First of all, please check your spelling before submitting something like this. I think I wouldn't be the only one who'd appreciate it.

Afaik, this means /opt/mozilla/bin is probably not in your PATH. I had some problems with /opt/***/bin stuff myself, so I added everything there to my path in /etc/profile, and I added "source /etc/profile" to my .xinitrc (I always boot into X).

Google. Heck, you might even find it on the wiki.

and third, how do I add the alsa modules I need to start every time?

Wiki and wiki.

and How do I make my printer be avlabile?

Wiki.

and, How do I add hebrew support to KDE?

No idea, but it's probably on the wiki.

Always search the wiki wiki and google first before asking basic things like how to mount partitions. I suppose I've made my point quite clear

Well, I can tackle a couple of those...some of those topics should be covered in the Installation Guide or the Wiki, so be sure to poke around there.
* The command to get Firefox running is just <code>firefox</code> (which is somewhat counter-intuitive considering the package name has mozilla in there as well).

* The mounting of your drives is taken care of in the file <code>/etc/fstab</code> (read the wiki or Google 'fstab' for tons of info). Mounting of a Windows XP partition on the drive might be tricky since they use NTFS as a filesystem. At this point, I believe support for NTFS in Linux is read-only...someone with more experience mixing the two can probably jump in here.

* Making sure that modules load at startup will be configured in the file <code>/etc/rc.conf</code>, so read the ALSA page on the wiki and put what you need in the modules line of that file.
That's about all I know...good luck, and keep reading!

Ok, mozilla almost aolved
still when runing it I get problem when trying to load www pages, I think it is something with my DNS.
How can I fix it up?
and why do I see many bad fonts on my KDE on the net?
even in this site when it loads at the top.
I have some fonts problems.

Ok, I have a problem with the network,
I used to have differnet network type config, unlike here, How Can I make my ADSL use a given DNS? and not assigend one auto?
I am using it as a dhcp

I also have problem with mount, it say it doesnt have mount points after I have added the win_c and so on, what to do?

EAD · 2006-03-16 22:25:24

It seem that I still have problems with screen, emacs refuse to load for example.

Most of the answers should already be on the forum.

The wiki should help you out with your network issues.

And ubuntu guide has info on mounting other partitions at boot. As well as other basic needs.

Emacs eh, Try VI hehe

NTFS have safe writing in linux atm, but you can only write files if you don't change the filesize afaik (!) and can't delete anything.

There is something called "Captive NTFS" though, which will let you use microsofts NTFS drivers to read/write NTFS from linux, but I've never tried it and can't help you. There is a guide on their site though if you google it up.
