my top tip add /tmp and /var/log to a different partition ... so if a process runs away and genrates heaps of logs it won't screw up the rest of your system

I don't ... I want to be able to open new windows from an icon on my kicker (or desktop ... what ever I'm using at time) is the perfect answer

Paul, the mandrake version doesn't let you open a second session either it just uses a script that checks if moz is already running , and if it is it opens another window not a new instance of mozilla. the script is /usr/bin/mozilla if you replace all references to the 1.1 libs and executables with the 1.2 versions you can use the icons to open new windows. either that or copy the mozilla script and edit it and save it as something different like mozilla-1.2.1 and create a desktop icon pointing to it. sweet !!! thanx

hi derxen I have the same problem ..... after some frustration, I've given up on mozilla. I know mozilla is great ...blah blah blah .... but the version from mozilla.org won't let me open more than one session from an icon, and the mandrake version keeps crashing. I've switch completely to phoenix (using the texstar version) and it been running sweet for a while now. I copied my $MOZILLA/plugins to $PHOENIX/plugins and everything works now

aahh ... you're right I thought sylpheed did do html ... but further investigation reveals the truth .... It doesn't

sylpheed ... is fast than kmail, but has far less features

running multiple terminals over an ssh session ssh host screen <ctrl-a><ctrl-c> ... create a new screen session man <insert topic here> <ctrl-a><ctrl-a> ... returns to the first screen session vi <insert topic name and files here> now with a simple <ctrl-a><ctrl-a> I can switch between the docs and the files I'm working on. --------------------------------------------------- example 2: I want to rebuild Xfree86 from src on my work machine. screen ./configure <ctrl-a><ctrl-d> ... detach my screen session then I go home ... ssh work-host screen -r ......... re-attach my screen session find out how my ./configure is going :-) ..... 8) cool !!!!

you're right there is no ftp://mandrakeusers.org but there is an ftp://ftp.mandrakeusers.com

yeah ... just delete them ... it a core dump file ... just as steve says ... when something crashes it creates those files

was the config prog called yanc? cos thats what I got ... and altho' I haven't tried turning off cursor shadow ... the prog says that it can be turned off

hey redturtle. it even easier than that .... DON"T un-tar the icon theme when you go to kcontrol->icon->install new theme ... use the .tar.gz really simple :-)

This, plus screen, make the ultimate development evironment !!! 8) screen rocks !!!!! multiple vi sessions 8)

excellent ... that worked perfectly :-) but the file is actually /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0

I know some of you have 3.1rc6 installed (DragonMage) ... have any of you managed to get rid of that annoying console message during KDM ???? are there any other glitches I have found yet that you have? I'm using texstar RPMS

Mandrake is still trading and so I will continue supporting, and as soon a pre-orders for 9.1 come out ... I'll buy it. if Mandrake does turn into a volunteer only organisation ... then I'll support that too. every OS has its little quirks, and Ive spent 3 years learning about the Mandrake ones (and I'm still learning) I'd hate to have start all over again ..... and which OS would I change to?? .... definately not Suse or RH .... maybe Slack, maybe Debian (probably debian) ... or maybe support the NZ efforts and switch to yoper (http://www.yoper.com) but Mandrake is my OS of choice ... and I hope they continue, even if it is a volunteer OS ... with people cannonfodder, we are sure to succeed p.s. cannonfodder !!! you must have a job or a life or something :shock: ... you're not here so much anymore :D

do you guys have adsl routers there? I had (still have but don't use anymore) an adsl router it has 1 ethernet port .... and you don't have to configure pppoe or anything, the router does all the dial-up and negotiation. Just turn it on, and few seconds later you've got internet access here's a link http://www.awcl.co.nz/specification/137/13...9cd/item137.htm

try doing: crontab -e this opens a editor (vi) then put the crontab command like this: 01 * * * * kmail then :wq and you will see a message that says "installing new crontab for user : username"
