About installing programs that don't come in the standard Mandrake
installation.
Am I right in thinking that you must install them in root? I did this with
Star Office 5.1, but couldn't find it..check that..I could find it but
couldn't work out how to make it run. I logged in as a user and followed the
instructions in the 'Read Me' file and set up a 'Workstation' installation
and the program then appeared in my menus and I could use it.
Does this happen with EVERY program I want to install? It seems a real waste
of space having to install a program twice (OR, at least a part of it).
When Mandrake does it's 'Standard' installation..I take it all the programs
that appear on your menu's are loaded onto your Hard Disc. How much space
does a standard install take? It seems to include a shed-load of games and
utilities I'd never use in a month of Sundays. What's the simplest way of
getting rid of these to make sure I keep enough space for stuff I will
actually use.
My other question..Is there anywhere I can find out how much space I have
left on my Linux partition (i.e.-like under 'My Computer in W9X)?
Cheers
Andy
