[opensuse] Configuring GRUB and using KDE fonts in Open Office (openSUSE 10.3)
Hi All: Please help a first-timer: 1) I've installed openSUSE 10.3 alongside WinXP. Can I increase the time the GRUB loader takes before it automatically loads openSUSE? Or, can I change the GRUB loader to wait or beep for input before deciding which operating sytem to load? 2) In openSUSE 10.3, I like the "Schumacher Clean" font which is available as a font in the KDE. How can I get Open Office 2.3 to see this font so that I can use it in Calc and Writer? I find the fonts provided by Open Office a bit blurry/hazy. I have an LG Flatron L1552S LCD monitor and do not use a white background but a light grey or teal background to avoid eye-strain. If anyone can help, please do so in beginner's language!

For this one use Yast -> Boot Loader->Boot Loader Installation ->Boot Loader Options. There is a field "Timeout in Seconds". Or as a root edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. There is a line "timeout". Put there the value you like. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes: boot Linux and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst as the root user. The "timeout" variable defined how long Grub waits to boot the menu entry indicated by the "default" variable.
Or, can I change the GRUB loader to wait or beep for input before deciding which operating sytem to load?
I don't think that beeping is possible, but you can of course set the timeout to a very high value, so it will sit there and wait for your input.

Not sure about this one. If the font is available to KDE, it should also appear in the font selection list of OOo.
