Ya know, I never even noticed the trash bin in Evolution. Vince Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Help with Evolution
I'm assuming Evolution is looking at the permissions on the signature file itself (or the directory it's in?). I don't think it's Evolution itself that is telling you you don't have permissions. Check the file permissions. Perhaps you moved or created the file as root? As far as putting a line through deleted messages... This is a simple security feature to allow you to recover messages you didn't mean to delete. It puts a line through until you expunge the folder (CTRL-E). That way, if you realize you didn't want to trash a message, you just undelete it. If you don't like this behavior you could always just create a folder called Trash and move messages you want to get rid of there. You'll still have to go to that folder and do a select all then delete them but at least they'll be out of the main folders. Also, if you go to Tools -> Mail Settings -> Other (tab) you'll see a check box for Empty Trash Folders on Exit. If you choose this messages with a line through them will be deleted automatically at exit. Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] making new launch-icons on desktop in gnome
Yeah, you can just drag the icon from the menu to the desktop.

Re: [newbie] Intro and E-Mail client??
Hey all, I just installed Ximian Gnome last night and noticed that the installer now has an option to install only Evolution. Therefore, if you're interested in using Evolution and want the most recent version without having to install all of Ximian Gnome and without waiting for Mandrake to release an updated RPM, just do it this way. I see people have commented that Evolution has some bugs. From my experience 1.05 seems to fix everything I had noticed in previous versions. One hitch though, you're best off deleting all your Evolution preferences before starting with the new version. The reason I say this is because the problem with Evolution not trashing deleted messages on exit remains in 1.05 unless you start clean. Then it's gone. I don't know why. I'd like to figure out if there's a single file you can delete to fix this. Hey, if anyone knows fill me in. ;) Vince Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] sound record and playback
Have you tried Sound Recorder? It's in the Multimedia -> Sound menu (obviously). The actual name of the program that it launches is grecord, so if you don't have it there already just do a urpmi grecord and you should be all set. By the way, I've never used this application. I imagine it'll do what you need though.

You can also check out Bochs (pronounced box). I've never used it so I'm not sure how well it works.

Re: [newbie] Divx movies -- yes or no?!
DivX is not the same as the now defunct Circuit City DVD competitor wannabe Divx. DivX (also called DivX:), I believe it is) is a form of video compression. So no, you can not play your Circuit City Divx disc on Linux (or anywhere else for that matter). At least you have a nice Abyss coaster. ;) Vince On Fri, 2002-05-31 at 15:44, Miark wrote: > Ralph Slooten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> saith: > > > By "old Divx movies.." you are referring to DivX 3.x ? > > I have _The_Abyss_ here.

In the menu, go to Networking -> Remote Access -> Virtual Network Connection Here you'll be able to control someone's system or allow someone to control yours.
