[Cooker] Drakfont problem

2001-12-09 Thread George Mitchell
I recently installed some fonts with drakfont. I discovered that drakfont chokes when selecting 'Add fonts' if the font path specified includes a directory name that has a space in it. Example: /home/user/My Fonts/ttfonts. Changing this to /home/user/My_Fonts/ttfonts solves the problem.

Its a text mode holdover from Unix antiquity. I think it has been there since day one. I don't ever remember seeing a Unix system without it. It is ALWAYS shipped empty with the OS and is there for the local administrator to use as required locally. Nguyen H.Vu wrote: I have tried Engarde

upgrades are notorious for wierd problems but I think a connection with disk audit problems would be unlikely, assuming your initscripts is current for 8.1. Hopefully someone on the list can spot some pattern here and come up with a solution. -George --- George Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED

I came across a couple of interesting showstopper quirks in an 8.1 install yesterday and just want to share them with you all. 1) I started with initial boot sequence in BIOS set incorrectly with CDROM in the sequence. This was incorrect since my CDROM is SCSI not IDE. Apparent result was that
