Re: [expert] LM 8.0 -- WINBOND/SMSC IO detection error in console

Re: [expert] menudrake doesn't change menus

Re: [expert] menudrake doesn't change menus

Ok, now i'm really confused. menudrake is now working fine for me. I did upgrade to the latest "normal" updates and upgraded xalf to version xalf-0.4-4.1mdk to fix a different problem. I'm CERTAIN i'm not using menudrake any differently, so something must have fixed it. Ken

Re: [expert] menudrake doesn't change menus

Just to answer a couple of the messages i received. 1) i use gnome, not kde. Shouldn't matter, but maybe there's some weirdness. I haven't tried to see if the menu's in kde change (i didn't install it so i can't run it), but i have tried icewm and it hasn't changed either. 2) i did make

[expert] menudrake doesn't change menus
