My /var/log/messages and messages.0 are getting very large. messages alone is almost 500 meg. Is is safe to delete these files (I don't need to read any back error messages). My syslog is also reaching 500 meg ais that safe to be deleted. Will they be auto-created again? Thanks -- To UNSUB

GTK, GTK2 Fonts

2003-02-07 Thread Richard Beri
I am not having fun with fonts in GTK and GTK2. I installed gdm to replace kdm, so now ~/.gtkrc-kde has no control over the gtk1 fonts (which it did a nice job of). For some reason gdm wants to always use the ugly default font and I cannot change it, gnome-control-center run as root has no ef
