I apologize for simply adding another post to this needlessly
cross-posted drawn-out thread, but I'm hoping that this one will be
one of the last, once these few points are clarified.

They shouldn't need to -- you can get decent advice from Linux
newsgroups, if you bother to ask nicely.

Assuming this statement is even true, you're saying that a child, who
has been deemed smarter than you (which is not hard to believe), is
mentally retarded. If you really meant to say this, doesn't it then
say a lot about *you*?

Well, actually, I believe those two statements don't work too well
together. If you feel you don't have to pay, and people here are
suggesting that you *do*, then the obvious conclusion is not for all
those people to leave, but for *you* to leave.
Quite seriously, you've worn out your welcome. Nobody is going to
help you now -- most have forgotten your original problem, and aren't
all that inclined to go back and look it up. If you're pissed off
about the warm welcome you *didn't* get when you signed on to the net
(for example, the people framing your account and making you switch
ISPs), stop, look at your behaviour, and try to figure out why.
I'm not saying you're stupid. You've inadvertently said many things
to that effect already, and whether they are true or not is not my
place to judge. I'll simply say that I think your level of maturity
leaves a lot to be desired, and that you should clean up your act or
leave until adolescence cleans it up for you.
Not getting the tech support you need is not the end of the world.
Try looking at http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/ for your
answers, as I don't believe HOWTO documents care one way or the other
how much you yell and curse at them. If that fails, come back when
you're ready to act in a civil manner.

Can anyone help? I am able to get my 16MB Banshee AGP card to work with the
generic VGA server, however the color is bad and I can't get the virtual

Subject: Accessing PPP (usernet) using accounts <other> than root - Help!
Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 19:01:16 -0000
I'm pretty sure this is a common question and as I remember I actually saw
some headers in a linux newsgroup about the same problem but the message had
expired on the news server and I couldn't read it.
How do I access PPP connections (usernet) on accounts <other> than root?
I set the modem and PPP conection's as root, logged on and went to a few
sites etc then logged off. When I logged back in as regular user acct. it
displayed the following in the term window:
** Warning **: Invalid cast from (NULL) pointer to 'GtkObject'
and a 'Warning' box appeared beneath the term window which displayed:
No user-controllable interfaces found.
Please help..... :( Gary.

Recompile your kernel, but this time configure it to enable APM

Shut up fartbrain. I'll stay if I feel like it. Nobody has to tell
nobody to leave. I can do all the name-calling and insulting and

Just put a thermal switch on the power-supply fan. Make it turn on
at, say, 40 degC. These cost less than $3 I should think.

Hi,
The daemons are timing out trying to resolve their own hostname. Make sure
you are using reserved ip addresses eg, 192.168.xx.xx. Otherwise you may
have collisions with names of real places on the internet as far the
nameservers are concerned.
I would personally would use /etc/hosts with your machine such that:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.3 myhostname.yourispdomain.com myhostname
where 192.168.1.3 is the IP of your machine and 192.168.1.0 is the local
ethernet (netmask 255.255.255.0)
'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0' to bring it up...
'route add -net 192.168.1.0' for routing say...
And a /etc/resolv.conf of...
search mydomain myispdomain
nameserver 209.30.0.9
nameserver 209.30.0.100
..where the nameservers are the real ones you use. I am assuming this
what you might want.
It is important to get the hostname issue right because problems will
show up left and right with things like: slow Sendmail,
slow telnet logons, broken Samba browsing, slow Emacs start-ups, etc.
Hope this helps,
Dave

Hi there.
I'm searching for the jumper settings of the LX770 mother board (baby,
486 PCI) that I have.
Is there someone that knows where I can find some kind of documentation?
Thanks in advance, Massimo.

It sounds like you are using the usernet program from radhat 5, so I'll
answer based on that assumption.
You have not set up the ppp interface to allow any user to use it.
As root: run control-panel and open "System Configuration" (icon is a
person with a baton).
select PPP/SLIP/PLIP and click on the interface name in the
"Configurations" list box there. The bottom radiobutton, "Allow any
user..." needs to be pushed.
