I can't seem to figure out where to tell it to find java, although I have /usr/bin/java on my system, it does not seem to want to load and run any java apps. Should I install another kind of Java somewhere on here? I downloaded the IBM jre java but I think that that was not needed. Locate java in the settingsconfigure konquerorjavabrowse and then go to /usr/bin/java/java . set that in the box for java location and see if your java does not start working. If not http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-linux.html and down load the linux java runtime environment to your /home/username directory and it will always be there if you do a new install but don't format /home. Once it is in that directory and you untar it you can then point konqueror to that file in /home/username (whatever username is yours) and it should then run like a champ. Let me know if you have any problems understanding my lousy writing, and if any of the above works for you. -- Dennis M. registered Linux user #180842

It responds File size limit exceeded I've searched the list archive for the above response and I found only one reference, and that related to Squid. Thanks... -Ross (the confused) Didn't mean to confuse you. The file size is a limit put on by Bastille to keep unauthorized crackers and such from accessing through the super user permissions. Bastille release candidate 3 (I believe) had something going on in its scripts such that once some files reached a certain size it would disable the su function. You will find that if you logoff and then login as root you can do what ever it is you were trying to do. So the solution is to change the file size allowed in /etc/Bastille/config or run InteractiveBastille as I indicated before and deselect the option to limit file sizes. If you initially set it up with the tinyfirewall selection or what ever it was called then that is the same as Bastille, just a default configuration. Also I did not disable the suidusernetctrl or any of the other suid choices, since my LAN is a small 4 computer system. the answer to disable suid usernetctl=N the answer to configureMiscPam.limitsconf=N Also, I would go to the Bastille web page and down load the final release on that page. Uninstall the old bastille and Install the newer one as directed on the web page. I have tested the firewall on a couple of the linux probe ports sites and it will lock down tight and show no ports open. A good start on security. For what it's worth, now it's up to you. -- Dennis M. registered Linux user #180842

I have given my cheapbytes copy of Mandrake to two other people cause they said It's time I tried linux, what do you suggest? They are trying it because they see the writing on the wall with XP and they hear me talking about the only time my system goes down is if I am messing with it to see what happens if I do this? and I proceed to do something ignorant., but in 5 to 10 minutes I am back up and running. Now my wife after having been nocked off of AOL for the umpteenth time and fighting with Office 97, says to me, your going to have to teach me how to use linux. That's three people in the last 2 weeks and just me. How many of you out there are experiencing the same? I see the snowball rolling down hill and that sucker is getting bigger every day. Now RedHat has a net server OS called TUX 2.0 that runs packets through at 3 times the speed of NT. And that measure for peak could only be made after they took two of the cpus out of the server running the benchmark! Linux is on the verge. I personnally don't care if it replaces MS or not, just so It continues to develope and provide me with the choice of spending a bunch of money on something I have no control over or paying fair market value for something I can taylor to my needs.

[newbie] Konqueror utf8 encoding
I have found that the fonts in konqueror web browser look good if once in konqueror I click on View set encoding and then select utf8. Only it doesn't stay that way. Next time I open up konqueror I have to set it again. I have tried through control center but am having no success.

TIA for any suggestions or help. SNF is a _STAND-ALONE_ system. It warns you but it ERASES EVERYTHING that was on the computer you intend for a firewall. It will not work on a computer with any other system, linux or windows. It is for blocking commercials, or if you run a small office, to keep employees off of porn sites or chat. It is very flexible, but its primary purpose is _protection_ of your network. That means no other programs allowed. You have a mini-firewall on 8.0 for a similar purpose, but it isn't a border firewall that keeps mischief out the way this one does, nor does it serve as a router, which SNF certainly can. Civileme I can see that now as I installed it on a small 4.3 gig hd by itself. It was a very smooth and uncomplicated install. My problem now is admin access from the other linux box. The connection dies almost immediately, I'm not sure if that is due to the fact that Bastille is installed on that box also or if I do not have some network interfaces set right. I seem to have a problem with networking and things like samba. Can't seem to get them to work just right. Is there a man or howto for SNF yet or just what is available on the cd. Oh, it is a download from the internet. If I can get it working I will by the official version to get the manuals and to keep LM library of Distros complete. Father's Day got me the power pack deluxe 8.0 so now I have all starting at 7.0. The growth of LM has been a wonder to see in just a little over a year. So, any help getting my other box to talk to SNF? TIA -- Dennis M. registered Linux user #180842
