So just put into /etc/bashrc.
One file, and you don't need to open it up.
echo "alias dir='ls -la'" >> /etc/bashrc
...as root of course.
Note that this will also give you the look of dir (as much as possible
given that it shows *more* than dir under dos).

Hi all,
Would anyone happen to know of any tools in Linux for creating and
editing video files in any of the popular formats? I've been looking for
tools to create either AVI or quicktime format movies, but with no
luck. One tool that I've been using on a Windows NT box is
Apple's MoviePlayer program for the quicktime format -- but I would
like to stick with Linux. Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

October 1998 PC Plus?
Both versions can be installed relatively easily. I would buy either the
new SuSE version or the RedHat 5.2. (They both contain the same operating
system internals, but are set up slightly differently when you get down
to the details).
SuSE comes with a whole load of stuff that you may or may not need/want.
I don't know what the new RedHat distribution comes with.
Both have fairly easy to use set up programs and a manual which you should
read first.
Both are about the same price in UK.
As far as a novice is concerned, I would set up the machine with a new
hard disk (unless you really want to get into repartitioning and have lots
of free space.) of at least 2Gb (OK, it doesn't take anywhere near that to
install the OS but you never know what else you might want.)
Try to select KDE and KDM as your desktop and session manager. There are
lots of options that should be explained in the manual.
If you have experience of using a command line (ie other than just point and
click windows/mac) then you shouldn't find it too hard to make your way
around the system. It is a different 'language' to get things to go from
the command line, but it isn't hard to learn and is very powerful.

For a complete novice, find a friendly Unix/Linux knowledgable person (Guru)

Apart from that, read the manual.

Good luck. It is quite a steep learning curve.
You may find it helps to keep notes of everything you do as it is very hard
to rememeber lots of new things at once.

Assuming you're using an sh compatible shell like bash you could sprinkle
echo $PATH
statements in your startup scripts and use an editor or script to comment
them out later or set some environment variable the startup script can test
before doing the echo.. DEBUG for example.

Subject: How do you get diald to stay up even when there's no traffic
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 22:34:25 +1100
Oh yes indeedy. I've managed to get diald working on my Debian box so
that it connects up
to my OzEmail account when it detects any IP traffic which needs to go
out to the Internet. And I'm pretty pleased about that I can tell you
because it was a bit of a struggle for the loikes of me :)
However, I do have a couple of small remaining problemettes which I'm
hoping someone has already sorted out.
1) How do you make the link stay up for a decent amount of time (say 15
mins) even though there's no traffic. I've had to resort to writing a
shell script which pings every 30 secs. Now there must be something more
elegant than that! I tried "impulse 900,45" but it had no effect. I keep
getting disconnected after approx 30 secs idle time.
2) Is it possible to continue to use manual ppp connections. Whenever
I try to do this now, the logs give the impression that I've connected
OK, and local and remote IPs are allocated, but I can't ping anything.
It's as if the connection didn't succeed at all.
TIA,

Subject: filesystem cacheing
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 17:48:12 -0600
Does anyone know if it is possible to temporarily disable
filesystem cacheing? I am writing a disk utility that
attmpts to isolate intermittently bad sectors on an ide
hard drive and if the first read is successful, all subsequent
reads will also be successful when cacheing is used.
Alternatively, is there a way in a user-space program running
as root to read a sector directly from a hard drive without
invalidating anything the kernel knows about the drive?

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I mean how do I remove the vfat loadable module
from the bootup process, it's the line that says
Loading vfat lp lp0 ...
and so on.
I already removed the /etc/fstab lines that mounted my win95
partitions. I had set that up to be noauto anyway so that wasn't the
problem.
I assume the vfat module is 'vfat.o'? Maybe I should do a grep on my
/etc dir for that string...
I chose support for vfat during the installation of Debian 2.0. Maybe
it recompiled the kernel during the installation? (does that happen?)
Oh well, thanks for the advice none the less.

You might look for "FileRunner". It's a Tk/Tcl based program that reminds me
of ws_ftp; you get a panel showing the source directory and a panel showing the
receiving directory. I supports "resume" in case you lose a connection during
the download.

So how far have you got? I'm a bit of the same mind as you but I've got
through a few samba networks.
Forgive me if my references to howtos aren't quite correct as I'm drudging
from memory here:
1) Get NIC going - checkout ethernet how to and NET3
2) Make sure IP's going, can you ping your self?
3) Make sure hosts and networks file ok.
4) Setup routing table - Of all the crap I've read on routing the linux
howto is by far the one that made the most sense. It even enabled me to get
the novel routing going which the novel manuals couldn't help me get!
5) Make sure other machine(s) is connected etc and runing TCP/IP and you can
ping each other
6) Get samba package. I've only played with 1.18something. I believe 2 is
out now.
7) Compile and install. With NT there are issues relating to encrypted
passwords. Make sure you read the various files that are included with samba
8) Edit /etc/smb.conf and do lots of reading. This file sets up your shares
among many other things
9) run smbd -D and nmbd -D
10) See if NT can see shared resources
I hope I haven't forgotton any stages. You may have to play with the
smbpasswd file/command.
11) Buy a Mac and install Netatalk, just for kicks ;^)
Hope this helps

Illegality is irrelavent to the notion of 'nasty' -the law primarily exists

Yep. The devices related to audio don't have the right permissions. I'm
afraid I can't remember precisely which ones, and I don't have my Linux
box to hand to check, but the names are fairly obvious if you look. If you
give general read/write permission to those devices, it should then work.

i also highly reccomend checking out gftp. very nice program, got the 2
window stuff, and resume. my fav bit though - it can spawn a per-downlaod
thread, allowing you to start dl'ing a file, and then go off and start
another file, even from another site.

To allow CGI scripts to be placed anywhere, not just in ScriptAlias
directories, you can put "ExecCGI" in your "Options".
Once you've done this then a user can make all files in a directory
behave as CGI scripts by putting the following in the in the .htaccess
file for the directory:
SetHandler cgi-script
Additionally you can put "AddHandler cgi-script cgi" in the srm.conf
so that any file with a .cgi suffix is treated as a CGI script and
there is then no need to sepatare the scripts into separate
directories.

Subject: An idea for an OpenSource project
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 12:49:42 GMT
Hi all, I'm thinking about putting together and OpenSource version of a
product I've written. It is a database program that helps people store
research data. I would like to rewrite the software as an OpenSource project
that would be portable to multiple operating systems, most notably Linux and
Windows '9x. The present software runs under Windows. I have thrown
together a few ideas and am interested in any comments programmers/hackers as
to what you think about the feasability of this project. I would be
distributed under GNU license so that everyone could use it without charge.
The URL for the existing software is: http://www.curiousoft.com
My notes for the OpenSource project are at:

Please direct comments on this to either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or reply to this
posting.

I've also heard of the olympic record holder Paavo Nurmi (something
like 6 golds in 1 olympics) and the world famous architect Aalvar
Alto(sp?). Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish band. Miss World 1948? was Finnish
and it is the only country to successfully invade Russia and win.
Mikka Hakkinen (F1 Grand Prix) world champion, Tommi Makkinen, world
rally car champion (goodness knows which year) and just like the
Greeks and Romans are one of the few nations to have produced epic
poetry (Kalevala)(sp? again).
good to educate our Merkin cousins... ;)
