Slackware 10.2 Questions

[cheetahman]

Fluxbox is messed up it set it at about 640x480 but I want it at 1024x768?

Is there a way to change a root password?

How would I update the kerenel with no internet on it?

Also this computer is very old

I'm pretty sure it's all the same stuff between 10.1 and 10.2, so I'm just going to assume it is.

To change the screen resolution you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and manually type in the resolutions you want. There's another way, using "xorgconfig" but if you use that you'll need to reconfigure everything (like mouse, video card, etc).

To change password in any account just log into that account do type "passwd".

According to the Slack site "Slackware 10.2 includes the Linux 2.4.31 kernel, with Linux 2.6.13 available in the /testing directory." I'm at work right now, so I can't confirm if the kernel is in the /testing directory or not right now, but you can check.

The skin? There is a skin selector in the options submenu (right click in xmms to get the menu).
