Re: SV: [newbie] Is a restart necessary?
go to a terminal sheel and type mount -a this will force linux to reread the fstab and remount everything On Wednesday 20 November 2002 04:36 pm, Anders Lind wrote: If I make alterations to fstab, do I need to reboot, or can I cause it to be read some other way? You don't need to reboot, when you try to mount each time it will read /etc/fstab at that time /Anders -- Luke Vandervort Linux, because rebooting is for adding new hardware ...

Re: [newbie] flash
If you really want to cheat, go to netscape and download and install netscape 7, it will install, java, flash and whatever that other big thing is, (cant remember off hand.

Re: [Re: [newbie] New kernel and sound (or lack of)]
I have no clue on the numbers files, i am a begginer like you. I just lucked onto that wordperfect thing. Don't give up. When M$ goes belly up in a few years you'll be ahead of everyone else.

BTw, I find a strange bin file on my C drive, numbers.bin , is this the LILO or do you know? If I decide to delete this OS, I would need to del thAt too.

Re: [newbie] Sorting Messages in KMail
Armando, Try the mail reader in Netscape messenger, It is top notch and better than M$ Outlook. Ghost Master wrote: Hey, all! Just wondering if there was a way to have the messages automatically sorted by date sent in Kmail. I've had to click on the Date header everytime I've gotten new mail in order to view it this way. Turning into a Major Drag (C) since I only recently cut over from MS Outlook. The sort works only on a limited basis; I still can't get KMail to sort my mail properly.dates are grouped together, but at the same time are still out of sequenceI'm looking for the newest mail to be at the begining of the mail window..ala M$ Outlook, Eudora, etc Related question: Can anyone recommend a better mail reader? I like KMail, but I'm used to more functionality from my M$oft days. Armando.
[newbie] Linux Games
Hello, I have noticed that there are a bunch of games located in /usr/games I can only get two of them to work. xboard and xgammon. My family would love to play these games, We are trying to make Linux a family op. I have tried opening a window and typing the names to no avail. I have also gone into xwindows and double clicked on them. They just lock up my system most times. I can see that they are executables, and Ihave permissions for them as root. How do I get them started? I saw many many games being installed when I install, but don't see them, nor can I start them. Any help? Also, how do I start some of the other GUI's I would like to check them out. Thanks. Luke Tina Vandervort[EMAIL PROTECTED]ICQ# 13963194
