First of all my linux machine isn't a production machine, in fact it probably can't even qualify as a development machine either. It sits idle for the majority of the time as I tinker with various aspects in an attempt to learn something about Linux. I have noticed though after loading a

[newbie] CHanging WindowManager

2002-02-17 Thread JSheble
Just out of curiosity I thought I'd take a look at some of the other WindowManagers that come with LM8.1. I did not originally install them when I installed LM though. So using the Software Manager in the Mandrake Control Center I installed Blackbox. Now however, I'm completely unsudre how to

Thank you, this did what I needed... So what do I need to do to get Blackbox running as my defauly WindowManager so I can check it out, then switch back to Gnome when I want to??? If you're using the 'startx' approach instead of gdm/kdm, I don't think you can change WMs on the fly (although

RE: [newbie] KDE and Gnome

2002-02-05 Thread JSheble
I'm not suer I count since I only tinker with Linux from time to time, but when and if I ever run in X, I use Gnome. It's way faster (at least on my machine it is) and I like the way it looks and behaves better than KDE... Am I the only one on the list who uses Gnome? It looks like everyone

2002-02-01 Thread JSheble
There appear to be literally thousands of applications that get installed when you install Mandrake 8.1. I chose the expert level install, and thought I was being real good about choosing which packages to install and which one not to install. But now I'm not so sure... it appears I missed
