Re: [expert] What is WRONG with konqueror?!

2001-01-10 Thread Dave Sherman
It looks like konqueror does not understand either the MIME type or simply the extension of the file. Have you tried changing the file associations so that *.asp is treated the same as *.html? Just a thought. Dave On Wednesday 10 January 2001 12:39, you wrote: > I am running Mandrake 7.2, ker

I can confirm that Linus himself has said people should not be compiling their kernel from /usr/src/linux, but rather they/we should do the compile in our own home directory. However, I myself have only done my recompiles in /usr/src (I read about the Linus statement after my last kernel recom

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I run drakupdate every Monday religiously, although I don't subscribe to the security list for Mandrake. But I think I will now. Dave On Thursday 18 January 2001 10:59, you wrote: > On Thu Jan 18, 2001 at 09:59:15AM -0800, Dave Sherman wrote: &

2001-02-03 Thread Dave Sherman
This sounds like an outstanding idea! Maybe you should also make sure that it reads win.ini, system.ini, config.sys, autoexec.bat, etc. There are still lots of machines out there that use these files for some of their setup, devices, drivers and even apps. Dave > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >

nts. Just select a few that you want, and install them, If you need more later, add them. Remember, every font is placed in memory when your system starts up -- the more fonts you have, the longer it takes to boot, and the slower your system will be when running. Dave Sherman SoftServ Business
