Re: [[newbie] Icons to large]
just as root run Xconfigurator... or you can try ctrl+alt+-(minus button) and that should go through the different resolutions -- From: Michael Scottaline [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [[newbie] Icons to large] Date: Sat, Jan 1, 2000, 11:09 PM Jennifer Ricki Wise [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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 As root, try XF86Setup of xf86config. You can test BEFORE accepting new configurations.

I posted a question this morning about my second floppy, but it doesn't appear to have made it through. Anyway, how do I get my second floppy drive, my paraport zip+ 100 or my scanner to work in Mandrake 6 (or any Linux, for that matter). I'm willing to get the answers one at a time if it will be easier on y'all. BTW, I _have_ tried to find this info in the manuals and on the net. Floppy SHOULD be easy enough. Just copy your /dev/fd0 line in /etc/fstab to another line and change it to /dev/fd1. Paralell Port Zip+ will take some more work. Basically there's a module for it (sorry, don't know the name) that you have to install and put into fstab as well. I don't know if paralell port scanners are supported yet. I've heard of a util/driver called SANE, but I don't know much about it. John
Re: [newbie] Can't compile program
you'd probably do ./configure before make - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 28, 1999 1:38 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Can't compile program Once you uncompress the files, do this in a terminal window: make, then use make install. do this in the folder w/ all the .h (headers) and stuff in it. You should be looking for something w/ a .c extention. I too am a newbie, so please if am wrong about something, please show me up :) Jerrud ICQ: 13978481
Re: [newbie] kxicq
just use Licq which is stable and good, and will run fine on either GNOME or KDE - Original Message - From: James Schofield [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 1:17 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] kxicq I have seen that there is two ICQ clients out for Linux. One is Kicq for KDE and another is for GNOME. I like to use KDE as my Desktop.. but I notice that the KICQ project is still Alpha and is not getting a lot of support. The one for GNOME is STABLE and looks to be the better of the two to use. ANyone tried running the GNOME ICQ on a KDE desktop? ANyone tried both of these clients? ANyone running KICQ and find that it works pretty well and not to worry about it being unstable?? James

Partition Magic - Original Message - From: Tom Brett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 7:51 PM Subject: [newbie] Linux and windows98 Hello: I just bought a Compaq PC with a 13 Gb hard drive and pre-installed win98. Currently, the hard drive is set up with a 2 Gb partition and an 11 Gb partition (both win98). I would like to take part of the 11Gb partition (say 7 Gb) and set it aside for Mandrake Linux 6.0. How would I go about doing this without destroying what already exists on the hard drive? Thanks. -TB
