Hi,
OK, I've solved the problem with Owl not seeing my SATA hard disk by
upgrading the kernel to 2.6.18-ovz.
Now I have to setup an Owl-based desktop environment on my laptop
before I move to Egypt, hence some newbie's questions:
1) Which RPM set with a wide range of useful applications
should I use?
I tried downloading Fedora Core 6 i386 RPMs, but they require
GLIBC-2.4. Then I tried
rpm --replacefiles --nodeps -U glibc-2.5-3.i386.rpm
but then PAM modules stopped working and it was even impossible to
login. So I downgraded to libc-2.3.6.so. Should I use RPMs from
older versions of Fedora?
2) What is the best way to install X.org? Again, I thought
about downloading all Fedora RPMs with names starting from
xorg-x11-*, but they do not form a complete set:
there is xterm-*, which doesn't start with xorg-x11-*.
In the epoch of XFree, there was a single file
x.src.tar.gz, which you extract and type 'configure && make',
but there is no such a file for X.org...
3) Later I used sudo, but now I know it is not a good idea
to use su/sudo to root as a non-privileged user.
So, what is the right way to get admin's privileges while working
locally in X Window as grg?
ssh r_grg@localhost ?
What about using passwords?
Thanks in advance :-)
