First, I am a Wine developer, but I'm not into those kinds of things,
so I can't tell you exactly.
But Wine is already able to play e.g. AVIs (partially) and already has
a fairly good sound support.
So yes, it might be possible.
Just try it :)

You must use .gz since although -z means "create a compressed archive"

If anyone else is struggling to get KDE 1.1 to work on Debian 2.1
(slink):
1. Get libqt 1.42 from the _unstable_ tree at ftp.debian.org
2. Get the very latest version of KDE. At the time of writing, this in
still in the /Incoming directory at ftp.kde.org. The 19990207 version
is broken on Debian. You need 19990306 or later.

If I understand you right, what you want is to be able to run X

Perhaps the pop server is doing a gethostbyaddr() on the client
address. If you have the source code for your server software, it
should be possible to track this down perhaps changing it to a call
to inet_ntoa().

This is reporting that the Makefile isn't available for the
actions to be read from. Are you in the /usr/src/linux directory
when you try to do 'make config'?
Incidentally, as a newbie, I'd recommend you use 'make
menuconfig' instead, as it is a lot easier to find your way
around than the standard config script.

Erm.. from memory, the usual command is "tar cf filename.tar files"
then "gzip filename.tar" to get the tar.gz compressed archive.
If i remember correctly, you can use the z flag in the tar command, and
it compresses in one go. (ie no need to gzip afterwards)
So eg,
tar zcf myarchive.tar.gz *
archives everything the the directory
Hope that helps.

So I've often heard, but my experience differs. I work at a mostly
Macintosh site. For those who aren't familiar with them, there is one
menu bar permanently at the top of the screen. The menus are swapped
into it according to who has the focus. Despite using screen savers many
of our Macs many have a ghost of the menu bar visible during the boot
process, before the real one is drawn. Burn-in still happens.

Subject: Screen blanking stops modem! (HELP)
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 22:06:52 +0000
I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me an idea as to why
this happening.
I just installed Red Hat 5.2 and have very little 'extras' set up --
screen savers included. My screen still blanks out after (about, or
quicker then) 10 minutes of inactivity, and when this happens my modem
seems to enjoy just stopping.
The connection is not lost (unless dropped by my ISP) and the
download normally resumes as soon as I un-blank the screen. I have
found that this is mainly a problem in Netscape Navigator, as I can
sometimes get my ftp program to continue -- but it too has stopped
responding when the screen goes out.
I have a 56K PCMCIA modem in a desktop reader. I get a great
connection and very good speeds through the modem, it is just this darn
blanking problem that irks me.
If anyone has any insight on this I would be very interested in
hearing them! Or, if someone can tell me how to turn off that blanking
program I might be able to forget about it. :)
Many thanks!
