For whatever reason, the ownership of my /home/sher directory changed since yesterday from "sher" to "root." My guess is that installing a communications program called Seyon had something to do with it. After I changed the ownership back to "sher", things immediately returned to normal. I rebooted to test, renamed /home/sher/.Authority.old back to /home/sher/.Authority and now everything is fine. Thanks so much.

[newbie] FAT partition problem with Staroffice
Hello, I had a strange problem with Staroffice, it can't read my FAT partitions, even when there rightly mounted and can explore them with xterm. I found a solution : it's to mount the FAt partitions in a directory of which the name don't have a CAPITAL letter(s) (what did Mandrake 6.1 /mnt/DOS_hdxx) I mount them to /mnt/dos_hdxx and it works fine (eventually edit the /etc/fstab) May this help someone !

Re: [newbie] Getting rid of KDE
You can use kdm , xdm or better desktopcfg may this help you ! Younes Zouhair Le Wed, 05 Jan 2000, vous avez écrit : Hi, How do I switch out of KDE and into something like FVWM2? I tried to avoid installing any KDE but some app needed it and I couldn't find the app in the list of software to be installed so went ahead and told it to "resolve the dependencies" which resulted in KDE being installed. I remember having chosen a handful of other window managers, among them fvwm or fvwm2. Under fvwm2 you can right click and from a menu choose to switch to a different windowing system. Where is this feature in KDE? There is a place in the setup where certain groups of apps don't open up when you hit the spacebar. Perhaps the app I missed which would have allowed me not to have installed KDE was in one of those sections. Perhaps not... Anyway...
