[CS-FSLUG] Looking for a message

[Ruth Marlene Friesen]

Hi Eduardo,
I don't have your private email (at least not without going online to 
hunt for it), and I'm behind in reading the list mail, but is this the 
message of mine you were looking for?


Thanks, gentlemen!

That learning process is what I've imagined will happen. Sometimes I 
just get a bit impatient.  :)

Okay. So for now I'm committed to leaning to work in Mandrake. I hope I 
don't wear you folks out with my questions. After my session yesterday 
in the "other computer"  I have some new questions.
1. How do I format or get to use my CD drives to copy files for another 
computer?

2. for that matter, my printer doesn't seem to catch on to commands well 
there either.

3. In Jan. another man on our Board at the mission, gave me his 
computer, (he said he knew I'd put it to good use!) I installed Mandrake 
on it too, but made Gnome  the main desktop there to be able to compare 
it to KDE. Whenever I go to open that computer I get this big warning 
message that my /var is too small, but when I go into the Mandrake 
Control center,
and want to adjust it, I get lost. The partitioning windows come up 
fine, but I don't know how to set it. Fortunately, I haven't built up 
any files of my own there except for a few I was hoping to print out, so 
I CAN re-install if I need to. What's my move here?
