I'm running it on Xscreensaver 3.17-4. From your prompt,
type xscreensaver and click on the prefs button on the
screen that comes up. You will see a huge list of
screensavers. In there is xmatrix which is the xscreensaver
for matrix. I opened up my xscreensaver file, which is
located in /root or /root/'whatever user you are' and
deleted all of the other screensaver files except
xmatrix because xscreensaver runs all of those
screensavers in arandom fashion. Resave this file
and remember to keep a copy of the old file incase
you want to change to another screensaver. This
is the only way I know of how to get xscreensaver
to run just the screensaver you want. There may
be a better way and if anyone knows please let
me know.
As for Mandrake 6.5, If you want to waste your money
go ahead and but it. I would recommend downloading
6.1 since that is what MacMillan 6.5 really is and
burning it to a CD. Or buy the CD over the net for
dirt cheap. Your money, your choice. I know kmatrix.kss
is there because I've ran it.
Good Luck.
