Whenever you get a message like that you can go to www.rpmfind.net and do a search and usually you can find which rpms you need to install.
-
I'm using Kapital and so far I like it a lot. My only complaint is that the search function isn't working but they're coming out with a new version Feb 2003 and I'm eligible for a free upgrade so hopefully it'll fix that problem. There will be added features including the ability to export which it doesn't have now. I like the fact that it only has two files and I can easily back them up on a floppy after each use.
-
I found these. Haven't tried any of them so I don't know how they work.
-
I just had to post this to celebrate. After one whole month of beating my head against the wall I finally got this program to work. Who says persistance doesn't pay off?! :D
Damn I love Linux!
-
Which version of KDE are you using? KDE2.2.2 was in a different directory than KDE3. I believe KDE3 was in /opt and KDE2.2.2 was in /usr.
-
This is for KDE3. Should work - https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...?group_id=51677

I have the same problem but if I uprmi the package by name it installs just fine. :?
-
-
Thanks emh. I couldn't get it to work but I really appreciate the help.
-
I'm not sure what you mean. I tried running wine again and I'm back to my original error message but my config file shows the changes I made.
-
Hi zero0w,
When you get your to-do's figured out please post this in the Tips, Tricks and FAQ section so that others can benefit from it. Thanks!
-
Well I don't use Mozilla but I did some checking and under Edit, Preferences, Navigator, there's a download tab with three different options. If you've already tried that and it doesn't help then you can kick me. Now how's that for a deal? :wink:
-
Well I made the changes and then unmounted Windows, removed wine and re-installed and now I'm receiving this error:
Invalid path 'C:Windows' for windows directory: does not exist
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
I have Windows ME installed on a second HD.
-
Thanks emh! I'd found the config file earlier but don't know enough to know what's wrong. Anyway, here it is.

On their website they're selling computers pre-installed with Mandrake. Wal Mart
-
I checked the Wal Mart web site and they don't show it yet. I bought 8.1 at Best Buy. I just checked and they're already carrying the 9.0 Power pack. http://www.bestbuy.com/software/Detail.asp...1023&e=11186260
As far as ordering it from Mandrake I've read similar complaints about it taking several weeks to receive it.

I have to admit that I've found Linux to be frustrating at times although every install has been as smooth as can be for me. It recognizes all my hardware and installs the correct drivers. I do think Linux is ready for the desktop environment for most people that don't have specific problems with their systems that are difficult to overcome. I can use Linux to do anything I can do with Windows with the exception of two programs. One is software that I have to use for work and once I figure out how to get wine working I may try installing it. The other has a Linux version but it's out of date so I'm currently working on getting that to install with wine.
If Linux were used in an office type environment where a system administrator had to make the kind of changes that you're talking about then the average user could learn to run a Linux desktop in no time. Personally I like the fact that a lot of things aren't automated like they are in Windows cause it actually makes me use my brain and think things through. I like the challenges even though I know I have a long way to go. It's an on going process that to me, although frustrating is also very rewarding.
-
I'm trying to install a Windows application because the Linux version is so out of date it won't work under MDK 9. The first problem I have is the following error message:
Warning: /usr/bin/wine.bin not accessible from a configured DOS drive
I've *tried* reading the wine documentation and it's pretty difficult to follow. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just downloaded and installed Kapital yesterday. It was only $24.95 and so far I like it a lot. It imported my .qif file with no problems and it works a lot like Quicken.

One reason to use it counterspy is when you come across a very long url which widens the page so that you are forced to scroll sideways in order to read an entire post. To me that's frustrating. Using
[url=whatever] Topic [/url]
solves that problem.

Congratulations DOlson. :)

I'm not familiar with the programs you mentioned but if you use the KDE desktop there's an applet called KNewsTicker. It provides all kinds of stories from different sources. Hope this helps!
