firefox seems to have a problem with pricewatch pages. For example, if
I navigate to http://www.pricewatch.com/gallery/monitors/lcd_24in, I
have a header panel, and a brands/stores panel, but no list of 24" LCD
monitors. Right clicking and selecting "save page as" lets me save the
page as lcd_24i
For no particular reason, I decided to remove all my firefox addons.
Problem solved!

Recently noticed: error popup when starting firefox, gnumeric, archive
manager, etc:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information
for {program}. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.
The details window says (in all cases):

I just retired my Viewsonic 19" CRT in favor of a Viewsonic VX2433WM.
Looking in Xorg.0.log it's obviously recognized (as the following lines
indicate):

G'day,
I'm looking for a disassembler so that I can see the underlying
assembly code in a variety of files, for example elf executables, DOS
executables, binary files (such as the master boot record (MBR)), etc.
Portage doesn't seem to include any, leastways eix hasn't revealed any
to me.

As reported by hwinfo they are:
Serial Port 0: 0x3f8
Serial Port 1: 0x2f8

I've been experimenting with paludis for the last month or two to
compare it with emerge. For my periodic "update world" runs the two
programs seem functionally comparable. Paludis is, however, more
verbose and I'm not liking that aspect.
My typical emerge command is "emerge -auDtqv world" and p

As a "cleanup" test, I've run "emerge --depclean" and "revdep-rebuild".
"emerge --depclean" removed approx 85 files, which seemed reasonable.
"revdep-rebuild" then rebuilt 7 or 8 packages -- also reasonable.
When I run the commands again, "emerge --depclean" removes the packages
that "revdep-reb

G'day,
I'm now running xorg-1.5.3 and emacs no longer works! I've got
emacs-22.3.1 installed. Normally I can start it from the Gnome start
menu or from a gnome terminal. Now it seems that nothing happens when
I start it from the start menu. When I start it from a gnome terminal,
emacs reports

Hi Kevin,
This morning I'm experimenting with xorg.conf (with kernels 2.6.28-r5
and 2.6.29-r4 and with ati-drivers-8.552-r2) and have seen a variety of
problems.
One detail I've noted is that files in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers
matching "*.so" seem to be auto-loaded as X starts up. If you h
My workstation is an AMD64 and I want to build a 486 kernel. I've
tried oldconfig, menuconfig, and xconfig and they all change
the .config from X86_32 to X86_64. How do I stop this behavior?
FWIW, below is a partial diff between the 486 .config and the new
config.
Thanks.

Greetings,
For a work related project I've got a DOS program (Borland C++ with
graphics library) that I want to run under FreeDOS, DOSEMU, and Linux.
The graphics are pretty simple - lines, bars, and an alphabetic font.
When I start DOSEMU from a Gnome terminal window, the DOS program
