With that understood, here's a poser: After a reboot, and when I first do a login, my KDE desktop has these three wonderfully strange icons that pop outta nowhere - they've got icons as devices, but the rest makes no sense to what I can figger out. The names are: * dynamicProbing * dynamicAdding * dynamicProcessing Now, I happily delete them, but this is getting rather old. Happens with ALL users and even root. Meanwhile, something I've noticed - if I set the system to runlevel 5, more memory is used, churned, burned; if I start in runlevel3 and hand start my Xwindows sessions, I have more speed, more memory and less worries. I started doing this because the other day TWICE the entire system locked up tighter than a drum and I couldn't even telnet into it from another machine due to it's complete and utter lack of response; the CPU fire applet was off the scale...but whilst starting Xwindows by hand, it nary moves a molecule and flies like the dickens... Well right-click on those icons and select properties and find out what you can... Also, look in ~/Desktop and look at the files and dump them at us. That seems dumb enough that I really want to know. You are correct, kdm and gdm and even xdm have an overhead for starting apps and it can be very heavy for the more recent ones who want to offer services an experinced person like yourself does not need (cause you already know to type shutdown -h now in a terminal to quit or -r reboot to a different OS) I made a little convenience program for those who like to start in runlevel 3 and login there then use a window manager it is called Xtart and it is but a few lines of Python code. It should be available under 9.0. urpmi Xtart should fetch it after that, go in on runlevel3, and type Xtart ... then you will be able to choose any WM from a menu (or type 0 twice to bring up X with only a terminal) Using Xtart and appropriate files placed in /etc/X11/wmsession.d you can nominate other programs for WM status. I have used emacs for that, and it is interesting, almost as amusing as emacs for a shell. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] cd rom and cd writer
In harddrake I can see my cdrom and my cd writer, however, they will not mount in root. How do I force them to? These are SCSI. RB
[newbie] Servers
In windows I have a small network set up. I use netbeui, and I wish to do the same in linux using Samba, with netbeui. Can anyone tell me how to set these up. I really like the new Mandrake. I think I may go to it as my full time system. My wife, however cannot do this, as she is blind and has JAWS for windows, and there is not any GUI talkers for linux, that we know of. This is why I must set her systems up to access my box from Widows. I wish someone could make a system for linux that would talk in x and gnome and KDE. Please help. You may E-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], if you wish. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] loggin in and using the ip address
When I log in, it gives my ip address and says welcomd ---.--.---. The dashes representing ip nos. Could it be that I have this setting wrong? I went in as root and typed make postfix, and It complained about these nos. If so, how do I change this?
[newbie] postfix
I noticed,when logged in as "root" i typed postfix,and it said numbes. When I log in, it has my dns numbers, and says whecom 24. sonething. Could this be a problem?
Re: [newbie] sendmail
Mark, when I typed all that you told me to about postfix, I got the following. postfix-19991231p108-5mdk. Tell me how to make that take fetchmail to pine and how to load it. I really know very little about this program. Thanks for helping, and replying. Sincerely Robert
Re: [newbie] sendmail
Meph, I have downloaded the two rpm files for sendmail. I found, however that I do have postfix. Would I be better off running this? Also would it send it to pine?
