1) Gkrellm - how do I get it to check my mail@home. I have it bringing up netscape but how do I get it to actaully go into the mail part?
2) Gkrellm - how do I get it to show my mounted drives? Marked the enable /etc/fstab and even did this as root and nothing showed.
3)How do I get it to show my alasis instead of my actual hostname in Gkrellm?
4) How do I change from Grub loader to Lilo or do I want to? I really just need to change the default timeout 5 secs is not long enough for me.
5)Where do I add commands to be executed at boot up? I want it to automatically start imwheel and the set -o vi command so I can do more at CLI.
6)What does it mean when it boots and says
deleted inode #### something dtime.
7)How do I get users to be able to d/l and shutdown? Apparently when I installed I set( or rather the install set )the wrong security and now users can't do crap. Or how do I make my user a superuser or would that be just as bad and being root all the time?
8)How do I find out what ports are open and what using it?

Running Drake 7.2, I think everything mostly is installed.
Thanks for any assistance on these.

1) "netscape -mail"
2) I dont get the question.
3) No idea
4) Install lilo, it will kill grubs bootloader.
5) /etc/rc.d/rc.local (its harder if you do sysVboot)
6) The disk scanning found an error and fixed it.
7) Change group on the apps you want the users to be able to run or add the users to the programs group.

-f [or --force]: do what I say, even if it is stupid

2) I believe you need to enter what mount points you want to see.. The "show if mounted" option in the secondary tab is only for non-frequently used mount points (/floppy, etc.) so they don't show up if they're not mounted.
