Hello,

I have some questions:

about Date/Time

Can I only change the date when I give also the time ?? Example:

date 970230 doesn't work, date 9702301215 works !! Why ??

about ScreenSaver

I have installed the star screen saver in my "/etc/sysconf" file. But
after 5 minutes my screen becomes blank, and I see no stars ?? Why ??
When I use "modstat" I see the star_module installed, but it doesn't
work.

about screenmap

What does this option ?? Can anybody explain me this option ?? I have
found one *.smp file but I can't see what it does.

about  fonts

I have intalled iso-8x*.fnt in my "/etc/sysconf" file. But I can't see
any changes when I didn't use this option. Can anybody explain when this
function is used and when not ??

I would be very pleased if anybody can explain my questions and tell me
what I am doing wrong.

thanks,

	Wouter
