2002-11-06 Thread Bill Winegarden
Hi again, I have experienced occasional crashes (freezes) in KMail and OO from a new LM9 install. Everything went cleanly on install. Anyway my question is. Is there a way to restart the programs after a freeze? It seems that I have to logout then login again before I can

[newbie] Permissions Problems?

2002-11-06 Thread H. Carter Harris
I'm having a couple of problems that I believe are permissions related. During my ML 8.2 install, Apache was also installed with all the defaults. I want to operate the server on a private IP address so I modified the NAT in my router to send all traffic on port 80 to the private IP. When I

When I go back into Mandrake control center-system-fonts, they do not show up thru there. I do have the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1 directories, and I was able to choose the new fonts in Gedit. Is there another place where I could check?
