ncftp-3.0beta12
I haven't been able to get a reply out of the author of ncftp about this, so I figured I'd try the helpful people on this list. My question is this. Is there any way in ncftp-3.0beta12 to set the time it sleeps between redials? The default seems to alternate within the 18-20 range.

non-removable file
I had my computer lose power, and when I rebooted it fsck reported that I needed to run it manually. I did so, and it seemed to fix the problem. However, today I noticed a change in one of my files in my home directory. It looked like this: c--xr---wx 1 130918308 35, 32 Sep 8 1996 README I cant seem to find any way to remove it, even as root. I tried everything that I could think of, and it wouldn't even let me change the permissions on it. Any ideas on how I can deal with this?

JDK 1.1.5 and Java ICQ

I get the following error when ICQ tries to display information in text boxes: Warning: Name: textfield Class: XmTextField Character 'S' not supported in font. Discarded.

compiling joystick.o

visudo
While I was editing my /etc/sudoers file using the visudo command, my computer lost power. When I was able to restore power, everything seemed to be functioning alright. Except, I tried to run the visudo command, and got the following error: visudo: sudoers file busy, try again later. I tried removing the file, then renaming a backup copy to /etc/sudoers, and it still gave the same error. Then I tried removing and reinstalling the package, only to get the same error. If it makes a diff, I'm running hamm. Thanks for any help you can provide, Corey Miller --- Corey Miller This looks like a job for . legal tender!

Thanks -Paul I don't completely understand your problem, but I do believe that I have at least a partial solution for you. Lynx can be used to download files. All you have to do is specify the -dump flag, and it will dump whatever you load to stdout. For instance, you could do something like this: lynx -dump http://web.cps.msu.edu/~mille542/index.html index.html.

NCR53c406a problems
Hello, I own the Acculogic ISApport 10/P SCSI card, which is built around the NCR53c406a chipset. I am running kernel 2.0.33 with SCSI support, as well as the NCR53c406a driver, built in to the kernel. In my lilo.conf file, I have tried all of the following: append=ncr53c406a=0x140,10,1 append=ncr53c406a=0x140,10,0 append=ncr53c406a=0x140,10 append=ncr53c406a=0x140 And all of them produced the same error messages: NCR53c406a: no available ports found scsi : 0 hosts. scsi : detected total. The only device I have connected to the card is my IOMEGA JAZ drive. If you can offer me any help whatsoever, I would very much appreciate it.

C locales and 'history'
I just did a fresh install of Debian 1.3.1, and have run across a few problems. First, I get the following two warnings (that appear to be related). This one comes up when I try to install some new packages (assumably the ones whose install programs use perl scripts). perl: warning: Setting locale failed for the categories: LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = (unset), LC_COLLATE = (unset), LANG = us are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the C locale. This second warning shows up whenever I start emacs. Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged My other problem is with the 'history' command. For some reason, it will only scroll up to the last command issued. And, when i type in 'history', it doesn't display anything. Incidentally, my prompt shows the number of the current command in the history list, and it does get incremented. Corey --- Corey Miller This looks like a job for . legal tender!

MS IntelliPoint
I'm sorry if this thread has come up before (which I'm sure it has), but I can't seem to find debian-relevent help anywhere. I have an MS Intellipoint mouse, and would like to get the wheel to at least fuction as a third button, hopefully even use it to scroll. So far the only things that I could find were patches to the source of X Windows servers and gpm. If this is the only way to do it, could I get any instruction on how to go about patching and compiling th source for there programs? Or, is there an easier way to do it under debian?
