I thought Red Hat were pretty serious about the free issue compared to the other similar distributions. Granted, it has never occurred to me to inspect the license for Pine.
The problem with nvidia is that RH only have access to the binary - not the source. As such they will not install binary images into the kernel. There is no way they can support it for a start. To me this seems logical (Mr. spock).
So I'm like, ummm, `locate *config* | grep -i X' and I get this `redhat-config-X' thing which, believe it or not, actually starts an X server for you to configure using a graphical dialog. How things have changed ;)
There are several of these now, do a locate for 'redhat-config'. Some existed before, and personally I used the 'old ways' :-) Now, of course, I'll have use whatever is provided.
Some funny jiggery-pokery has happened to all my fonts, although I haven't had time to find out what yet.
Point to note is that some of the man pages, and perhaps other software, won't show correctly. The man pages have little squeares instead of hyphens (not all; just some). Check your LANG variable - you'll see it's UTF-8 now. I left this for a while, but it drove me nuts yesterday. I changed /etc/sysconfig/i18n to include 'LANG=en_GB'. It now all works like before. (Still got RH7.0 on my P133 at work, I'll be trying RH8.0 on a P350 soon hoping that it is 'reasonable' :-) ) John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key available from public key servers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
