Does anyone know if the pan news reader works on CentOS 5.4? I am considering installing version 0.132 that I downloaded from pan.rebelbase.com . Thanks for your advice. Mike.

I have an old 400mHz Dell with a 20G hard drive and 125M ram. Can I install and run CentOS on it? Thanks, Mike.

This is a continuation of the thread: "yum update fails: CentOS 5.2". I installed a fresh Centos 5.2 and ran yum update. It ran correctly, except for these issues: 1. As previously mentioned, after deciding what it is going to do, It doesn't ask if its ok. But if I type y<enter> it reports: Is this ok [y/N]: Downloading Packages: 2. During the long period it

In the control script of my daemon in /etc/init.d?, I have # chkconfig: 35 97 3 The result of this is that I have links: /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K03... /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S97... /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S97... As mentioned in a previous thread, my complex daemon throws an exception when I shutdown. Perhaps things might be better if I had: /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K03... Might this be a good idea? If so,

Since I put my new Centos box on the net, it frequently tr1es to make ftp contact with IP address 64.90.181.77 . Why is this, and does anyone recognize this IP address? Is it spyware? Mike.

On CentOS 5.4 I just installed K3B to write some CDs. Now every time I used a CD, I get a popup that asks me to "Select a CDDB entry ...". How can I stop this popup? Thanks, Mike,

On my Centos box with: uname -r 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 I tried to mount my 2T external drive with: mount -t ntfs /dev/sdg1 /mnt/wd and I get: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' Thanks in advance for your help. Mike.

On my CentOS box, in C++ programs, is there a way to print Unicode characters? Thanks, Mike.

I have a C++ program that opens, gets a little data from, and closes about 5000 files. Now if I run the program when I first boot up, the running time is from about 10 seconds to a minute. Subsequently, the program runs in well inter one second. Buffering -- right? So I changed a parameter, so the program gets a different (albeit similar) 5000 files from a different directory. Running time on

On my newly installed CentOS 6 I am running KDE (I think; I selected it in the setup, but how would I know?). It has three default icons: Computer; Root's Home; Trash. I do not see them in /root/Desktop. How can I remove them? Thanks, Mike.

On my laptop, I boot CentOS 6 to level 3and find the font is quite small. Is there a way to change the font size at level 3? Thanks, Mike.

Where can I get the latest pan newsreader that would work with KDE 4? Thanks, Mike.

Running: yum list available | grep -i gmime shows results for CentOS 5, but not for CentOS 6. It seems to be needed by my pan. What should I do? Thanks, Mike.

I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome. How can I make the default KDE? How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3? Thanks, Mike.

On my intranet, I sometimes transfer large files, about 4G, to an CentOS old box that I use for a web server. I transfer with ftp or sftp. Usually, before the file is complete, the transfer "stalls". At that point, ping from the destination box to the router fails. I then deactivate the net interface on the destination box and then activate it. Ping is then successful, and the

On my laptop, I have not been able to get KDE to run; I always get gnome. I installed selecting KDE, and I tried yum groupinstall, which appeared to work, but I still get gnome running. BTW, I boot to level 3, and run startx. Thanks for your suggestions. Mike.
