Hi again,
As per my previous email, I have upgraded gnome but it's slightly (not
horribly) sluggish opening windows etc. Are there some tips that people have
to speed it up? I know a few tricks in Windoze like turning of menu features

Hi all,
In the course of making a new kernel, when I run "make modules_install", can I
specify a target directory to install modules to instead of /lib/modules?
Thanks,

Hi all,
A quick question. Does anyone know how I can send an email in a

When connected to the net you should have one default route (0.0.0.0/0) via
your ppp0. If the route table looks stuffed, disable any eths, restart the
network service and check the default route again. Delete the bad route, add
the right one.

Hi Matthew,
I understand that I don't actually need to remove the route. Not at the
moment anyway. But not having the choice about whether the route is there or
not smacks of products from another well-known OS company.
