anyone know how to change the font in Firefox in Ubuntu 8.04?

i mount my externel HDD (ntfs)
so the command is
$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/

so the problem is when i
$ cd /mnt/
it say bash permission denied .

guy any ideal?
thank

try sudo

sudo cd /mnt

if still cannot, do a listing

ls -al /mnt and paste the result here

ya i did try with sudo.
it say
$ ls: /mnt:permission denied

Ok guys, its Ryuuga's lazy to search the web time. As such, i will list my problems in hope of someone helping me...

I'm on ubuntu 8.04

1[SOLVED]) I'm looking for a download manager as good as FDM. I've tried, cURL, d4x, downthemall you name it. but none of which got maximum(and stable) speeds when i download from megaupload premium. Or I must be really stupid unable to configure it properly.
moreover, I installed wine to use FDM, but the download frequently gets stuck and eventually hangs the program. When that happens, i can't restart the program resulting in a re-install everytime it hangs...
I'm looking for something that breaks the file into few sections and download them seperately(multiple connections) thus achieving max speeds.
EDITED: Problem solved by using Axel

Theres one more called prozilla it has a GUI but i've yet to try it yet.

2) I'm using compiz with 4 desktop wallpapers. Forget about showing the desktop icons, My desktop wallieS always goes black when I boot the comp.

3[solved with mplayer] playing videos on VLC is pixelated compared to when i was using MPC
an example:


Note: windows media is actually MPC, wrongly labeled.. Notice the difference....
In fact, i actually had this problem on Windows as well. Thats the main reason i never used VLC player before =/ Always loved MPC =)

Note2: I solved the problem by using Mplayer instead. Its perfect and just the quality im looking for, however, i still cant seem to play mkv and mp4 HD files smoothly with mplayer nor vlc

4) My belkin f5d7050 wireles usb dongle goes crazy once in a while. the LED will keep blinking even though my internet activity is null(no data transferred) thus, resulting in slow connection when i REALLY need it to transfer data(surfing, downloading, etc)

PS: Please note that i DID do a search on the net and came up with various solutions, all of which are for older versions of ubuntu. I thought maybe, since I'm on 8.04, some of these problems might actually have been fixed.
PS2: I seem to be solving my own problems one by one..

As such, please help me oh mighty Linux sifus ^^

are you running more than 1 synaptic at the same time?

nope, only 1 syanptic ..
and i have downloaded aleady banshee file into my hdd,

looks like it only effects ur wallpaper

no it effects the whole screen.. i've narrowed it down to the graphics card la.. something is messed up with the card... anyone has any idea what may have caused this?..
i put my friends graphics card into my pc and everything is fine.. just my graphics card is crazy...

sometimes its ok sometimes its distorted.. like now the screen is fine.. but earlier it was crazy.. with like small green boxes here and there... black boxes... black lines across the screen.. various coloured dots all over the screen... its a circus here lol

need help here..
i have 2 configure network using linux base..
so i choose ubuntu..
how can i do that..
thz..

reinstall ATI/NV drivers first

system -> administrator -> network -> unlock

all my drivers are up to date..
