Hi. I use RH 7.0. When I want to switch off my PC if I use shutdown or
halt the system stops but doesn't switch off. While if I use 'Halt
System' at login time (runlevel 5) the PC really switches off. Does
anybody know why?
Thanks.

Yes a lot faster :) I'm a Linux fan, I even go to my local LUGs on
occasions (sad I know). It's fair to say that Linux is coming on as a
desktop OS but at the moment there is nothing to compare with Windows 2000 &
IE. A bold statement, but I use SuSE with Netscape 4.7x, 6, and even
Konqueror. I must be downloading the wrong version of Mozilla or something
because it spends most of it's time disk thrashing :)
> Tried konqueror?
Konqueror is nice and small, but I have problems with Java (too lazy to try
and set it up right). And some web pages don't fully render.
I think somebody in the thread mentions that an OS shouldn't try and be
everything. He does games/multi-media and web under Win and programming
under Linux. Both of these are standard desktop PC tasks, this isn't quite
a server/client situation. Ok he does go on to mention that he uses Linux
for web servers etc. I don't see why Linux can't be a desktop environment
any less so that 2000. The OS is what the OS is, it's the applications
developed by teams that really determine how the OS is used, at least in
this case.
For myself Linux has grown with version to version from a work based server
to a desktop environment at home. Why? Because of KDE2, Netscape 6, Star
Office, Loki's games. It's a shame that non of them can quite match the
speed and/or reliability of their Windows counterparts. KDE lacks the full
integration with applications that Windows X has, Netscape 6 I can't comment
on, Star Office takes up too much memory (100MB RAM footprint for a word
processor what the hell is that about?), and Loki use the Mesa libraries
which arn't quite as well optimised as Windows equivalent (understandably
given the situation).
If I couldn't lay my hands on most Microsoft software then Linux for �40 all
inc would still do the job well enough. I use Linux because I enjoy the
challenge, but when I really need to get something done quick and easy, and
share with others then I revert back to Windows 9x/00 where life is so much
simpler. However here at work we use several Linux servers all of which run
well giving me extra time to check out the latest Userfriendly and Dilbert
strips.
I never complain about any Linux software because all is free, written by
dedicated teams and individuals infinitely more talented than myself. It's
understandable that it'll never run quite as fast with an easy to use GUI or
even as reliable (applications) as software written by teams hundred if not
thousand strong teams of highly paid professional programmers. I think all
credit has to be given for Linux and it's apps getting this far.
I don't think you should try to convert Windows users to Linux. They should
be left to just fall in when they are ready, that way they'll have the
enthusiasm and knowledge to read the HOWTO's and spend hours if not days
trying to do what Windows can in a few minutes :)

What is all this about speed? A browser doesn't take time! It has ages
to wait for packets from the net (some 10ths of seconds) and then
if it needs to process anything it takes microseconds. What are you
people talking about? I use lynx normally, because I prefer to avoid
silly images, but I see no difference in speed against netscape when
I use it - nor would I expect to. The processing time is relatively
trivial. Netscape never maxes out the cpu - or even 10% of it!

Try setting up the X session manually with xf86config and not using
Xconfigurator. You will have to answer questions about your system as you
go. I have found that using the text-based configuratino utility often
results in better XF86Config files actually work.

Try doing a insmod sr_mod instead.

After two packages of cigarettes, many bottles of beer and no progress I
have to to scream for help. I try to compile a new Kernel (2.4.1) and
there seems to be no way to get it to an acceptable size. The biggest I
got was about 2.2 MB the smallest about 1.4 MB
I need Samba, vfat (for Fat32), TCP/IP, PPP, a running X-Server,
loopback-devices and my CS4232 ISA-PNP-Sound card (with OPL3 I think).
I've no SCSI, all drives are IDE/ATAPIs. There's also a
standard-no-name-isa-modem (non-PNP) and a QIC-80 Tape drive I want to
use (The modem is a must). The rest is as usual (Floppy, ...)
I'd like to have the matrox acceleration for my mystique, the support
of the Pentium/MMX and Fat16 support. This should be all now.
I'll attach my .config so you probably can tell me what's wrong.
If you have a .config, please send it to me.
Thank you very much...

tar -Zxvf file.tar.Z
but then, if you bothered to read the tar --help page, or the man/info page,
you'd know that.

su changes user, and only user.
su - builds up the users environment (such as roots $PATH) and takes him
$HOME.

Actually, you might simply try
xrdb -remove
and see if your problems go away. If not, they are not xrdb-related,
and you should rather look where appres gets it information from.

guess what, you'll probably have to re-register and my bet it that will
require an additional fee.
