>F.
since posting the above message, I've made some progress ('regress'?)
since I've backed out of most of the muck left over from the abortive KDE2
install, but when I try to load KDE, I get error messages (in
.xsession-errors) about kcontrol and about not loading a bunch of files
(including kfm, kpanel, krootwm, etc.).
I replaced kcontrol with the version from Mandrake 7.0, not a good
solution but the best I could come up with. I'm still stuck with the
errors and I can't get into KDE. I think I've still got some munged DLL's.
(My cleansing operations via ldconfig were helpful but not enough.)
I can get into gnome (as root I'm configured as gnome anyway but I'm
talking about my user setup where I want to be KDE) but I can't figure the
magic to get back to KDE.
Again, I would in general prefer to go to KDE-2.1.1 but I'd settle right
now for KDE-1.9.17 (Mandrake 7.2). I'm learning a lot (sheesh, it's a
jungle out there in those directories!) but I'm facing some deadlines and
need to get back to my regular business, however amusing this is.
So:
(a) tips on how to repair my KDE-1.9.17?
(b) tips on how to proceed to KDE-2.1.1?
I'm grateful in advance. I'm ready to provide more info, just not sure
right now what's relevant.

If you have an Acer 40X cd-rom and you used a burnt copy of 7.1 you may
have to try the hard drive install method. there may be other CD-ROM's
with this problem too. I happen to know this particular model, 640A-272
didn't read two different set of ISO copies in three different PC's. The
install ran just fine from a different CD-ROM.

My semi-uneducated (I'm no kernel hacker) guess would be that the raid

debugging turned on? I've noticed on our raid PC's that if we have to
shutdown unexpectedly that soemtime later a message will appear on the
console.
raid5. resync finished.
or something similar... It could take quite some time to finish...

Linux does have code to make the CPU hlt when it is idle... If you've
recompiled, look at the general options of the kernel menu and find the
QPM bios support secion. There should be an item "Make CPU IDLE calls
when idle"
That should do the trick...
Of course, you may have more processes running in linux than in windows
that would prevent the cpu from staying idle long. :)

Your problem could be RAM based, try running a memory test program.
However I have had similar problems which were caused by a kernel bug.
Upgrading to a more recent kernel eliminated the errors.

Sun does _not_ sell compilers for Linux [well, aside from Java
stuff...].
I find it entirely remarkable that you'd have software "tested on
Linux" which _can't_ compile using gcc/g++, as the GCC family is
_mandatory_ if only as being the only compilers that can compile Linux
itself.
But there are several sources of other compilers:
-> Comeau Computing sells a C++ compiler that is based on cfront.
Note that it generates C code, and uses GCC to compile that, so
if GCC is for some bizarre reason not usable, it's no solution.
-> KAI also sells a C++ compiler; similar model to Comeau's. Again,
if GCC is problematic, KAI may be unusable.
-> Digital/Compaq has released a version of their Alpha C and C++
compilers for Linux; apparently their code generator is a _lot_
more efficient than GCC's.
-> The Portland Group has a set of compilers designed for parallel
computing. Probably available on IA-32; not necessarily usable
on other platforms. [You haven't indicated what platform you're
using.]
-> On some platforms, you may be able to use LCC, a free C compiler
written using literate programming techniques. Not as heavily
tuned as GCC, but probably easier to read. Not a C++ compiler.
-> You might look for the TENDRA C compiler. It has been ignored for
several years so, it's not obvious it'll work easily.

At work, I religiously use rpm (except for the kernel) because in that
way I can easily figure out which file belongs to which package and
can easily uninstall stuff. If I need to modify the source, then I
download the src.rpm, modify the source, recreate a new binary rpm,
and install that.
But at home I just installed Rock Linux which is, well, not something
like rpm. It is ok to screw up my machine at home but not at work.

Hmmm. Maybe restoring an old backup? Or a script recreates the symlinks?

Quite sure. It's about a function which is defined twice, but it tends to be
a different one in a different file which throws the error each time...
The new gcc and glibc aren't quite stable yet obviously...

I have done what you spoke of above. I start up in terminal mode, then do
startx and the screen clears, then nothing. Just a blank black screen!

If this is a multiuser system, that's a Bad Idea. FAT32 has no concept
of users or groups. When mounted under Linux, you can map ownership to
one user/group combo. But that means if it's visible to one user/group,
it's visible to everbody in that user/group. Even on a single user
system, I would make a smallish ext2 /home, and mount the fat32
drive as /data or something. I want my user files protected from Windows.
All that being said, look at the umask, uid, and gid options for fat (and
vfat) on the mount man page.

Subject: Star Office on Linux discussion?
Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 07:57:56 -0700
Hi:
I have used Applixware for a long time, which I like but I don't want to
pay for an upgrade if Star Office is free, and Applix is a little too
weak on features.
So I am looking for some usenet, mailing list, or other forum to discuss
using Star Office. I have looked at starnews.sun.com, but there is very
little traffic there, considering what I assume to be the user base of
Star Office. Also, they have groups for every little subcategory, which
splits traffic up to much, that I think it reduces the effectiveness of
the forum.
And ideas appreciated.
Thanks.
