Which is better
I am using Kdesktop but in some tutorials it say that i should use gnome. So can someone tell me which is better? and i already have gnome installed, how do i open it?
And another question, i have windows installed in another HD, how do i make it.... for Lilo to open Linux or choose to open Windows? The second question is the most important. And another question to. i have a Microsoft Optical Mouse by Starck. but the roller doesnt work. in the tutorials it says to use xf86config, but in my case it doesnt have that command |
Can't answer your first question, as I use KDE.
I have Windows on my second hard drive, this is how I configure Lilo to open it: # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = Slackware10.2 read-only # Linux bootable partition config ends # Windows bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hdb1 label = win98 table = /dev/hdb map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 # Windows bootable partition ends I use mc to put this in /etc/lilo.conf, and this will give you the choice of selecting windows regardless of what drive it is on. About the wheel/roller mouse: this question has been asked and answered many times; use the search function for this forum.:study: |
1) Your choice of Desktop Environment/ Window manager is up to you. Use 'xwmconfig' to change your default manager. (You're using KDE, kdesktop is just a small part of it.)
2) As root, run 'pkgtool', then "Setup (Choose Slackware installation scripts to run again)" > liloconfig. Run the 'expert' configuration, choose 'Begin', then 'Linux' (pick the correct partition), then 'Windows' (pick the correct partition - usually /dev/hda1) and finally 'install' 3) xorgconfig - although to set up a mouse with a wheel, you usually need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - xorgconfig cannot set the wheel up for you. The FAQ entry here may be of more use to you. |
thanx, i will try all that.

the answer is : the one that fits. just try some or all of them with " xwmconfig "as described above... egag |
I am a long term gnome user and so prefer it. But if I had no experience with either and was going to be a Slackware user, I would probably use KDE . Gnome is not currently included in Slackwrae and so it would eliminate having to install a 3rd party Gnome (or build my own).
