I use xchat, it's a very nice program. You can write your own scripts in perl 
or python when the existing scripts are not what you are looking for, 
Customise your buttons, fonts,colors etc.
Have a look at http://www.xchat.org for screenshots and scripts etc.

Copy the new compiled bzImage to /boot, but rename it. Don't overwrite an 
existing kernel!
Add the new kernel to youw bootmanager and reboot.
If there are problems, you can still boot with your old kernel.

In /etc/pam.d/login you must change pam_unix2.so into pam_unix.so

I think it was pam_unix2.so  or something like that. perhaps pam_unix.so2?

At first you have to compile the kernel sources.
make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux to the new sources:

ln -s /usr/src/ /usr/src/linux

then go to /usr/src/linux
# make menuconfig

Configure your kernel, save the config
then
# make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

When everything is ok, the new kernel can be found : 
/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage

#mount /boot
and copy bzImage to /boot
you can rename it if you like so that you don't overwrite an existing bzImage

then add this image to lilo.conf (and run lilo) so you can choose it when 
booting.
If something goes wrong, you can still boot the old kernel

I always use the -3 option. Lots of configfiles I have never touched, so they

KDE starts up, but as soon as it tries to restore the session, it crashes.

No.
I have the same kernel and with xfree 4.2.1 it runs just fine.
Today I upgraded xfree to 4.3.0-r1 and I got the same errors as you have
It is not only KDE. Gnome will also not start, the gnome session manager 
crashes, just like ksmserver
I have an athlon-xp cpu
I also tried to add a new user, in case some settings are not ok, but kde 
would not start.
I tried it as root, in case of some access settings did not match, but that 
did not help.
So I am desperate. Downgrading xfree to 4.2.1 will perhaps start kde again, 
but then a lot of other programs will not work anymore.
Perhaps I will install everything from scratch again :-/

xchat is very good!

I think it should be started as xchat-2

I had those problems also, after upgrading xfree to 4.3.0-r3
The same errors with Gnome (gnome session manager crashed)
I downgraded xfree to 4.2.1 and everything is running fine now.
But now I cannot upgrade a few packages because they will upgrade xfree also  
and I am afraid that kde will crash again :-/

With 2 windows, when starting the 2nd windows, the 1st windows partition must 
be made invisible or else the 2nd partition will not be C:
So the trick is: how to hide a partition. Is that possible with lilo

that will delete almost everything! isn't it?
I have unmerged cfree only now (and midnight commander didn't work anymore.. 
;-/) and now it is rebuilding xfree. If that does not help, I will try it 
your way :-)

Why? Does unmerge not do that?

Kde and gnome worked, until I upgraded xfree. I got an error but the 2nd time 
it emerged ok. Except that I got segmentation faults whe starting kde or 
gnome, so I think xfree is to blame for that.

I will let you know how it goes
Thanks for your reply and also mooktaking and Peter.

[gentoo-user] downgrading, how?

2003-06-08 Thread Kees Bergwerf
How can I downgrade with emerge?

KDE and GNOME will not start anymore. ksmserver crashes and the gnome server 
also crashes.
It does not matter if I use kdm or gdm
I have emerged xfree twice but is does not make any difference.
So the next thing I'd like to try is downgrading xfree but I don't know how 
:-(
Now I have xfree-4.3.0-r2
how can I get xfree-4.2.0 ?
