RE: [newbie] Recent Freezing Issue
One possibility worth trying would be to boot off the rescue disk and leave it in the command line. Don't login or type anything and see if it still crashes. If it does you could be dealing with a dodgy power supply, otherwise apart from linux config probs it may be worth checking your Ram out. If you've got 2 128Mb banks try running them individually to see if it's faulty Ram. (Also if you've got windows on the machine too try running running that to see if that does the same.) I've known overburdened or failing power supllies produce random crashes before. Especially when accessing devices such as CD drives or HD's. Have you added any new periperhals recently that are drawing power from the power supply.

I have 1600 backed up emails and haven't been able to write anything else to this list for help on other issues. The problem is that when logged in to my 7.2 box, the computer freezes after a varying amount of time. I haven't been able to isolate it because it happens so often I almost don't use the computer anymore. I believe it has all been happening either when it is idle or at most when the mouse is in use, I don't remember it occurring when the keyboard was typing. I always first notice it because the mouse won't respond, then I realize the keyboard won't either, and nothing will work except for turning off the power on the box. This has never happened in the first two months of using Linux but it has happened with paralyzing frequency for the last week or so. If it is relevant, I'm not dipping into swap at all, I've got 256MB RAM and not even half is usually used for active processes. I've got kpppstatistics, processmanager, 2 instances of Mozilla (1 browser 1 mail), everybuddy and an eterm open. What's going on? - Isaac PS: Peace, respect, and empathy to all those affected by this tragedy, both in America and abroad.

RE: [newbie] Can't find StarOffice in KDE menu
As a complete newbie... Does anything automatically link itself into the menus? I've installed a number of things off the LM CD and never got links to them... Is linking part of the RPM standard? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ed Kasky Sent: 14 September 2001 01:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Can't find StarOffice in KDE menu I even reported this little bug to Star and never heard anything back...

RE: [newbie] USA TERROR ATTACK!!!!
Thats a very uninformed opinion you are offering. Did you not see any of the reports about how much it would cost to train people to fly those airplanes? Real flight simulators cost major, major bucks, and it costs about 50k to send someone to a school that has one. I wish it was uninformed but it's not. I think the discovery of the flight manuals in the car found at the airport illustrates how basic the knowledge they had was. It dosen't cost much to learn to fly a basic plane. Sure, if you want to become a fully fledged pilot for a commercial airline it takes thousands of hours flight time and thousands of dollars. But if you simply need to know the basics a few lessons at your local school and a couple of hundred dollars would suffice. Believe me keeping a 767 in the air and doing basic guidance isn't much different to doing it in a Cessna. i.e. Pointing it at something and crashing it is easy. Landing it safely and following all the charts and guidelines is more difficult. Anyway I don't think they knew much about aviation I know commercial pilots are trained to do what hijackers want to keep situations calm and under control. I imagine the jackers asked them to fly down the coast and once near NY I suspect they removed the pilots and guided the aircraft themselves. I think this partly because of the third and fourth aircrafts didn't do the damage they potentially could have done. Based on evidence? Thats lip service, no more, designed solely to keep Afghanistan out of the line of fire. I'm not saying we should bomb them or anything, but I certainly don't believe a word of what the Taleban has to say. Call me a knee-jerk Yank if you will... I'm not taking your right to be angry away. go on be angry everyones angry. Most of the world infact. I don't think US citizens know quite how Upset, Shocked and Angry people in other parts of the world are. We're f**ing fuming! Just remember the world is watching and pretty much everyone has condemned this act. If the US gov acts too hastily it will lose some of that support. Imagine what could be done with 80%+ of the worlds governments on it's side. That's enough to turn lip service into action even if the Taleban had no intention of handing bin laden over. Simply blowing up some afgans up innocent or not will just draw more people to bin laden's cause and reaffirm some Islamic peoples beliefs that the western world hate and despise them.
