Re: [newbie] Icons to Large
Thanks for all your suggestions but at the root I cannot execute XF 86 Setup or xf 86 config or find /etc/X11/XFConfig file. If I find one of the files suggested what is the best way to edit it and how do I start an editor. I am running Mandrake.

[newbie] Icons to large
I had to reinstall Mandrake, when xconfig came up I was stuck using the default as all the other sizes would not be accepted. Now the icons are way to large and when I open some of the icons like Netscape I can't see the accept button. Is there any way to change the screen size to something like 800 x 600. Thanks Jennifer ICQ:6765592

I had to reinstall Mandrake, when xconfig came up I was stuck using the default as all the other sizes would not be accepted. Now the icons are way to large and when I open some of the icons like Netscape I can't see the accept button. Is there any way to change the screen size to something like 800 x 600.

[newbie] Modem Problems
I just purchased an Actiontec modem that says it is good for dos, win 3.1, 95, nt and linux. I installed according to the instructions using kddp. When querying the modem I either receive that the modem cannot be found or its busy. I've reloaded linux twice so far. Anyone have any ideas. I'm at wits end. Thanks Jennifer
[newbie] RE: Source Code
I tried to take a look at the source code for Mandrake using the source code cd. I was unsuccessful, I tried to open it in Borland C++ but could not find any files that would display anything. Could someone please tell me how I can see the source code and which language it is written in. Thanks and Season's Greetings Jennifer Wise ICQ:6765592
