The HD acts like it trying to start it, but no. Any error messages when you try to run it? Nope! Not a one. If you've ever got programs that you find on your hard drive that you're not sure what they do, you can always use 'man program' and see the manual page for it. It's really quite handy! Its funny, I just found that out. Anyway, I scraped Gftp and went with IglooFTP, it works great and was a lot easier to install. I think my problem with Gftp had something todo with it being a non-static rpm. Regards, Qman... "Don't you just feel good about yourself, you will!"

[newbie] Swap file not being used?
Free reports the my Swap is 66492kb, but 0 is being used. This accounts for the slowness and the constant hard disk swapping. Anybody got a fix for the 0 usage of the swap file?

[newbie] Adding: HTML support to XEmacs
Just installed XEmacs and noticed that it was missing the HTML button. So can somebody tell how to install HTML under XEmacs, so I can update my Web Page.

KDE 1.0 had a menu choice called ``Non-KDE Applications''; what happenned to it? Try running [K] [System] [Appfinder]. I worked for me. (:-) Regards, Qman...

Re: [newbie] How do I get to my Win drives?

I believe Mandrake does this by default. Second, in KDE, right-click on the desktop. Select New-Filesystem Device. Give it a name (keep the .kdelnk part at the end) that will show up on the desktop. Click OK. Third, right-click on the icon that is created, select Properties. Select the Device tab. Into the top entry box, enter the partition name of the Windows partition (/dev/hda1, for example). You may want to change the icons (at the bottom) since the default ones are pretty meaningless. Finally, double-click on the desktop icon and it should auto-magically mount the partition and open a file manager window for you. To unmount the partition, simply right-click on the icon and select Unmount. That's it! -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried all of the above to no avail. My first drive (Windows boot) is fat32 but in the /etc/fstab file the drive is listed as follows: /dev/hda / vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1 I would think that there would be a distinction between fat16 and fat32. When clicking on the created icon I get : Could not mount mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb5 is already mounted on/ Again thanks for the help. It worked for me but my /dev/hda1 wasn't listed in the /etc/fstab so I added it. That also explains way it never loaded with mount -t vfat.

Re: [newbie] Updated KDE Apps.

Could someone, who has the Mandrake CD w/KDE 1.1, confirm what version their Korganizer is at? If I needed to upgrade, would I have uninstall the older apps first, or would the rpm command(s) automatically take care of the upgrade procedure? My says version 1.0. Regards, Qman...
