You go on to mention historical revisionists shortly. A pretty well
established fact is that the people who win a war are likely to paint the
losers with a brush similar to the one you use in the above paragraph.
Apparently you don't really understand that the phrase is targeting "you".

It was them or you, was it? No, it wasn't. The argument "if the situation
were reversed..." does not hold water.
The actions carried out by the "white man" (your words) against the native
Americans were attrocious. It was not America's finest hour. Just accept it
and move on.

Subject: configuring non-standard audio device?
Date: 11 Jan 1999 17:12:38 GMT
I have a Pentium-II PC with both Win98 and Linux (SuSe 5.3). Instead of
the usual Soundblaster-compatible sound card, I have an Event Darla
digital audio recording/playback card (PCI) which currently handles
all *.wav type I/O under Win98. For MIDI I/O under Win98, I use the
Roland serial port MIDI driver connected to an external MIDI sound
module. In short, under Win98 I am able to do everything one normally
would want a Soundblaster card to do, but with much higher audio
quality.
My problem is that I have no idea how to get my audio setup to also
work under Linux, or whether it's even possible. I already suspect
that configuring the serial port for MIDI I/O will be impossible under
Linux (since it seems to require Win-specific audio drivers), but I
still harbor a glimmer of hope of making the Darla card work for
digital audio recording/playback. Does anyone have any idea how to
proceed?
thanks

Sounds like you formatted over the copy of the old MBR, but
that's OK; few try to reuse it anyway.
To replace the LILO MBR with a M$ MBR, use M$'s "fdisk /mbr"

Uh.... No? Typing "ln -s /bin/ls /usr/bin/dir" and having "dir"
always work (as long as PATH is reasonable) for all users is a

Red Hat 5.2 is great. I am a first time Linux user/installer. It took
about 20 minutes to get setup and running.
2 things caused me problems:
1. It is not clear how to set up the display resolution. After you run
Xconfiguator, be sure to run the setup program for the video display when
given the option. Other wise you end up with a video resolution of 300x100
when you run XFree86. It look like Windows 3.1 on a Commodore 128.
2. Read the entire manual before you start the installation. It only takes
about an hour. Had I done this, I would have realized that logging out and
shutting down the computer are 2 separate things. Logout and then shutdown.
This isn't clear unless you read the entire manual. The 2 commands are
about 100 pages apart

Hello,
I am wondering whether there exist Linux compatible hardware
devices that allow you to record video to a hard drive and/or
two people to see each other (and perhaps talk) over a network
including digital (eg. cable modem or twisted pair) and/or
analogue based (eg. modems) (very slow) networks.
In particular does Logitech's QuickCam Home(TM) hardware work
with Linux. What other manufacturers make this kind of stuff?
If so, what software (free or commercial) will I need to use?
Thanks in advance,

Well, actually, yes. Blankets from smallpox hospitals were distributed to
american indians (who had no natural resistance; mortality was >80%) in
various locations across British North America prior to the American
Revolution (don't forget that prior to the Revolutionary War "Americans"
were colonists but still British subjects - one cannot divest oneself of
responsibility by saying that the British, and the British alone, did it),
and also by Spain.
If I recall correctly, a combination of smallpox and scarlet fever, spread
from Spanish colonists and expeditions (either intentionally or
unintentionally), destroyed a rather advanced society in and around the
Ohio R. valley at the tail end of the 17th century. A great shame.
Following the American Revolution, you have the indian wars in the United
States during the mid 19th Century, which resulted in great bloodshed and
huge displacements of population following the expansion of the American
frontier. The Trail of Tears was not, unfortunately, an isolated
phenomenon.
If this does not make the point clear, I will spell it out: attacking
someone for their ethnic and cultural background is both futile (given
that every ethnic group has spent some time on either side of the sword)
and incredibly racist. If that's not your intention, then think about it
before you speak; if that *is* your intention, then why not pull the
white sheets on the whole way?

However, Playstation games can be run right away and automatically, without

PC games, and writers have never seemed to pick up on this. The amount of

If you're totally selfish and short-sighted, that's a good plan, but
it's often better to exercise some temporary self-sacrifice to achive
a better result down the road and not get yourself entrapped in a
solution that will cost yourself and others dearly.
Example: All those dopes (or dupes) that bought Win 3.1 instead of
Mac or NeXT or some other Unix, because they could run their old
DOS crapware on it. They solved their problems temporarily on the
cheap but have cost themselves billions by firmly entangling
themselves into continued use of M$'s unreliable sorta-OSes.

The white man came to this continent, negtiated deals with indians,
totally ignored their own deals, kept taking and taking, the indians
kept losing more and more land. When people see there world destroyed
and cities destroyed, how else are they supposed to react?
The indians wanted peace, the white man wanted their land. The war was
started by the whites for the purpose of killing the indians.
I can beleive this ignorance of history. I have read history books that
say we won Vietnam. Many history books are mostly wrong. Learning
history is not paroting what the books say.

Yes, it was. It was systematic policy to wipe out the Indian.

How can you call a people routinely seeking peace treacherous? I suggest
you find a single instance where a treaty was negotiated by the Indians
and broken by the indians first. The Indians kept their word. The white
man broke treaties when ever it suited them. Eventually the Indians
realized that the white man was out to destroy them, fighting back was
the only thing they could do. What one does to steal is treachery, what
one does to defend is defense. It can easily be said that the whites
consistently racheted up the level of violence.

In all cultures there are renegades, but, by and large the Indians were
honerable. When fighting a foe that didn't even consider you human,
their honor was their downfall.
Believe what you will, but, it is sad that the true legacy of the
original inhabitents of these united states have been so clouded.

/dev/hd(a-z) is not your hard drive directory.
Depending upon what you installed (RedHat), and how it is, or is not set
up, you will have a directory to cd to, after it mounts that
partition/drive.
Examples:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /windows
Where /dev/hda1 is the first partition on the first non-scsi drive, and
/windows is a directory
This can be set in the /etc/fstab file to automatically mount these at
boot-up.
man mount wil help.

No. Most 'hackers' (a hacker being one who figures a way to put 5MB of

Hello,
I'm planning to change a cluster of Pentium 100MHz/32MB RAM machines in
my workplace from Windows95 to Linux, but need a stable GUI Word
Processor for the users who will be migrated. The choices of which I'm
aware at the moment are Applixware 4.4.1, StarOffice 5.0, and
WordPerfect 8. The most important thing to me is stability and
reliability of the word processing component when dealing with documents
of around 100K-200K of text, and very few pictures, if any. A good
import/export of ASCII text would be nice, also. The program needs to
run at a decent speed on the hardware mentioned above, but need not be
phenomenally efficient. Sorry if this is a common question; and if there
is a FAQ our there on this topic, I'd appreciate being directed to it.

Most of the Indian deaths were caused by disease. While that doesn't
their deaths any less tragic, it most certainly wasn't a planned
cold-blooded genocide like the Holocaust.
The only case in which Indians were given contaminated blankets in
order to infect them, that has any evidence to support it, was done by
a British general during the French and Indian Wars not Americans.
Even in thatcase its doubtful that was the cause of their infection as
smallpox was already in the area.
