kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 HECK QuintThought you KNEW me better than that--->>> *Where do I PUT that * What will it do * Don't FORGET I'm JUST an EXPLORER Colin Quote
quint Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Quint will these commands AFFECT PCLos or MepisSCARY SCARY for the ExplorerColin What commands?? If you mean changing the "XF86Config-4" file, in "Overclockix 3.4", it will not have any bearing on "PCLOS" or "Mepis". Quote
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Does this go in Kedit after something in ConsoleColin STILL Quote
teacher Posted May 9, 2004 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
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 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
quint Posted May 9, 2004 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
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 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
quint Posted May 9, 2004 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. Quote
teacher Posted May 9, 2004 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

Colin refers to "Overclockix 3.4" when he says:Hey QuintAM in Overclockix 2.6 and found where the "Super Kamicota" Avatar came form-->>> LOVING ITBUT like the First boot into Mepis 2.6 the SCROLL does not work BooHooNow just going to play with it and see what else is in thereColin Quote
Bruno Posted May 9, 2004 Author 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 . . . . . Bruno Quote
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Nope Bruno Overclockix did away with Bittorrent because of there glitchy downloads.At least it runs and my friend WILL be happy Colin Quote
kamicota Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 JohannWent to Distrowatch and from there to Overclockix and clicked on the download and it was NOT from Bit TorrentColin Quote
