Re: Kernel Configurations
Hi, Newer kernels sometimes have new config options, so just dropping an old .config file in does not always work. My advice is to always run make (menu.x)?config again. manoj Well, a new kernel release would have to suddenly change the names for some of its options (not to say that it won't), such as CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD (for your floppy drive) being changed to CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION. Looking at the .config file shows that things that you want are set to y and things that you don't are commented out, so dropping in an old .config would work provided the above (admittedly far out) example didn't happen, and the loss would be not getting the latest'n'greatest kernel features in your latest'n'greatest kernel. That being said, I wouldn't (and in fact didn't) drop in an old .config file, but would run make [menu|x]config again while more'ing my old .config in another console or window.

The support has been terrific !! I have notyiced the same thing OTOH I would consider you luckey :) I just recently took off Win95 completley and am running Linux exclusively now. There are a whole suite of tools I'd need to be running on the linux side before I could make that switch. For example, I'd need to be running ppp and Navigator and Navigator's email before I'd consider dropping Win95. For another thing, I'd need a Word-like word processor and access to both the SCSI ZIP drive and the Cannon Bubble Jet 4300 printer (the latter for resumes for both the wife and me) before I'd give up win95. The list goes on :) I was saying that for the longest time..thren I just took the plunge...I am now using Communiator (Netscape 4.04 ) for Linux...it is nice works great! ppp...not hard to setup at all...just takes a little time to learn...once you know how.. its a piece of cake! (ocurse...after hardware failures...and all sorts of other crap..ive had to reinstall linux 5 times and re-do ppp each time...) Word Processordunno... there is emacs and sex for good editors... as for more Word Like...check out Aplixware from RedHat...I saw a screen shot of it... looks at least as good as word...prtobably better Zip drives check out Sunsite ..they have HOWTOs on Zip drives... I just saw them today in fact Printing is also rather easy under linux takes a few hours of reading docs...but once you do it... you say Damnit...now I feel stupid that it took me so long, that was easy (can you tell I been there and done that?) Just yesterday I decided to try the loadlin route and when it got done, I had a bunch of garbage added to my autoexec.bat so that it automatically went into loadlin every time I booted. In addition, because of the presence of the ZIP drive, I discovered that somewhere in the guts of Win95 there is a call to the Iomega guest program and it hangs there and never does make it into the DOS command prompt. That was the first time I'd tried to boot into DOS after I installed the ZIP drive. Didn't know I couldn't do that anymore. Too bad Loadlin doesn't run as a Windows application. I can set up a DOS boot diskette, but that sure seems gruesome and a last resort. it couldyou might be able to make a Shortcut to command.com tell it that it has to run in DOS mode and that you wish to specify the environment... take out any Guest calls...and add the loadlin to the fake autoexec.bat that you are using to specify the environment (yes I ocasionally work in an un-orthodox manner...) That's the same deal about boot diskettes I mentioned above. I'd like to avoid them if possible. I hate boot disks too..but sometimes they are a necissary evil One discussion thread has been along the lines of just what you mentioned: don't install it during the redhat install, but afterwards, build the lilo.conf by hand and tell it to put the lilo boot manager into the boot sector of the linux partition rather than in the MBR for the entire disk. I only sai dthat because whejn _I_ installed Debian... lilo was broken...could have been my crappy machine tho As for RedHat... What version of RedHat is it? 4.2 I only have 4.1 ...5.0 is really Windozy ...I didn't liek it...it5s also AFU I started on RedHat an dam now a debian user RedHat is great for Windows Users tho...good to get you addicted so you switch completely to linux :) My guru sez that maybe Caldera is even more friendly to newbie's like me that are coming from the Windoze/Mac world. never played with Cadera.-Steve -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Kernel Configurations
Hi, My initial posting seems to have been misunderstood. I meant, *do* drop the old .config file in, so that when you re-run make config, the old answers would be the default. The reasons for running the make config again is that you catch any totally new config options. I do not think it likely that config option shall morph into other config option names.

Lilo was installed on the first superblock of /dev/sdb1. At this point I tried to install Debian 2.0 with floppies (but the install menu said it was Debian 1.3 ...). Everything was OK until I reached the base 3 floppy which was apparently corrupted. So I decided to re-boot NT in order to make a new sane floppy but I can't : the computer says me : Missing operating system First I thought that it was just because Debian has somehow installed something on the master boot record, so I booted dos with dos system floppy and I did fdisk /MBR in order to clear the MBR and I verified that my dos partion was OK; but I didn't work out. I also tried to remove the second hard-drive (/dev/sdb) but it still tells me : Missing operationg system Well I really don't understand because I've installed slackware many times without any problem. I hope I was not too boring and that someone may help me because I'm lost and by now I couldn't do anything at all. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: fetchmail 4.3.6 vs. m$ exchange
Hi,
The behaviour that you quote below is the same as what I got since
upgrading to fetchmail 4.3.6.
The quick solution, suggested by Arjan de Vet, is to add proto pop3 to
your .fetchmailrc (or as command line switches.) Apparently, probing
for IMAP capabilities in ms-exchange makes it confuse fetchmail. Perhaps
this gotcha could be added to the ms-exchange section of the fetchmail
FAQ.
Looking at the changelog, I suspect that:
* IMAP code can now deal with untagged responses during CAPABILITY
(at least one server issues the motd in a bunch of * OK {ALERT] lines
in response to the first command after connecting.)
is related to the changed behaviour.

Don't know if you're interested in this input, but if you use
sendmail instead of smail, it can just automatically use procmail
to deliver mail. Thus, you don't need a .forward file at all.
You just have to make sure that procmail is installed and deliver
is not when you install sendmail. Then sendmail will configure
itself to use procmail for all local mail delivery.
You can do the same with smail, using some changes to
/etc/smail/transports.
This is what I used to have (I think it was created by smailconfig):
local: driver=appendfile, from, local, inet, return_path, unix_from_hack;
append_as_user, check_user, file=/var/spool/mail/${lc:strip:user},
group=mail, mode=0660, notify_comsat, suffix=\n
Change the above to this:
local: driver=pipe, from, local, return_path, unix_from_hack;
user=root, cmd=/usr/bin/procmail -f- -d $($user$)
Now all locally delivered mail will be handled by procmail. Mail for users
that don't have a .procmailrc will go into /var/spool/mail/username,
just like it should. You don't need a .forward with this setup.

Ok - you can use mgetty, but I've found it easier to use efax (also a debian package) - also, efax supports older fax modems (class 1) than mgetty does (mgetty requires class 2 or higher). Also, what your wife needs to fax needs to be in either postscript, plain text, or an image file. Most programs that are able to print documents can produce postscript output. If you're going to fax postscript files, you also need the 'gs' and 'gs-fonts' packages. (I think that the 'gs-aladin' package instead of 'gs' will also work, but I don't use it) Here's what I did: I installed efax, and then edited the /etc/efax.rc file and replaced the obvious things that needed replacing (there are bits that say things like ---Your name here--- - it's pretty obvious what needs to be replaced). Since my modem is an old class 1 fax modem, I had to add a line to /etc/efax.rc file saying: CLASS=1 You can test whether your modem is a class 1 or class 2 (or even class 2.0) fax modem by doing the following in minicom: AT+FCLASS=0 AT+FCLASS=1 AT+FCLASS=2 AT+FCLASS=2.0 Some of these commands will return OK, some will return ERROR - the last command that says OK indicates the class of your modem. On my machine, AT+FCLASS=0 and AT+FCLASS=1 both return OK, but the other commands return ERROR. You only need to add a 'CLASS=' line to /etc/efax.rc if you have a class 1 modem. Once you've done this, and set up your /etc/efax.rc appropriately, you can fax things with: fax send 555-1212 file.ps (of course, you would presumably use a different phone number and filename) More details on other fax commands (receiving, etc.) can be found in the 'fax' manpage. One word of caution - faxing postscript creates a load of temporary files in the current directory, one for each page - file.ps.001, file.ps.002, etc. so you'll have to remove them with something like rm file.ps.[0-9][0-9][0-9] after you've faxed something. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

RE: Problems with dual boot NT/linux
Try setting the bootable flag using Liunx's fdisk and then rebooting. If you get an Operating system not found or Non-system disk message the boot sector on the boot partition has been corrupted. (The boot sector is not the same as the MBR. The MBR is the first sector on the first drive. A boot sector is the first record on a partition. The MBR code loads the boot sector code from the partition marked bootable. The boot sector code is then responsible for loading the OS. Each OS will have an associated boot sector loader.) I suspect that the NT boot sector was somehow corrupted. This code reads the NT boot.ini file and allows you to dual boot between DOS/NT. You can restore the NT boot sector. You'll need to make a set of (three) NT installation disks off of the NT CD. Boot to disk one, and insert disk two when prompted. Eventually you'll reach a menu asking if you want to install NT or fix a previously installed NT setup. Take the fix or repair option. I don't remember the exact set of menu options, but when I did it all of the directions seemed to be pretty clear. The whole process takes about 10 minutes tops.

Re: User manager for X
Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A while back a friend of mine showed me a Red Hat machine they were running at work.They had X setup, and there was some sort of user manager tool they had up there, which supposedly came with the system. It did all kinds of snappy things like add and remove users, allowing you to pick shells, and automatically setting up default config files for the selected shells. There are some of these on sunsite, so you can install one in /usr/local/ if you want. www.linuxhq.com has a nice browser for sunsite. Anyone know what that was? Running anything similar? IMHO, these tools are nice to look at, but not *that* usefull. If you have many users, you need scripting abilities to masschange something. I don't know any GUI usertool which can do this. And most times, I manage my server using telnet, sometimes over a modom link. So no way using a GUI.

web forms killing ppp!
Hi all, This problem is really getting on my nerves. Occasionally when I fill out a form on a web page it will kill my ppp connection.(The ppp connection is over a modem.) Usually short forms, only a few fields, work fine but the problem seems to happen on forms with a large number of fields. When I submit a form the modem does not drop carrier but the ppp link dies. I can't ping or do anything over the link. Eventually pppd drops carrier because I have lcp-echo-failure set. I get the same results with lynx and netscape 4.04. What could be causing this? Could it be something in my ppp/options file, what would I look for? Any hints would be appreciatedThanks.

Lyx, StarOffice, word [was Re: Win95 and Linux:
Actually all of that list is possible, with the possible exception of M$Word... Okay, I havent used it.. but what about Lyx?? Ive heard good things about it.. Comments? I use lyx regularly. It's not like Word. But for technical writing, it's better. IT generates latex, and is far easier to use than equation editor. (BTW, version .12 is just releast). For those that are among the other three people in the world that used the formula command in the Mac versions of word (from 1.0 to 5.1), lyx is even better. I hung onto macs for a few extra years do to those commands (with the commands and a couple of macros, I could take notes full speed in phd math, econ, and stat classes [which i can't manage by hand]). The machine on my desk for my dissertation runs linux so that I can use lyx. Wihtout lyx, it would have been another Mac. Really, it's that good. But lyx is for generating stuff like latex (no, I don't know a bit of latex). IT doesn't do form letters, html, etc. For those, star office 4 is great. IT is (apparently) word like in its word processor. It's free for personal use, and does the typing correction, etc. I don't know about the final release, but some of the merge commands were missing from the beta. And it's also great for html; i don't know any html, and i'm able to toss up pictures of my newborns for grandparents. rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

LCP, IPCP, and ppp
I am having trouble getting connected to the local ISP with ppp. I have read all I could find including the mail archives, RFCs, and the how-tos. I tried calling my ISP to figure out what pppd they are running and they couldn't tell me, although the guy realized he had a Sun Ultra on his desk (so perhaps Sun pppd). I was wondering if anyone has any insight into the following problem which involves the LCP and IPCP: The negotiation begins with several LCP ConfReqs. by both sides. Eventually my box agrees and sends a ConfAck. However, I rarely receive a ConfAck from the ISP even though I've ConfReq'ed the same options that I've ConfAck'ed. Eventually after sending more unanswered ConfReqs. my box closes the connection. On occasion (less than 10% of the time) I will get a ConfAck from the ISP and my box sends a IPCP ConfReq. but never hears from the ISP. After sending several more IPCP ConfReqs. with no response from the ISP, my box closes the connection. Does anyone have any idea why I am not receiving those responses? I have altered the timeout controls to avoid timeouts, but that didn't solve anything. I have also disable the lcp-echo feature. Could this be related to the pppd running at the ISP?

Re: Sending email(smail)
I would like to have email that I send when offline be queued for later deliver when I connect. How can I do this? When mail is sent when you're offline, the mail daemon queues it, because it can't connect to the remote host. It retries every so often for a few days, then gives up. The easiest thing to do is to just let the daemon queue it, and then, when you're online, run the `runq' command to have it attempt delivery immediately. Of course there are other solutions but this is the simplest. If you use diald it won't work of course. Maybe the diald filters can be configured to not bring the connection up for packets sent to the smtp port? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
