double-click Is it possible to change the mouse action (say within file managers) to respond to double rather than single clicks? I find myself either opening files that I didn't intend to open or else opening two instances of a file that I want to open!
Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to change. Apparently, using KDE, with a single click to open things, is better - personally I don't use KDE though. :) Admittedly it would be better if the option was there to change it, but the I guess we're trying to avoid being like Windows ...
CD-ROM Speed (24x IDE, 48MB RAM, P266) While spuddling through the SuSE CDs, looking at the packages available, I have noticed that some (large) folders initially display their contents quickly then slow to a crawl - requiring a down line/page to initiate further reads, only to suddenly speed up again towards the end of the folder (sorry, I forget which folders/CDs were responsible). Is this a 'feature' of LINUX and the way it reads CD's or do I need to increase a CD cache somewhere?
I think it'd be the same under all OS's, to be honest - large directories do take time to read, and that's the way it works. I find the same, especially on a slow medium like CD. -- James Samuel Network Manager, SuSE Linux Ltd. Direct Phone: +44 (0)208 387 1485 Fax: +44 (0)208 387 4010
