alteredinsanity · 09-12-2002, 05:41 AM

I just started using linux and I need help with a few things.

Im using Konqueror Web Browser when ever I visit a webpage a dialog box pops up and asks me to accept or decline cookies its driving me insane is there a way I can disable this dialog box.

How do I install programs I just downloaded linux download Manager where is the install file.

How do I use my gamepad.

The text on most web pages is so small its hardly readable how do I fix this.

In konqueror go to Settings , then configure konqueror and then to cookies . In that click on accept cookies or reject cookies

1. use galeon..(best browser in linux most people say)
2. the way u install programs
depends on file type
1) rpm -Uvh file.rpm
2) unzip archieved files.
3) unzip archieved files , compile, make, make install
4) run friendly installer that comes with program

there r so many threads in this board u can search for each type of installation
3. i don't know what gamepad is
4. most browsers have configuration setting
u can change default font size , minimum/maximum font size
