[newbie] anti aliased fonts (netscape, mozilla, etc.)
Hi, I'm trying to understand why Netscape and Mozilla, have such a bad display. Most of the websites look pretty untidy, i mean no anti aliased fonts that's why. I use Gnome 2.4 (no KDE, it doesn't have weather facility on the right hand corner) Is there to activate this AA fonts? Thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] left start menu kaboomed
Hi, I just finished installing Mandrake 9.2, and it runs superbly, both the bugs I mentioned were fixed, etc. But what happened was that suddenly after installing, it asked to update, I selected no. Then from rpmdrake (the gui thing) I asked it to update. It did, but I was running KDE, and it was updating some KDE packages. Now while I was playing with the menu, etc. I think it was updating, and suddenly the next time i clicked (after clicking ok to the installed updates finished) ... the menu has only one or two items in each submenu, all of the others have finished for some reason! Can anyone help me here? thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] left start menu (another problem)
Hi, also despite the fact that out of the hundreds of item that show up, only few are there. Even fewer point to as valid links, most of them don't do anything. It happens in GNOME, and everything else Even with other users. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] Raw tree installation of mdk 9.2
Hi thanks for the reply. Well I want to know (before starting) that I have Mandrake 9.2 RC2 installed, and I have WinXP running too. Basically if I do the floppy boot, and let it run, I won't be able to do anything I presume. Anyway, that seems ok. The problem is that will it screw up my previous installation or something of XP and RC2. I do want it to go in the RC2 partition that I've created. Thanks. P.S. - Does anybody know when the ISO's come out ? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 8:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Raw tree installation of mdk 9.2 Mukul Sabharwal wrote: Hi, How does one install the Raw tree 9.2 download edition.

Then (assuming you're already running linux) from the comand line (as root, from the directory where you saved the image) type: dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0 If you are currently running some MS OS you can use rawrite to do the same thing. See: http://gulus.usherb.ca/pub/Mandrake/9.2/i586/INSTALL.txt This will write the network boot image to a floppy. Write down the ftp address of the mirror (european mirrors are generally faster). Boot from the floppy and install directly from the mirror. You will have to know what settings you use for your broadband (ie. all I need to know is that my cable modem gets an IP address using DHCP). Specify the ftp site you want to install from and you're good to go. A big advantage of an ftp install is that you only download the packages you actually want to install (total install time for me, including downloading = aprox. 2 hrs). And if (when) you decide to install more packages later you don't have to swap disks because urpmi is allready set up to get them from the mirror. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you need more help, that's what we're here for. Joe. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
