RE: [newbie] question about mandrake probs..
You're close. When you're looking at the screen and "top" is running you would type "k", and it will prompt you for the "PID". type in the number that you've mentioned and hit enter. There is another way that is far easier and that is if you've got a terminal window open type "kpm" and hit enter. When the program comes up find the CPU hog, right click on the little monster and choose "kill" from the menu. I love that program. kpm = KDE Process Management -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

Re: [newbie] question about mandrake probs..
Help!!! Okay, I just downloaded and installed Mandrake 7.2, but a problem quickly arose. I have no access to any of my drives except my zip (/dev/hdb4). My floppy drive, my DVD, and my CD-Writer don't work. When I go to open them I get a message telling me something about not having read/write priveleges for the device. This does it in root as well. How do I overcome this? Help me!!! Thanks in advance, Joe.

'kill -9 17' from 'man kill', DESCRIPTION kill sends the specified signal to the specified process. If no signal is specified, the TERM signal is sent. The TERM signal will kill processes which do not catch this signal. For other processes, if may be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal, since this signal cannot be caught. -- Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
[newbie] question about mandrake probs..
For months ive ran redhat 6 with no probs, but when i installed mandrake 7.2 it seems to take forever to boot up and once you get into kde it is slow, this only happens after i reboot as the initial boot works fine.. also it doesnt seem to hold my configuration for my dsl.. any ideas as to why it suddenly slows to a crawl after a simple reboot..

Re: [newbie] question about mandrake probs..
Well some people might now know what I mean by PID. Usually when you see underscores, it's meant to be one "thing", so "the_PID_of_the_program" is supposed to be only one option, in this case a number. Or at least that's the way I always interpreted it.
