First, thnx 4 the help at the meeting of the TLUG.=20
Went home, installed V1.0 and it went in like clockwork on a seperate =
partition. Recognised all hardware and installed all the necessary =
drivers from its own database. GUI is cool and I am 100% sold, even =
though I am using the newbie version of Linux.
I have onboard sound and graphics although I have an NVidia graphics =
card installed in an expansion slot. How do I switch so that the =
seperate graphics card kicks in? At present, I have set the onboard =
graphics to draw 8 Megs of RAM but the card runs at 64 Megs. =
Consequently, I would prefer to use the card. I suppose I could up the =
amount of RAM the onboard graphics uses but the card is way better.
I presume setting up the internet connection simply requires me to =
configure Mozilla to my existing settings which I have done many times =
before; e-mail client ditto. How do I create an icon to access the =
e-mail client on the desktop? Or do I simply open Mozilla and navigate =
from there?
BTW, I frequent websites such as blacksun.box.sk, New Order and =
Astalavista. Seems the hacker elite all use Linux or Unix OS's...hmmm...
cheers
Paul
ps Duncan: I was the grey haired newbie sitting down the front if you =
are looking for names.
pps I noticed a biker in the group. What do you ride? I run a Honda =
Hornet a Yam XJ 900 and I have a Bonnie T140E (in bits).
