Hello! --- Chmouel Boudjnah [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit: -rpmdrake is confusing to me (how do I install packages from the CDROM?) and there's no Help in the menu... what problems excatly ? Well, I'm just saying that it is not entirely intuitive to install packages from the CDROM using rpmdrake (or the other package software). I tried adding the CDROM location but can't seem to make the available packages on the CD-ROM appear in the tree. I'm also confused by the fact that DrakConf links kpackage instead of rpmdrake. Are they or aren't they the same thing? Personnally, I usually do this at the command-line, but it is not really something acceptable for some of my friends - so I'm trying to find out about the GUI way. -balsa, gnome-xbill and perhaps other appears in the Gnome and X apps submenu but are not installed. Is the menu static or custom generated?? should be good client but too late for 7.0. Your answer is confusing! Do you mean that we will only see menu reflecting what's actually installed in 7.1? -Many menu program are missing icons - it does not look very professionnal. Is this the way they are or is this a bug? under windows you have only a few applications by default, your linux comme with a lot of applications and nobody want menus with 1000 applications. Hmmm... Again, I'm confused: how is the quantity of apps related to the facts that some items in the menu are missing icons or are not actually installed? -Linux-mandrake should have a bugtracking software such as the one RedHat has... Perhaps with an extra KDE app to submit bug reports with full hardware specs and software configuration from the desktop. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/bugs/ the best bug tracking system. Hmmm... So should I start reporting bugs/wishlist stuff to that bug tracking system instead of polluting the mailing list? There doesn't seem to be any variable related to which version the user has (RedHat keeps track of rawhide beta bugs thru their bug tracking system). -initial window size for ktop doesn't let you see the % in the Performance meter. hugh, take your mouse an resize the window ? no ? sorry. Funny guy, hey! Just something I thought for new users who don't usually read the documentation and can't know they have to resize it to see the whole information. Isn't there a way to specify a larger initial window size? Anyway, I know it's an extremely minor thing - just nitpicking so that the next version of Mandrake is perfect ;-). what do you call menu structure. Well... KDE menus of course... bye bye, I have to download oxygen-3 now ;-), = Ricky Ng-Adam Capitaine du projet S.O.N.I.A. Montréal (Québec)[École de Technologie Supérieure] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Ricky Ng-Adam écrivit : [...] -Eterm appears in the menu structure but is not installed. Once installed, I can't seem to make it do interesting stuff (transparency, backgroud pixmap) from the menu. Hi, With what Window Manager do you use it? Transparency work only with compatible WM. For backgrounds, use Eterm-0.8.10-3mdk.i586.rpm or Eterm-O.8.10-4mdk.i586.rpm (uploaded in few hours). Warning: if you have Eterm-0.8.10-3mdk.i586.rpm, don't download Eterm-O.8.10-4mdk.i586.rpm. This one fix only a little typo. [...] -netscape crashed again but...

Re: [Cooker] Usage report on Oxygen...
-Eterm appears in the menu structure but is not installed. Once installed, I can't seem to make it do interesting stuff (transparency, backgroud pixmap) from the menu. i saw a similar problem with 6.1: there was an eterm icon on the gnome desktop at the top right corner -- highly visible -- but there is no eterm program. (enlightenment complained at me that i needed to fix my $PATH, but it was too stupid to know the real cause of the problem. windows tries to blame you after you get a BSOD and then restart it too, come to think of it.) i concluded that mandrake _really_ wanted me to use kde, so i switched over to that. the terminal program is crucial to us geeks. if something so obvious as a desktop icon is broken, other parts of the software must be broken too. -- bd
