I'm going to guess that you're running as root. By default, the screensavers scripts are not enabled under root -- for security reasons, I believe.

Again, it's a bad idea to use the root account...

I just moved from RH 7.1 to 7.2 using Mozilla 1 RC1 on both. However, the fonts are awful under 7.2 in Mozilla (the font sizes are very small).

The only thing different is that I've installed...

Hey -- I'm just making the boot and root disks for my install of Slack 8 right now!

I tried out Slack 7.1 on an old comp and was won over, so now that I'm installing a larger HD on my main box,...

Dunno if this will help, but I've experienced the same thing. I gave up and just used the command-line tools for moving programs. If you haven't already, look at the man pages for pilot-link as well...

Glad to hear you're starting to swim after diving in.

You're right, I think about just diving in. After putzing with Linux for about a year or more, last summer I just decided that I was going to...

If you have any sort of networking support you can load the OS that way.

Otherwise, you can look into Slackware -- the install still breaks various components down into various "sets", which as I...

Can you explain your setup in a little more detail? Your first NIC should be called eth0, BTW.

How many hosts do you have on your network? How did you try pinging them -- by IP or host name?
If...

I'm trying to access the X server on a Red Hat box from a Slackware box -- they're both networked using NFS.

What I want to do is access the Red Hat box's X-server (and applications) from the...

I just set up Slackware 7.1 on a very low-end system as an NFS/SSH/FTP server for my home network. I must say that I am really very pleased with this distro, and am thinking about moving to Slackware...

I've recently found some prety nifty shell commands. I'm sure these will be old hat for most here, but here are a couple I like:

bc -- does arbitrary decimal-length math.

echo "some math...

Okay, never mind. I found out that if you first manually configure the httpd.conf files then later run the red hat apacheconf tool, it messes everything up. So just restoring the .bak file fixed...

Okay, a little hyperbolic title, still, there are some strange looking things going on, and I can't
seem to get Apache back up and running again.

I'm running Apache on my little box -- it's...

Well, I remember banging my head against a wall on this one too, finally logging in as root to install the plugin.

I don't recall, but I don't believe the install info actually mentions to watch...

demian,

thanks *so* much for your help -- your suggestions really hit the spot, and the site you mentioned is exactly what I was looking for too!

Thanks for the encouragement and help!

Does anyone happen to know what files I need to edit to control the size of an application's window when it loads?

I'm using emacs and it always opens so that it is about 1/3 longer than my...

Scott_R's advice is sound.

I think you also need to factor in the purpose for the site you are about to build, and ask yourself if the flash whiz-bangs serve any real purpose. If it's just...

I didn't have any reference to XVidMode in my config file, so I added the line:


"XVidMode" = "Y"

to the [x11drv] section. When I tried to run the game, the window opened (again 1/3 the...

Thanks everyone!

I had known about the wine gaming success page, but I was unable to locate the version mentioned there. I am, however, able to run fallout using wine version 20010112, which seems...

I totally agree! When I first really got into Linux, the one thing that really bugged me was the lack of a great browser. As of the 0.9.5 release, I think Mozilla mops the floor with IE. The tabbed...

try
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla

Works for me...

Thanks -- that's a good point. The impression I got is that it pretty much universally works, with only a few releases that caused it to be a bit buggy, but subsequent releases fixed those problems....

I am unable to get Fallout to work under Wine, even though everyone else says it works perfectly.

I have windows installed on hda1, linux on hdb. Today I figured out how to mount windows and edit...

Not sure that this is going to exactly answer your question, but simply selecting the apache packages should cause the install to do a dependancy check, at which point you'll be prompted to add the...

While this development saddens me a little, not to mention the fact that the derugulation that made AOLTW possible is not necessarily a good thing, it might not end up being *that* horrible.

For...

Try a

$ whereis icewm

Then root around in the directories that are returned.

The icewm faqs are here. From the faqs:


Hope that helps.
