I just installed root-tail from the ports and when I root-tail -f /var/log/message and it prints the output from /var/log/messages on the "top left" of the window and the text is kinda small. I was wondering 3 things. First I would like to know how do I change the font size, second how could I make it go to the "bottom left" but not all the way down so it would cover the toolbar of fluxbox. I dont want it to cover the toolbar. Third is if anyone uses root-tail could you post what options you use when you load root-tail? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > E-Mail: Bryan Cassidy > Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6.2 > Gaim: bsdsys > Yahoo Messenger: bsdsys > > Please do not simply Reply-To: Bryan Cassidy > It is OK to Cc: me as long as you send the > Reply back To: the original mailing lists.
