Two questions

[eejit]

1.) Suddenly can't paste from an editor into Forum on netscape...but can cut and paste from one editor to another.

Any ideas?

2.) How does the rescue thingie work when you boot from the Mandrake CD? What I want to know is:
does linux (any distro) have something akin to NT/w2k's repair function? That is, the second repair option that let's you re-install without changing you settings?

If not, how does one fix an installation with seemingly inexplicable bogons happening in it?

1) If you click into the text area with the middle button (or left+right if you don't have a middle button), it will paste the last highlighted text from any X program.

2) I don't know if it will work on Mandrake, but try the the "syslinux" command.

I know the text should paste like that, and it did the other times i've set up this box (an nearly infinite number of times in the last week, it seems).

But this time, with nearly everything now working, i CANNOT paste into Netscape.

This is also why I want to know about re-installing while keeping settings, 'cause I'm getting tired of having to go through it all again every little problem.
