paul

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

Sorry, paul, I stole your thunder ;)

: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 -

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

This is a well known issue with RendelAccel option on the nvidia drivers. The 3123 drivers have it enabled while the 4191 drivers have it disabled by default. Nothing to do with the kernel.

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

interesting stuff

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3...8846&highlight=

I know a few of you are already using xfree4.3.

anon !! DragonMage ???

so what are the cool new things?

and where can I find some interesting cursors ... and don't say red-dot coz I didn't think that was so cool :(

yeah you're right ...

exactly :-)

and you could have in your .bashrc, startx but then what the point?

yes you can

I have a local webserver with all 3 mandrake cds on it (not in iso format)

then I make a network boot disk .. you can find that on cd1 under /images

the boot disk will ask whether you want to do a "nfs", "http" or "ftp" install. give you network details and away you go

startx /usr/bin/startkde

startx /usr/bin/startgnome (I think)

startx /usr/bin/fluxbox

you can even do this

startx /usr/local/games/ut/ut

or

startx /usr/local/games/ut2003/ut2003

:-)

reboot = shutdown -r now

halt = shutdown -h now

its quite easy

edit /etc/inittab

look for a line like this

id:5:initdefault:

and change it to

id:3:initdefault:

all logs are stored in

/var/log/

you could start by looking thru /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog

hostname is got thru the ifcfg-ethx files on boot up .. so if you change the hostname in ifcfg-ethx then when you reboot it will be changed :-)

edit you /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth file

example ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth1

this will make the changes stick

good point qnr .... I'm using vanilla-sources so preempt patch might speed things up
