Newbie - 2 Gnome and 1 general question(s)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all.  Long time computer user/IT staffer but new linux user running
RH8.

2 GNOME questions for you... 
1) I want to 're-organize' some of the items in the GNOME menu.  In M$
you can click and drag items around the start menu, but it doesn't
appear to work like that in GNOME.  What conf file controls the gnome
menu (both per user and globally)?

2) I removed the RHN/update widget from the toolbar and would like to
have it back.  The little blue check mark makes me happy.  What
applet/program/etc should I link to get it back?

1 just general query for good measure:
3) I want to start tarring my home folders for backup.  I know you can
tell tar to exclude certain files/folders, but I can't seem to get the
syntax write based on the man and --help stuff.  I want to exclude one
folder within /home/user1 that has music files.  
So... #: tar -cvz archive.tar /home/user1 
doesn't cut it.  Anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance.  Mystical
