Howdy, does anyone know if there is a method of setting up a figure caption to appear in the list of figures, but not in the text itself? I'm working on a bit of a hack to get the placement of a figure to be consistent with my school's thesis guidelines (ugh). Thanks, --TeaDrinker 00:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm trying to use the Japanese IME for XP but it's a little confusing. I'm used to the two-letter input system, for example typing "k" then "a" to produce か - however, the Japanese IME by default uses some sort of mapping system that maps each English letter to a kana, and I have no idea how to change this. Any help would be appreciated. -Wooty [Woot?] [Spam! Spam! Wonderful spam!] 07:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Since I switched to Fedora 8 from Fedora 7, I've had problems with my screen. Sometimes, the entire picture just spontaneously disappears from the monitor. The monitor switches to standby mode, as if it didn't have a video input at all. The computer keeps responding to keyboard and mouse input (as far as I can tell without seeing anything - but the keyboard lock lights still work), but no picture is displayed. Unplugging and replugging the monitor doesn't help. Restarting the X server does help, but I lose everything I had open in my session. What is at fault here, Fedora 8, my video card, or my monitor?

Please help anyone I have a network problem. I have been running a network comprising 25 nodes using a Novell 4.1 version. When establishing the network some 20 years back the nodes were loaded/booted with MSDOS. Later this has changed to windows95 and windows98. But now when Windows xp is loaded and comes to the DOS prompt for running the original Clipper program the DOS prompt is not showing the path in full. When we use Windows xp the mapped drives in the novell login script are not showing the path at the dos prompt. More clearely, at the dos prompt it shows only the mapped drive letter only. But this is not the case with Windows 95 and Windows 98, they show the prompt with detailed path. The same login script is used for Windows xp. for example
If we map G:= Vol1:\MAINCOMP\WORK1 when using Windows 98 at the dos prompt we get G:\MAINCOMP\WORK1> but with Windows xp at the dos prompt we get only G:\> In both the case above the command $P$G is already there.
Further if there is a subdirectory below the mapped drive ie if there is a subdirectory NEWWORK below WORK1 and if we changed to that subdirectory using CD then the prompt will be
G:\MAINCOMP\WORK1\NEWWORK> with WINDOWS 98
AND G:\NEWWORK> with WINDOWS XP
This problem casused much difficulty to the users as well as to me in understanding where we are actually!. Please help me. 61.1.227.94 11:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
After I upgraded from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8, my Java plugin stopped working. I have registered the plugin by creating a symlink from /usr/java/jreversion/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so (where version is the version of the JRE), and checked that libjavaplugin_so isn't found anywhere else in either the Mozilla Firefox install directory or my personal settings directory. When I start Firefox, about:plugins finds the plugin, but Java Console does not appear in the Tools menu, and no web pages recognise the Java plugin. This worked all well and great under Fedora 7, but not any more. What the heck is wrong? JIP | Talk 18:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for the name of a fairly old game for the Xbox (I think), but definately a console from that generation. The game focuses on running a pre-historic nomadic Tribe, and using yourself and those from your tribe to tackle monsters and whatnot. From what I remember, you can also customise your Tribes design, by altering the Headdress and colours etc. I only know of the game from reading an old Games magazine a while ago, and as such do not know its name or even if it was released. I know this isnt much information - but its all I have, and as such its fruitless to try and find it through Google or Wikipedia. Therefore the only person that will be able to give me the name of the game is someone who owns it (I imagine).
Again, sorry for the lack of information on the game, but I think its unique enough for anyone who has it to know what game it is. 90.207.56.119 23:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
