Some pages have gotten so complex security features, tuned to work with Microsoft Internet Explorer, that only this browser can show them correctly. I don't blame Microsoft for this; it's the people who designed the pages who are to blame, I guess. Therefore, it is impossible nowadays to surf on the Internet without Windows and the Internet Explorer. I suppose that this is what americans call liberty...

Qt mentioned something about Qt-Designer so I tried it out. Very nice.... -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.

Ta Sorry, I'm afraid I can't really help you with that, since I've never had any experience with GRUB. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, though. You may initially have to use LILO, unless you've got a copy lying around on your hard disk, in which case you could just use GRUB from the off and tell YaST not to bother with LILO at all. > > -----Original Message----- > > > > Cliff Sarginson wrote: > > > > > > Anyone able to tell me wher I can download the > > > new super-duper lilo from... > > > > Go to: > > http://judi.greens.org/lilo/ > > There is a link somewhere on the page to download the latest LILO...

Greetings all - - I'll repeat my previous post ..... I have just upgraded to Xfree86 4.0.1and KDE2. I am running SuSE 7 personal and I downloaded the upgrade for Xfree86 and KDE from SuSE's ftp site. After the installation, as per the instructions in the readme, everything seems good, except for my mouse cursor which is a 3/4" square instead of an arrow. Left click and right click both work, so far. My video card is an SiS 6326 PCI. How do I get my cursor back? I tried running /usr/X11/bin/xf86config4 directly, with no luck. Help Jerry wjc(a)lcc.net
