Hi,
I'm currently compiling the latest garnome (gnome2 beta3) and was
wondering if anyone could give a tip on getting it integrated into kdm.
(or how to start it in general)
here's what the garnome site (http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/) says
about starting garnome:

Hi Kyle,
Thank you for your help. I got a solution by myself too in this way,

Greetings,
If I used webmin to add a user, the next time msec runs it complains:
msec: unable to parse chage output
I took a look at why this happens and found a fix, which is shown
below. This fix has already made it into cooker. Any chance of an 8.2 update?
Thanks.

Frederic,
I just had problems with the installation because the XFree86-libs
wasn't installed before, but now is runing like a charm. I have a
Pentium III 800 with 256Mb Ram, a Voodoo3 3000 and a CreativeLab 128 PCI
(AC97 on board is dissabled).

I have used Linux in the past and because of its XFS support, I want to give
Mandrake a try. In particular, I am interested in installing on a machine

and if so, any notable problems?

There needs to be an intelligent check on the size of the partitions. If
"/" is too small, say under 80 MBytes, you will get strange errors down
the road when packages start loading. Packages

I have upgraded my standard Mandrake 8.1 system from kernel 2.4.8 to

I was using the "chips" drive with XFree 4.x in mandrake 8.2. I was
experiencing severe X lockups (screen and keyboard).
After installing the FBDev rpm, I simply changed the driver from "chips" to
up and running...thank god!

One other point to make. There are also many wierdisms that are caused
by something professional techs call "static wounding." This occurs
when a sensitive high density IC chip (or a single discrete transistor
for that matter) passes through a static field. It also occurs when a
