Re: [newbie] RPMs Go Where?
I do it the lazy way: I use Midnight Commander ("mc" on the command line)
;-)
Hitting enter on an rpm (if it is NOT set to be executable) opens it just
like a directory.

Re: [newbie] Wheel mouse
All I did was made an application icon on the desktop and where the name of the program to be executed goes I wrote: "imwheel -k", clicked OK. Then I dragged (ie. drag 'n' drop) this icon into the autostart folder icon on the desktop. It worked. I now use IceWM as wm and KDM (for the sake of my family) to log in and I can't figure out a way to automatically start it. Istvan Alan Shoemaker wrote: > Eunicehere's how I do it: > > 1.

[expert] Adding ttf fonts
I hev just signed up to this list, although I've been using Mandrake for about 8 months now (RedHat before), so I'm not really sure if this is an already over-discussed issue (I could imagine it to be). I've also sent this message to both expert and newbie, because I haven't receive enough mails yet to find out which is more useful. I have downloaded ttf fonts from the web, but the way I used to add them to the system in RedHat (ie. using ttmkfdir, etc) seems not to work. Is there a (working) way that I could get the system to recognise them? Thanks in advance.
