[Cooker] mkcd
I must be missing something here. Prior to Christmas Cooker, I used mkcd2 to make CD sets from my mirror of cooker. Commandline was "mkcd2 -a /path/to/cooker/i586". Everything worked fine. Weird error messages about "file not found", but CDs made from images worked. Now I don't have mkcd2, so I try it with mkcd. Same weird errors PLUS: Error: disc 1 too small Error: disc 3 too small Error: disc 4 too small CD1 is bootable - to a prompt for selecting alt kernel. Then asks for Installation CD, which is not any of the 4 created. So - how is the right way to use mkcd automagically? = Mage Grimau, Strange Unwashed & Somewhat Slightly Dazed Sage of MoonKeep, Wizard of The Tower, Bane of the Willfully Ignorant, Master Mage, and General Nuisance.

The discussion was about how the new KDE is harder to configure and change than the old one - specifically, I can't figure out how to get rid of the stupid task stuff in the panel. I have my windows just hide when I minimize them, but under KDE2 they always show up in the panel and I don't like that. Also, I miss the themes. I'm hoping that as KDE2 grows up the themes will be returned. -- Mage Grimau So now you should spend the morning lying to your father quite amazed about the Strange Unwashed and Happily Slightly Dazed [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] 7.2 and KDE
Is there a way to use 7.2 and KDE without using KDE2? I found KDE2 to be quite ugly and inflexible. It looked too much like Windows with that useless taskbar embedded in the panel. If I wanted Windows I would buy Windows. Put the flexibility back. BTW - what happened to the themes? I *liked* being able to change the whole look with a single selection. -- Mage Grimau So now you should spend the morning lying to your father quite amazed about the Strange Unwashed and Happily Slightly Dazed [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [Cooker] Gnome 1.2
Two problems with it 1) Desktop items require double-click and I can't find a way to change it. Due to arthritis, I can't do double-click very well. 2) When I tried to use kmud I kept getting a popup message about "This application has not responded to the save yourself message." Then I could either kill kmud or continue. Even after I chose to continue, it kept repeating the message every 30 seconds or so. Should be able to turn it of for specific apps. Between the two problems, I was forced back to KDE, which is nice enough, but I would like a chance to use Gnome. --- dam's <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > check out the new gnome package, and test it. > What do you think (suggestions...)? > -- > dam's > = Mage Grimau, Strange Unwashed & Somewhat Slightly Dazed VoiceMail/Fax: 1-651-328-1145 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [Cooker] please please test U66 with last kernel.
Everything. If he told you to look for something specific, you might not test it all. By just asking you to test it, he's left open possibilities he hasn't thought of. --- Tom Schutter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Chmouel, > > What are you expecting?
