O.K. Steve, thanks this far. I have updated to 1.0.6 and updated gimp

Two approaches:

gcc -print" (the -print is optional for GNU find).
- use "locate", but in order for locate to work the locate database must

What does the topic ever have to do with the *discussion* and why does
it have to have something to do with it? For people interested in
following it it's no problem and they can tune it out if it goes in a

go back to 266, it isn't a huge difference and you're getting errors, it is
bad if it turns off DMA b/c that slows down your drives *and* increases the
amount of cpu overhead so, in fact, you may be losing performance running at
300MHz w/out DMA as opposed to at 266 *with* DMA... unless of course your hd
doesn't support udma in which case it's no big deal ;p

Dpkg only knows about Debian packages that it installed. It has no way to
detect anything installed outside the package management system. The best
solution to your problem would be for you to create and install a Debian
package of Qt4.1 and install it. The second best solution is to install
packages that depend on Qt with dpkg --force-depends -i <package>.

Has anyone installed Linux onto the above mentioned system (Aptiva

hardware. Will there be any problems? The only area I can see a
problem in is with the (crappy) MWAVE hardware. So has anyone
installed Linux onto this system and got it running? The brand of
Linux I am hoping to get my hands on is RedHat 5.2.
I would like a quick reply (within the next 3 days if possible).

Well, at this point, I think the 3 things mentioned in my original

do the same thing (implement the original Sun NFS automount idea).
I did go ahead and install autofs-something.something.something and,
as you say, the docu is cryptic - it basically says "Set up the
configuration file and it works". After perusing the docu a bit, I
gave it up and de-installed it (*).
I've yet to see any info on how to use/what the functionality is of
the kernel module autofs.o.
(*) My actual application is keeping an NCPFS (Netware) connection live;
all of the autofs's seem mostly oriented towards NFS and it looks like
my app doesn't quite fit into its world view...

Actually, PM4 can create and otherwise manipulate Linux swap partitions,
too, so if you use PM4 for everything, you don't need to change any
partition types in fdisk.

It's funny you should mention that. I've taught a lot of new people how to use
UNIX and Windows and I don't see much difference in the learning curve.
The funny thing is that graphical systems have become even harder to use than
CLI systems in recent years -- there are just so many gestures you have to
learn to get things done, and no way to discover them without a manual, and
nobody ships manuals any more.

It might be an error but it produces no noticable difference in loss of
preformance. It runs well even though the DMA is turned off.
My PII 266 will only go to 275 mhz on a 66 mhz bus. Anything higher
needs 75+ mhz system bus or the bios will just hang and then the cpu
will reset to 150mhz.

Most commercial software for commercial versions of UNIX is more expensive

Try BuyComp (http://www.buycomp.com). They've got it for $60.95. This is
probably the personal edition (or whatever they call it), vs. the
developer's edition that includes some extra doo-dads that most end users
won't need. Also, BuyComp tends to overcharge for shipping, at least for
the first item in an order (it was ~$11 when I bought WordPerfect from
them recently).
I've also seen ApplixWare in computer stores like Micro Center. I don't
recall the price, but I'd be surprised if it were more than $100 there.
Be sure you get the 4.4.1 version; there may be copies of the older 4.3.7
floating around still.

you can also use fips, included w/ most linux distributions, to split the
partition and such.. TurboLinux's manual explains this, basically you run
fips, split the partition where you want to split it, then run fdisk and
delete the second partition it created, and create your primary and swap
partitions, then voila you're there..

Hmm... IWBNI core parts of engine could be shared, along with GC,
etc. E.g. in the same way as processes share the kernel space. It would
be easier with G-machine, but IIRC elisp engine would require moderate
changes. Front-ends could translate into the common code and let the

I don't know about RedHat, but we (PHT) will have an update RPM for TL 3.0.1
within a couple of days at ftp.pht.com
it may work w/ other distributions, can't guarantee, but it'll be supported
for use on TurboLinux

Just a suggestion, because I have the same problem with slackware 3.6.
After compiling the kernel, you have to copy vmlinux to /
and after modifying lilo for the new name, you have to type
"lilo"

To search for what viruses?
A virus checker has to be able to identify a virus. With the extreme
*lack* of viruses for Linux, there's nothing to identify.

I bought an internal ATAPI IDE. It works great, is reasonably fast, and is
reasonably inexpensive. It's also very easy to install. I have a parallel
port Zip here too. But under Linux, you can't share the parallel port for a
printer and a Zip (at least not without unloading/reloading modules) and I
have two printers on my box.
