[newbie] The silly question
I have an application on CD I want to install in Mandrake. I can explore the files of the CD and I can see the installer, but I do not see what to do with it. I should have guessed it was like in Windows where one clicks on the icon and an installer window displays. What should I do in here? Teilhard Knight The Extraterretrial Who ate my sandwich?

You will need to tell us its extension. Some application have installation instructions in the compressed file. If that is so, you will be able to look inside it with Arkiver.

Re: [newbie] New silly Question. ;) Recommend good file manager?
Hey Femme. I think what you're looking for is ROX. Somebody asked me on #mandrake what file manager I use. You know I'm a console man, so my answer was xterm. However, somebody else came up with the option of ROX. It's pretty simple, but you can set up defaults to open up certain file types, and it is GUI of course. I've installed it, but have only played with it breifly. It looks nice, and appears to be pretty functional though. Check it out, it may be what you're looking for in E. But keep in mind you can still use your other file managers in E. You can run Konqueror in if you'd like. http://rox.sourceforge.net/rox_filer.php3 Hope that helps! tdh -- T.

Hi, I need a semi-decent one. KDE uses Konqueror, and I tried GWC?... for enlightenment. I hated GWC *or whatever its called*. Any ideas? :) I also can't find any good file manager. Waiting for Windows Commander to be ported to Linux, but in the meanswhile I settled with Emelfm. You can also try gentoo. goo luck Roman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Haven't paid attention to this thread -- has anyone recommended Midnight Commander? It's quite useful for me, but I don't like the default colors and I can't even set the colors to my preference. But, if you use Midnight Commander on SourceForge, the color is just perfect (black text on a white background -- best I could do was black text on a gray background). (Aside: I've been trying to find out how SourceForge did that -- I suspect they compiled their own version -- I will probably make some attempt to get a copy of their binary -- if others were interested that might help.)

Re: [newbie] New silly Question. ;) Recommend good file manager?
Yeah, I've just switched to KDE 3.0, which I like better than Gnome 1.4. Perhaps Gnome 2.0 will be better. I usually prefer Gnome as I find it faster than KDE, but 3.0 is much faster IMO than 2.2 was. Of course, I think KDE 3.0 caused my hard-drive to crash (not really, I just need to blame someone :P).

Nautilus can be reasonably fast if you turn off the superfluous features. Nautilus in GNOME2 is much faster than the GNOME 1.4 version. GNOME can be quite fast if you opt to use GMC instead of Nautilus as the desktop manager (or better yet, don't use anything).

Re: [newbie] New silly Question. ;) Recommend good file manager?
I use XWC , although it's seems to have stopped development, I still think it's great! It should be on cd 3 if I remember correctly. Nautilus looks good, but if far to heavy in my opinion. That actually countsfor Gnome too. That's why I switched to Fluxbox. Actually, the whole fluxbox uses as much memory as just the panel in Gnome :-) On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, James Thomas wrote: Nautilus in Gnome isn't bad, it's just resource intensive and full of a lot of fluff you don't need - just use the options to disable it and you'll find it's not bad at all.
