Re: poor performance on 7.2

2001-11-11 Thread Gustav Schaffter
Then I'll have to chime in a 'me too'. I've done an upgrade on three PC's. Two from 7.1 to 7.2. One from 6.2 to 7.2. No changes of hardware in any of these. They now all feel as if someone had poured syrup into them. If it wasn't for ext3, I'd downgrade them. (I know it's possible to patch an e

easy demand dial in rh7.2?

2001-11-11 Thread dave-mlist
Has RH implemented some switch in the PPP configure GUI for configuring demand dialing? I have read the various demand dial HOWTOs for pppd, diald, and wvdial, but they all seem to circumvent the RH7.2 configure scripts. I'd like to do it the way RH meant for once... They've made so much automat

1) Are you local when trying to get rid of X? 2) How do you manage to get out of X to begin with to have this problem? 3) If you're in runlevel 3, then just flip to the tty that X is running on (default redhat setup would be to hit alt+f7 I think.. X runs on the tty right after the last one defi

Re: my font nightmare...

2001-11-11 Thread christopher j bottaro
i reinstalled 7.2 again, this time choosing "classic x windows" only. now the font problem is gone, i.e. both AA and no AA fonts work great. this whole situation still bothers me though because on every other machine i have installed 7.2 on (including the problematic machine in the past), i c

Hi all, I am trying to burrow in and recompile for a masquerade server for iptables and want to be able to have a printed copy of the file 'Config.help' that is in the source documentation. It seems that there are many formatting tags and I would like to be able to take advantage of these as th

Well sure, but that is not what I asked. For one the ISO's are buggy and have lots of out of date RPMS, not least the Kernel ones! Also, I already have the entire distribution and don't want to download it again. Finally, the distribution I have is up to date and can be installed from via FTP
