in an effort to beat this 7.3 install into submission, i have tried to figure out why my xglobe background isn't working. so, for a start, i did locate xglobe from a prompt. i was informed that there was no locatedb. so, as root i did an updatedb. it chugged along for awhile and then announced that the database would be empty. any idea what that would be about? also -- could someone who has sound working properly tell me the permissions they have for /dev/dsp? kde at start informs me it doesn't have permission to use it, so the sound that worked perfectly in 7.3 now doesn't. thx! -- dep There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land; But the People in their weeping Bare the iron hand; Beware the People weeping When they bare the iron hand.
