Post Installation questions

bungalowbob
I have finally (after 3 weeks) gotten Mandrake 10. 1 community installed and working. First question: how do I increase the size of the type in open office for file edit view insert etc? The rest of the program works OK but I need a magnifying glass to read the selections.

Help with tilting/freezing Mandrake CE10.1

Sasha
Hi! We're totally new with Linux and seem to have a major problem. Our PC is 800Mhz, 256+128RAM and 6+20GB harddisk. First the system just tilted while trying to configure system under KDE, then we changed Matrox display card for Diamond Viper and added a processor fan.

Lose GRUB and boot from CD

SlimPickens
Greetings. Although a noob to FC3, I recall booting RedHat from diskette and not installing any loaders. I've looked around and it seems you can't boot FC3 from diskette(?). So I want to make a bootable CD that will boot my kernal and leave Windoze out of it.

Removing an OS from the GRUB boot loader.

Cardinal
Hello everyone. I'm using Fedora Core 2 and updated the kernel with yum. When I reboot I notice an older version of the kernel is still showing in the boot screen. I would like to edit the boot options so only the updated build of Fedora is shown and also XP, that is set up to dual boot.

Setting $PATH environment variable in Bash

frequencydrive
I have just installed MySQL and I am getting tired of having to type the full path name to start the server manually (/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe user=mysql). I thought I would add this path to my $PATH environment variable.

Favorite Desktop Environment

clutch
So, what's your fav? I prefer Fluxbox on systems I use all the time, and on systems with low resources (or VMs in VPC). I also use KDE on systems that I just need up and running quickly, and on VMs running in VMWare Workstation, and now on VMWare ESX Server in the lab.
