Genius should go before Guru. I've done LFS several times (hard at first but it became easy), but I can't code drivers, debug code, write apps etc...

it is developing very fast!!! hope it continues!!! In the space of 1 month it went from usable to very configurable. It's coming together nicely. I need to update mine, as I haven't logged into it in 2 months. Opus3_MCity-Earth_GTK-Seringetti_Wallpaper

http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/2.2/ch07s07.html what gnome? 2.8? 2.10? 2.12? in 2.12 you can then click Add> and Use custom command It will then be added to the list and can be made the default. Now what that does to a shortcut with file:// ....I don't know....I've never used another file manager in the recent gnome's... but probably nothing will happen, so rox will not know how to open it. I doubt you can change file:// w/o editing sources and compiling, which would be a nighmare.

Opus [major update] screenshot preview

hey freebsd can look good :D ...except for firefox (xul app) and its lame scrollbar spinners epiphany!

[updated-mcity] didn't like the prelight buttons, so changed them http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/mcity/Opus3-MCity.tar.gz [updated-gtk]Added a lighter/tanish version of the gtk http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/theme/gtk/Si...oth-Opus.tar.gz

Because this restriction, while it might seem an annoyance at first, ensures a very sensible security policy. If you're running a browser on the internet, you're running as a user of the machine, not an administrator. If you want to install software, or change things in the machine's settings, you have to be an administrator (or know the password to become one). You only take on the role of administrator when you want to do administrative things, and when you're browsing you're a user. Ok, so you have to type a password and become root to install stuff, that's a minor inconvenience, but it means that you can't knacker your whole system accidentally, and if some internet nasty gets hold of your browser, it only has privileges to do what a user can do, ie it can't hook into the OS and install some nasty backdoor or whatever. Any vulnerabilities are mitigated by this security model, which of course is also possible with a Win system (given good practices) but less often observed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, didn't mean to go over your head. Users can't go out of the $HOME DIR...so again...Gotta be root. Why?

[updated the gtk]I changed the 'edge' from smooth to thin.

There is one very simple reason for such things being easier in Windows - the web sites you relate to, were deliberately and intendedly designed for users of IE on Windows. Their designers care neither for alternative browsers nor for alternative OSes, for variety of reasons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not what I was being referred to. I've been taken to the linux downloads for flash and opera browser, but then what? Gotta be root. Why?

Someone request a metacity port of the xfce4 port of Opus3 so I threw it together. Screenie Opus3-MCity Simply_Smooth-Opus_GTK

I'd say it is still the closest. The code that would be required for some of the things you mention could easily be added by a distro (....i.e..popups...install missing software etc..) Yes, this can easily be done for a user that doesn't have root privy's. In this day of Huge Storage when an app is installed by a user they should get a popup that ask if they want to install it to their $HOME DIR, not a popup that ask for the root password There was a time, you had to learn windows. As you pointed out Nero stuck in your head from the box you paid for ;) Linux has it on their cd's. They are not funny names, their just already there for you to find. But you had to find out about Nero, just the same. Linux Web Browser media integration does stink. It is hard to believe we still can't get that right. Sad really.

Glad you got it working! You can use the KDE apps in Gnome, just like you can use gnome apps in KDE. Gnome usually has its own app, but you do not have to use them.

so pbpersson, it's that time again? :D I think you are expecting too much. You get what you pay for, and linux isn't ready for the 'Big Show'. I rememer my first try. Mandrake 7.2. Installed fine, nothing worked>researched and found my hardware was too new....so I removed it. Tried again with MAndrake 8.1 and everything could work if I was willing to make it work. I did, and I did it knowing what I said above. You get what you pay for, and linux isn't ready for the 'Big Show'. That is the attitude I have always held towards Linux and it gets me through the hard times it gives me. This is not 'ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country'....it's an OS, it should work. If it doesn't, move on to the next, find a diff distro, or continue in win. Whatever....

well if all you want is to play some games, install and use Gnome. According to this http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux_News04/M...se_Story01.html the left handed mouse config in the Gnome Control Center works

Thank you! I never go there, since quality stuff is so rare there you have to dig through 10 pages to find something.

ooo...where can we get the wallpaper?

cable connection should work. you'll notice in your route command output that there is not an eth0. There needs to be an eth0 and it needs to be the gateway. If you are doing a reinstall, choose cable connection.
