[expert] gdm chooser
I'm trying to get the gdmchooser to work when i do a '/usr/bin/X11/X -indirect hostname' but i always get the standard gdm login.

Exactly. The free os's are customizable limited only by your imagination. Think about what you would like your computer to do, with enough work, skill and vision, it can do anything. For that comes a price.

Two cases in point: More fuel for the fire I guess... Do you really want persons that can not edit a text file running linux at all? I'm not prepared to try to support people that can barely hold a mouse. The whole Linux replacing Windows on the desktop is stupid...who cares. I use Linux because it works, I like using it. On a entirely diffrent flame fest. If this is the Mandrake expert mailing list, I hate to see what the newbie list is like.

Greater than 2gig files are allowed when glibc is compiled against 2.4.x headers. This does not mean that everything will support greater than 2 gig. Samba and the gnome filemanager to name two.(in the 2.2.x era distros). I believe that all of the distros that ship with the 2.4.x kernel now support greater than 2 gig across the board. . --- |o_o | |:_/ | Michael Osten // \ \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (| | ) Reefedge Inc. /'\_ _/`\ \___)=(___/
