and, yes, I tried to read/find documentation first...:-) A. I have an ADB Kensington Turbo Mouse and I see Kensington does not have Linux drivers for Mouse Works. This is a two button trackball mouse and I cannot convince Control Center there is a second button--YDL thinks it is just a one button Mac mouse. So how does one emulate the right button? I tried holding down the Shift or Control or Option or Apple key while clicking the right button to no avail. I know it's a "D'oh!" but I'm not there yet...
B. I've installed YDL 2.2 on a Umax C600 with a Sonnet G3 400 MHz L2 upgrade card. This is an Alchemy based motherboard of the Performa 6400/6500 vintage which means the original CPU is still installed and is actually used in the initial boot process before an extension is loaded enabling the G3 and backside cache. If (and a big *if*) I get the Sonnet L2 enabler extension to load before BootX, would I have G3 acceleration in Linux? C. Lastly, the normal user acc't created at installation does not have sudo permissions. I've rooted, so to speak, around in the Control Center for user administration while logged in as root. I did find one panel that seemed to fit the bill and a huge list of policies and groups, some seemingly overlapping, was presented to me. I remember checking RPM, adm, floppy, and a couple others but superuser or su or other obvious abbrev was not there. What combination of groups/policies would allow me to sudo? D. One other lastly, I'd like to run the distributed.net client as a startup item. Where should I put either the d.net files or alias? Additionally, I created a folder in my Home directory with the d.net stuff and when I clicked on the app in KDE, nothing happened so I opened a terminal window and did the ./dnetc command. I thought I could just type dnetc and the app would launch. Again, do I need to relocate the folder/files somewhere else? This is my first experience installing and administering a *NIX--I've only very loosely had exposure on a college campus with Unix just as a terminal user. Maybe a couple here know me from the Supermacs list. I'll do my best not to annoy or irritate the longtime Unix veterans with two year old toddler questions while I'm learning how to walk and talk this new language.
