Smart machine. Did you remember to run /sbin/lilo after you made the changes in lilo.conf? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

A "depmod -a " will make the warning go away, however I doubt it's the problem. Are you certain that you are starting the eth0 interface at boot? In linuxconf there should be a little check box for it. Or check that you are running networking (ntsysv). > 2.

Most X servers store the mouse cursor in the last part of memory so I suspect that either your X server beleives it has more memory than it really does, there somthing wrong with the last bit of video ram, or your X server doesn't handle the card correctly. What sort of card do you have? The Option "sw_cursor" will generally "fix" the problem, however. Are you sure you are putting it in the right place? Often X configuration programs have a dumy entry or two as examples XF86Config. In addition I not entirely certain that the syntax is the same for all the various X servers. Look for an entry like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Cirrus CL-GD5428" VendorName "Cirrus" BoardName "CL-GD5428 Option "sw_cursor" EndSection Check the release notes for your chipset for more info http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/index.html -- I'm not looking for much in a woman.

I'm not familiar with xfce so someone else will have to answer that one. HTH, Dave -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
6.2 problems
Hi all, I just installed 6.2 on a machine and have found a few minor problems to fix. 1.The first is networking when the machine boots and I log on and run ifconfig eth0 doesn't showup. However if I just look at the basic host info in linuxconf and then type ifconfig eth0 shows up and I can telnet and ftp on my intranet. I checked ntsysv and it shows that network should start automatically. In my log I found this message which may be the source of the problem ismod:Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/module/2.2.14-5.0/modules.dep If found the card and setup the addresses with the install but I used linuxconf to set the machine name so this may have caused the problem. 2. I would like lilo to default to dos as this machine is used mostly for scanning and printing photos I also use it to practice linux to linux and linux to windows networking stuff before I do them at work I tried changeing lilo.conf default=dos but it still booted linux. Smart machine. (I will be thrilled when corel Draw and my scanner work with linux so I can scrap windoze but for now...) 3. In xfce I get a huge square for a cursor. I tried to add Option "sw_cursor" to the configuration file but I either have the wrong syntax, the wrong place, or the wrong file as it doesn't help. Thanks Linda Also Thanks for everyones help with the hard drive so far it is working fine if it happens again I will try the bad block check. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
