hi,
1. how can i change the default browser of evolution (mozilla) to epiphany, so that links in mails will get openend via epiphany?
2. how can i (or can i at all) change the icons of all files of same sort (like folders, mp3s etc.) without having to change the whole icon-theme?
3. when i copy files from win-pcs over the network via smb:/// in nautilus, copying works, but at the end a pop-up screen appears saying "you don't have the permission to change the file or it's parent directory" which is kind of funny because i just _copied_ it. after clicking "abort", the file nevertheless won't get deleted on my pc and seems to work well. i never had those problems in rh8 or rh9, so this is a bug, right?!
4. does someone know if there's anything in dev. so that you finally can stream from smb-shares via nautilus?
5. i tried to install the svg-themes over from http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/download/ seemed to compile and install fine (i installed both packages-"librsvg-2.4 and "gnome-themes-extras-0.4" following the resp. install-instructions, i.e. running "configure" before), now what...? i mean, do those extra themes are supposed to show up in the regular theme-manager (which, in my case, they do not!), or do i have to do somehow manually use them-would be nice if someone could fill me in! also, afaik, there are currently no rpms of these themes for fc1, so it would be cool (because some of the themes look really awesome imo) if one of the rep.-maintainers could make one.
as always,
thx for any help!

At a guess, go to Preferences -> Prefered Applications and make the change there, I believe that is where Evolution (and most other apps) pick up the default browser.

Personally I find this terribly sucky, but that just me. The default action when dragging a file/foulder from the smb:/// thing appears to be move.
The error message you are receiving is due to you not having permisions to delete the file after copying. However the copy does work perfectly.
It would be nice if there was a similar ability in windows where you right click and drag the file, then when releasing the right click you have numerous options, the most usefull being.
Copy the file, Move the File, Create Shortcut (sym link) for the file.
I do miss that.

Hope this helps.

You miss it in Fedora under GNOME? Drag with the middle mouse button. You get a menu with move here, copy here, link here, cancel. And if you're dragging an image and the destination object supports it then you can also set as background.
I have to agree that the default move action from smb: is rather unexpected. You can easily make your complaint known to the upstream GNOME.org folks through their Bugzilla, of course.

Nope. It's still very much:
mount -t smbfs 192.168.1.1:/share /mnt/share
and playing off that way.
Please reply privately to this newbie question:
Why are you settling on Fedora versus, eg, Debian? It seems like they have similar goals, ie public cocmmunity etc. I had a good thing going with RH8, but I am having more trouble than expected getting to the same functionality with Fedora. I'm trying to decide whether to keep persisting and learning Fedora, or whether I might better switch to learning Debian. I understand the Debian way might have a steeper learning curve, but it seems it is very reliable and easy to use once you get the hang of doing it their way.
What are the advantages of Fedora over Debian at this point for the "hobbyist" - email, websites, etc, eg not a "big business" user - RH wants them to use RHE anyway.
Tnx - John
Don't know whether it is a topic for this list but then.. The only answer to your answer will lie in your own experimentations. The best path is to try several distro and pick up the one your feeling more comfortable with. Whether you pick Debian, Mandrake, Suse or Fedora they all will do what you want once you get used to it. Whatever your choice is, none will do what you want "out-of-the-box" the way you want it to. Thay all have pros & cons, as I said it's just a matter of choice.
If you are used to RH8, you should be able to get RH9 or FC1 to work the same way, even at the price of some tweaks. If you were running RH8 happilly, there is no reason why an upgrade to FC1 would not do the trick.
If you need some help, we are here to help ;-) T.
