You allready got the solutions.
Just wanted to add:
If you need to reinstall windows, use SETUP/IR to prevent Windows from writing to
the MBR, so LILO will stay intact.

I read that fvwm2 is not KDE/Gnome compliant and that it probably never
will be. Perhaps I saw it on fvwm.org? But, most apps work fine, some crash
when you try to open files, eg. kiconedit... No drag&drop... you can load the
panels for each though and they seem to work fine, same with the
filemanager/desktop icons.
About the compliance, if I understand correctly there is a whole set of
instructions that KDE and Gnome need in addition to the standard window
manager calls, ie for drag&drop or whatever...

Interesting point, except that ... I am using EXACTLY the same release of
Netscape on another Linux machine (running an older RedHat distribution), and
it works FINE. I actually copied the tar file off the older machine and
reinstalled it on the laptop.
My best guess so far is that it is somehow related to creating and
destroying windows and responding to the "DONE" button, but it could be a
host of other things. I haven't looked into possible differences in things
like minor updates in the glibc libraries.
(The WORST part about this is, I *thought* it was working before, and
something I did in the past week or two broke it. I may get to the point of
saving my data and trying a clean install from scratch. That way, I should
be able to retrace my footsteps and figure out what caused it to break.
That's not likely to happen in the next few days though... :-/)

Suggestion: If you can use <Ctrl><Alt><Del>, then at least your keyboard
isn't dead. It's usually a better idea to try <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace> first
to kill the X server off rather than bringing the entire system down.

Check your network, and the page you use as your Netscape "Home" page.
I've seen Netscape hang up when it is trying to get to the network and it is
either not hooked up, or is running very slowly for some reason...
Just a thought.

Its not so much a conspiracy against Linux. But this is for their

I have a Compaq Presario 5152, it's a year old, but it works just fine
with Linux. Debian/GNU linux, Mandrake Linux, Storm Linux, and
TurboLinux. Maybe they changed since my compaq was made, but you are

Subject: Question about Gnome editors
Date: Mon, 01 May 2000 23:03:58 GMT
Why are Gnome editors so slow? I've tried gEdit and GXEdit, and in both of
them, I can type out a full paragraph before either of them displays a full
sentence. Is there some way to edit the buffer sizes in these? Maybe a
config file to edit? Can't seem to find one, and there are no options in the
menus.
Is there another Gnome editor that's nicer? I'm looking for something that's
simple and easy-to-use, so please don't recommend vi or emacs, I'm a newbie
and am still learning how to use those. :-)
Thanks in advance,
Bracy

I quote from the Gnome faq:
=====
There are many window managers out there, and GNOME should work well with
all of them. There are a few
GNOME features (such as session management, and the GNOME pager), that
won't work with all of them. For best
results, go with a GNOME-compliant window manager. The most compliant are
currently Enlightenment, Sawmill,
Window Maker, and IceWM, with FVWM, SCWM, AfterStep and QVWM putting
finishing touches on GNOME-compliance as we speak.
======
So it seems that things should get fine, sooner or later, for gnome.
Yet, I looked carefully at fvwm.org and I couldn't find any news about
that.
And kde?

It means that bootup did not find modules.dep in that directory. I don't
understand your directory, either. /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/modules.dep is
the usual one.
Either way you are going to have to correct the directory, by renaming it
or editing your init files.

Another option is to use the hfsutils package, which works much like the
mtools package for accessing FAT floppies. There's a GUI front-end
included in hfsutils, though, so you can do transfers in a point-and-click
way (much as with many GUI FTP clients). This may be easier than
recompiling the Linux kernel if this is a one-time affair. If you have a
regular need for HFS access, though, especially if you want to directly
access HFS disks from Linux programs, you'd do well to look into the
kernel driver. Of course, if your kernel already has the HFS driver, it's
easier to use it.

I've run into the same problem, although I'm using tail indirectly,
through the swatch utility, to snatch important log messages and put them
into a file that's periodically e-mailed to me. I never discovered what
the problem was, but it was NOT, as another poster suggested, that the
"tailed" file was being moved during log rotation. My solution was to
include in the log rotation script a killing of the tail and swatch
processes and a re-starting of them. For a time I had a cron job that did
this daily, but that turned out to be excessive; once a week seems to do
the trick.

The bios cannot see harddisk larger than 8GB. I have to use a disk

computer.
I also have to wire it as a 2G harddisk because the Compaq would report

My bios can enable or disable floppy disk access.
