Hi,
here are some (maybe stupid) HowTo-questions for Mandrake:
1.
After each install of the Mandrake, linuxconf give the error-msg
that some of the /etc/*-files are newer as the current date
The reason is maybe that I select during install timezone Europe/Berlin.
As circumvention I always have to do a recursive touch to all /etc/*
After this the linuxconf works well.
Is this the right way ? Maybe this should be done from the
mandrake_firstime ?
2.
Since a long time (I don't know anymore when this was changed) I missed
from the KDE-desktop
the possibility to create a new icon (when I press the right
mousebutton).
Maybe I can modify the mousemenu but I think this should be a standard
procedure for all users.
Is there any other way to create a new icon execept a new folder ?
3.
In Mandrake there are two typs of C-compilers: gcc (the standand) and
additional egcs after installation in /usr/lib/gcc-lib. But in the
/usr/bin there is only a real binary for gcc, egcs has only
a script with the version-info.
Is there any way to change the default compiler from gcc to egcs or to
toggle which should be use ?
What is the sence of both if there are no info or standard way to use
both ?
In the past I got several probs to compile the kernel or other stuff
with the gcc from Mandrake, my circumvention always was to move to SuSE
6.3 (which use the egcs) and which does the compilation without probs.
Thanks in advance for answers
and don't worry if my questions are too stupid :)
