Hello Derek,
Well since we already got /usr/openwin/bin/twm which is also a light
window manager,
i be surprised if you got many folks who be interested in mwm. Although,
i think mwm
look and feel is better than twm. But, in this day and age, they are all
obsolete, and the point
is to have a li

I'm curious as to the practicality and possibility of integrating mwm as
a lightweight window manager, and more so, a replacement for dtwm, which
will be removed at some point. Considering the Motif libs will be kept

Hi,
I'm looking for some contract work mainly s-o-h-o based but I can do around 10%
travel.
I have long experience in OS Kernel & Compiler development working for Computer
Manufacturers and Silicon Design companies.
I can send my resume on request - I can also provide the following references

Hello prakash,
Thank you for information. I'll check with perf-discuss@ to see if
there're any examples how to use it.

Hi Georg,
I believe that adding the Solaris chainloader entry in the Ubuntu Grub
won't work.
The Grub that ships with Feisty won't allow for this, so you need to
acivate the Solaris partition, and add the Ubuntu chainloader entry to
Solaris' /boot/grub/menu.lst and boot from there.
Happy play
I'm using Ubuntu Feisty (x86_64). I didn't use particular partition tools, just
Linux fdisk and Solaris fdisk. FYI the hardware is a Dell M65 laptop.
It turned out Solaris seems to reset the MBR and probably installs Grub into
its own
partition which is nice. Linux distros like to install over
45 matches
