| 222056 | 2004-03-15 02:46:00 | Thanks Murray - great. I need to get around to sending them a bug report because Regional Settings crashes when I try to use it to see if there is Maori support there - Chill thought there may be. I think the problems with Regional Settings might have happened during the system update process because it worked fine during the original set up and I haven't changed anything else in that line.

| 222057 | 2004-03-15 02:49:00 | Thanks for all those comments Chill. On the button as usual except for (IMHO): > Xandros commits the crime of > acting more like Doze, but it does have the options > of restart or shut down; small things I know, but > quite nice to have). >>Try a slightly newer distro I was using the latest distro with Fedora and it still didn't work on the laptop Chill. Unless you are referring to Core 2 (I think it was called)? I didn't try any of the beta stuff; merely the latest that the Redhat Update would download. John |

| 222058 | 2004-03-15 05:31:00 | Ahh... Two things come to mind: Im not sure on how Gnome works with Shutdowns etc. I'll ask Segfault later today, he's a big Gnome fan. Otherwise, its APM You either need to start the daemon, or un-comment a line in /etc/modules.conf It varies between distros Chill. |

| 222061 | 2004-03-15 12:11:00 | Sorry John but it is not worth replying. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 222062 | 2004-03-15 12:40:00 | They were. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 222063 | 2004-03-15 21:00:00 | hey chill yeah crossover office is a no-show on the standard, i think the (paid for) version of xandros standard has less support features (y'know x days free email support yadda yadda), maybe some other proprietry apps aren't included... laters :) |

| 222064 | 2004-03-16 01:57:00 | John H: Laptops are a problem. They have always been a problem. :-( Too much proprietary hardware. It's best to give Google the laptop model and "linux" to see if someone has done the particular model. "laptop linux" will probably find the latest generic HOWTO. | Graham L (2) | ||
