"Realistic" meaning that:
a) The alternative has a _faintly_ comparable set of applications
to those available on X;
b) The alternative provides similar capabilities to allow applications
run remotely;
c) The alternative is of _faintly_ comparable portability to X, which

Read the manual page for X, commonly found via "man X".
It indicates three well-known transports:
a) local, where you set DISPLAY to something like:
DISPLAY=:0
or
DISPLAY=:1
or
DISPLAY=:0.1
If you choose this, the most efficient local transport will be
chosen.
b) TCP/IP, where you specify a host name, like:
DISPLAY=somehost.somewhere.org:0.0
c) DECnet, where host/display are chosen thus:
DISPLAY=myvmshost::1
or
DISPLAY=yourvmshost::0.1

Thanks for all the help.
I needed bios=0x80 when the SCSI was the boot disk. I couldn't boot from the
SCSI disk unless this configuration option was specified. I didn't need it,
or rather, I needed it not to be there when the IDE drive was the boot disk.
Taking the option out fixed everything.
Thanks again.

Subject: RPM and Tarball Packages Dilema in Red Hat 6.2
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 00:40:28 -0700
I am currently testing the Beta Test Kernels now at 2.4.0. In order to
successfully compile and install the kernel you need to make sure you have
updated UTLILITES like modutils, util-linux, binutils etc, etc. All of
these changes are in the documentation files called 'changes'.
I am running Red Hat 6.2 and I have the dilema of very few RPM packages
available and most only available as tarball packages. I would like to
install the RPM packages, but they are not all available as RPM. Actually
most are only available as Tarball. I can deal with that but what I find
difficult is what happens to the version of the RPM that is cuurently
installed and running? For example, if I go to the GnoRPM utility in gnome,
the database still shows the older RPM package.
Now if I try to uninstall the RPM package first, before I install tarball
package, I sometimes get a message that there are dependancies and if I
unistall, my system may become unstable. So I am unwilling to uninstall the
RPM package before installing the tarball package, which has thus far worked
for me without any system problems. I am sure it will catch up to me one
day and I will be sorry for not uninstalling the RPM first.
So this is what I was told to do in #LinuxHelp
1) Either ignore the dependancy alert,
2) use --nodeps on RPM command line, which I was unable to find in the
GnoRPM utility in gnome,
3)Leave RPM alone and overwrite files and hope that is does just that and
does not install new files in a different directory?
4)Leave RPM alone and make sure you prefix the configure step. For Example,
./configure --prefix=/usr
Now step number 4 seems most feasibleto me, but how do I know what directory
to prefix? I was told most RPM's are installed in /usr/local so I hope
prefixing /usr alone would do the job?
My other dilema is what do I do if I want to install a RPM package over a
Tarball installed package? I heard you can run 'make uninstall' in the same
dir you unpacked your source? I tried that once and got a message that this
was unsported by this package. It was 'binutils' Tarball package I think.
Any one have any suggestions as to how to proceed any differently from my
summary thus far? I am running Red hat 6.2 and told when Red Hat Guiness
comes out later this month, it will have all the supporting updated
utilities for the 2.4.0 test kernels. But that really doesn't help me when
I want to test the 2.5 or 2.6 test kernels when they come out, I'll be right
back where I started before :(
I would really appreciate a responce.

Can anyone tell me where I can get 'lcrypt'? I'm trying to
compile util-linux to enable serpent encryption support in
losetup and mount so that I can use the loopback encrypted
file system. When doing a './configure' it states that I
need lcrypt. What library does lcrypt belong to? I'm running

that library that has 'lcrypt'.

Its possible that you have bad code which is causing a memory leak
somewhere. In the abscense of a swap file, this data can't be paged
out, even though its not being used at all. Have a look at top, sorted
by memory usage (press M) and see if you see anything interesting.
Also interesting would be how much time is spent as system time when
this is happening, and how much is eaten by emacs / X / whatever.

something you could try would be to up the priorty of your X session
slightly (or nice everything else down a bit) and see if that makes a
difference.
I'm surprised too that you see this behavior with 64Mb of RAM; I used
to have 64Mb, and whilst I'd occasionally swap a bit with X + emacs +
netscape, just X + emacs was generally ok.
You could also try a more recent kernel (assuming you're not already
running 2.2.17) and see if that helps...
cheers,
Phil

Hi all,
In kernel 2-2-14, is there a private data field in the sk_buff
structure which should be used internally in a network driver to pass
information between modules ?
I guess the cb[48] field is for that purpose but I can't find its
description in any documentation.
Please advice.

Better to forget about using the command-line ftp for this (it
is designed for user interaction after all) and use wget instead.

Subject: Don't waste your time unless you want to change your life

DON'T Waste your time unless you want to Change your Life!
Have you ever spent money on Lottery Tickets and not had your numbers even show
up?
Have you ever spent money on the Slot Machines in Reno, Las Vegas or Atlantic
City only to add to that already elusive Progressive Jackpot (does anybody ever
REALLY win that??)?
Have you ever spent way too much money at the Ball Park for Hot Dogs and Soda
to only be still hungry and need to buy even more food there (and at the prices
they charge!)?
Have you ever signed up for a raffle in a shopping mall only to have the Brand
new Lexus or other luxury vehicle go to someone who didn't need it or was in
the area on Vacation?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions... Then read on...
This isn't a SCAM... $6 isn't that much money... I've spent more on Lottery
Tickets and on Hot Dogs at the Ball Park.
Most of the Luxuries of life are worth money... but what if you could invest
that little bit of money and turn it into something a lot more...
A while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and
came across an article similar to this one that said you could make thousands
of dollars within weeks, with only an initial investment of $6.00! Naturally, I
thought, "Yeah Right... this is definitely a scam", but between the curiosity
and the thought of some mounting bills I kept on reading. Anyway, what it said
was that you send $1 to each of the six names and addresses stated in this
article. Then you place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at
number 6, and then post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. NO CATCH, that
was it!!!
I figured, "what have I got to lose except six stamps and six dollars, right?"
I've spent more on lottery tickets so I invested the $6, and GUESS WHAT?!?.
Within seven days, I started to get money in the mail!!! I was totally shocked.
Being skeptical, I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming
in. In my first week, I made about $25. By the end of the second week, I had
made a total of over a $1000 dollars!!! In the third week, I had over $10,000
and it is still growing. This is my fourth week now, and I have made a total of
just over $42,000 and it's still coming!!! Not everyone will have the same
success... some will be more and some will be less... But STILL!
It's certainly worth $6 and 6 stamps, PRINT A COPY OF THIS ARTICLE NOW, so you
can get the information off it, as you need it. I promise that if you follow
the directions exactly, then you will start making more money than you thought
possible by doing something so easy.
Here are the easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of
paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place
ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through
the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6
envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a
piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You
are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us
I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it
all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they
confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following
addresses:
#1) Peter K
Asturias 6-4-A
E-29640 Fuengirola
Spain
#2) Claudio Jos� Arribas G�mez.
c/Ciudad de picasent, 4 piso 15
Parque Alcosa
41019 Sevilla.
Espa�a
#3) Ana Suarez Pastor
c/Sabino Arana-49;Esc. 2�;6� izq

#4) Rozaina Ibrahim

12580 BENICARLO (CASTELL�N)
Espa�a
#6) B J DeLurey
3505 Sonoma Blvd, #20-233
Vallejo, CA 94590
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on
the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to
original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but
remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal!
If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal laws.
Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can
use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful
because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the
program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come
your way.
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works... Also,
make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information
off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow these directions
exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by
doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print
it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a scam ; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it
is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions
are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the
$1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one
dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your
name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in
CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six
people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in
business!
---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to
the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will
copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the
letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll
through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message
button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups
and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for
each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT
YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 2OO** That's it! You will begin receiving money
from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box
due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay
anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver
it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of
the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with
my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is
another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at
#4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those
125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only
receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the
fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at
#2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those
3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at
#1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00!
With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer
on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 and start
posting again. The thing to remember is this: do you realize that thousands of
people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles
everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have
said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what!
What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users
and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and
are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work.

No, the "files" in /proc are not files in the usual sense. There is no
permanent storage associated with the /proc filesystem. These files are
more like "special devices" where access is handled by kernel code.
While it might be possible to mimic file-like behaviour (e.g. you read
the current state and write a new state), this is not the default
behaviour.

Files in the /proc directory do not exist. They are phantom files
built on-the-fly by kernel code (static or modules), and their
contents are normally not alterable through a text editor.
In your case, you won't get anywhere trying to edit /proc/interrupt.
Instead, if you want to disable access to a specific interrupt, you
are going to have to find the driver that allocated the interrupt, and
disable it. This way, the interrupt won't be registered with Linux,
and the kernel logic that shows /proc/interrupt won't display the
interrupt as enabled.
