Re: [expert] Mandrake pre-login logo
Talking of the logo, has anyone else with a Celeron A noticed that the logo
is split up by the machine description string? ("One 300 MHz Intel Celeron
" is too long to fit on one line when I boot up.)

Hi everyone
I recently upgraded my good-old PC from RedHat 6 to
Mandrake 6. Fortunately, little of my previous config was modified and i
kept much of the important files i had. Due to the good feeling i got
from the Mandrake's distro, i also re-installed from the same Mandrake
CD another machine at work.
It came to my surprise that the machine at work now presents a cool logo
before the 'login' prompt on console session, although my own pece
doesn't. I suspect that's because on my machine, i kept all the startup
scripts, (/etc/rc.d/*) and that there's one program started on the
cool-logo machine that's not started on my machine (I know that's not a
'dynmical' since i copied the '/etc/issue' file from work to home,
getting on my machine a prompt with indications from the other machine,
so i suppose that file is generated at startup).
Could anyone point me to the program that generates the cool Mandrake
logo. On my machine, the 'issue' file is rewritten every 5 minutes with
a cron shell in order to show some information (such as the tty, the
machine load, its uptime and similar stuff), so my ultimate hope is to
be able to modify / regenerate that 'issue-with-logo' with the
information i put in it previously with a coloured pinguin as a bonus.
Greetings

change video mode to higher resolution :
at boot, type "linux vga=ask"
choose to see the list of availlable modes and select a 132x?? or a

[expert] (More) problems with vmware and recompiled kernel
I've been trying to set up vmware (version 1.0.3), and in preperation, I've recompiled my kernel from the src rpm (kernel-2.2.10-32mdk from Cooker -- a couple of weeks old now). I compiled relatively light-weight kernel, to drive my Intel P2/BX chipset, 64MB ram, IDE based system. I have no floppy, but I have an ls120. I missed out pretty much anything that I don't need for this workstation. After running menu config I changed the tag string to 2.2.10-32mdk-sjm1, and did 'make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install'. The kernel runs the machine ok, but it won't run vmware. I have a Win98 installation on a FAT partition, and I was planning to run this in vmware, but I get a segfault as soon as I "power up" the vitual machine. How can I help to get this problem licked in time for MD6.1? I could post my menuconfig files if that's interesting to the kernel-hackers at MD. Helpful for me would be to see the config file from a kernel that works with vmware. Steven

Yes, the logo gets truncated by the long line, I use a celeron (covington) 300
mhz.
it might be posible to change the description to, Intel (Cel.) to make room!

Not sure how to fix this the gnome term, but get Eterm if you want a really smooth transparent terminal. http://www.eterm.org run it with 'Eterm --trans 1 --shade 0' make sure to do 'ldconfig' after you install it.

[expert] Display smaller / larger fonts in Netscape easily ??
Does anyone know how to change font size in Netscape in Linux. In windoze version, Ctrl-[ and Ctrl-] will change default font size very easily. But in Linux, it looks like these menu is shaded and inactive. Only way to change font is throgh Edit-Preference-Appearence-Font which is too much. Does any one know how to get these Ctrl-[ and Ctrl-] activated in Linux? This is the main reason using windoze version of Netscape. Some fonts on web page are too small to read.
