A few things

[Steve Roy]

Hi everyone,

I installed YDL two weeks ago and had never tried Linux before, so that=20=

seems to qualify me as a newbie. However, with the amount of things=20
I've had to do to get MOL running=97long story=97I've discovered quite a=20=

bit, and I'm not sure my questions belong on this list. But that'll be=20=

up for you to let me know.

Things are running alright in general with YDL but there are a few=20
little things. I was initially going to wait for YDL 4.0, but since I=20
had time now and the need to, I decided to go ahead and start playing=20
with the current 3.0.1 release, and I've upgraded to the 2.4.22-2g=20
kernel.

- The mounted Mac OS X volume is non-writable. I can read stuff from=20
it, but not write to it. Is there a way around this?

- I can't add or move things on the desktop. I checked the permissions=20=

on the Desktop directory and they look OK. It was working right after I=20=

installed YDL but at some point it stopped. How do I fix this doc?

- I installed Thunderbird using yum but it's version 0.6. I tried=20
installing the latest 0.7.3 that I downloaded from mozilla.org but when=20=

I try to run it I get an error saying thunderbird-bin can't be=20
executed. How can I get the latest Thunderbird running?

- How can I make icons for things like Thunderbird or MOL to appear in=20=

my bar? (By the way, what's the proper name for that thing?)

- Font anti-aliasing is turned on, or so it says, but it doesn't seem=20
to work. It's visible especially in Firefox when I surf the web that=20
fonts are all jagged. Is there something I'm missing?

- I enabled the trackpad by editing /etc/sysconfig/trackpad to set=20
TRACKPAD_OPT to "drag", and it was working on the day that I did it,=20
but now that I've rebooted a few times it doesn't work. Is this buggy?

- I turned on automatic login but it doesn't work. I did this in=20
Control Center --> System Administration --> Login Manager -->=20
Convenience. The "Enable auto-login" box is checked, my user account is=20=

selected. What else is there that I need to do?

- Is there a way we can change the "flower" login screen? :)

Thanks for any hints you may have.

Steve
