[newbie] Resolution Settings

2004-02-19 Thread Mike Begin
I just installed Mandrake 10.0 on a Virtual drive and messed up the screen
settings (color / resolution).  Can I change that back at the command
prompt?  On bootup?  It is very hard to see the screen at the moment.

Thanks,
Mike

Hold down ALT and CTRL and hit backspace. Then type init 3

Then xf86config

Or just type mcc and use Mandrake Control Center.

Thanks for the response!  When I type Ctrl Alt Bksp it takes me to the
system prompt, then immediately launches KDE again??

[newbie] Syslog

2004-02-05 Thread Mike Begin








I need to setup syslog on my 9.2.1 box. My router is
10.1.1.2. Two questions:


 Where do I setup the ip address
 of the router in linux and have the linux box accept log entries from the
 router? Is it just the /etc/syslog.conf file?
 Where do the logs go once it is
 setup? Do I need to setup a directory or do they go to the /var/log
 directory?




If anyone knows where there is some good docs on this, that
would be great.



Thanks,

Mike
