No, but somebody in Australia actually got a refund from laptop seller
Toshiba when the person wanted to return an
unused Win98 (according to terms of the End User License Agreement).

You make a very good point Paul my friend and i who both program in C++ in
school are always bickering at each other when one asks the other for help. He
complains my code is packed to tight and cluttered and i complain that his code
is bloated and undocumented. We do help each other solve actual errors though
even though we rarely use the same formulas to reach the same answer.

The API is incoherant because MS has different groups work on the sam programs
and whoever makes the "best" one gets the raise. To do this they dont document
the API so that they are the only ones who know how it works.

as if C++ were a good tool for every job. C and C++ are not good for
writing large applications. they are simply too low level. C++ is
especially bad since you give up the advantages of C (small size and
control) and reap few benefits (wishlist includes *decent* memory
management, buffer/array overrun protection, a macro facility - C++
templates and cpp #define are woefully weak when compared to lisp's
defmacro).

Latex would produce nice documents even on a 486/35. The result is

Hotmail runs on both: the web servers are FreeBSD, the storage system is
Solaris.
According to a contact I have at Hotmail (who is not a Microsoft
supporter), the story is untrue: Hotmail has never tried to replace
their systems with NT.
OTOH, Microsoft -has- repeatedly asked them to use it in some capacity,
and consistently been told that it would not perform well enough.
There is no real usage of NT within Hotmail (except perhaps on the
desktops of some managers, but that's it).

Subject: Apache WEB server.
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 18:28:03 +0100
Evening everyone.
After struggling alot with Apache I feel close to giving up.
The webserver runs fine - I can access it locally as well as from a
remote location.
When I get to the fun part with cgi-scripts it gets a bit worse.
Basically nomatter what Perl script (ready made from the net) that I try
out - it terminates with an error message :
something something something "reason: premature end of script headers"
[somedate].
Can anyone give me a clue of why ?
Im hinted at by the helpfiles that its the way that Perl handles its
"prints" to the server - and that i manually have to rework the scripts.
And ive tried that - but with the same result.
Best regards

I'm having trouble with my NumLock key in XWindows. I use fvwm2 and
AnotherLevel, but when NumLock is enabled the window titlebar buttons
don't work at all. With other windows managers (WindowMaker, AfterStep)
I don't have this problem, but (call me crazy) I would really rather use
AnotherLevel and fvwm2.
Someone had sent me an .Xmodmap which seemed to fix the problem, but it
remaps the keypad keys---in effect making the keypad always enabled,
even when NumLock is off. Some programs seem to want to use the
``movement'' keys of the keypad, instead of the ``normal'' Home, Inert,
et cetera keys.
AFAIK, I'm using the latest versions of fvwm2 and AnotherLevel.
Thanks for any help with this.

I have been running Linux for over two years, and have never seen it
crash. FreeBSD I have been running for about 2 weeks and it has crashed
about 6 or 7 times, I am sure however that when I get the kernel set up
right it will work flawlessly :)
I like FreeBSD's /stand/sysinstall program, but I also like Debian's
dselect program. I think Linux is better suited for the desktop while
FreeBSD is a server.

It also has fdisk available. This is something hardware related and not
really a consideration when talking about the ease of installation. If you
get off the beating path with Windows the same troubles await you. With
FreeBSD, the same thing.

Uhm, no. Part of the menuing options is a set where you can decide what
to do next. This includes going all the way back to the beginning or, in
your case, 1-2 steps back. As for the enter key getting stuck, again, an
individual hardware issue and this time one that should not be addressed by
the software.

I'd be lucky if I can get it up in 4.5 hours. Why? Because NT insists
on copying all of the files to a FAT partition. All of those files are in a
single directory. We all know how slow FAT gets when you cram a few
thousand files into a single directory. It normally took me 2-3 hours just
to copy the files. Why it didn't just install from the CD is beyond me
completely.

And for me both of my Debian installs, both of which were my first
Debian install and maybe my 5-6th overall Linux install, I had up and
running, not counting FTP time which was a decision I made, less than 45
minutes. If you count FTP time over my 33.6k, 8 hours. NT, with the CD,
and then all the reboots to get it to the current "stable" level was 8+
hours. One install took two days because it would fail on the copying of
the files to the HD just to start the install. The next time I was smart, I
copy the files myself and then moved it to another directory so when it
wanted to it, I'd stop it and then copy the files myself.
>Anyway I'm not a MS-troll. If you are forced into another ordeal with
>NT, let me know if you need help.
You won't be able to. The NT install is flat out broken if anything bad
happens. You had a bad disk and want to recreate them? Oh, it wants to
copy all the files. You have all the disks but want to recopy the files,
oh, you have to make the disks. Want to install from the CD, no can do.

You can set up a symbolic link from 2.8.1 to 2.7.0. Since the libs

I don't know exactly what could be wrong there. I can tell that your isapnp is
working fine (you can reconfigure it yourself just to be sure. Do "pnpdump
>/etc/isapnp.conf" and edit the generated file to suit your tastes). The
problem with sfxload is just that it's not in the PATH; startup scripts usually
have a limited path environment. Just go to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, look for
sfxload, and change the pathname. Finally, I can only help with only one thing
with the module problem: make sure your /etc/conf.modules has the following
lines:
alias sound sb
alias midi awe_wave
You could as well replace the 'midi' line with:
post-install sound insmod awe_wave
pre-remove sound rmmod awe_wave
However, I believe RH's scripts load a 'midi' module, so the first solution
should be safe. Try both anyway, there's nothing to lose.
Oh, now that I remember, pnpdump doesn't detect two ports in the wavetable part
of the soundcard. Your isapnp.conf's WaveTable section should look like the
following; just add I/Os 1 and 2:
(CONFIGURE CTL00c1/408370142 (LD 2
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0a20))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0e20))
# End dependent functions
(NAME "CTL00c1/408370142[2]{WaveTable }")
(ACT Y)
))
Cheers.

Hi
Has anyone ever successfully gotten a WinModem Such as
USR 56K to work under Linux. If so.... How?
Thank you

Subject: Good FTP prog for directory transfers
Can anyone recommend a good (preferably graphical) FTP utility? I'm
trying to manage my web site; I have no problem developing on my
machine, but I am at a loss to transfer a bunch of directories
recursively back up to my web site. Something like Windows WS_FTP would
be perfect.
I got a slew of different apps from www.linuxapps.com, but had trouble
compiling every single one (needed Motif development libraries, linked
to misnamed files, etc.). Does anyone have one they're using that
actually works?
Thanks,
Philip

Subject: Doom Crashes My X
I'm not sure what I changed, but now LxDoom crashes my Xserver.
It was working fine.. ran nicely and very fast in a (-2) window on my
1024x768 desktop. But something changed. I hadn't run it in a day or
two... during which time I installed Aterm. Funny, I first tried to
install a rpm version (i use SuSE, so i figured it might mess up),
afterwhich I would get an error: Shared library error, _dl_profile
undefined.
I fixed it by installing Aterm from the archive file. Doing the make
and make install procedure. Aterm now runs fine, but LxDoom either
quits with a shared memory error, or crashes the server on the ssecond
try.
I usually run fvwm2 with different setups on my my various logins and I
get the same results in either place. I also have KDE set up and I get
a similar error there. It actually says:
---
Hudson:/opt/lxdoom # ./lxdoom -heapsize 8 -file boomlump.wad
./lxdoom: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _dl_profile
Hudson:/opt/lxdoom #
----
Maybe it doesn't have anything at all to do with the install of Aterm,
but I can't find anotehr culprit.
Can anyone help me decpher what is going wrong? I know this isn't just
Doom. Another game (Maelstrom) also kills X dead.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
