My multiple Ethernet cards (at work) are configured in /etc/conf.modules , as per Ethernet-HOWTO (and NET3-HOWTO and...) instructions. Activation-on-start and default-routes were set using 'control panel / network' in X. These latter failed to work for a Cyclades router - apparently due to a bug in RH initscripts version (not Mandrake). I then added ifconfig and route commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local script as suggested by those same HOWTOs. Best of luck! Antonio C T Rocha Brasil
Re: [newbie] Mail client that handles many different pop accounts???
Thanks, o wiser-than-I-in this-for-sure ;-} As per another merciful advice, I have already downloaded staroffice, but haven't installed it yet. I'll give that a try at work first. It might be a better solution for a business co. When (and if ever - sigh -) I get it to work, I'll try your method at home. Your method seems much more interesting and 'educational'. It is the perfect excuse to understand Linux mail machinery better, not to mention all those cool clients and .files that real linuxers seem to use. Thanks mightily!

Re: [newbie] Mail client that handles many different pop accounts???
Wonderful! I had completely forgotten about installing Staroffice. I tested it before in my ex-windows-now-linux box. It ought to do the trick. Of course, I'm not sure how much faith to put in SUN maintaining and updating it. So, Mahogany wil get a trial run too. Many thanks...

[newbie] Mail client that handles many different pop accounts???
Hello, Wise Ones, Q : Which Linux mail client handles several different accounts for the same user at the same time, and also handles html, images and such? Unfortunately, Netscape 4.61 in LinuX only seems to allow me one pop account. Motive : I'm still suffering M$-Outlook because I get (and send) mail through several accounts : my paid provider; several departamental and individual accounts on my company server; and another external provider account I share with an interested party. Another reason for using it is that - due to work - I recieve a _lot_ of mail with html, pictures, annexes and whatnot. I am often forced to answer in the same manner.And I cannot do otherwise. Dire consequence of failure : I shall have to reinstall the "W-thing" on my computer at work. I shall also forfeit any chance of convincing the suits that the company can work on Linux. Any flicker of hope would be most welcome. TIA Antonio C T Rocha Brasil

Been in the same predicament. Finally decided to look veeery carefully at the docs and then tried typing Xconfigurator and [enter]. Notice the capital X. Hope its that simple for you too.

Re: [newbie] Video Settings
Jason, I usually just keep bashing away changing Xconfigurator settings (almost) at random until something works. CTRL-ALT-+ will change screen resolution on the fly (if you select several in Xconfigurator), but this has not worked with an Intel 3D video board I have at work. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, fortunately, does work at bailing out from a "glitched" X-windows session.

I'm stuck at 640x480 8bits - making the KDE too small to work with... sometimes i can't see the "ok" buttons! When I set this up (using Linux - 4 - windows) and tried using 800x600 8bits (i didn't try 16bits, giving me 65536 colors) and it said "problem with X windows" and brought me back to the video setup where I put in 640x480, and it worked. ***>>>Now that I have the KDE installed at 640x480, how do i change this to 800x600 16 bits??? I couldn't find anything in the menus on the K "start" menu. ...and is X Windows referred to in the setup the same as the KDE that is actually used? thanks for your help!
