Oddly enough, I type in XF86Setup and it says that there is no such thing. I installed Linux-Mandrake 6.0 but it's not there. How do I install it separately? Thanks. -- bgf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The other configurator (if you chose to install it in the X section of install) is XF86Setup

Re: [newbie] White box for mouse

Maybe a bit more info on the mouse would help. I have a Logitech 4-button Mouseman+ with the scroll wheel. I've been picking Mouseman+ PS/2 during installation. Should I be picking something else? It seems to be working fine, it's just that in X it's a big white box. Weird. -- bgf bgf wrote

[newbie] Install on Toshiba Satellite 2540CDS

Now I know already that I won't be able to get the modem to work. But I remember that I had found, a few weeks ago, a step-by-step install piece for putting Linux on a Toshiba Satellite 2540CDS laptop. Anyone know where I might find it again? Thanks. -- bgf mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] Video Card/Monitor Problems

I figured that it would be at least close to the latest as it's a fairly new distro. I'll check it out and see what I can find. Although, I'm not sure how I would go about getting it on my machine when I can't get it running right. Oh well. Living and learning. -- bgf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote

Re: [newbie] Linux on your laptop

this sort of thing? I wish I knew the first frigging thing about coding--I would start working on it. But, alas, I am a bonehead about such things. Oh well, have to go back to trying to get Linux running properly on my desktop. -- bgf Theo Brinkman wrote: Check out 'http://www.cs.utexas.edu

Re: [newbie] Linux on your laptop

I have seen this, I was just wondering if anyone had made a clean install on my specific machine. I'll probably dive in and give it a go anyway, but I was curious if anyone had blazed the trail. Linux.org doesn't list the Satellite 2540CDS specifically. -- bgf Lorenzo Jimenez wrote: Hi

[newbie] Installing Version 5.3 on laptop

Specifically, I'm thinking of installing Linux-Mandrake 5.3 on a Toshiba 2540CDS with 96 of RAM. I'm curious if anyone has tried this and ifthere is anything special that I need to know about this. Thanks. -- bgf [EMAIL PROTECTED]
