[Scribus] suse 90 and 91 with RC1 rpms

2004-08-20 Thread b...@solozone.com
The download page shows an rpm good for suse9.1 while the src.rpm is good for 9.0 and 9.1 (it says in the explanation). I do source, of course, CVS, so it is no matter to me ; but is this correct: The rpm will not go into suse9.0 or prior? bart at solozone.com

[Scribus] altkey or F12 fro special chars

2004-07-29 Thread b...@solozone.com
On lap tops, Alt- may cause problems with the numeric key pad. Enabling these by Fn, if that exists, depends on the make and model. Does ANYBODY use the numeric keypad on the big key boards? I use one right now and I have NEVER hit its right most keys! Actually F12 seems like a bright idea. bar
