to use unrar in Fedora (core 4) simply do as follows

 

I installed 9.3 with minimal x environment. Then I did a kernel upgrade. Then I restarted again and told

the installer to give me a Gnome environment. When I still got TWM, I installed again and asked for a

KDE graphical system. I kept getting /tmp/X0.#!$ is running. So I su to root and rm /tmp/X0.*orWhatever.

Then I startx as root and get the red danger screen in kde. I shutdown -r now.

Then I put startkde in ~/.xinitrc/ and whenever I reboot, I still start with red danger kde.

 

I go into Yast System>sysconfig Editor>... and change from TWM to KDE. I also make KDE the

DEFAULT_WM and setup to reboot with kde for all and set the default start user as me.

I save and reboot. I am now me just a User in kde Suse 9.3 but still with a red danger kde screen.

When I click on console terminal just right of the Suse emblem at the bottom left it comes up as

me not root.

 

What might I have done wrong or left out?

How do I check the privledges of me?

Can anyone say or ask me anything to help solve this?

Thanks,

NewSu

Hi,

I just loaded SuSe Linux on a second hard drive about a week ago. As I don't want to get rid of Windows XP (on my other hard drive) entirely, I have been switching hard drives physicly when I wanted to switch. I was hoping that I could leave both hard drives in the whole time and it would give me the option of where to boot to. Does anyone know how I can do that?

 

Thanks in advance,

Greeves
