Wine is like a software adaptor between
the linux system and a windows application
so that the windows app can properly run
on a linux filesystem, but it is not finished
yet and does not always work,
the command would be for example---
wine windowsappname.exe
so you put the wine in front of the
windows app name when you try to run it,
oh and this has to be done at commandline,
click on the little black box looking thing
at the bottom of your screen there should be
a panel, this is more often referred to as the
K-Panel.
To enter your settings into K-Mail,
first click on File which is located at the
upper right corner of your main K-mail window.
Afterwhich click on Settings which should
pop up a window that says settings at the top.
Then click on the Network tab at the top.
then almost down to the bottom there
is a rectangle Add button click this
once and another little square should
pop up that says Select Account.
Click in the Pop3 hole and
make a dot in it by clicking
in there, then click the
rectangular OK button.
Afterwhich another window
that says Configure Account
should pop up and it should
give you the spaces in which
to enter the Name of the
account such as your ISP
or what ever you want to
call it, your login name
to your isp's e mail (your email box)
your Password for it,
The Host, and this is they key
thing that your looking for,
say the name of your isp
is www.internet.com
lets put pop.internet.com
in where host is, that is
if thats the name of your
isp, which I don't know,
but you will get the idea.
leave the Port space alone
unless your isp tells you
that they use another Port
other than 110
then click the little tiny
boxes to put a tick (check)
mark in the ones you want to
use like Store POP password
in config file, this is
if you dont want to keep
typing in your password
every time you check your
e mail.
then usually leave the
delete mail from server
checked unless you want alot
of mail to build up on your
isp's mail server.
Then click the rectangle OK,
and click the last rectangle OK
and you should be all set up.
As for text mode, you need to either
do a control+alt+F1 for full text screen mode,
or click the little black box on your K-panel for
a virtual terminal, if you want Linux to always
boot into text mode, you need to
locate a file called inittab under the
directory /etc
the contents of this file in /etc/inittab look
something like this:
#
# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:
# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6
# Things to run in every runlevel.
ud::once:/sbin/update
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left. Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does, of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down"
# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled"
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
# xdm is now a separate service
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
Don't be afraid of this file, but do be careful with it.
Notice that the part of this file that says this:
*************************************************************
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# ___________________________
id:5:initdefault: <----------Look here, change that 5 into a 3
# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6
*************************************************************
change that 5 into a 3 and then save,
oh and you must be logged in as the root user,
so log in as root and put in your password for root.
and thats about it for now,
if you need any more info,
just mail me on the list here.
Hope this has helped.
