hi,
Im using 10.2 as well, (gnome)and have the option to choose when i
click logout.... then options are "logout", "shutdown", "restart"
or suspend".......
then after i logout when on the "login" blue screen in the bottom
left corner of the screen there are 2 options, "shutdown" and
"restart". As far as I know these are the default settings, as i
have not changed a thing on this install.
you dont have any choices like this?
Sorry for the confusion. I was venting at the time. Although I'm more
upset right now because I'm now recovering my XP installation. :-( I
was referring to Mandriva distro that didn't have these options. Soon
as I get my XP installation up and running again, I will be deleting
the Linux partitions and reclaim the real estate. I keep trying to
give Linux a chance and everytime I do, I usually regret it. Of all
the distros, SuSe has come the closest thing that might make me ease
away from Windows, but there's just too many things I'm into right now
that I can't justify moving to Linux full time.
I found that some avi's work, some don't. Then there's the mp3 thing
unless you use Real POS (player) that program doesn't see the light of
day on Windows, and it's the one SuSe chooses? At least on Windows
there's Real Alternate Player. Small footprint and plays all RA/RM
files. :-) Anyway, thanks for the reply.
My advice is to go to:
http://www.mepis.org/
Download Beta4 of SimplyMEPIS-32 and all your troubles will be over.
Download it at :
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/testing
and select: SimplyMEPIS-CD_6.0-4-beta4_i386.iso
<ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/testing/SimplyMEPIS-CD_6.0-4-beta4_i386.iso>
Burn the iso image using k3b in linux or in windows
using nero.
This is a live cd so you can run linux without installing on your hard
drive.
You can also install it on your hard drive.
Don't give up on linux.
