the rest of your Linux partitions.

What kind of hard drive do you have, what how do you have the partitions set up? This may help someone in finding the answer to your problem.

it's back up again (the link for framer)

fbdesk was always querky for me, and i got idesk working fine at one point (on 9.0). i.e.: fbdesk icons never quite looked right, and the program had a tendency to freeze. not sure why...

I highly doubt it. from what I read it looks like one of those AMD/M$. i'm not sure tho.

gah! another BB-like WM...i'm going get lost trying these things out...seriously! i'm using waimea again, don't get me switching it once more...

i might try kopete but i don't use KDE, so i probably won't. but when i did use KDE i liked kinkatta. it seems it sort of died out tho :-/

mtwiedman is right, however that slight offset wouldn't account for 9 lost gigs. even on my 40 gig (which is western digital and has had quite the issues with linux) i get about 38gigs for usage, so there's something else here...

let's not let one of these winex discussions get out of hand again. just respectfully disagree. (only reason i'm saying this is because i've seen these get ugly, i've also been a part of them. and madhattr, that comment was completely uneccesary.)

he's editing the file: /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

what's up with direct IM and recieving images? was that working in .59?

didn't know that. haven't touched gaim in a year or more.

i just switched to the gaim nightly tarball (last nights). it's great. i love the tabbed windows thing, where you can have all your convo's in one window. i hate having all those damned windows everywhere, that's why i changed to naim. but i like this, so i think i'll stick with it and get .60 when its finally released.

yeah, in that case i would guess it has to do with the contacts inside of the mouse-or the wiring. for trouble shooting purposes, try borrowing a friends mouse and plugging that in and see if you are having the same problems. if not it's definitely your mouse (if they still occur you have bigger problems than just your mouse). and if it's a cheap mouse (i don't know if those are or not) i would just replace it.

if it has a ball, take out the ball and clean the contacts. if it's an optical, try a different surface or clean whatever surface you have it on.

there supposed to be a link of some sort?

all three are up on the mirror i posted. and i'm downloading them as i write this :-)

i see the first ISO image up on my local server: ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distr...ndrake-iso/i586

what's so great about it? i've never been a big fan of gaim. used kaim (which turned into kinkatta) before i got hooked on naim.
