Problems about GNome

[archimon]

I have Mandrate Linux 8.0
In software manager I can see my apache and Somba is installed.
But clicking the mandrake menus I can never find them.

Please tell me how to lauch them!
thank you!

Erm, apache and samba aren't applications you can just run, they are servers which run as "daemons" in the background.

I think you can use ntsysv (think that's the command) to change what runs as a daemon, or look for the samba and apache files in /etc/rc.d/ and run:

apache start
samba start

Hope this works - I'm a bit wooly on this one because I haven't used Mandrake for a while.
