    cat /usr/X11R6/bin/startfluxbox

   cp /usr/share/fluxbox/startup ~/.fluxbox

   /usr/X11R6/bin/bsetroot -solid Black

   exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox

    ok firstly this was done on MDK9.0

    ..... install imlib-devel

    urpmi imlib-devel

     

    this is what I needed to install to get this to compile

    libglib1.2-devel-1.2.10-6mdk.i586

    libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-29mdk.i586

    libimlib1-devel-1.9.14-5mdk.i586

    libjpeg62-devel-6b-25mdk.i586

    libpng3-1.2.4-3.2mdk.i586

    libpng3-devel-1.2.4-3.2mdk.i586

    libtiff3-devel-3.5.7-5mdk.i586

    libungif4-devel-4.1.0-19mdk.i586

    zlib1-devel-1.1.4-3mdk.i586

     

    get this http://loudas.com/~paul/idesk.tar.gz

    untar it 

    tar xvfz idesk.tar.gz

    it has one prebuilt binary ..

    follow the instuction about setting up .ideskrc and .idesktop/

     

    run the binary 

    ./idesk

     

    see if that works

    if it does ... try compiling it your self ..... again ... :#:

     

    good luck

    import duties aside ... I've not had any problems buy from mandrakestore

  13. Automatic dockapp launch + esetroot

    Posted

    Esetroot is part of Eterm ... so no you don't need E .. just Eterm

     

    is there a file ~/.fluxbox/startup ???? there should be

    this is what mine looks like

    # Applications you want to run with fluxbox.

# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ``&'' AT THE END.

#

wmCalClock &

xscreensaver &

# idesk &

wmix &

# fbdesk &



# And last but not least we start fluxbox.

# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ``exec'' before it.



exec fluxbox

    are you using Mandrake?

    the imap package is on the cd's .. but you probably already have it installed right? and you're using pop3 thru xinetd?

     

    theYinYeti (I think it was him) seems to think the imap package is bad, although I've used it for 3years and haven't had any problems.

     

    mail.davinci.co.nz uses mandrake imap package (thats my last employer)

    pop3.loudas.com uses mandrake imap package ..

    and they both run fine !!

    I don't allow imap access to the outside world. because that causes problems with traffic ($$$) ... but this won't bother you right ?? cause your using fetchmail etc etc ?

     

    storing 10gig of mail ?????? man bzip2 would be my first step :P

  15. multiple disks mounted on /home

    in Hardware

    Posted

    .......and the /home partition is full and i want to increase it ..  

     

    which is why my /home is on a different drive :-)

    new harddrive with more space will fix it for me :-)

     

    also ... if I need to take *bulk data* (more than a couple of cd's) anywhere ... I can take out my /home drive and mount it on somebody elses computer :#: cool !!!

  16. multiple disks mounted on /home

    in Hardware

    Posted

    you can mount any partition anywhere you want .. just be sure that you backup files from that directory first

    if you want to mount a partition to /home

    then

    cp -R /home/* /some/other/location

mount /dev/hdX /home

    done !!!

     

    example: here are my mount points

    paul@trinity paul $ mount

/dev/hda5 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

proc on /proc type proc (rw)

none on /dev type devfs (rw)

/dev/hda6 on /var/log type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

/dev/hda7 on /tmp type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

/dev/hdb1 on /home type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

paul@trinity paul $

     

    notice I have hdb1 (a second hard drive) mounted to /home

    hda1 is /boot (which isn't mounted unless I update my kernel) hda2 is SWAP and hda5,6,and 7 are Extended partitions inside hda3

     

    cool ?[/code]

    Why the heck is it ranked 1st in the www.distrowatch.com ranking??? Is it so popular?

     

    yes ... because it from NZ :P

     

    nah .. not really, its because its new, every nody *check out* new distros.

    theres a big discussion going over at pclinuxonline.com about the distrowatch ratings

  19. fbdesk over idesk

    in Software

    Posted

    if you can't get anything to compile then it may be a problem with gcc

     

    idesk is a pretty simple program, so if this won't compile, I would look into gcc

    paul@trinity paul $ gcc --version

gcc (GCC) 3.2.2
