Re: [newbie] StareOffice 5.1 install

I'm having the exact same problem. I unistalled the rpm and tried again and I finally got the icon on the kde panel, but not in the menu system. When I re-login as a regular user, the icon is gone. Do I have to run the setup for each user? Is this a matter of group rights? TZ - Original

Re: [newbie] sound card install and video adjustments

[newbie] XF86Config? Where is it?

Hello, I can't find XF86Config. Where would this program reside? Does it get installed with the standard Workstation install? Thanks, Tony Z.

Re: [newbie] XF86Config? Where is it?

I guess my problem is that I did a "workstation" install which doesn't include X86 config utility. TZ - Original Message - From: M Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 15, 1999 1:03 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] XF86Config? Where is it? If you see

Re: [newbie] dual boot setup

Ernie, Thanks. I'm doing everyting the same as you did. I set LILO loader from linuxconfig program in KDE, but I'm not going into Linux when I choose Linux from the menu during boot. I think the problem may be that lnx4Win.exe (which was installed in Windows98) is in the autoexec.bat and

Re: [newbie] Changing Graphics and setup programs

Hello, Thanks for the reply. I found some Q/A on the internet stating that SiS chips don't run with Linux. I'll probably just get another video card that does work. I see 2Mb ATI PCI cards on eBay for $10. How do I re-run the setup to install a new video driver? (or anything else...I still
