Well I'd say you found it so I'll not answer the first one. :-) As for missing keys. Do you have the mandrake keys on your pgp keyring? And if so do you trust them?

Won't urpmi help you out with that? Or better yet why not wait a couple of days for a real release and not use cooker?

Cause if he did they'd have to kil him? It is government after all and we do like to work that way. Umm I mean they do like to work that way. Ya, that's better.

porn per minute. lol That is one new keyboard you owe me, it will never survice having that much coffee spewed on it. :lol:

So what is the problem you are having? And if its in the Software Forum why didn't you look there? :lol:

Yep, I can't wait until the patch to prevent my computer from emailing anyone I don't want it to comes out so I can apply it when they do this.

Never and I have one workstation, one web/ftp and eventually email server and one dedicated box as a firewall. Apps crash, X has occasionally but never linux. What are you doing to make linux crash?

Do a search for the linux port of it? www.kde-look.org has quite a few as I recall also.

It's called Gemz, or at least the port I found on Freshmeat is called Gemz http://freshmeat.net/projects/gemz/?topic_id=268

I assume you mean they can see name@whatever.the.address.is? Or do you mean the output of a /dns nick? In either case if I understand correctly the only way I know of is to run something called a vhost, usually off a shell company. That way when they do a /whois or /dns they get the vhosts information and not yours. In any case having the IP show up isn't much of a problem. Unless of course you've ticked someone off who knows what they're doing. ;-) In which case even the vhost won't help much, they'll just go after that and still knock you off the network.

Sweet, not that I have a problem with 9.0 mind you. Think I'll dl those isos when I get back from vacation and have some fun.

What happens if you fdisk /mbr then try the install again?

Check here http://speculation.org/garrick/urpmifaq.txt and here http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php for urpmi and setting up sources. If you have your sources set up properly you shouldn't have to get the app or any deps. In this case just open a term, su, enter root pass then urpmi mplayer. And bobs your uncle it should install. :-)

Means its not a gzip file but bzipped. Go tar -xjvf filename to extract it. But I have to ask why are you doing it that way and not using urpmi?

That is just sooo not good. Especially after releasing a supposed patch. Do they not test these things out before releasing them? Never mind, obviously they dont. Wonder what RedHat would look like on my boxs?

A little more information would be nice. :-) What happens when you try to run it for example?

Doesn't necessarily mean that the iso on the server is bad. Could just have easily been toasted in transit. :-) But Im sure someone will take a look at it.

MIne was easy to get hooked on linux. She just sat down in front of my linux computer and had to learn. Didn't have a dualboot or vmware installed at the time. I just had to spend some time with her and show her the linux equilivants such as OpenOffice, the default directory it stores files etc. She got so hoked that she wants linux on her laptop now. Too bad it's so old and the ram is allready maxed out in it otherwise I'd install it for her.

Not that I know of, however, have you checked on www.irssi.org and in the scripts section?

lol Well this is going to drive my fiance up the wall. She was making it through the previous verson on a regular basis. :-)

Personally I don''t see anything wrong with this or the XP themes that are out there. We keep going on about getting people off of windows etc. but for most of them the linux learning curve is pretty darn steep. Something that looks familiar to them such as these can help wean them off of windows

I like kde like this. If linux wants to gain popularity among Windows user they have to do that. I personnaly like a terminal more than a GUI but it's the other way around for a newbies... MottS Actually my Dad who's in his 2nd or 3rd week of linux had me install 3.1 on it and he also made comments about cheesy and tacky looking and went back to 3.0. So there ;-) If they continue to go this route I think they should then give us the option for the "new" look or the "classic" look. Humm, may have to email them and suggest that one.

Ahh gross. Is it just me or is KDE looking tackier and tackier as they go on? 3.1 looks like its from a cheesy cartoon. How's the rest going though of the soon to be new release?

http://www.ipv6.org/ or http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ for more information then is good for one person to have. :-)
