Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 12:20:34 +0000
I've installed Netscape Communicator 4.5, and in the Communicator menu, the
Conference position is dimmed.
How can I run Netscape Conference under Linux, is there one, has someone run
it?
If not, who can reccomend me a good conference program for Linux, is there a
VocalTec version for Linux?

I have seen this claim multiple times now, each time with a slightly
squiggly feeling. After thinking about it, I now know why: Copyright,
despite its name, does _not_ cover copying only. It also gives other
rights to the holder, e.g. the right to "maintainance of artistical
integrity" (I hope this is close to the actual English term...).
The architecture of the Olympic village in Munich (where I happen to
live) is, for example, copyrighted by the archiect, and he has to
agree to any visible changes to the complex (e.g. the roofing of the
stadium). Similarly, you cannot buy a copyrighted painting and use
your spraycan on it. By the same arguing, the writing into margins of
books (another example given in this thread) is questionable, but
would probably be allowed because of the different nature of
literature - changing one copy does not endanger the artistical
integrity of the whole work. Selling paste-on kits, might, though.

This is why I hate package managers, and won't use them. You would save
yourself a lot of trouble if you just tossed debian and got slackware
instead.

I don't believe you can do this, even with GNU sed. The only usage of
`\n' (aka ^M) in a substitution is in the regexp to be matched. IOW,
you can match a newline and replace it with something else, but you
can't insert one in the way you are attempting.
AFAIK, you can't import a partial line into the pattern space. There
might be a way to put a part of the line (the matched part) into the
hold space; and then there is a command for putting a newline into the
hold space. I suppose in theory you could delete the contents of the
hold space & then add the newline and print it. Incredibly
complicated, it seems to me.
You'd probably be better off using awk. But if you want to pursue
sed, I'd suggest posting to comp.unix.shell, where Al Aab (moderator
of the sed mailing list) and Ken Pizzini (maintainer of GNU sed) hang
out.

I've *never* had to use a -force-* option in Debian. You shouldn't,
either. In my experience, the Debian package manager has just worked
well and in general done the right thing.
The simple fact is that Slackware is a lot of trouble to keep up to
date. Debian is almost no effort to keep up to date (apt-get update;
apt-get upgrade is your friend).

Hmmmm. I was starting to think in that direction... but up to now the

No, but I pretty much reverse-engineered psychology, and learned acting in

There is a Zip drive mini HOWTO. If you're using Redhat, it's probably
/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/ZIP-Drive.

The specific problem is that KDE is distributed under the terms of the
GPL, which requires that you include *complete* source code when you
distribute something. KDE won't build without Qt. Qt can't be freely
distributed. This is a problem.
There's a worse problem that I can't recall right off hand (even with
a quick persual of the GPL) which basically means that KDE can't be
distributed by anybody but the KDE people at all without violating the
GPL. See the Debian mailing list archives at http://www.debian.org/
for more information.

Install using dselect or APT is the easy way. The hard way, if you've
got g++_....deb and libstdc++-dev_....deb, is to do
dpkg -i g++_....deb libstdc++-dev_....deb
Or, if you've downloaded a bunch of stuff into a sandbox directory,
dpkg -i *.deb

Hi there...
I'm currently working on a very simplified NFS server in Java, which
will not really be an common NFS server, but which will use the NFS
protocol to share a web tree (I know, it's not really clear ;-)
I would really need some help and some explanations on the way the linux
NFS server is handling the file handles and the cookies on directory
listings. So could you point me to a maybe more specific mailing list,
or directly to somebody who may help me (already tried Olaf, but still
no answer.......)
Many thanks in advance, and best regards... - Patrick -

Yeah! This is happening to me also. The explorer information disappeared
about a three weeks ago. I emailed the site admin and got no response.
Considering how expensive it is to have net info there, I don't blame

I recommend /etc/rc.d/rc.local for starting home-brewed processes.
For automatically loging in someone, you can accomplish one per boot
by running rungetty from inittab. Rungetty is a package. You should
be able to find it via all the usual web-surfing routes.

Hi Dave!
Maybe the cgi-bin directory for itself has bad permissions to access it via
the web server. Take care to make it "executable" (which means in case of
directories to enable it for search access).

Hi Guys,
I think I should have used fdisk /dev/hdc instead of fdisk /dev/hdc1 (or
the otherway around).
I haven't had to install the OS yet because I have to finish downloading the
rest of the disks first, but fdisk could see my drive now.
Thanks for your hints.
