hi,
Can someone help in trouble shooting why my RedHat linux 8.0 in not logging into the KDE screen.
Thanks
I am not sure if the above mentioned version has the same commands, but what seems happened is; you might have "accidentally" removed the rpm's for KDE. If that is the case, you can just install the KDE rpm's and it should be fine.. just open a command line terminal and login as root, or type su and enter your password. Then enter command:
if that command successfully installs KDE environment, you should be able to login to KDE screen.
I want one that won't run too slugish on a slower system (p 200Mhz for example). I know kde is out, anybody think gnome will run ok (I got 128 megs ram on it btw...don't ask :))? (5 Replies)

tailf
TAILF(1) Linux Programmer's Manual TAILF(1)NAME
tailf - follow the growth of a log file
SYNOPSIS
tailf [OPTION] file
DESCRIPTION
tailf will print out the last 10 lines of a file and then wait for the file to grow. It is similar to tail -f but does not access the file
when it is not growing. This has the side effect of not updating the access time for the file, so a filesystem flush does not occur peri-
odically when no log activity is happening.
tailf is extremely useful for monitoring log files on a laptop when logging is infrequent and the user desires that the hard disk spin down
to conserve battery life.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-n, --lines=N, -N
output the last N lines, instead of the last 10.
