NFS: How to Use?
Hi all, Relavent docs for dummies needed ;) I've set up using the nfs stuff in kde a shared folder on each of the two networked pcs. Is there a simple way to connect to those shared folders? - Some tool or GUI that I can use?

KDE Troubles with Resolution and Windows
Hi everyone, I've just installed RH9 and am having a spot of bother with KDE. The main thing is that since I changed my resolution from 1024 to 800x600 all my windows are very slightly off the screen on the right side. Can anyone help with that please? Secondly, I have no 'x' close button on any of my windows! It's very annoying and I just cannot find where to fix this Many thanks for any help here ;-) -- Nick W -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Very condecending. Whose, 'we'? You talk as if it's some kind of elite
group that I'm not a part of. Rather than wasting my time, just skip
questions if you feel they've been answered. Seeing as the errata only
came out yesterday I think it was quite reasonable to ask a question
directly of the list. If it has been answred before their was no real
harm in the question. It's not as if I'm asking the list how to use rpm
is it?

Could be a ssh1/2 thing?

Perfect. How come the rpm's don't sort that out? We're not all as
knowlegeable as you.
Thanks for the help.

What I mean is that I don't like having to type in te full path to the remote *and* the full path to the local every time I transfer. typical command looks like this right? $ scp path/of/files/to/upload/ :/path/to remote/server/blah whereas in ncftp id just type $ put -r dirname Maybe I misunderstand, feel free to correct me :-) > - -- - --- www.explodingnet.com |Projects, Forums and +Articles for website owners - -- Nick Wilson -- |and designers. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE8gTLLHpvrrTa6L5oRAtLTAJ4tmOEc+Cm3GwxU9YmaMSaF0rlZUwCfePuQ MdlSexodIpJVrK2ftw6KBA4= =vlNJ -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
licq help
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, not satisfied with the rpm on 7.2 I downloaded the latest version and followed the instructions to install. No problem. I think I may have ballsed it up a little as I get something along the lines of 'can't find the messge.wav file' on incomings. I'd like to *completely* uninstall and start a fresh. How? I've tried make uninstall but the problem persists when I install again?

Yep, I am an idiot. I was trying to do it without a fileame
(dirname.xip) Should have realized it would be similar to gzip. Doh!
Thanks guys...

Yes, I see your point, although when I mentioned being root I just meant
that I was the only one who had physical access to the machine.
My problem is that ssh and scp seem so cumbersome. Is there a ssh
equivalent to ncftp I might try?
Thanks for your help Ed and Gordon
