Yes. It's simply a case of altering the script that starts KDE (anybody
know what this is?) and change the file manager from KFM to another file
manager. I guess GMC (Gnome Midnight Commander) would be a good
alternative.

When I want to play lsdoom, I have to log on as root, as the svgalib

Okay, no, but Linux is a Unix clone, so it is quite different to
Microsoft systems. Say if you need a system to play some games
now and then, to access the Internet here and there and to do
the usual stuff like writing to the tax office once a year .. no,
just skip it.
>I can�t do programmed difficult software.
Not quite sure, what you mean but what is difficult really depends.
I've no problems here, but at the same time once had to play with
Visual C++ .. 15 minutes of their IDE was enough to drive me crazy.
>So I need to know if Linux is easy to use?
See above, but as a pure consumer system, no .. overkill.
>Can I still use my win98 software and other software for window98 ?
You can use both, going the dual boot path or at the same time,
using VMware. Rumours are it is pretty good, but I cannot tell as
this is a pure system. VMware create an environment in which one
can run Windows, in short a virtual machine.

This doesn't work for all distros--SuSE *ALWAYS* asks for the root
password when entering single-user mode. If RedHat doesn't do this, then
maybe RedHat needs to rethink a few things regarding security.
I prefer to dispense solutions that are distro-independent, even if they
are a little more complex than alternatives. Being tied to one distro's
peculiarities is a Bad Thing in most cases.

hi .
if u use LILO , and u are lucky u do this:
1)
on boot when lilo prompt appears you choose your boot type and add to the name
"-s" or "single"
=================================///
example: suppose your linux has the name "linux" in lilo, then when u see the
prompt:
"LILO boot:"
type: "linux -s" or "linux single"
===================================\\\
in the best case (if u didn't mess with this feature before:-)
you will be asked of new root password
2) remember your new password
3) read man lilo /or other lilo documentation on
how to turn this "-s" option off
Good Luck.

Yes it is the JetDirect card, one of their slightly annoying features.
You have to telnet to the card's IP address, ask for help (type ?),

Depending on how you have your /etc/inittab set up
ctrl-alt-del

General answer: Look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help and
do a text search for the names, e.g. CONFIG_PACKET. This is the help
text displayed by the kernel configurator, and it will tell you if
the thing can be built as a module. If so, it will tell you the exact name
of the module file.
Specific answer: looks like CONFIG_PACKET can be a module (af_packet.o),
but CONFIG_FILTER can not.

Actually, all the original files DO exist. Nothing is disappearing from
the source directory and all files are available (not corrupt). It is
only tar that seems to be having the problem.
Also, I've already performed cp -a and did a manual review of one of the
directories that tar was having problems with. EVERY file copied
perfectly. I wasn't aware of "diff" so I'll try that for a complete
check--but I'm willing to bet everything will be as it should. If not,
I'll post what I found.
Lastly, I did perform an e2fsck some short time ago. Turned out to be a
lot more difficult than I expected. Had to create a special boot disk,
a rescue disk, etc. before I could get Linux to load without mounting
/. In any case, I did eventually run the check and everything was
"clear".

Since I just copied all original files to a backup drive and used -diff
-r to compare directories and found NO missing files, my faith in tar
has pretty much been shattered. I'll give your suggestion a try, if
there's a way to verify. If not, I may just as well use cp. At least
cp hasn't ever failed me (yet)!

You are likely using ipchains or IP Masquerade, so you need to load the
ip_masq_ftp module. Related modules for other masq things are in the ipv4
directory under your /lib/modules. Didn't we just answer this question

I've continued to use a 2.0.38 kernel since everything I have works,
and does what I need. But I've installed RH 6.0 and 6.1 just to
check it out, and noticed some unusual behavior compared to 2.0.x
kernel, and other Unixes I've used.
After login, the login process does not "disappear", which is what I'm
used to--it appears to continue to run. Likewise, the login shell does
not get adopted by the init process, but rather stays a child of the
login process (I suppose in this case, it's a good thing the login
process doesn't terminate). Finally, when I run the ps command,
I see a child shell being spawned as a sibling of the ps command, and
even more strangely, it's named "-bash", which should be the name of a
login shell. Where is this phantom shell coming from?

[Snip...]
Did you happen to configure a soundcard also, by chance?
I successfully installed an ISA 3C509 ethernet card under TL 4.0 and even
had it talking to my LAN. Then had the "SIOCCADRT" meltdown after running
turbosoundcfg and the 3C509 could not be fixed after that, even after the
turbopnpcfg agreed everybody in IRQ land was hunkydory. Workaround was to
reinstall and just forgo sound for the time...
