Sometime Today, RB cobbled together some glyphs to say: It's sad that even on a Free Software platform, proprietary software wins over Free Software because of daft distribution policies. I know, I know, the end user does not care about Freedom, only about ease of install and use. -- As a math atheist, I think I should be excused from this. --- Calvin, to Hobbes

Too many linux flavours cannot be installed together in one HDD and constant loading, reloading, formatting may damage its MBR or other sectors. My XP is the main OS where I do most of my computing like email, office, scanner, printing, surfing etc and important data is stored there. Even my linux downloads are done in XP which gives my modem above 5 Kbps speed. The linux free driver limits it to 1.5 Kbps. The vfat partition is then mounted in linux and the downloaded files are transferred. All linux related emailing is done in linux. The newbies cannot jump straight into complex settings and compilations in linux or for that matter any OS. They have to go step by step with the simpler options first and then go deeper and deeper. The information available from the experts here is most usefull and precious and I keep all the emails intact for future reference too. Best Wishes, Rony.

yeps.one can do that and it's great fun.I remember having Redhat,Mandrake,Fedora being on the same m/c. Pankaj

Yeps. But check his statement above "For *newbies* ,realplayer is the best bet" He hasn't disregarded other players. Pankaj

I hope someone out there has had this problem or atleast seen it, and can offer some help. The problem I am having is installing PostNuke on my FC3 system. I get to the point where it checks the file permissions and if just fails. I set the file permission to the recommended ones. And on top of that I tried changing the onwer of the directories. Still no joy. The respective directories are owned by apache and now all have perms of 777. Still my PostNuke is not seeing them as writable. I know the problem is not in PostNuke. Either some security feature in httpd or php because this is not the only php application that is having this problem. --simi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
