Ok, so now I'm showing my intelligence level. I only been using Mandrake/MDV for 4 years... What's xcfe? and how do I get into it? It is a window manager (see www.xfce.org). I used it for a long time and liked it. If you install it from RPM's there is a chance that you can activate it

[newbie] 2007 - 3D Desktop is not available

Hi, I just installed 2007 Free from the DVD with all packages offered by default on a clean machine. Everything is OK, but 3D destktop is not available, MCC says not supported on this system. What is wrong? Hardware is: - NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 400 - AMD SEMPRON 2800+ - 512M RAM Same result

Re: [newbie] 2007 - 3D Desktop is not available

i have basically the same system and i get the same message. i also installed 2007 on a higher-end system at work and 3d did work (though it handles the desktop in some rather unintuitive ways - at least to me), so it appears these systems are old/underpowered enough that 3d decided it would be

Re: [newbie] 2007, Konqueror, Plugins

from what i've seen in the past, your clean install simply overwrote your java and flash installations (this is assuming they were on partitions that were reformatted when you did your install. redownload (if necessary) and reinstall them and they should once again be available to those programs

[newbie] KDE Multiple Desktop or Cube access

Hi all, Following a suggestion regarding a 2007 freeze while using Gnome, I am currently using KDE, but can't see how to have more than one desktop. The multiple desktop panel applet ignores requests to add more desktops (I'm using the 3D desktop and I guess compiz is preventing it) and I

[newbie] RPMDrake in 2007 Official.

I've been trying the 4CD version of 2007 Official and think it's an excellent version. Congratulations to all who have worked on it. However, I miss the flexibility of the old RPMDrake GUI. I am not too keen on the new one which just shows packages in groups. So I installed the 'old_rpmdrake'
