Please help a linux newbie

well, if your first post's error message is word for word. You are having problems because zip, not unzip, isnt in your path. All you need to do is install it. I found a copy of zip-2.3-8.i386.rpm at rpmfind.net. Try installing that and then running the app again...

Can't browse network in Mandrake 8.1?

This is just a guess, but check the properties of that icon and see what it is actually trying to connect to. For instance. opening up a browser and typing in localhost will do nothing if an http server is not running. If you want that icon to connect you to the public share on localhost, make...

Is there a way to change the swap file size created with druid during installation in Redhat 7.1?

i think it depends. Did you do a "cookie cutter" type install? ie. workstation, server? or did you do custom? If you did pick the "cookie cutter", i'd say write down the mountpoints and the sizes, then hit back and choose custom. You can then choose the same mountpoints but add more space here...

rereading the posts... You can unzip files from the command line, you just cant get the KDE archive application to work? I think we were all going off in the wrong direction then...

install linux on a XP system???

the two .isos are all there is to grab. Burn em and pop em in your cd drive. reboot and go for it. Explain a little bit about how you want or need to restore the system? Do you mean you want to restore the system to pre-installation state? If so, then there really isnt much to do, just fdisk...

Linux on a Windows CE Pocket PC PDA (Cassiopeia E115)

It seems that the pocketlinux site has fallen behind a bit since i had been there last. You may want to try subscribing to the mailing list and asking on there. A couple posts i had seen in their archives led me to believe that maybe the port to Casiopeia hasnt been completed yet...

Linux on a laptop with display headaches

Personally, I'd also skip the X configuration during the install. You can always install the drivers afterwards. Also, did you check dell.com for drivers? They had some for my i8000 with an ati vidcard.

Qt vs. GTK

Some developers like the fact that QT is very "clean" as compared to GTK. I'm sure there are various theories to this, but I'd probably say that this is because TrollTech is a commercial venture. If people cant use QT effectively, then they wont be in business for very long. There are also...

How do I change the Screen resolution in Radhat 7.1???

Do you have multiple resolutions specified in your XF86Config-4? If so, just press "alt" + "ctrl" + "+" to increase it and "alt" + "ctrl" + "-" to decrease it. If not, you may want to run Xconfigurator. Hopefully your setup isnt that unusual or you may need the specs on your hardware.

install linux on a XP system???

Recent distributions of linux (which includes RH 7.2) are smart enough not to mess up your MBR and are quite happy to live on a system with more than one operating system. It *will* modify your MBR, but grub (which i suggest you install instead of lilo) will give you both operating systems to...

Please help a linux newbie

You can type the entire path in your command string. ie, if you are trying to use unzip, and it's located in /usr/bin, you can type /usr/bin/unzip <filename>. One more thing, can you type "echo $PATH" and post the resulting string? I find it strange that you dont already have access to /usr/bin...

How do I choose my window manager in Mandrake?

did you put "wmaker" or "exec wmaker"? I'd think that editting the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc would make the change globally. That is, every user on your system would use wmaker instead of individual users making the choice. If you couldnt find .xinitrc (notice the dot in front of the filename) in...

Linux REAAALLY SLOW

it's an intrusion detection system. basically, it takes a snapshot of a filesystem and notifies you when something has changed.

Some misc *nix questions

And if you can, try to support Loki @ www.lokigames.com by buying a game or two. They really need the help and the linux community is much better off with them than without them.
