hello sir,
newbie here. i am sorry to bombard your howto with questions but i am hoping that you are in mood to answer some of my questions.
1.) after removing sever kernel dont i have to install regular kernel? (sorry if it sounds dumb)
2.) is it necessary to install software thru command line or i can do thru synaptic? (i mean can i install comiz fusion regular way?)
cuz i am confused about this
Code:
now one tricky thing here in checkinstall: must reset name of package to fusion-icon [field 2] and then version [field 3]- i use 6.6.6 :P
reboot into generic kernel and startx! [sudo shutdown -r now]
so this leaves you with a cli system that startx starts nautilus/gnome-panel/fusion-icon which pumps compiz-fusion and emerald. you may need to get some emerald themes - but emerald-theme-manager is in there now etc so your good
regular install of compiz doesn't require all that (isn't there is easy way?)
3.) "create .xinitrc file;" if i am correct it is start up script of sort.
Do i have to create it if i am planning to install compiz later?
( i have ATI x1400 and i am waiting for new driver release which will support AIXGL then i will install compiz fusion)
and last which is not about howto but more about sever edition
i have always wanted to install ubuntu with out evolution and openoffice and voip software.. i have asked before about how to uninstall those software.. and they told me to uninstall wat you can.. and i have always ended up uninstalling wrong stuff and faced black screen may times.... but i think sever edition doesn't install most stuff..
so my question is can server edition be really used as desktop edition?
can i install other stuff later if i needed? .. doest sever edition install somethings specific to sever desktops? .. like extra services and stuff?
