Sawfish is the Window Manager.
I'm trying to install the theme DarkAlloy. There seems to be two files:
0.21 and 0.30. I downloaded them both.
As instructed by the web site, I issued the following command.
cp DarkAlloy* ~/.sawfish/themes/DarkAlloy.tar.gz
I got an error, because there's no directory named themes, so I created one.
cd ~/.sawfish
mkdir themes
Then issued the following command.
cp DarkAlloy* ~/.sawfish/themes/DarkAlloy.tar.gz
The file was copied without problems.
I went to Control Center, but DarkAlloy is not in the menu of themes.
So, I clicked on the "Install new theme...", and chose the file DarkAlloy
file. I got no errors, but I still don't see DarkAlloy in the themes list.
Any suggestions?
You might try heading to the themes directory ~/.sawfish/themes, and
then running the command:
% tar xfvz DarkAlloy.tar.gz
That will extract the images and configuration sitting in the archive.
It will _LIKELY_ create a subdirectory like
~/.sawfish/themes/DarkAlloy/; you can look at the list of files via
the command:
% tar tfvz DarkAlloy.tar.gz

Is it possible to create a CD with boot partition in it ? If so, is cdrecord

Yes and no. You need mkisofs to create a bootable CD image, and cdrecord
to create a CD that contains that image. Read the man page for mkisofs,
paying close attention to the -b and -c options. You'll have to create a
1.44 M image file that contains a bootable ext2 or minix filesystem, and
that bootable filesystem should contain both a kernel and an initial
ramdisk which contains a set of minimal utilities and libraries to
get the system started. The ramdisk will become /, and you can mount the
rest of the CD under whatever directory you want. You may wish to read
the Bootdisk-HOWTO at

MONEY EASY AND FAST!!!
HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $10,000.00!
READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE !!!
I FOUND THIS ON A BULLETIN BOARD AND DECIDED TO TRY IT.
A little whileback, I was browsing throught newsgroups,
just like you are now, and came across an article similar
to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!!
So I thought , YEAH right, this must be a scam , but like must of us ,
I was so curious, so I kept reading Anyway, it said that you send $1.00
to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article . You then
place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (there are thousands!).
No catch, that was it.
So after thinking it over , and talking to a few people first, I thought
about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and
$6.00,
right? Then I invested the measly $6.00.
Well GUESS WHAT !!..WITHIN 7 DAYS, I started getting money in the mail !!
I was shocked !! I figured it would end soon , but the money just kept
coming in.
In my first week I had made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I
had made a total of over $1000.00!!! In the third week I had over
$10,000.00,
and it's still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00
and it's still coming in rapidly.
It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps!!! Ihave spent more than that on
the lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works...
Also , make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
information off of it as you need it .I promise you that if you follow the
directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought
possible by doing something so easy !!! Suggestion: Read this entire
message
carefully!!
(print it out or download it). Follow the simple directions and watch the
money come in !!
It's easy. It's legal. And , your investment is only $6.00(plus postage)!!!
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip off, itis not indecent, it is not ilegal, and
it is virtually no risk - i

Following the RH manual, I tried to use sndconfig. It successfully
detects and identifies the card, but when it tries to play a sample, it
gives me the following error message:
modprobe error
The following error occurred running
the modprobe program:
sh: insmod: command not found
sound: No such file or directory
sound: No such file or directory
It then runs through a manual configuration, correctly detects all
the settings (IRQ etc), but gives the same error when it tries to
play.
The problem you're describing is not a sound-specific problem. Rather, you
either do not have the appropriate programs on your system, or (more likely)
you're path doesn't include the dirctory where these files live. Check your
path to see if /usr/sbin is in it, and if it is, check in /usr/sbin to see
if insmod is there.
If you're not sure about how to check your path, read the bash man page
('man bash').
Good luck,

For somebody running Win9x with one hard drive, downloading and installing Linux
from Win9x is impractical at best. You need at least 2 disk partitions (root and
swap)
for Linux and more (/usr /var /boot /home ...) is better. Running from a Win tmp
directory or a floppy is not going to work.
As a minimum, I'd recommend an extra hard drive (a lowly 1Gb will do just fine)
and
a CD distribution with a good reputation for easy installation. From there,
setting up
a dual boot machine is pretty straight ahead and is fully covered in the RedHat
5.2
installation guide. If you had to mothball that old 486 to run Win9x in the
first place,
now is a good time to dig it out. :-)
I've installed Win95 and RedHat 5.2 on a lot of different machines. I find the
RedHat
5.2 install real easy and the Win95 install a major annoyance.

I have no idea how to make that work under Linux, but it is certainly

Just be weary of RedHat's Sparc docs, they don't appear to have been

As you can tell I am very new to Linux. I originally had a 2MB S3 video
card in my Linux machine. I have up graded it to a 4MB S3 video card.
How do I change the driver? Currently, I am difficulty exiting X
Windows and my boss thought it might be due to the new video card. When
Linux starts up, no problem, all the words seem fine. If I go to X
Windows everything is still fine, even in XTerm. But once I exit from X
Windows, all the words on the screen are "garbled" up. The letters are
out of order but linux is still working fine. If I type telnet or
startx, those respective programs run fine. If I use telnet it will
work however the words are still garbled. If I return to X Windows then
evrything is fine, even in XTerm, until I exit again. So the only way
for me to work in a true linux environment without X Windows, is when I
first start up. I apoligize for the length of this message and will
truely appreciate any advise on my problem, be it a video driver or not.
are you using a S3 or a S3 Virge? A colleague of mine had this problem
with a S3

As easy to undo as it is to implement... And even allows you to keep
record of where everything came from, in case you don't use some package
management.
That is disgusting! Far better to just add to the PATH variable
in that case. (Well, at least for X11R6. I have never looked
at kde so I'm not sure about that one.)
KDE creates an environment variable called ... uhm ... $KDEDIR, IRRC ...
which it prepends to any kde specific program it calls.
Which is also a viable method to keep your path sane.

My linux box is running Redhat 5.2 (brand new install) with DHCPCD
installed. I followed the dhcp howto to the letter, but I still get this
problem...
My box leases an ip like its supposed to, but when it gets the IP and tries
to use it, it rejects it saying its already in use and says "falling back to
INIT".
Is this a subnet mask problem? (I do not have a subnet)
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Please don't reply in the newsgroup here, RATHER:
Please send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you!!! I really need help

A null modem connection is a direct connection between the serial
ports of two computers. It requires a specially-wired serial cable
(usually referred to as a "null-modem cable"). I think you're
right... a serial connection would be rather slow. It would probably
be better to stick to parallel (for PLIP) or Ethernet connections.
FWIW, I recently did a RedHat install to a laptop via FTP over a crossover
cable, using common 10Mbit cards in both machines (pcmcia in the laptop, of
course) - no problem.

I get the same error eith Red Hat 5.2
I also got this error under RedHat 5.2 and Perl/Tk 800.012. It seems
that XS is not emitting the Xlib.c files correctly, as well as others.
I hate to "me too" here, but this is very fustrating, and I was hoping
someone had found a fix for this.
Cheers,
