Hi all! i'm trying to use rsync in order to update my debian hamm 2.0
to r3 or slink; but i'm lookin around and found no way to do it; i've
dl rsync and found a mirror. Questions:
1) Must i have -everything- installed, or would it be enough using the
CD?
2) Which options must be present when calling rsync?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps this posting is useless and trivial, but I just felt like it. I got
me the latest version of Window Maker (now there's a space in the name, go
figure), and it comes with that wonderful configuration application,
WPrefs.app.
It's a GNUStep application, even though it uses neither Objective C nor the
GNUStep libraries nor Display GhostScript. But it's got the Look&Feel. It's
the first vaguely "NeXTSteP" application I've ever used.
And hell, that toolkit looks good! I'm really looking forward to the first
usable releases of GNUStep. It's a good thing that the NeXT legacy lives on
in it - I suppose MacOS X, while technically being NeXTSteP, has got the
MacOS user interface and not that nifty toolkit anymore.

I think we may both be right. I did some further research and found that
Bell Lab's impetus to continue UNIX development was as an in-house document
management and formatting system. However, the original "glimmer" in
Thompson's eye may well have been for gaming.

While GIMP is free, and it is good, I would not be able to use it for my
"production work" for a couple of reasons. Of of which is that I frequently need to
re-size images to make them fit within a given area, and I find that with GIMP
I get a poor re-sampling of a given image. This may just be that I have not set it
up properly, whatever, I don't know, but I know I get the results I want fast with
PS.
As to the original post, While I agree that what MS did in terms of Unifying the
industry, now they are seriously impeding it. MS has never been an inovator, just a
quick copier of what is popular, and I think this is the stem of their problems.
Who can they copy? They have eliminated most of their competitors, and have nobody
to follow.
In terms of the basic environment to Windows, I don't think that's MS's
acheivement, as MAC OS had that long b4 MS did. (and following that,
Xerox-PARC before Mac)

That is, IIRC, because the interface code is run first in Word97. You get
the interface to pop up, but the program continues to load for a while
yet.
I think that such compiler tricks are possible in Linux, btw, although I'm
not sure how to accomplish them.

Yes, I realize that. What I'm trying to figure out is how that will affect
this power management stuff. Will the every-minute checks prevent the cpu
from going to sleep (in which case why bother configuring for this mode) or
will the cpu go to sleep at some point and thereby miss a cron task?

Try the "locate" command. If it complains about the database, chances are you

well, all the stuff you added here (world writeable, dangling symlinks, and
unstripped bins) can be done with a fairly simply shell script. as for the
libraries - that would be a bit tougher.... but doable, now that i think
about it. a perl script that 1) builds a list of shared libs on the
system, 2) builds a list of all binaries, 3) builds a list of all libs used
by said binaries, and 4) compares the results of 1 and 3.

You might like using buggy software, but I don't. So it's good that you
have the choice to use Windows (for the time being(*)) and I have the
choice to use Linux.
[*] Linux grew by 212% last year, and NT grew by 27% (IDG survey). If
these trends continue in 1999, Linux will overtake NT. Thus, Linux is
already the most-used OS on Internet servers (ftp, http, and nntp
servers), and is set to become the number one OS in the server market
generally. And once it wins the server market, it will be well-placed
to win the office desktop market from MS, as Linux will be seen as
the safe choice. Linux will always be able to undercut Windows on
price, it is technically better, and PHBs are starting to see it
as a credible alternative. So it is quite possible that Windows will
be defunct, or relegated to a minority position in 5 or 10 years time.

What does the vision (or lack thereof) of businessmen in forecasting the
usefulness or competetive edge of new technology have to do with the
point that the technology was *created* here?
Makes it pretty easy to see where the "US has pretty much initiated the

I think he's referring to binary tree... it's a search method where
each item in the tree has *two* pointers to other items making a "tree"

Subject: Error recompiling redhat 5.2 kernel
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 12:39:44 -0800
Hi -
we are trying to recompile the latest Redhat 5.2 Kernel (i.e.2.0.36-3).
We do:
- make mrproper
- make menuconfig
- make dep
- make clean
- make boot
We get the following error:

Any idea as to what is wrong ?

PS we also tried "make zImage" instead of "make boot", same results.

Try using the '-n' switch.
If this solves the problem you have broken reverse-DNS config.
(Number one FAQ in c.o.l.n).
