The X functionality is still totally broken when i change hostnames (when swtiching between dhcp/nonm-dhcp networks). quiock solution to this oif course was to set dhcp not to modify the hostname :( 3. I click on a program, say gaim, thundfrbird, firefox, k3b, etc etc. and it just wont start. well, mouse hourglass shows busy, but stops after a few seconds. cure.. manually have to export the X+ display! 4. a few kernel modules were broken, but .. well, this is expected (though not desirable) huh list is endless Mark!! rgds ernest _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/
