How do you uninstall Slackware packages?

How do you set it up to run either X or kdm or gdm at start-up (from either runlevel 3 or 4)? How do I log in automatically into a user name (not necessarily root) at startup? Please be explicit.

Why can't I raise a text console (the Ctrl-Alt-Fx keys) at times when X or the desktop environment crashed?

In KDE, how do I make K-mix start at start-up?

Also for KDE, how do I remove applications from the start bar or the sys tray, without halting them (make them run in the background, but still accessible). (needed, but not limited to running XMMS into the sys tray)

Can I make XMMS scroll down the play list from the mouse wheel? (an old Windows habit )



What is the bash equivalent for the following MS-DOS batch command:
ren *.abc *.xyz

I want to change the extension of all abc files into xyz.

note: mv *.abc *.xyz fails

You might start here, and then come back with unanswered questions:

The Unofficial Revised Slackware Book Project

I already searched the documentations for those. If you do have specific answers please post them.

The LQ Rules that you agreed to specifically state "Do not expect LQ members to do your homework - you will learn much more by doing it yourself." Now why would I break Jeremy's rules, when you can obviously read English? Your first two questions are answered in the link I gave you...I'm NOT doing your homework, and not reading any more of your thread unless you read the Slackbook, search LQ, and search Google first and do something for yourself. Here's another link to help you...

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

It's not a homework, these are a few issues I have not been able to resolve. Cut a beginner user some Slack

Do I have to run the gauntlet, do I have to wear a funny little hat and stand in a leg shouting: "I am an idiot!"?

You simply need to grow up and be responsible.

in time you wasted writing and replying to this thread you could have read the book chinaman posted for you and found the answer yourself!! that's what we call homework.............

For kmix jus go to the kde menu----> MutliMedia----->kmix

Good Luck!!

Well, Navaboy, that kind of info is what we get all over Google.

As for Aphex_Twin2, I know you're a newbie. I'm one too. But sometimes we can get most of our questions answered just by googling it. At least that will help us grow and eventually shake off this newbie status

Thank you, NavaBoy
