I've just installed FC2 from CDs, upgrading FC1, on a 1998 p2 with 350 MHz, 393MB RAM, two hard drives 20GB and 30GB. Two of my applications have sizes which I can't get to fit my screens. (I use everything in the intermediate size, whatever it's called, neither max nor min; that little bit ob desktop background peeking around the edges helps me keep track which machine I'm on.) Pan insists on being so wide I can't get to the scrolling tools on both sides without shifting the whole window back and forth. The Preferences window for Konqueror (which I run under Gnome, not in KDE) insists on being so tall that I can't get to the buttons at the bottom at all, and thus can't tweak Konqueror -- rendering it unusable. This problem has turned up repeatedly with these apps under successive OSs, both upgraded and clean-installed, and has always eventually gone away. How do you *make* it go away? The CDs were newly downloaded, in case that matters; I ran both yum update and up2date, first on yum and on up2date themselves, then against everything, till both reported nothing new to update. Ran updatedb and rpm --rebuilddb, and ran both again. I keep the up2date icon on a panel, and have nightly yum update enabled under Sessions. It seems as if by now this hassle oughtta remove itself .... Oh, one more hardware note: I'm using a BenQ FP767 monitor, behind a KVM switch on both the FC2 machine and two others; but the same problem appeared with RH9 or FC1 at first, when I had never heard of BenQ nor KVM switches; so surely it *shouldn't* be either ... -- Beartooth Implacable, Linux Evangelist & Gadfly neo-redneck, curmudgeonly codger with FC1 & 2, YDL 4.0 Pine 4.62, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.1; Opera 7.54, Firefox 1.0 Bear in mind that I have little idea what I am talking about.
