I've got a couple of scripts for creating tables, sequences, indexes etc.
The scripts were created using notepad/wordpad
and stored as plain text.
I would like to know if it is possible to recreate these scripts
using vi, without having to type everything again.
Thanks

It seem you could put them on a floppy and use the vfat parameter (edit
fstab, etc) to mount a dos disk
and copy them to your /home dir. Worked for me going the other way.

hmm..no, I don't see any options for HD power-down in the
kernel settings...using the apm program (apmd package)
one can set the machine manually into suspend mode (apm -S),
however, on mine, this doesn't affect the monitor/display
under X....also, apm doesn't seem to have a timer. Maybe
the new Xfree is better?

Thank you for your answer Wallace. Could you help me with another question
about tcl/td ?
I know I'm newbie so perhaps my questions are a little evident. What must I
do for use tk? I think that it's done calling to tkcvs but when I do it I have
a message which tells me that there is a variable who are not defined but I
don't know what must contain that variable (rootcvs or cvsroot) . Could you
help me please?.
Do you know where can I have documentation about it?
Thank you very much.

On four megabytes... That is stressing it to the edge, if you want to
run both X-windows and a WYSIWYG word processor. It is Linux, but that
doesn't mean that it will work ANY kind of miracle for you. At least(!)
four more megabytes is highly recommended. As a rule eight megs is
needed just to run X-windows.

If he is not a computer literate, and don't plan to be, Emacs is not his
cup of tea. It does not format the text (change font size and such).
Despite it's reputation it is still only a text editor, not a word
processor.

There is stuff like Star Office and Word Perfect around, but I suspect
they will not run very smoothly on the configuration you are proposing.
Then there is LyX (http://www.lyx.org), which supposedly isn't a very
big memory hog. It is a bit unconventional though, and not particularly
fast, so I can't guarantee that your son will like it.
I don't know about the printer driver. I guess most old printers will
work with Linux. If you are lucky a standard driver will do
sufficiently, even if you can't find a dedicated Decwriter-65 driver.

I'd say it's the other way around. We give considerable attention to
quality (cf the Debian bug tracking system: www,debian.org). However, we
are interested in real quality, not ISO9000 paper shuffling.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yes...RedHat was easier to install, but in my dealings (still not
totally successful) with SlackWare, I've learned a good deal more about
linux. Anyway...here's the hitch now. Got the boot floppy working
(either use bare.i or aztech.i). Can't get the latest color.gz to write
to floppy correctly...even when I reboot win9x (piece of...nevermind
don't have time for that ;-) into MS-DOS mode it doesn't do it
correctly. Am going to give it a try tomorrow even if I have to hunt
down a UNIX box to do so! Got a friend with a Sun station might be able
to do it!
Anyway...I can use the color or text rootdisk from the 'obsolete'
directory...and it starts out working fine. The 'old' color one even
says it is the 3.5.0 installer!
BTW...I even went into the BIOS and did a low-level format...then set up
a 1G partition (for /) and another 800M or so for /home. and of course
my swap file (32M)...and yes I formatted it as linux swap...not native.
Now, when some packages/disksets are installing I get...
"cat: error: no left space on device", but the install goes on. The
punchline...LILO doesn't get set up/or doesn't get set up correctly.
Any indications as to why I'm running out of space (even on a basic....A
set only) install onto a 1G partition?
Thanks again (in advance)
And thanks to those who posted previously,

Subject: sound applications can't open /dev/dsp initially when using KDE
When I enable system sounds in KDE 1.0 I often get error messages when I
start applications that want to access the sound hardware:
can't open /dev/dsp
For example, if I use gqmpeg and I configure it to begin playing when it
is run I get the above error. Gqmpeg still starts, without playing, and
I can press the play button to begin playback, but it will not start
right away. I have noticed the same thing with mtv. Mtv will start,
complain, and initially mute the sound. You can immediately take the
muting off though, and everything is normal.
Is there a way to prepare /dev/dsp for a new application? That is, can
you somehow quickly initialize it, ripping it away from KDE's grasp? (I
am pretty sure that KDE is the offender because I don't notice the
problem if I turn the system sounds off. I would like to use the system
sounds though.)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Lamport book is essential for understanding some of the *potential* of
Latex. Don't bother with LyX, you will learn far more tricks doing it
yourself and asking people in other depts for examples of their tex files
with fancy tables, diagrams, etc. Plus, xemacs has quite wonderful support
for tex *including* opening existing latex files (unlike LyX), such as
reftex which lets you jump about a massive, multifile document with complete
ease and check / interact all your bibtex and refs. And boy, is xemacs

Hi.
I have an Aix box connected to a linux (kernel 2.1.131) box that has an
HP deskjet attatched to it. I have configured a remote print queue on
the aix box that points to the printer on the linux box. The problem is
that when I try to send a print job to that printer, the linux box sends
back the following message:
altair: /usr/sbin/lpd: hpdj500: Your host does not have line printer
access.
I don't quite understand why the aix box is being turned down. I have
"ALL" in my hosts.lpd file ( as well as the host name of the aix box ).
All other services work fine (telnet, ftp, sendmail etc...).
Perhaps somebody can tell me what I should be looking for ?

It works very poorly in my experience. Last semester I had a class
that used the one of the zed packages (Which essentially add a new
latex environment whose contents are rendered in math mode.)
(I also don't like the xforms widget library - not only does it look
bad, but also the menu handling is very non-intuitive.)
I typically use XEmacs (auctex) + X-Symbol mode (which gives somewhat
WYSIWYG equations) for TeX documents.

Why don't you want to run your text based programs from an x-term (in
X)? I haven't seen any tty programs, that wouldn't run in an x-term.
You cant have text mode and graphics at the same time. It is an either
or situation.
Check out http://linux.open.ac.uk/issue21/svgatext.html. It will allow
you to alter the refresh rate and resolution of your text mode console.
If you can tune the resolution to match the one you use in X, you could
eliminate the need to wait for the monitor to change settings. Mind you,
nobody is giving you any guarantee for this to work.
Good luck

Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 20:53:29 GMT
Hi falks,
I telneted to my Linux box from MS Windows NT workstation (using the
Telnet.exe program that came with NT). From within this Linux shell account,
I launched ircII-4.4 and connected to an IRC server. Then I realized that
those mIrc users were putting out a lot of ANSI colored characters, which
looked something like "C5|C14-C0,1 I..." and was very hard to read.
I thought I might be able to see those characters in color once I set my
Linux shell account terminal type up right. Am I right? Even if I was, I
don't know how to do so. Please tell me how. If it's not as easy as
changing some terminal configuration on my shell account, what does it take?
Do I need to get a telnet client that can display color? Well, I aready got
one but this one didn't display ANSI characters correctly, either. Please
tel me what I have to do.
Thank you very much in advance and have a nice day.

The same way it worked on the machine on which Unix was developed.
Without memory protection.

Subject: Linux and FAT file time?
Date: 10 Feb 1999 21:58:25 GMT
Hi.
When I create a file on a FAT partition from Linux, the file time on FAT
(as seen by Windows) is +5 hours ahead of real local time. Linux sees
local time on the file.
Now, I'm in the EST zone (which I think is GMT -5 hours). Is this normal
for Linux to do this? Is there a way to make it _not_ do this?
Thanks.
Mark

Date: Fri, 12 Feb 1999 04:57:54 GMT
After a couple disasters with exchange and NT our company will not
recommend Exchange any more to our customers (not able to restore a
single users exchange data from tape without setting up a test
server). It is a hard thing to do explaining why it takes 6 hours to
accomplish something that should be a couple key strokes to the
customer.
Exchange is flat out broken, exchange is not the standard way email is
handled on the internet. To be more compatible with the rest of the
world I would think a college or university would use standards for
email not do it the microsoft way.
