well,
There was some useful information in that post, for sure.
I DID create desktop link to xkill and have now found it to be very useful.

Benjamin,
I just tried shutdown -h now and it did not
automatically shut down power... still need to shut
power off manually.
I did a standard load of RH8 and have not played
around with APMD.
Upon further investigation, ps -aux|grep -i apm shows
apmd is not running.

Just curious but do you have APMD running and configured, when you issue
a shutdown -h now instead of the -p option will it shutdown and

Unfortunately, no one seems to respond to this query.

I am using beonex 0.8.1 which I believe is using Mozilla 1.1 and the

1. Power user or not, the command line is your way to computing freedom.
2. Ditto; we need users who can handle various configurations -
otherwise you'd being using WIN 98 and XP, right?

I am NO-WHERE near as knowledgeable as most of the guys here, but i must ask.
Did you just try re-configuring X?
ie:
root# xf86config
save your old file (/etc/X11/XF86Config , note upper case ) and try it.
a lot of times its bailed me out when i couldn't make heads or tails out
of the errors.
Does anybody know an answering machine software
for kde?
I used vbox on my old SuSE 7.3 and it works fine for me.
But i do not want to install it again, because it needs
inetd.
I use a FritzCard PCI ISDN-Device - no modem?
