Then make sure to edit/etc/lilo.conf and check to see if it is to your liking. If not, edit then run: lilo OTH, if you are using grub, I'm not familiar with it but the idea is the same. Edit config file, and run the program that modifies the boot loader.
Well, the cool thing with grub is you DON'T have to go thru those steps.
There are some who are, but that is not the point.
The point is you didn't get it. You dont compile anything for the livecd. You take the iso, shove it in your burner, boot from the resulting CD-ROM, watch the init messagesscroll by, start X and play UT2003. Then you turn off your computer.
If you include such a restriction in your license, that decision is already made. You don't want your product to be used to kill _anyones_ neighbors and/or family.
If you take that back, "your" sides' military will go out and kill those who killed your neighbors, killing someone elses' neighbours in the process.
The argument of killing someone to prevent other killings is flawed.
It all has to do with how the fonts are hinted, constructed, tweaked and tuned. It's a painful process, even for professionals who spend their work hours producing fonts.
Actually, with professional fonts it's more like months or years.

I find Helvetica to be a nice "replacement" for Arial. (Originally it was the other way around.) and Verdana, too. On a side note anything is a good replacement for Times New Roman *shudder*
I was thinking about googling for that just before I posted, but then I thought, no, even though the "Super" part hints an earlier, non-Super version existed, some/.ter will surely have the kindness of pointing that fact out to me.

Can someone please take their time to explain to me why the words "linux" and "kernel" are contained in the above post?
The only explanation I can think of is those words automagically alter the probability of acception and posting of ones` submission to slashdot, in much the same way the words FREE and ENLARGEMENT alter the probability of e-mail ending up at/dev/null.
They ape Windows no more than they "steal" from the Mac, and for example the "drawer" scroll-out thingie from GNOME is from OS/2. Also, I think it is perfectly legal to do it, because those OSes have had a lot of money put in to ensure good useability. (Wether they succeded is another thing, and the GNOME HIG earned a lot of flames too...)
In fact, I found it hard to make KDE look good, and not look like OSX at the same time. All the themes have Crystal and Aqua all over them.
Although I must say that other windowmanagers like E or *box are way more fun IMO and have a better "this is linux" feel. They lack "Integration" though, and you spend more time to get it to do what you want than with the desktops.
24.Q. How does GNOME compare to CDE? A. CDE [...] provides a consistent graphical user interface for UNIX workstations. GNOME leapfrogs CDE in [...] visual design.
25.Q. How does GNOME compare to Microsoft Windows? A. GNOME is an open, free, and productive desktop environment that sparks innovation and excitement among users and developers worldwide. Microsoft Windows is not.
I have been using RH since 6.0, and the upgrade to any of the 6.x releases broke a lot of stuff and was very annoying to fix. Then i reinstalled anew with 7.0, the upgrade to 7.1 still broke a few things, but was generally bearable. 7.2 to 7.3 was okay, and 8.0 was really easy.
So if the keep up that pace, upgrading to 9.0 should go just peachy.
x.0 is regarded as a technology preview ("hey, we put lots of exciting new stuff in, and we're still working out what we broke!")
Yes, this is a rule of thumb for Open Source Software in general.
But RedHat are right now officially selling a dotzero release, and they are not calling it a public beta, you get support and all. They do offer public betas free for download (like they did with Null and are doing now with Limbo IIRC), but they offer _no support_ for that.
One of the major reasons to choose RedHat is their reliability. Thouroughly tested software you can rely to have on your server for at least a year without having to worry about it except for bug- and securityfixes.
Ok, 7.1 is rather old, but discontinuing support for 8.0?
IMO professional distros should always support their latest, and their last major release, so in RedHats case 8.x and 7.3, and not drop support for 7.3 until 9.0 is out.
After all, support is, like, the thing theiy make money in the first place!
Well, next time you configure your kernel remember to make IDE support modular, and dont use initrd. Alternatively, or if you use SCSI, leave out that useless "ext2 filesystem support".
Watch the panic.
Other nice things include removing/dev/null and replacing it with a regular -r--r--r-- file. (won't panic, but won't boot either, and rather hard to track down....).

Baghdad is old.
It has been old when the Bible was written.
It has survived a lot of wars. It will survive this war.

I would not.

Isn't that a risky step to take? After all (I guess) they have a copyright on the content of msn.com, and Opera is actively defacing their site.
Won't they (i.e. MS) sue?

I don't think that is true.

Thanks for the link.
And if you read on, there are two nice other FAQ:
24.Q. How does GNOME compare to CDE?
A. CDE [...] provides a consistent graphical user interface for UNIX workstations.
GNOME leapfrogs CDE in [...] visual design.
25.Q. How does GNOME compare to Microsoft Windows?
A. GNOME is an open, free, and productive desktop environment that sparks innovation and excitement among users and developers worldwide.
Microsoft Windows is not.
Apples to oranges to the point.
"Try to do it (hijacking) with GNOME and see what's happened."
Hmm, which rendering engine would they possibly want to hijack from GNOME?
gtkhtml? Its so buggy its dead.
and galeon uses the mozilla engine, which is not GPL. Also, it is already available for the mac.
And I doubt somehow the apple people would expect to get anything useful from nautilus.
I would.

from the post: it fixes some important security problems (under Windows) for the Windows version.
I wonder... does this mean there are some security problems left in the Windows Version under OSes other than Windows?
