Thanks for your help. -- Ryan Drafall gAIM S/N: Twygg1 Linux 2.2.14-15mdk This depends on the app you are starting, if you are starting the program anew or open another window (e.g. a new Netscape window). Tell me which apps you mean and I will try to give you an example, if it's possible (it is in many cases, but requires some fiddling about). tom -- "No fun, no gain" Thomas 'tom' Berger, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home), [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) http://www.mandrakeuser.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for responding to my question. First of all, whenever I start Netscape (in a new process), it NEVER opens in a maximized window. Also, when I'm in Netscape and let's say I right-click on a link and choose OPEN IN NEW WINDOW, the new window that gets created also NEVER opens maximized. It gets really annoying after a while. I also notice that all the other programs in WindowMaker do the same thing...that is, opening in an UNmaximized window. Thanks for your help. Ryan.

When downloading from the exact same site on a windows session, it downloads perfectly but doesn't even complete half-way on a linux session. If you need any more info, please ask.

[newbie] hard disk thrashing and modem problem...
Hello, After installing Mandrake7.0 perfectly yesterday and running it for the first time, I noticed some (what seemed to be unnecessary) hard disk thrashing. Even when no programs are running, every 3 or 4 seconds I can hear a little thrashing from the hard disk. Is this normal? Also, my modem will still not work. I've set up everything with linuxconf and stuff like that, but I still get "Sorry, Modem is Busy" error. I noticed that when I boot my 'puter to Linux, in the boot up process, it says "BRINGING UP INTERFACE PPP0-[FAILED]". I'm using a PII 300 MHz with 96 mb of RAM (which Linux recognizes totally), 6.4 gig, modem is a CPI ViVa 56LC-SM ISP PnP (non-winmodem, i think). I have disabled "PnP OS installed" option in the BIOS and I'm running a dual-boot win98se/linux machine with LILO as my boot loader. When I check how much of my swap partition (133 Mb) is in use, it says 130 Mb! Whereas, when it says how much RAM is in use, it says I have 2 Mb free out of 96mb!!! Shouldn't Linux be using a lot more swap file and not as much RAM? Thank you very much to any one who can help. Ryan.
[newbie] Linux won't recognize my 96 Mb of RAM...
Hello fellow Linux buddies, Everything went great with the install..however, it only recognizes that I have 64 Mb of RAM, when indeed, I really have 96 Mb of RAM. How do I get Linux to recognize the other 32Mb? Your response is greatly appreciated..Thanks. Ryan.

Also, there's way too much HD thrashing...even for opening some small-ass text editor it thrashes like crazy and takes like 15 sec. for it to load. My system is a PII 300, 96 Mb of RAM, 6.4 Gb HD, blah blah blah...if you need any more information, please ask. Thanks for your help. Ryan.
[newbie] can't get Kppp to dial using my modem...
Hello, I've set up Kppp with all the necessary adjustments and when I try to dial using my CPI ViVa 56LC-SM ISA modem (non-winmodem), it gives me an error messages saying "Sorry, modem busy". What can I do to make this work? If you need more info, please say so and I'll get back to you. Thanks for your help. BTW, you can talk to me (it may be easier) on AOL Instant Messenger...my screen name is Twygg1. Thanks again. Ryan.
