I've got a hp 2110xi psc printer/scaner/copier yada yada..and it works golden. i guess my only complaint is that whenever i want to use it as scanner i have to turn it off then back on(so it resets with the different driver)...but it works quite well and is no hassle setting up, takes about 5 minutes to set the entire thing up. Daum

What do you mean by slow? As in it loads slow? Graphics are slow? If your graphics are slow you might have your x config'd wrong...if it is running very slow try running in a non graphical mode(you can kill x by hitting ctrl alt backspace). See if it runs slow there too. If it does most likely the way you are installing is correct. I am not too familiar with the distros you listed but any distro should be able to run pretty well at the command line in a non graphical mode. Daum

I have a prog that runs in java(scottrader) and well the prob is the drop down boxes are all black(so i can't see the writing) but when i look at it via windwos and what not it appears fine..and i can't find anyway to change the color of the boxes in the prog itself, so what do i do? here is a ss of what i mean.http://img129.exs.cx/img129/1682/stock1sq.png Thanks. Daum

hm what version of java and what not ya got? Daum

When I change the background it only does it of the chart...is there a drop box that my java is neglecting to show in the config window=p Daum

Fixed nevermind..reinstalled the backend, and redid the config setup on it=p Daum

anyone know of a stock program that will allow me to use ScottTrade for the streaming data? I would prefer also if it had built in ability to retrieve news, and historical charts..etc...Anyone? Oh i'd be happy to use other streaming data,but I do not want to pay=) Daum

Whats wrong with sun-sdk? =p Anyways there are others like blackdown i believe it is called.... Daum

I am not exactly sure what you are talking about..I haven't used this program, but i hear only good things about it...but it turns out my wireless card is the only card not to have an .inf file...its called ndiscwrapper...best wireless card dealio for linux i believe...someone correct me if i'm wrong. Daum

It seems you are wanting to reinstall windows..to do that simply put the disk in, and do an install...delete the partitions that were created for linux after you select you want to install the windows..then installt he windows on the new free space....I'd suggest that you stay in linux for a little longer, it grows on you=) Daum

By the way, if you'd like, you can use gaim as your default messenger for yahoo too!! I do and it works fine, it just doesn't give you email notification. Daum

well you can always get like pop3mail.com mail..or random named pop acess only mails=p Daum

Well when you install xp, just don't use up all your hard drive space when you create a partition, leave at least 5 gigs or so, depending on how much you plan to use linux and what you will store in it. Then once you partition the windows partition, you will make the linux partitions in the installation. Daum

I am sure he is giong to use ntfs. But to answer your question you will have to use partition magic or some program that can resize the partition, and might i add that you should make a back up before you do anything because they can mess up your partition and what not. If you back things up you misewell just reinstall, get rid of that nasty spyware=) Then when you reinstall just create 1 15 gig (assuming the tnire hd is like 30 gig ) if you want it split in half for XP, then the other 15 for linux=0 Daum

You can assing your hard drive to be mountable by different groups in the fstab...for example: /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 ext3 defaults,users 0 0 That line if added to your fstab will mount the /dev/hda5 drive automatically on boot up. It is configured for an ext3 system. It allows all "users" which is a group, to access the drive freely. (I am at school at the moment so not sure if that is perfect syntax, but should get yuo going!) Daum

If you have room no your hard drive for the linux partitions it will create its own in the space you ahve allocated. If your windows is the entire hard drive(size wise) you will have to either delete it, or resize it. To resize it you will have to use a program like partition magic or something. Then once that is done, you can just install linux it, depending on your distro sometimes the partitioning is done automatically for you. In this case generally it will say do you want to remove all prior partitions on hd, or would you like us to partition the remaining space on your hard drive. Select the latter. Daum

Grats, i will admit the install on gentoo the first time is a bit daunting, but i have found it worth it...and i've now installed gentoo maybe 6 or so times on different machines, and i barely even use the install hand book..i have it odwn to a fine art and can get it installed rather quick. Hope you enjoy it. A suggestion: While I love gentoo, i for some reason have never liked their kernels. You might look sometime into kernel.org and do your own kernel. You can emerge something called developmentsources which will allow portage to know you have your own kernel and it will make a copy of the kernel source to work from. Daum

Now there is a way to beat that. There are programs that will access it..if you search for yahoofetch or ypops you should get the same idea for the hotmail..they usually have links on the webpage for the hotmail versions. They are not the best, i'd recommend you just switch to something like gmail or a pop email inbox that is free=) Daum

I believe the command for rpms in a terminal is: rpm -uvh or -ivh depending on what it is you exactly want to do, but both will install it. If it says its missing a certain package go to rpmfind.net and type the name of the package, download it..and install it. What distro you on? Daum

I know i've been posting a lot of problems lately but thats because i just redi dthe comp and am working on perfecting it...again. Anyways- anyone here perhaps able to help me with why my xine freezes when i hit f or right clik and select full screen...i can change the window size and manually click maximize..but full screen always freezes it..mplayer will go full screen, but xine won't..weird? Daum

Doh click solution ont he wrong one, the solution is to update both xine libs and xine-ui to the latest "unstalbe" version..its actually stable=p. Daum

I have a psc 2110xi, it runs on the hpijs drivers, but if i try to use the hpijs driver for the scanning it is never found via xsane or anything...instead i use the hpoj driver and scanning works better than perfect=p. How do you get xsane to recognize the hpijs drivers? Daum

alrighty! here is the codes that you will want!!!! to begin- tar -xzvf flashplayer-installer.023.tar.gz then cd ./flashplayer-installer ./flashplayer-installer, then self explanatory from there! Daum

I have cups and i emerged hpijs drivers...they still will not show up when i've restarted the comp, the cups server adn what not..what am i doing wrong? Daum
