If you mean changing the "XF86Config-4" file, in "Overclockix 3.4", it will not have any bearing on "PCLOS" or "Mepis". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacher Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Oh Colin....You have to go into your file (locate it first) and then use vi to make the changes. Are you really ready to tackle that tonight???Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Julia Definitely NEEDED a STEADYING influence Heck I JUST go with the FLOW when it starts and that's what I'm in NOW tih Overclockix. Trying it out for my friend.Plus wouldn't know WHICH FILE to locate and secondly there you go again "VI" HECK I STILL feel as if I'm from ANOTHER PLANET even though "VI" was visited a couple of weeks ago l Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Colin,Refer to Bruno's explicit directions to you, earlier in this thread; I have never used anything but "vi", but you are more comfortable using "kedit" or "kwrite". If unsure, DO NOTHING!! (PLEASE!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Yaeh QuintI was beginning to think Brunos Instructions were the way to go.But NOT tonight have been at this for quite a few hours nowYes love the "See Through" not the write phrase DeskTopSome IMPRESSIVE Wallpapers.ASnd ME NOT up to exploring.I'ts mepis here I come to wind up the dayThank YOU SO much for the help Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Colin,When you do it from a "LIveCD", you cannot reboot and expect the changes to "take-hold"...there are another few steps, involving switching to "init 1" and back to "init 5"...better wait for Bruno, or requisition Julia.

teacher Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 QuintThe changes will stay that he has made. He has installed already, I believe. That's why the discussison about the downloads. They are something else too. Tomorrow will be a fresh day and soon enough to continue on this "journey". :)Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 Hey Colin . . . . . . So you did use Bittorrent . . . . have you ?? ( Will have tpo keep an eye on you )On your question: you can not make changes to configfiles on a Live CD, because you can not write to it . . .so . . . . .
