  1. The easy-lazy way is to go Configuration-KDE-Look'N&Feel-Select Splash Screen You can immediately choose between 3 or 4 and you can add more your self via the ADD button. Apparently it has to be some KDESplash/Boot theme fle, but it must be explained and found at kde-themes.org or KDE-look, where ever they are. Amazingly, pushing the HELP button reveals how you can make more splash images to add as screens. This is for KDE 3.2
  2. this should go in a newly created file called user.js in /home/users login/.thunderbird/default/jibbersh.slt/ I did a search, and didn't find anything regarding this in tips and tricks, so I hope it is not a duplicate. Regards, Scott Did you try changing the file associations in Configuration-KDE-Components- and select your desired browser for the particular extension? It smartly groups extensions so both htm and html etc is in the same group. What happens if you do this?
  3. Thanks to Static for starting this subject. I had been waiting for an easy explanation for upgrading and what could be easier than this! I got a bit worried when I saw all the kernel options for download but settled for this: kernel-2.6.3.4mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm 17780 KB 02-03-2004 12:11:00 Adding the repository source was done by finding the formula at www.urpmi.org/easyurpmi and replacing the ftp-path with the one Static gave, and follow the advice for the comand line. Later I noticed I already had the Cooker included, but anyway. Urpmi downloads a handfull of dependencies and in a few minutes you are done and can reboot. The new kernel option was listed at the bottom, as 263-4 I believe. This curiosity is the price for the extremely fast and simple installation procedure. Later I will have to edit LILO so te new kernel option sits at top and starts by default. Now I will look for a simple guide to edit LILIO. Is it something with an editor and then 'running' LILO? Sure, my discounted 'Running Linux' says edit /etc/lilo.conf anf run /sbin/lilo 'Edit' means move the bottom set of LILO info, created by the above, up in front and give a meaningful label like you see on the others. Will it work? - Stay tuned. Here we go. Ups: [root@giga he]# /sbin/lilo Fatal: Image name, label, or alias contains a blank character: 'Kernel 2.6.3-4' I can handle THAT :-) [root@giga he]# nedit (frantically tinkering on the keys) [root@giga he]# /sbin/lilo Added Kernel_2.6.3-4 Added linux * Added linux-nonfb Added failsafe Added floppy [root@giga he]# looks good? Ups, Not listed as no. 1. A closer look at Lilo.conf shows the first lines defines which kernel to select as default. This is easy: Insert the correct label name as default. Lets ses how far we are. Well this was just dandy. Everything is fine: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map default="Kernel_2.6.3-4" keytable=/boot/dk-latin1.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-4mdk label="Kernel_2.6.3-4" root=/dev/hda1 read-only optional vga=788 append=" devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-4mdk.img image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only
