Speaking of which...
Is there a Windows driver around for Rock Ridge ISO 9660 filesystems? The
reason is... I need a CD-ROM which uses long filenames, but the long
filenames MUST be available under both Linux and Windows. Now... I've yet
to find Rock Ridge support for Windows, and Linux 2.2 has Joliet
support... so am I stuck with using Joliet? }:/

Don't know about the first problem - maybe you need the upgraded XF86??
As for the second problem, assuming that your existing kernel supports
this card (what kernel are you using?), my recommendation is to make
sure that you completely power down the computer before booting into
Linux (especially if you dual-boot from Win). I had this problem, and a
Windows restart into Linux always failed to detect the card. A cold
reboot always does the trick for me.
In the end, please make sure that your versions of the kernel and XF86
actually support your hardware.

Most of the time i connect just one system which functions as proxy and gateway

I've never had it working under Linux, but years ago I had one,

Maybe not, but as far as I am concerned, an OS is the collection of
software
that enables me to run my computer and manage my data. Any utilities that
make this job easier and more efficient can be considered a secondary part
of
the OS.
Until the internet and my computer become one indivisible system (Ohh, my
aching privacy!) a web browser does not aid me in operating my computer.
It
merely gives me access to other peoples' data on other computers. As such
I consider it to be no more than a tertiary part of any OS, if that. Yes,
web
browsers are extremely useful, but they are applications, IMO.
Since Microsoft's lawyers themselves have described IE4 as an "application"
in other courts (even after the beginning of the DOJ suit), I see no reason
to
argue that web browsers are (yet) legitimately part of any OS.

No-one is doing that.
MS is (roughly; as I understand it) being prosecuted for using a
monopoly position (in desktop presence) to bring down a competitor.
Basically, using "bully-boy" tactics to make sure that everyone does what
MS wants (ie. what is good for MS). The US has anti-trust laws to
prevent such things. The DoJ is trying to show that MS has broken them.
The issue of the browser is just an example of the alleged abuse - it is
not the case per se.

It is if the result is that Netscape stops producing a browser and
the only one avaliable is IE, which runs "best" on MS systems using MS
features and proprietary extensions (sorry, "enhancements").

Excuse me for reiterating my point once again: I have no problem with your
opinion being right or wrong (and as far as either of us can know, your
opinion _might_ actually be right, for a given definition of "good").
What I have a problem with is that you have no experience whatsoever to
base that opinion on, yet still ask "what is wrong with me saying I live in
best country in the world".

What did you expect in *.advocacy?
Oh, and most of my comments apply verbatim to stuff like
"Linux is the best PC OS", "NT sucks", "Linux is better than NT"
and "X is bloated".

What good is having opinions if you can't even defend them against a
simple question like "why?"? The word "indoctrination" comes to mind.

Slow? I found Slackware Linux to run things as fast on my 486DX2-66 as
equivalent software running under Win95 on my P133.
One exception: anything that was graphics intensive ran more slowly. Linux
or not, a VLB video card just can't compete with an accelerated PCI 2MB
video card. Running character mode apps, though, I got way better
performance from Linux.

The l option on tar (Gnu tar at least) will prevent it from
crossing file system (partition) boundaries. Note that you
will then have to explicitly name all the partitions that you

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 01:24:50 GMT
I have a question regarding the setup of a web server that will need to provide access
to information stored in a database.
We're running Red Hat Linux 5.2
The application we are developing will need to provide the following:
- There must be some type of database support (SQL if available)
- On a nightly basis, data will be FTPed over from our production system and bulk
loaded into the database.
- This data will then be available to our internal staff via our intranet using a web
browser.
- The server (we're thinking of using Apache at this time) will need to be able to
pull data from this database.
Does anyone have any recommendations on the following?
- What database product should we use? This application will be limited to bulk loads
of already formatted information. I'm
guessing the database would need to be ODBC or JDBC compliant.
- Would we access this information using ODBC or JDBC drivers?
- Will Apache support these drivers?
Some of these questions may be basic. We've been using SCO Xenix and UNIX systems for
> 13 years but are just now trying to tie
data to the web.

Be carefull to choose decent encyption. Most commercial encryption is
too easy to break anyway (at least one such program stored the keys in
the files making it really easy for the bad guys). Discreet is limited
to 40 bits so brute force does it easily. All known word processor
encryption is trivial to crack. (The list continues).
There is a linux patch avialable from outside the US that supports many
tried and tested encryption algoriths, including DES and IDEA, and the
loop device knows how to use it AFAIK. This solution bears a stirking
resemblance to the product referenced.
There are also several encrypted file systems for Linux out
their. tcfs allows you to encrypt only some files and is not too bad
on the security front. I have never felt the need to use nay of these
solutions and am not a professional in the crypto line so throw in a
few tons of salt. (I do use PGP at home).

Subject: Problem with scripts that work on RH 4.2 but not RH 5.2
Date: 3 Feb 1999 14:48:17 GMT
I have just recently installed RH 5.2 on my computer at home and
when I try to run script files that work on my computer at work (RH 4.2)
I get error messages.
For example, the when I run the following script (I have only inclded a
portion of it for brevity) I get an error message that does not like the
then and endif right near the beginning.
#!/bin/csh -f
###
### LRI C Shell initiatization
###
### ALL LRI SOFTWARE PEOPLE SHOULD SOURCE THIS!!!
###
### Created 2 April 1997 by hjt@cs and mwm@cs
###
### If you get sick of seeing warning messages, just do a
### "set lri_quiet" before you source this script and it'll shut up.
if ($?did_lri_cshrc_v1) then
echo Already sourced this LRI init file, skipping
exit 0
endif
set did_lri_cshrc_v1
if (! $?lri_quiet) set be_verbose
### Set the main project directory; most of the time this will be in AFS
### On nav1, the standalone LRI_ROOT is /home/nomad. Fill in defaults for
### other systems as appropriate.
set roots = (/afs/cs/project/lri-7 /home/nomad)
Now it works perfectly fine at work. I am running the tcsh shell in
both places.
I also get problems when trying to run gmake files, which again work on
RH 4.2 but not 5.2. This one is even more strange since when I get to
the line ifndef LRI_ROOT it always seems to be true, even when I put
a line LRI_ROOT:=/home/sjm right before it.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what could be wrong or what I
can do to try and narrow the probelem down please let me know. I feel
that it is probably a setup problem since I have just recently installed
RH 5.2 on my computer (note it was a fresh install and not an upgrade).
Thanks.

Hello Kaustav
Put the following at the top in your lilo.conf file:
append="mem=128M"
Run lilo and reboot your system..
