exmh can't display messages with indexes 9999 ?
Hello, This seems to be an exmh problem, although maybe it is an nmh issue. I'm running nmh version 0.22 and exmh version 2.0.2 on a Debian hamm system. Message indexes in my inbox have grown to beyond 13000 messages. But exmh can't display any message with index greater than (five digits). The first line of these messages show up in the Table of Contents, but nothing appears in the Message Display window. The message index for these messages shows up as three digits pre-pended by a '?', e.g. '?368'. If I click on a message with index less than 1 (no '?'), then the message appears in the Message Display window. nmh seems to be able to handle the five digit indexes OK. I can do 'show +inbox 13520' for instance, and read the message. So it seems like exmh can't handle message indexes greater than four digits? Or maybe there is a configuration for this? This all seems to beg the question: Does nmh allow message indexes ever to wrap-around at a certain limit or get recycled? BTW, I have been using mutt ever since I first ran into this problem. It doesn't have this problem because it uses an indirect index to refer to messages. Thanks for any insight anyone might be able to provide. --ken P.S.

Moonlight Creator and pthreads problem.
I have a Debian libc6 (upgraded from libc5). So let's start with that in mind. I recently picked up the Moonlight Creator package in the Unstable distribution and installed it and it's required components. (using dselect) The problem is that I receive a core dump when I attempt to run it. I traced the problem (I believe) to libpthread libraries in the /lib directory. These are the thread libraries I currently have in /lib: libpthread-0.7.so libpthread.so.0 - libpthread.so.0.6 libpthread.so.0.6 When I set LD_PRELOAD to libpthread-0.7.so Moonlight loads and runs correctly (provided that is I run it from an rxvt/xterm session as Window Maker doesn't execute a shell (thereby giving no environment) to a program). Without this LD_PRELOAD statement the program core dumps. I have not installed libpthreads in dselect so I assume that these libraries are a part of the libc6-dev stuff, else its laying around from the older libc5 installation I had. So: 1. Which libpthread libs should I have? 2. Is it safe to remove libpthread.so.0.6 in lieu of libpthread-0.7.so? I can get Moonlight Creator to run as long as I run it from an rxvt/xterm and set LD_PRELOAD appropriately. There must be some easy solution, yes? I have already tried creating an alias in my .xsession, but since WindowMaker (like most window managers) doesn't give a program a shell upon execution this makes no difference. I've also tried setting LD_PRELOAD from my .xsession.. the most noticeable things were that my rxvt/xterm sessions totally disobeyed their settings in my .Xdefaults file. Most notably Netscape refused to run. Any ideas on what's wrong or what needs to be changed? -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble?

Off Subject: Mother board inquiry
Hi I hope someone can send or point me to specs on a motherboard. I want to install this in my wife's machine. We plan to run a dual boot Linux/ Lose95. It is a 486 Dx2/100 PCI mother board having the designation PVI-486SP3 Rev 1.21 stenciled on it. If you know who makes this board or have a manual (or can point me to this information) please let me know. The bios is marked Award Software INC (c)1995, ISA/PCI 486 S/N: 818932326 V_ The support chips (all 2 of them) are marked SiS 85C496 and SiS 85C497. There are 3 PCI, 3 ISA, and 1 PCI/ISA combination peripheral slots. Thanks for any light you can shed on this. ==David --- LINUX: the FREE 32 bit OS for [3456]86 PC's available NOW!

XFree86 3.3.2 Mach64 noise (Rage Pro AGP card)
I just upgraded to XFree86 3.3.2, hoping that the noise problems with my ATI [EMAIL PROTECTED] (4MB, AGP) would be fixed. (The noise appears as a evenly scattered white and black pixels to the left of a window, whenever its contents is changed/updated.) The problem wasn't gone, but I found this comment in the Known Problems section of lib\x11\doc\README.Mach64): o With high refresh rates on certain cards (VT-A3 and CT-D) noise can become a problem in 32bpp mode. This usually only happens with refresh rates of 85Hz or greater and can be fixed by using a lower refresh rate (e.g., 72Hz or 75Hz). I decided to try out different display modes, to see if the noise still appeared. These are the results (Y marks that noise appears, N no noise, and n/a that I couldn't test the mode due 4MB limit): Resoultion Hsync/Vsync/pixelclock 8bpp 16bpp 24bpp 32bpp 640x480 44KHz/85Hz /36.00 NN Y Y 800x600 53KHz/84Hz /56.25 NY Y Y 1024x76860KHz/75Hz /78.85 NY Y Y 1280x1024 (not sure) /108.00 YY n/a n/a Seems like it appears even with 16bpps, even with refresh rates less than 75Hz. I tried the no_block_write option, but that made no difference. There is no noise at all in Windows 95. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any specific reason why it appears? Is there a fix or work-around? Oskar Liljeblad ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kernel-source2.0.33
I've had some trouble with mounting iso9660 and msdos type fs with kernel 2.0.33. The kernel complains that these fs types are not supported. However, they were built as modules and exist in /lib/modules/2.0.33/ I saw a bug report about needing to include NLS support in the kernel to solve this problem. So I put NLS in as a module, but this had no effect. Any ideas on how to fix this. Running stable with kernel-source-2.0.33_2.0.33-3_all.deb from bo-updates.

Windows under DosEmu
I'm told that it's possible to run Windows under DosEmu. What's the truth in this? Please no responses asking why I want to run Windows... It's a need, not a desire. Thanks - Asher Haig [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only thing I'd rather own than Windows is English, or Chinese, or Spanish, because then I could charge you a $249 right to speak English and I could charge you an upgrade fee when I add new letters like 'N' and 'T'. -- Scott McNealy -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.

How can he configure his fstab to make it work? Same as any other cd. Can you be more specific in what you want to be able to do with it? And, another questions: are there good programs for writing CDs, copying things, creating Audio CDs, etc? If so, where can I find them? I have a Memorex CRW-1622 Rewriteable. I can read audio tracks using cdda2wav, with the drive installed as eide. To write disks I use cdrecord, but to get it to work the drive has to be loaded as a 'scsi' for cdrecord to work (and then I can't read audio tracks). Files can be read using either method. So far I have been unable to rewrite the rewritables. Mark -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: It's all so confusing, so should I get a CD Distribution?
On Sun, 15 Mar 1998, Tristan Day that's you! wrote: OK, I'm finding all this Linux thing really difficult because I'm using it on my home computer and have to go to my mother's college to download things, and I'm a total newbie no! I hate that word. I'm a Brit! so I don't have a clue when it comes to recompiling the Kernel to put NTFS compatibility on, and installing X Window etc. Therefore, I am considering buying a distribution. You should still compile a kernel with a distribution. I kernel compiled for your system will be better than the generic ones provided to load an boot an installation. Besides, if you don't compile your own, you probably won't be able to use your sound card, and stuff not provided with an installation kernel. 1) Would you recommend a distribution disk for a newbie? If you want the 'easy' way out, buy a hard drive that already has linux installed on it. Otherwise, bite the bullet, read the docs, and ask questions to the list. 2) Are there different ones to get? what are the differences? 3) I know this is a Debian list, but do you recommend Debian for user-friendliness? What are its advantages/disadv. ? I read an article about Red Hat being good, but it's expensive (£50 = $85) I think we are a friendly to users. Debian has better program dependancy/conflict checks than Red-Hat. Red-Hat has better commercial software support. You can download bot of them for free, or find them on disks cheap, but if you want some of the commercial software/support, thats what jacks up the price on red-hat. 4) Can I dual-boot Windows NT and Debian? Yes. Mark -- E-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
