I had it installed when I installed Red Hat 7.1
I don't even use it, as I've figured out that it is better to learn command line first, then GUI config and setup, which wouldn't be necessary in the first place if you already know how to configure linux from the command line. =)
So, since rpm is installed, would I be able to use that? Or was it not an rpm package? (I'm thinking it wasn't)
Does X come with an uninstall file or something like that? Any how-to's that I should know about?
I haven't checked the man pages yet, but I will as soon as I get home from school along with checking the cd-r/cd-rw and floppy disks.
I was given a computer from a friend who thought it was broken. She told me what the problem was at startup, "Invalid system disk, please insert disk and press any key to continue." It went something like that, but I knew that it was prolly just the hardrive acting up, and I had a spare IBM 20 gig 7200 rpm drive sitting around doing nothing anyways. I'm still trying to figure out what the motherboard model is... I think i've found it, but there were MANY revisions of the same board, and on different name websites.
the model number is G586IPV if I remember correctly, then it said, "rev. CA" or something or the other...
Anyways, I put in an old p2/266 chip, but the m/b has it clocked at 133, (the clockspeed of the original chip, a cyrix x86 133mhz.
Anyways, I read a few how-to's on how to get TTF fonts to work in X, and I've stored all the ones I wanted from windows onto this single floppy diskette, which is windows formatted from windows 98SE. Any ideas or how-to links I could read up on?
I'm really beginning to love linux... It may not be beautiful on the outside, but it's the inner beauty I'm talking about, which blows away any windows OS! Besides, gnome and kde and ximian are all very nice, as so the other windows managers that I haven't mentioned. I'm sure that soon, they will be looking just as clean and crisp if not more than the window's gui!
Oh, I should prolly mention that the reason I posted this message in the linux-server forum is because I'm working on it becoming a server, running red hat 7.1 (the ttf related question was just for future reference, and accessing the floppy has to do w/ me getting a server up and running.
thanks a LOT for your precious time!

TIA!!!
