I have always done it with su, never as a real root, and don't have any problems. su or real login has no effect at all in any fashion on your user permissions. In fact, 'su -' is 'just like logging in'. Without the '-' option to su, you miss the user's login scripts, but permissions ar the same. root's login scripts don't change anything at all relative to compiling. So, if there is a problem, look elsewhere. Did you compile qt in one place and then move it? That is the main no no. The main reason for compiling qt as root is so the libs will belong to other that a normal user, improving security if the file permissions are right. I don't know if qt leaves compiled libs in such a way that they cannot be replaced by other than the lib's owners (e.g., read-only for EVERYONE). Packages that have an install step usually do this.

Re: compiling qt3 - what is the difference between logging in as root as sued in?
In fact, you mentioned a possible messup. But, in fact, has anything gone wrong? Umm no. To my knowledge nothing went wrong with my qt3 build and I did move it after I built it. I will have to wait till I get the CVS of kde3 downloaded and compiled to be sure though.

Re: Shut UP! Konqueror
You know, I just realized last night that the configuration piece in KDE Control Center on my box was put there by Caldera, and not part of the KDE packages The only way I figured this out was that while showing a friend how to change CD-automated settings, I clicked KControl -Peripherals - CD-Rom (Autorun) And low-and-behold, the Caldera banner was at the top of the tool... Well, it's always been the little things which made my love COL... It's a shame that I never can be sure if I should be warming up to COL or dumping it... I guess it will have to remain in Limbo until such a time that other distros do things nearly as well or Caldera makes it more painful to use their distro than it would be to use RH (ug!). But anyone who has ever gotten to know COL and any other distros very well at all MUST concede that COL does a lot of the little things right... like Configuring Printing...(KUPS) and Configuring X (XKConfig), and making the browsers work right with their plugins, and a pretty/powerful installer (ok, so I like the video game at the end), and their focus on KDE has made KDE work right (as opposed to other distros who include KDE simply because they are big on choices, and focus their time on Gnome). This stuff is all in addition to the stability of the distros and the fact that you can change stuff in the conf files and their tools don't overwrite it the next time 'round. I'm sorry. I'm as pissed at Caldera as the next guy. They are one of the most annoying companies I deal with, but I have to give credit where credit is due (like giving MicroSuck credit for creating a pretty decent UI, even if they DID change it 5 times since then)... and I'm reminded of these things every time I use another distro.

Re: Adobe Acroread default installs is in Chinese
Don't you think that if there was a problem, as severe as this, with the RPM, that it would have been fixed by now?

Re: Mozilla 1.0
The name came about with the introduction of the Communicator series, IIRC. That was when they started including Collabra (a newsreader that had been a separate product). They used the Messenger name to differentiate Mail from the Collabra Newsreader. Of course, all that code got chucked, so the name is really anachronistic.

Adobe Acroread default installs is in Chinese --- Solution
Like so many other things in life, the problem turned out to be the operator, not the system. The problem arose from the way the fonts were set under KDE. Using the Control Center, I tried resetting everything to the default. This did not work, but after I reset the Look Feel - fonts to default and then changed the character set to iso8859-1, and Look Feel - Style - Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps, it apparently cleared something and Acrobat works as it should. BTW, I do not use anti-aliasing. I have no idea where the system decided to use the Japanese character set, but I found it under my Konsole font settings. This, along with the fact that Acroread would run in English if I logged as root, but gave an error message Warning: charset of fontList (ISO8859-15) does not match locale (ISO8859-1) was my clue that something somewhere in the KDE settings were awry. I have no idea how it got this way, for I have never messed with the font character sets at all, other than to change the desktop background to white and make the icon fonts a little larger. It would appear that this is one of those cases where the computer set itself up without the operator's help, and led to another several hours wasted playing with the computer g. To those of you who took time to answer, thanx. BOF bof wrote: I posted this on the Adobe site, but have not gotten an answer.

Re: This hardware works...
On Thursday 06 June 2002 11:59 pm, Bruce Marshall enshrined in prose: Could you clarify a bit on what you did above??

Re: Adobe Acroread default installs is in Chinese
I just installed version 5.0 on my caldera 2.4 boxes. Installed without trouble, etc. I won't try it on my RH 7.1 box. That is a weak performer. Which web site did you get yours from? Mine came form Adobe. There are a lot of web sites which let you download acrobat. You might not have gotten a good copy. (And how do you know these things are full of viri?)

Those missing gigs on my hard drive
I finally found out where my hard drive memory was going to on my root drive /. (Or, I may have rediscovered where those missing bytes are. Ain't it nice to mature.) I have a root hard drive with about 3 gigs of space on it. It got filled up even though I have moved almost everything off it. Very puzzling. Turns out, I have a mnt point for a backupdrive, /mnt/hdc1, on the root drive. This backup is automatic. If the backup drive isn't mounted, the backup program, cp -au, just merrily makes a directory /mnt/hdc1 on my root drive /, and writes to it, thus filling up the / drive eventually. This is a tough thing to find out because if you mount the backup drive, which is the default configuration, you don't see the extra directory /mnt/hdc1. Well, lucky I usually keep an extra OS on my system, so I can boot into it and play around with my usual / directory. (Now, where will I use that 80 gig drive I just bought to replace my old defective hard drive.)

An oddity with OpenOffice1.0.0
I've encountered one rather unusual thing when using Openoffice. I seem to be unable to generate any double quotes (without resorting to special characters) and end up with a question mark instead. I have no such problem when using other applications. I'm presuming that this is an indication of some sort of incorrect locality setting, but I've looked through all the options that I could find and have not yet run across anything that might correct this. Has anyone encountered anything similar?

Re: Open source aides terrorists
good point. that's how mutation and evolution in biology works. another year. Proprietary or open source if there's an open port a hacker will find his/her way in. At least with open source, there are multiple distros and releases.
