inflexion

thanks for that, as i was never a redhat fan, ill demote FC below ubuntu as ive yet to have a go with gentoo so ill leave that one last :D

unrar is a total bitch. it does work through ark but you have to tell it manually everytime that its a compressed rar file. Little messy but works none the less :)

Right i think that its time for a new laptop and a Powerbook looks like its going to be my choice 1) i would like some exposure to Mac OS 2) its not winblows :P 3) they look soo nice 4) i can use linux still so whats a good distro for them, i know that mandrakesoft have gone to 9 and then someone else has taken over the PPC version of 10 so isnt officially supported, but whats it like does anyone know? I also keep getting told to try Yellow Dog on the mac forum i go on, again anyone does/have used it? I think that im getting suckered into buying a mac cause they look nice like my iPod but still i wont listen till i get one so looks like this choice will happen

my tip, use KDE 3.2 and when you get a little more confident then go for 3.3 cause 3.2 is workin fine for most people

yes some people have that problem (holds his hand up) ah well we might all grow out of it one day :D

that router was about to get my reccomendation, dont personally have one (yet!) but a few mates have them and not a bad word to say against them

to book back down to a terminal i think its just init3 to book to gui you give startx

yea thats all ive done but i copied the whole file to the directory?? i just stuck both in to make sure and it works on the bbc website

open a new terminal the type su then the root password now you have full system access inside that terminal window as root. If you want to do it through Gnome then just log out and then it gives you a normal login box so put the user name as root then the password and then feel free to edit anything you want :) Just be careful though, other wise the install discs might come back out :o

i do agree with the comments you have all made thats why i like to tell all you lot that have/will help me out that i appriciate you help. I have had the same thing with Windows, helping people and nothing so much as a "thanks its working now" or a "no that still dont work" I think that some people are too proud to say thank you's Rest assured as long as newbies like me remain here, thanks for help will eb given as we are the ones that really do want to learn for our selfs rather than getting someone else to do it

thanks ill try the GUI first though and remember the CLI ;)

ill second that one mate (H) took me about 2 hours to get mine working when i first used RH9! i like to install my programs in /usr/share/ so that everyone can see them if i want all users to see them. Its all about what you want not what the default is. this is from a pdf ive got and might help you as it did me for a while / root directory /opt where most 3rd party progs are kept /etc where most config files are kept /bin essential command binarys/(exe's) /sbin essential system bin /tmp tempory files /lib shared libarys and kernel modules /dev device nodes

my urpmi is all set up i was just woundering the CLI command for it thats all ;)

ok thanks for that but what command should i use for doing this through urpmi?

oh my god its workin. i feel like a right royal plum :P thanks aRTee

im trying to mount any type of media card i put in it, i have tried both my memory stick and MMC card and none will mount so i cant get the stuff if them.

use the search button and read the massive thread on the alcatel modem :)

if anyone could get iTunes to transfere songs to any iPod i think all of us would be happy bunnys

open a new terminal then they type su then type "mkdir" [nameyouwant] where you want :) hope that helps

right ive been readin about them but only with reference to the 2.4 kernal and having mass storeage enabled which i know it is. Its a 9in1 Flash Mover (if that helps) and this is the output from my fstab file /dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,r o,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 if anyone can help us out

mate no one really care about these stupid offers so go spam another board

does the file have the same name as it asks for?? just a though?

thanks for that i woundered where my DVD was ;)

mags nice :) it might convince a few more to convert at a real O/S

you need to copy them both into that firefox plugins directory, that what i did and i can get 1xtra of the bbc site :)
