I get anywhere from 50 - 100+ emails a day from this forum.
So in an effort to NOT bombard everyone with redundancy I've stock piled
some questions. I'm running RH6.x on a 400 Intel machine. My desktop is
set up for Enlightenment.
1. How does one search the archives? I might find answers there and
spare the severs some work. I know from reading all the posts that a
lot of questions get asked over and over.
2. With that said; How do I get X to mount the CD and the floppy when it
starts or when bash starts? Both would be great, assuming there is a
difference.
3. I don't have a modem operating yet, thus no outside connection. The
last couple of times I booted the machine and logged in as root, it said
"You've got mail"
What's that about? How do I check it? Where'd it come from?
4. I have one slot left on my board that is NOT PCI. I want to install a
modem and later a SCSI card. Which one can be PCI to avoid the most
trouble?
5. Modems / RP3? I went to the RedHat site and read (and printed) a
bunch of pages from the manual. The manual was very plain about starting
RP3 and using it to connect, the only thing is when I filter down
through the menus its not there.
The manual says Menu=>Panel=>Add Applet=>Network=>RH PPP Dialer.
Apparently its not installed. How do I install it? And /or is that the
best method to get started installing a modem?
6. There seem to be several media players installed.
KDE(menu)=>Multimedia=>CD player is the only one that works. The others
say no CD or invalid media and some other negative replies. Is it just a
setup problem or an Xconfig problem?
7. When X is loading the mouse cursor appears as an X as normal. After
its running the pointer switches between the arrow and the X. Usually
its an arrow in a window and an X on the desktop. It used to switch
between a left and right arrow but only when I clicked it. How do I
change this back?
8. When I open a window in X the only option (as far as sizing) is the X
in the upper right corner. There used to be a (-) Minimize (half
block)Maximize option. What changed that made them go away.
9. Finally How do you put Icons (shortcuts) on the desktop?
Judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.
Thanks Arnie
