Does anyone have a quick and dirty solution to fixing Grub. I have a dual boot (win2k/suse) and grub won't load correctly. I thought about swapping in Lilo but I would rather just fix what's there.

Any thoughts?

Grub has a built-in install capability. See www.linux-sxs.org for information about grub... or look at the man pages.

I would like to change the lock button in KDE so that it would use xlock instead of the predefined screensavers in the control center. Does anyone know if that is possible??

Open ControlCenter --> Look&Feel --> Screensaver and unclick Enable screensaver (box at top of screen).

<alt-2> xlock

This information is also available in the *usual* places, info/man xlock and google.

also....

<alt-2> xscreensaver-demo -prefs

configure xscreensaver as you like....

This information is also available in the *usual* places, info/man xscreensaver and google

Thanks, I'll give it a try. p.s. I'm assuming the <alt-2> above is <alt-F2>. <alt-2> doesn't seem to do anything on my machine. If not please let me know what I am doing wrong. -- D.C.

One more question. I am using KDE 3.1 and I did not see a "Look&Feel". There is however an "Appearance & Themes". Is this the same thinkg. If so the only screen saver option that I see (that might be equivlent to above) is to uncheck the "Start screen saver automatically" button. Will this suffice. <snip> Any info/assistance is appreciated. -- D.C.
