It's just that from time to time these scripts are started when I wouldn't have started them. In this case there shpuld be either a way to pause or snooze a script, or this scripts should behave nice. I command (or button if You like) to snooze (e.g. pause for about an hour) a script would be best.

[Cooker] gcc3: Internal compiler error
Hy, I tried to compile MPlayer with the new gcc3.0-3.0.1-0.2mdk.i586.rpm and got back an internal compiler error. The problem is unknown to the MPlayer people. But there was a suggestion: could it be that gcc3 was compiled with the gcc-2.96? make -C loader make[1]: Wechsel in das Verzeichnis Verzeichnis »/home/alex/Programme/MPlayer-20010805/loader« gcc -I. -I.. -O4 -march=k6 -mcpu=k6 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/local/include -Wmissing-prototypes -Wimplicit-function-declaration -fno-omit-frame-pointer -DWIN32_PATH=\"/usr/lib/win32\" -D__WINE__ -Ddbg_printf=__vprintf -DTRACE=__vprintf -c win32.c win32.c:1115:2: warning: #warning FIXME win32.c: In function `expIsBadWritePtr': win32.c:2846: Unrecognizable insn: (insn 87 62 88 (parallel[ (set (reg/v:SI 3 ebx [44]) (const_int 0 [0x0])) (clobber (reg:CC 17 flags)) ] ) -1 (nil) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:CC 17 flags) (nil))) win32.c:2846: Internal compiler error in extract_insn, at recog.c:2218 Alexander Werth

Or use the gdm-2.2.3-1.i386.rpm package from ftp://ftp.gnome.com/pub/GNOME/stable/redhat/i386/gdm/ That solved even my problem with gdm when it couldn't reconnect to the X-Server after I exited my gnome-enlightenment session.

It should be at least two times the amount of ram. 30-50 percent kapm idle is perfectly normal. What do You mean by Your computer freezes and top is running ? Is it probably just X that freezes? Are there any apm options activated in X? Otherwise if ram and swap is ok and You do have enough ram for the system at all then this seams to be an issue for the kernel people. Alexander

When I had the option Browser=true selected gdm wouldn't start. Also right now when X crashes or I exit X, gdm leaves the main loop (with some GTK errors) and stops its second task. So I have to login as root to kill this last gdm task. I'm using a matrox G200 card. Alexander

Hy, I just noticed that all the includes are just symbolic links in there. libqt2-devel needs a repackaging. Alexander

[Cooker] Installation from second CD Drive
Hy I just tried to install Cooker from my second CD drive (since my first can't read RW-CDs) and had to switch of my first CD-Rom reader because was no way to make Cooker boot from the second scsi CD-Rom drive. I can remember this worked before and in the rescue system it still does. Alexander Werth
