Do you have an 'mx#0' in your printcap?
This clause in a printcap definition defines the maximum size in
'BUFSIZ' blocks (whatever they are) that the queue will accept.
This is fine for line printers, but with Postscript (and any
non-text-only device) the size of the print file doesn't tie up
with the number of pages easily (2Mb could be just one page, and
5k could be as much as 2560 pages)
I'm glad my tax return isn't that long...

btw, I've tried several distributions including Slackware 3.6, Red Hat
5.2, and SuSE 5.3, and none of their install programs will run in
4meg. Winblows 3.1 is perfectly happy in 4meg along with MS-Word.
Not fast, but fully functional, as good or better than any
word-processing software I've come across under Linux to date.
Pretty sad if you ask me. We had a multi-threading operating system
running on a PDP-11/45 in 1973 and it only had 256k total store. In
case you guys have forgotten (or perhaps never realized if you're
X-generation people, no blame) 4meg is a shitload of memory. At least
it was back when assembler was king. A few years ago ('93 or so)
when I was at IBM we were running 2000+ users on a virtual system that
had, as I recall, less than 4meg total ram. Of course that system had
its problems too, like springing leaks in the water cooling system
required to dissipate the processor heat :-) It was pretty funky when
we had a cople thousand users sitting on their hands waiting for the
system to come back up after the plumber came and fixed the cooling
system. But pound for pound, I have no clue why a 486-DX2 50
shouldn't kick ass with 4meg of memory; the Tandy Z80 that I had
certainly did and it only had 32k in which I wrote a complete word
processor and had room to spare. I wonder what my PII-333/128M system
would do if it was running a truely efficient opsys... probably wait
on the hard-drives just like it does now.
Looks like I'll scrounge a few simms, and run Win95 in 32 meg for this
system. Then it looks like my next Linux project is to read the
kernel source and find out what's wasting so much store. Or maybe
it's time for me to learn x86 assembler.

if memory serves, it has a mistake in the config script, a missing ! in the
test for the c++ compiler. I don't remember exactly where, but it's not

Subject: Re: [Q] Any experiences with SuSE 6.0 ????
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 22:57:02 -0600
I just completed upgrading my 5.3 to 6.0 this afternoon. I made one
mistake and it cost me my Applix installtion (I inadvertantly installed
the demo version from the SuSE 6.0 CD set and it overwrote my commerical
version. Becareful when you are prompted to determine dependencies
automatically. I said yes and I got, the demo, pine and a bunch of
other programs I had to remove later.
My commercial copy of WP8 still runs fine.
My OSS sound system partially works: the midi works, the CD player works
nicely, but the synthesizer doesn't, so KDE can't play *.wav files yet.
OSS requires libc5, which I installed (to keep my Applix running, alas
:-(, ) but when I run soundconf it reports that I have more than one PnP
device. I do. I have an NCR53c810 scsi card. It suggested that I put
"pnp_preserve=1" in the options.cfg file. I already had it in there.
I started with only 13% of my root space free and when I was done with
the upgrade I had only 2% free (18MB)!!! I copied /opt to /c2/opt and
linked it to /opt.
All in all, things appear to be ok. I haven't tried to compile some of
the software I've been writing, but all things in their proper time.

The X Window System (which must never be called ``X-Windows'') is a
portable, extensible network transparent window system running on a wide
variety of computing platforms. Millions of systems run this highly
customizable system on every conceivable type of hardware, graphics
driver and display device.
Because X offers so much more than the graphic environments of Microsoft
Windows, OS/2 or the Mac, the small price to pay is the complexity of
setup. Fortunately, the Linux community provides reams of documentation
about the initial configuation and the ``care and feeding'' of X
thereafter.
Careful reading of the FAQs, HOWTOs and man pages (as well as the
documentation provided with X itself) will lead to a richly rewarding
*understanding* of the X Window System. Contrast this with Microsoft
Windows, where the user is the hapless ``victim'' of the software rather
than being in complete command of the computing environment.
Any mother will tell you that giving birth to a child is a painful
ordeal. It's similar with the X Window System. The aftermath makes
it all worthwhiler.

I am using Linux Slakware 3.6 on my PC.
I want to setup a DNS server on this machine.
I can set it up easily,when I used linux Slakware 3.3 on the same PC.
The Linux Slakware 3.6 new install and the kernel is complied.
(it can used the sound card in Xwindows environment).
It can ping itself by IP and hostname.
However, it still don't work.
This is the parameter that I want to setup:

When I using command "ping ftp" it response that "unknow host".
When I using "nslookup" it response that:

I'm no expert on this.
Generally, MD5 checksums combined with PGP signatures. Neither is
sufficient. Both together will provide a degree of confidence. See
recent discussions WRT trogans, the Austrian FTP server issues, and
Bruce Peren's "Trojans" LinuxWorld article. Garfinkel & Spafford cover
this topic in "Practical UNIX and Internet Security" (O'Reilly:
http://www.ora.com/).

First off, interoperability.
If you set up an SMTP server on a Linux box
you can do mail with the rest of the world quite easily.
Exchange will be a big problem even doing standard SMTP
on the internet.
Second, clients. You could use Exchange servers and only
use their SMTP/POP|IMAP functionality. But if you are going
to do that to gaurantee all clients can use the mail system
then why bother with Exchange and NT when you could have
a much more stable system with massively more capacity
on the same hardware with Linux or BSD or another UNIX
variant?
There are SMTP/POP|IMAP clients for every platform known
to man. Heck I have a friend with pine on an HP calculator
for gods sake!
In a large company I know they use Linux/Sendmail
MTA's, Netscape Mail Server on NT for user
account mail hosts. Netscape as a standard for clients.
Not a terrible setup, but the biggest headaches they have
are the NT boxes. They crash continuously, can't handle the
load of 1,000 users per Dual Pentium Pro 200MHz 128MB RAM
system. So there are lots of them.
Heck, look at the cost of licensing 1 1000 user NT box for
every 1000 e-mail accounts. Now, look at the cost of the
PC hardware and the cost of Exchange. If you want to use
all of Exchange's fancy bells and whistles you have immediately
limited full inclusion of your e-mail community to people
who can run Outlook on their machine.
Now look at the cost of having a Linux Professional come in
and set up 1 equivalent Linux Box for every 5 NT boxes you
were going to set up. You can pay this Linux/E-mail admin
a consultancy fee for his experience with the money you
saved on the NT licenses, HW expenses and MS software expenses
and still save money.
What have you lost? You have IMAP, you can set up news servers
and discussion groups. You could set up Web servers to handle
collabarative things like calenders and such.
Stick with standards, don't get locked into expensive instable
proprietary systems that will limit the freedom of the students
and the staff of the university.
You may find that management is touchy about using Public
software, and not having a big corporate logo to cover their
ass.
If that is the case then have them look at SUN! You can get
SUN hardware for not too much more than PC hardware these days.
I just ordered an ULTRA 60 Dual 366MHz UltraSparc with a 76GB
Raid array and 512MB of RAM for $17K. Not bad. Plus sun
has Sendmail and pop/news/imap servers. You can get commercially
supported apache for it. This way your corporate-weener types
don't get their panties in a bind over "NO GAURANTEE" contract.
