Run Xconfigurator. You can generally change monitors with no
reconfiguration unless the new monitor has a restricted scan rate.

I happen to have gimp-1.0.4-7, and I can select print, select lp from
the dropdown box, and it prints just fine (or it would if I had a
better printer than my HP 660Cse which is doing a lousy job on a
Cameron Diaz pin-up I am just now trying it on).

Just rerun Xconfigurator (I think it is) to tell it what kind of
monitor it has. I believe Red Hat can figure out your video card
without running anything.

Subject: KDE and Gnome windows don't fit my screen (new to Linux)
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2001 20:30:08 -0000
I really hope someone can help me with this one. I just bought a
used laptop (Toshiba 660CDT) and decided to try out Linux for the first
time by installing Red Hat Linux as my OS instead of Windows 9x. Just
about everything is working fine except that when a window opens, it is
too large for my screen. I've tried both KDE and Gnome, but the windows
in both are too large for my screen. Re-sizing and moving the window
doesn't work because command buttons, radio buttons, text and other
content within the window are off the screen or covered by the window
borders.
I figure my problem is a pixel-width problem, but I cannot figure out
how to change screen resolution either to try that out. I'm really
starting to enjoy Linux, but this window thing is driving me batty! I
would greatly appreciate any help anybody might be able to provide.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I have a couple of Sparc 2 machines I am thinking about getting them up
and running again, and I am pondering if I shoud load them up with
Redhat Linux or stick with Solaris. I am wondering what the software
availability and performance will be like with Linux comparing to
Solaris.
I'll mainly be using the machines as intranet server and desktop X

The chmod (and chown/chgrp) command is nonfunctional for FAT filesystems.
FAT file systems don't have real permissions.
Instead, you need to change your mount command:
mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/hda5 /mnt/vfat
This 'fakes' permissions of 777 on all files on your FAT file system.

FYI - you could have skipped the gunzip portion - tar xvfz filename will
decompress on the fly... Note the "x" in the options...
You should have a directory with the appropriate files for that program. CD
into the dir, and there should be instructions in the form of a readme or
install file. Look at those (less README) and they should tell you what to
do...
Good Luck!

What resolution are you running in? 640x480, or 800x600? If the laptop
is capable of 800x600 and you're only getting 640x480, then re-run
XConfigurator and specify 800x600 as the only resolution. (I assume the
machine is not capable of 1024x768 because 1024x768 is plenty big enough
for all the KDE windows I've seen while some of them are too large for
800x600.)
If you're running at 800x600 already, and windows are still too big,
there are ways to move and resize windows even when all the handles are
off the screen. In KDE, hold down Alt, left-click, and drag to move a
window. To resize a window, hold down Alt, right-click, and drag. HTH,

I don't think it is just a Windows thing. Since you are copying them from
a read-only media, the destination files end up with the same non-write
permission of the files on cd. I have this same problem with work related
CD-R written by Windows or Mac, no write permission.
I have not used DOS for years (other than ftp client) and it no longer has
help files, so I forgot how to use 'attrib'. Rather tedius to do from
Explorer.
In Linux it is easy enough to do: chmod -R u+w [dir]
Or if you trust your umask: chmod -R +w [dir]

I would strongly suggest you connect the linux box to the modem, then
another NIC in the linux box to the hub, then to the win machine...

Well, I've got an old SparcClassic with RH on it... WOrks well,
albeit slow... Old machine and all... I do know that it runs RH

How about a crossover ethernet cable... If all you need is ftp and telnet,

I prefer my java running on the server anyhow :-) and I don't have much
use for plugins. The only one I ever have a use for is realaudio and I
usually just use realplayer or the trplayer command line utility to
listen to realaudio (I have little scripts written for my favorite
channels so if I want to listen to the bbs world service I just type:
"bbcws" into an xterm or virtual terminal.
What Opera does have going for it is a great interface, a well though
out feature set, fast loading/rendering, a small memory foot print,
and it is - if I remember correctly ~ a 2 meg download. Finally,
unlike IE you don't have to install Windows to run it.
> compared to Mozilla or Netscape.
Even if speed were not an issue I would probably only run one of these
bigger browsers on the rare ocassion that I wanted to use flash/shockwave...
I would still stick with Opera as my main browser tho because I really
like the interface/feature set. With advertising rates going through
the floor I suspect that users will see fewer and fewer high-bandwidth
flash sites in the next little while anyhow.
