Hallo,
sitting at my newly installed RH5 computer the other day I realised how
little I really know about this and how many questions I have that
aren't easily to be answered by man'ing all over the place. maybe
someone will take mercy on me and answer at least some of them.
1. In X why does the default menu offer me New Shell and give me only
an xterm? Is this right? I would have expected to get a submenu
displaying other shell names to be installed.
2. Is there a mode in which I can see and possibly confirm the files
read and loaded during booting. Something like 95's confirm mode, I
mean.
3. When I start xfm a second window containing the text No configured
applications appears. I can't get rid of it without closing xfm. Aslo in
xfm the View menu item doesn't work, even with files I know to be text.
4. Can the control panel be resized so that all buttons are visible at
once? On a 15inch screen they're much too large and quite ugly.
5. Is possible to place the scroll bar at the right of the emacs screen?
6. On calling up X I get a message X Banner message "Your text is
probably too wide" What does this mean? and how can I get rid of it?
7.Why do I get an x-console and what is it good for? Where can I switch
it off?
8. When I'm in X and use xfm to cd to a directory why isn't my open
xterm also in the same directory?
and finally the most frustrating one of all,as it means I can't install
anything from the "outside world".
9.In the User Mount tool (Start ->Programs->Administrator-> Disk
Management) trying to Mount floppy (is type ext2 correct?) gives "wrong
fs type, bad block or too many mounted file systems". I get the same
message when I mount by hand from an xterm with mount -t msdos /dev/fd0
and when I remove file systems from the dialog box. Also although
/dev/cdrom is given as type iso 9660 and mounted I still can't ls it. It
gives with ls /cdrom "no such file or directory"
man, have I got problems !! Any nice person know any answers?
thanks in advance
Gordon Filby
