The fact is when I just want to convert PDF files to HTML with the Google utility, Mozilla crashes and I have to run it again. This crash does not occur for example when I convert DOC or Postcript files to HTML. Anyone had experience this??? just a thought here, but if you're having trouble with Mozilla-0.9.7 then you may want to take a look at 0.9.8. There are quite a few things that were fixed in that release. one of which was a HUGE speed/performance increase which also translated into stability. Hi all, I have to agree here, definitly check into 9.8 this is the best version or build yet. I have it and havent had any crash problems yet. This is excellent.

Keep in mind I`m no genius here so I need pretty much exact instructions on what to do. Ie type pico then whatever I need to edit the file. Chronos, I have seen you post this question numerous times and I've seen people answer you with some very good answers. With all due respect, there comes a time when you need to think for yourself and work with the instructions that have been given to you. You want to edit a file? How would you do it in DOS? Typing in 'edit' isn't going to magically open up the file you want to modify. Typing in edit filenamee will. These are basic concepts of computer usuage that, no matter what operating system you are using, do the job. That said I am going to settle this once and for all. If you have problems following these instructions then I cannot help you any further. If you are using KDE or Gnome, login as root; Go to Programs-Editors-and pick whatever editor you want. Go to File-Open; Change the directory to /etc (ie: if the default is /root, go up a dir level to /, then click on /etc). Double-click on the file lilo.conf. About 10 lines down you will see something that looks like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hdx initrd="/boot/initrd-2.2.17-mdk.img append " hdg=ide-scsi ide3=autotune ide2=autotune" See the append line? No, its not going to look exactly the same as whats in this email but thats the line you're looking for. Inside the quotation marks INSERT the mem=128M statement. So that now it will look something like this: append "mem=128M hdg=ide-scsi ide3=autotune ide2=autotune" Do not change anything else. Save the changes and exit the editor. Now open a terminal window and type in: lilo and hit your enter key. If you get errors you made a typo. Follow the instructions about and fix your error. Re-run lilo when done. Once you get no errors, reboot your machine. If you are not running KDE or Gnome, then login as root. Type in the command cd /etc. Then type in the command pico lilo.conf. Make the same change as described above. Make sure you run lilo after editing the file. Linux isn't much different than Windows or DOS. Most things work exactly the same way. Have you ever editted a file in Windows? Doing it under Linux uses the same principles. -Chris _ Email your boss can't read - sign up for free disinfo.net email at http://www.disinfo.com, your gateway to the underground

[expert] cdrom deletion error
I accidently deleted the symbolic link to my main cdrom. How do I reset this ? The command I used was cd /dev rm cdrom ln -s scd0 cdrom I have tried cd /dev rm cdrom ln -s hdc cdrom to reset the link but that did not work. My cdrom is on hdc. I need a real answer. Thats why Im here. Chronos. Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
