finally!!!

[paully1]

Dam, finally got slack 7.1 and gnome both running. I reinstalled everything and it started working. I was fighting with it for 2 weeks hehe. anyways I have a couple questions.

1:
Are there any user manuals for sawmill/sawfish? I tried the website but it didn't really have anything that was a users manual.

2:
Whats better enlightenment or sawmill? I used enlightenment for a couple months but will use sawmill if it's more powerful/flexible.

3:
I still need to get my cable modem setup(@home) I have the info from winipcfg but not sure how to do it(i think i put in the wrong host name). Any other @home users want to help?


thanks
paul

slack is da shiznit http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

make sure the NIC is installed

then simply do a dhcpcd -h <hostname> and wait for root CL prompt to return and u will be connected to the net http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
u can add this to a startup file but i dont remember off hand so it will auto connect

but i dont do that as sometimes i dont want my net active when im doing system stuff http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
i use @home thats how i do it

Sawfish/mill/whatever is more transparent than E. I don't really see it being really spectacular on it's own. E OTOH, likes to control everything and works well for GNOME and as a standalone WM.

Speedwise, Saw* is much better.

hey lawn i fixed that password problem in the qt-gui-1.0 plugin for licq

I use at home.try using netconf choose static instead of dhcp.Input your hostname,ip,gatewa and one dns server(you can add another by editing /etc/resolv.conf).If you dont want to be online all the time su to root andin a term enter ifconfig eth0 down.
