Dumb Date Format Question?

Hi All, Sorry to bother the list on this one, but I haven't figured out what I did (and how to un do it) on my date format. Where does one set the "location" for Mandrake. It was US, and I foolishly set it to Montreal. I say foolishly, because all my dates are not in Canadian format (dd/mm/yy)

Tomas, Yes, there _has_ to be a way to do in in a linux only system. I got tired of Mandrake setting the clock wrong upon boot, and have added this to the end of my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: # set clock back to HW clock value upon boot /sbin/hwclock -s Of course, this assumes you have set the ha

Hello All, I have an iMac which has video card issues. Fortunately it runs well enough to run Linux and X windows on it. But the screen is shifted a little the left so that the first couple of characters (in non X) are cut off. Since I run X on it all the time, I would like to tweak the Modeli

Ben, Well I guess it is a good thing that you see it on other apps as well. I think it has to do with putting the interface in promiscious mode, and then switching it back (to "regular" mode). Something isn't right when it gets set back. I agree you method is more of a work-around than a solut

Hello All, I recently installed Mandrake 8.2 on my Powerbook (Pismo). I have discovered a problem, which I hope there is an answer for. X freezes upon wake up. The rest of the machine is fine (I can ssh into the powerbook and reboot it). If I am just in the console (read: not X), wake up works jus
