Looks like rh is trying to handle it automatically through the startup script, which isn't working... why they decided to stop including documentation is a mystery, though (a very microsoftian way of doing things; it's great if it works, if not it's going to cost you a lot of time/money to figure out why your easy to use os isn't easy to use). I'd bitch to rh about this.
No, there is money to be made there, just not
'the sky is pissing money' money (and companies who model their business plan around the possibility of the sky pissing money end up on fuckedcompany.com soon enough).
...instead have to use the undocumented ttmkfdir. Now try telling me that was easy.
Oddly enough, the fs distributed with redhat has this file in/usr/doc/XFree86-fs-x.x.x called USAGE, with the line:
"For TrueType font files, `fonts.scale' files are best built with Joerg Pomnitz' `ttfmkfdir' utility."
Pretty damn tough, I'd say. There should be a splash screen when you boot up saying "USE ttfmkfdir", every linux site should contain those words somewhere on the front page and it should be printed under the instructions on a box of toothpicks, to insure that it's found by the people who need it.
No, the problem is Corel isn't making money on anything. The fact that they're considering *selling* their linux operations (and not just tossing them) would suggest that there's something to be made from them.
This is not to say that an open source or free software based business is going to make as much as Microsoft, but if they did make 3 million dollars from linux offerings this quarter, then there obviously is a market to be targetted for a company that isn't horribly mismanaged.
Aside from the stuff already mentioned (overheating cpu, bad mem, windows problems with >400mhz amd), I have seen a few mb/processor combinations that just won't work (usually cheap mb's). You could try stepping down the speed of the cpu (in which case, the cpu could be defective), or trying to clock down the fsb to 66mhz (if you're doing 100mhz... especially if you don't have 100mhz mem;), but it might be worth a try... if that works, and you do have 100mhz ram, see if you can find an upgrade from the mb manufacturer.
FWIW, I've been running a k6-2 300 on a tmc mb for a few years without a hitch (moving to duron soon:)

It's probably a ploy to sell more tech support

Yeah, 10% of 36.4 million == 0 dollars.
Hey, maybe this could be the solution to the abortion issue...

Sorry, but because you misspelt you're, your slashdot post has been invalidated.
Yeah, the bit about taking a few extra hours is
a good point... after all, slashdot is always there with the breaking news...
a few weeks later.
(ok, sometimes a few years later)
Then again, maybe it's a stupid point, but it would involve a little effort in a place where they can't even be bothered to use a spellchecker.
Q: What are you going to do now, George?
A: I'm gwan to Clumbia!!!
