I think you are refering to Redhat Linux 6.2.

The quickest way to switch video modes is to use <ctrl><alt><+> and
<ctrl><alt><->, someone else may want to fill in the method for a more
permanent change.

As far as unpacking and installing tarballs, I think you should check out
the HOWTO document located at
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO  It
takes a fundamental approach to building and installing software from the
source.

I don't use X, so I'm sorry I can't help you with the customization.

64 Megs of swap ought to be plenty.

Now for the questions.   How do I change video modes in X?  I am using KDE
if
you know of an easy way from there.  I love it.  It is working just the way
it
is supposed to be.

Also how do u install a tar.gz file????   The RPG ones are really easy but
the
other installs are confusing me.

How do you add stuff to the (forgive me for calling it this) start bar.   Or
K
bar I guess I should say.   I can drag them into the quick launch area but I
want them to be in the start menu...

I created my swap file at 64 megs.   Is that too small??  I am running 64
megs
of ram.

Thanks for all our help

Travis
