Name three things you can do in KDE that you cant do in Blackbox, IceWM, or XFCE.
Even without QT
extensions installed. I'm not talking about k-this or k-that. I'm talking about
functions - watching
TV, writing a paper, playing a game, etc. I'm also not substituting Gnome.
Then tell me how much slower KDE is than any of the above.
Then tell me why, in most any KDE app, the help file is empty.
Or maybe you meant that in KDE every possible application is already on the menu,
whether it exists
or not. Or whether you'll ever use it.

Before you can burn data on a CD, you need to create a ISO9660
filesystem of the data you want to burn. I'm not familiar with
gnome-toaster, but I suppose that it was using the program mkisofs to
create the ISO filesystem from the data in your /home directory. What
does 'top' tell you at the command line while gnome-toaster is
running?

This is a good thing provided you have the space for it on your hard
drive and you aren't in a big hurry. By creating the ISO file, you
can mount the data before you even burn it to CD to insure that the
correct data will be copied to disk. If you use mkisofs and cdrecord
from the command line, you can pipe the output of mkisofs directly to
cdrecord without saving the intermediate file to disk. Be aware that
if there is an interruption during the write, you now have a coaster.
There may be an option in gnome-toaster to allow you to write directly
to disk.

I use the command line to burn. It's not hard at all. You just need
to know what the arguments needed are. It's faster, and I can write
my own scripts to do exactly what I want in terms of backups or
music. This is all explained in the CD-Writing HOWTO. I suggest you
read it.

Hi,
When I try to shutdown my computer with the following commands "halt" or
"shutdown -h", my computer reboots instead of shutting down. I can't find
any answers in the man pages, or HOWTO's. I recently reinstalled my redhat
6.1 system
and then it still worked, since then I've been working to get my ISDN card
working, which I got working thanks to the help of several people in the
newsgroups. I also installed a new kernel(2.2.16), I don't know if it has
been happening since then, I just noticed today.
Any help is appreciated, Joris

Run something like 'du -s /usr/* | sort -nr' and you will get a list
like this:
256132 /usr/share
217300 /usr/lib
104808 /usr/doc
77568 /usr/src
71012 /usr/bin
66396 /usr/X11R6
19192 /usr/libexec
13944 /usr/man
11276 /usr/include
5688 /usr/info

408 /usr/dict
252 /usr/i386-redhat-linux
84 /usr/local
36 /usr/games
4 /usr/etc
0 /usr/tmp
If you see something that really stands out as taking up lots of room,
that would be the place to mount it. What you would do is temporarily
mount the drive somewhere, reboot in single mode to be safe, then do a
'cp -aR' of the files from that directory to another. Finally, rename
the old directory and move the mount point of the new partition the
that old directory. Make sure to add the appropriate line in
/etc/fstab and lastly reboot. Make sure to keep a emergency boot
floppy in case of mistakes.

X clients need an X server.
Some apps use other libraries liek SVGAlib, but they're not common.
However you *don't* need a window manager; you could maybe just put
exec netscape
in .xinitrc
- I think this would work, but haven't tried it.

Close what you don't want. When you logout make sure that "Save
Settings" or "Save Configuration" is selected. (That file manager -- gmc
-- also controls the desktop icons.)
: 3. How do I adjust screen resolution (size)?
This is independent of Gnome -- Run Xconfigurator/XF86Setup and enable
the different modes. Or, edit your XF86Config file manually. You should
see (near the bottom, most likely) something like
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
Reorder them as you want.
It will no doubt be different -- I'm on a win95 box at the moment...
: 4. Is is possible to fire up a program that has a gui interface without
: running a gui (ie. startx)?
I've done something like this:
xinit 'PATH-TO-APP' -- :1
Replace PATH-TO-APP with the full path to whatever you want to run.
Those apostrophes aren't the ones on the same key as ~. The :1 is the
display to run on. Unless you have several different X sessions running
at the same time, this should be ok. If you get an error, increase it to
:2, or :3, etc.

Not really, but there are many window managers other than those included

Yes. I have my .tcshrc file check to see if X is running when I start the
terminal. It sets different aliases depending on whether X is running. The
alias for LyX, for example, which is run if X is NOT running is:
xinit /usr/bin/lyx
This starts X and runs lyx under X and nothing else. It has no window
manager (e.g. Enlightenment) and no gui (e.g. Gnome). Giving the name
(must include the path name even if it IS on your path, though) after
xinit will JUST run that programme (will ignore .xinitrc).
Sometimes I just want to run one programme (that needs a graphical
interface) (e.g. abiword, lyx, xmms) and so I have my .tcshrc check:
If I am already running X, don't set the aliases which start up X again
(the xinit part).
If I am NOT running X, set an alias to simplify starting the programme.
If it is a programme that does not end (e.g. xearth) I have to use
ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE to end X windows.
Check the manual page on xinit.

Hm. Looks like all the distros you've tried base on RedHat.
So the error is likely to occur in all of them.
If you can get a SuSE, it might work (different setup tool).
Once I experienced a hanging system during Linux setup,
I had to disable the CPU caches in the BIOS setup for some reason.
Could be as well the boot kernel doesn't like part of your hardware -
candidates here are SCSI adapters, NICs, sound cards etc.
