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]

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

I setup a local imap server .. moved mail mail to that local imap server. Then you can use any mail client you want (that supports imap) also this thread might be of some help http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...3561&highlight=

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 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

ps2pdf .. I don't know whether its on 9.1 tho' ... should be

OT: ... just stick with fluxbox 8) and use the KDE apps that you want to.

I've had more luck with idesk than I have with fbdesk

cool ... now go play with themes :-) http://loudas.com/~paul/ are the two themes I have written

go here http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/fluxbo...x/mandrake.html and follow the instructions. If you install fluxbox from .tar.gz it won't work as well. use the .src.rpm ... it has all the Mandrake specific thing included

I haven't found a way around it yet :-( .. and it seems to be a mandrake only problem

just use the .src.rpm's and rebuild them

:P yes you did !!! :P I have a file called /usr/bin/transterm and another called su_transterm this is /usr/bin/transterm paul@trinity paul $ cat /usr/bin/transterm #!/bin/bash aterm -fade 66 -shading 50 -tr -trsb -sr -st -sl 2000 -bg black -fg white -fn -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -sb -name aterm -T 'Transparent aTerm' -loginShell paul@trinity paul $ this is su_transterm paul@trinity paul $ cat /usr/bin/su_transterm #!/bin/bash aterm -fade 66 -shading 50 -tr -trsb -sr -st -sl 2000 -bg black -fg white -fn -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -sb -name aterm -T 'Transparent aTerm' -e su - paul@trinity paul $ this way I don't have to remember that damn long command anymore :D altho SDMF has some interesting ideas, I didn't know you could do it with .Xresources actually the transparent thing you've got round the wrong way ... Esetroot is much better to use for backgrounds, Esetroot has been written much better. less memory use, etc etc etc I have 2 dockapps running wmCalClock & wmix both of them I got from *the dockapp warehouse* http://www.bensinclair.com/dockapp/ icons are done with idesk http://linuxhelp.hn.org/idesk.php there is also fbdesk http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/fbdesk/

I can almost lay money that it will be msec edit /etc/postfix/aliases and put your self in the root aliases example: # CHANGE THIS LINE to an account of a HUMAN root: paul@mandrakeusers.org after that run postalias /etc/postfix/aliases then you will recieve emails from msec and other services ... it should tell you when it changes things

I chown paul.paul /var/www/html and it seems fine so long as you are careful with your chmod'ing generally I chmod 755 everything that is in the documentroot

yes .. on further inspection .. this is what I have # To use server-parsed HTML files # AddType text/html .shtml AddHandler server-parsed .shtml and this <Directory /var/www/html/loudas.com> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> and it works fine

I think you should comment out the Addtype and AddHandler for SSI because Mandrake uses mod_ssi doesn't it? therefore its a *part* of apache already ... I think ... or maybe I'm full of crap :? :P

all good web developers use xhtml !

you can change the background with Esetroot or bsetbg Esetroot -scale /path/to/my/image the style can be completely stand alone (no image required) or my styles: seen here http://loudas.com/~paul/ have this command in it rootCommand: Esetroot -s /usr/share/commonbox/backgrounds/ILoveFB.png

it is free, isn't it???? I like yoper ... altho I don't use ... but perhaps that because I like supporting NZ projects :P

cool 8)

ditto for gentoo .... hard to setup, easy to keep going and upgrade

reboot for KERNELS ONLY !!! :P

so does this mean I will get different results between 3123 and 4191 ??? and in that case which is better?

have a look at this and see if this helps paul@trinity paul $ xrandr --help usage: xrandr [options] where options are: -display <display> or -d <display> -help -o <normal,inverted,left,right,0,1,2,3> or --orientation <normal,inverted,left,right,0,1,2,3> -q or --query -s <size>/<width>x<height> or --size <size>/<width>x<height> -r <rate> or --rate <rate> -v or --version -x (reflect in x) -y (reflect in y) --screen <screen> --verbose paul@trinity paul $
