Ya, now i tried FluxBox, its same like BB (A little slower!) but it has some nice enhancements, so i'll stay with it at the moment, i just pointed it to my blackbox menu and style so it looks exactly like before.
Anyway.. ROX is a filemanager and can be used as a window/session manager as well. In this case it lets you put icons on BB/Flux box desktop. To get it to do this you need to add a line to .xinitrc and download and install ROX base package and ROX filemanager. Search Google and im sure you'll find it.
To reformat a NTFS partition not destroying the data is as far as i know impossible. But why dont you just copy the important data to another partition and then reformat NTFS and move the data back, its much simpler.
Opear comes as a binary as far as i know, so just move that binary to /bin or /usr/local/bin and remove it later. If it comes with an install script then its more difficult. Maybe you should not use the install script but figure out where what files should go and move them manually so you can delete them later, or just dont install it but unpack it and run it from your /home (for ex cd /home/nskl/opera then ./opera or if you would like to put that in Fluxbox menu the command line would be [exec] (Opera) {exec /home/nskl/opera/opera.bin} or something like it) Or maybe you can run the opera install.sh through checkinstall (Again search google for CheckInstall) What this program does is keeps track of all installed programs but sacrifices some control over your system. I tryed it and it segfaulted on my box, but i heard it works good for other poeple, but i like knowing exactly what is happening so i personally dont like/use CheckInstall.
Well hope that helps

NSKL:
If I said format it means - destroy all data on that partition!
You see I want to shrink windows, and it is on NTFS partition.
And here is my question: I want to format NTFS to reiserfs and then merge it with my native Linux partition, you get it? But I need a program for this
Finally configured Sylpheed, now he understands everything!!!!! cool
Opera is very good!!! I really like it
But how can I remove that image in upper part of window?
P.S. What language are you talking in Italy?

To remove the image/banner from opera you need to buy it...
I dunno how to merge two partitions, i dont know if its possible, check GNUparted maybe, just maybe it's possible...
But wahts wrong with having another extra ReiserFS partition and mounted something like /Files?
Official language is italian (doh!) but i go to english school and i speak english, serbian/croatian, spanish, italian and VERY little russian.
Well hope that helps

Why KDE screensaver isn't working in Flux?
And once again, why Opera doesn't understand koi8-r encoding,
Mozilla understands I have configured fonts hundred times in Opera, but still it doesn't work If you know what file can I configure
so help plz
I want to enable APM in kernel, but I have a problem:
I have compiled kernel many times, but all they were unsuccesful, and now my Makefile is messed up with my old configurations, but I want it to look like so that I have just installed the system, get it? Is htere some way to make such thing?

About Opera i cant help, i dunno sorry.
For screensaver in Flux/blackbox you need to add this to .xinitrc, actually here's my whole .xinitrc:
exec Esetroot /Files/Pics/sabbat1024.jpg &
exec bbkeys &
exec root-tail -g 85x8+500+0 /var/log/messages,green /var/log/syslog,blue /var/log/secure,red &
# exec colortail -k /home/nskl/.colortail/conf.kernel /var/log/messages -f -g 75x10+500+0 &
exec gkrellm &
exec xscreensaver -no-splash &
exec rox -p --pinboard=PIN &
# exec blackbox
exec fluxbox

the xscreensaver line adds the screensaver.
For the kernel.. What is the problem, does it fail on compilation or does the kernel you make not work? If It fails on compilation there might be something messed up in your system..
Anyway from /usr/src/linux do
make mrproper --cleans up all configurations/Makefiles as if you just installed Linux.
Make menuconfig --generate a customized kernel config
Make dep - resolve deps
make clean - clean all object files left from last configurations
make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
to make the kernel, modules and install modules. Then copy System.map to /boot and arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot and edit /etc/lilo.conf to load the new bzImage, and re-run lilo.
I usually skip make mrproper becaue it wipes out all my kernel configuration so i have to do it all agai if i run make mrproper
Make clean cleans the object files which is useful if you suspect there might be some old or corrupted object files from old kernel compilations. If you run make clean then make bzImage will take longer since it has to re-create object files.
Well hope that helps, and i think you should start a new thread for your questions because this one is gone way off-topic

exec xscreensaver -no-splash & - doesn't work, it says I have to be logged in as normal user As I can understand lockscreen won't work with any screensaver, so how can I make lockscreen working in Flux?
And question about numlock: how can I make numlock to turn on with Flux?
Here is the script turning on numlock with Linux:

INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
for tty in $INITTY; do
setleds -D +num < $tty
done
it is in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
So how can I use it with Flux?

thnx for help NSKL

And one more :
I have a big text file, for example. And I want to make it empty. How can I do this thing with some command?

P.S. NSKL, You can say if I am bothering you with my questions, and I will not disturb you any more, if not, I would be very happy to have good buddy in this forum

If you have a text file and just want to completely clear it, why not delete it? If you want to start a new file with the same name, do that and check permissions are the same.
touch filename
would make the file, and then you would adjust permissions accordingly with chmod.

Cool

What do you want to do? It's not a problem to delete a file. If you want this file completely empty, why not delete it? It would be very easy to:
rm filename
touch filename

If you did need the file back there, like if it were a log file or something. If you are in a gui you could highlight it all and then press delete to remove it all, this might also work in CLI, but I am not sure. It would also probably depend on which text editor you were using. Emacs might have a simple way of doing this for you.

Cool

That tells you how to delete line by line the entire document using vi if that would help.

Ok I will check it out.
Guys I have a question on Opera :
For example when I load www.linuxquestion.org I always have to login by myself, in Mozilla login fields are filed at startup of the page. I have turned on cookies in Opera but nothing works.
And Opera doesn't ask me to remember passwords on some pages. Any suggestion people?
thnx
