RH9 KDE Control Center

[David Mangani]

This might be one of those "DUH" questions. I recently started using KDE after 
getting kppp straightened out. So, I find this pretty nice "control center" 
right off the KDE menu, has some nice easy to set options ( particularly 
kernel tuning ). I log compleatly out of my user account and back in as root, 
then go into control center and attempt to optimize my kernel. I'm trying to 
change the default from PIII compermine ( so it says ) to K6,k62,k63 which is 
what I have. I am able to click on the option and change the red x next to 
the k6 option to a nice green check mark. After I do that and click apply it 
tells me to run "make symlinks dep". I tried typing that into the "Run" 
option off the KDE menu, can that be done or do I need to run it from a 
console or what. Running it from the "Run" command returns no errors, but it 
also does not seem to do anything. The kernel parameters still revert to the 
old baseline values. 


TIA
