Firstly to all the kind messages of support thank you very much for your
advice. To the (smug reply's . Go screw your kernel.
The problems I experienced where not with the Linux install itself but with
the lack of consistent documentation regarding utils. Most HowTo's have a
small amount of info and loads of links to other sites which in turn, if
they exist, have little if any info and you guessed it loads more links
(linux shoould be renamed Linx'r'us). Take for example the usually simple
idea of a email server with pop3. With Linux I was sent from site to site
never really finding a single site with all the required information. The
only reply to requests in usnet was (Try imap you idiot) What is? Where is?
Howto? No forget the HowTo. Solution..Found it, installed it, crap. Solution
2. Try/Buy a retail Packaged Server ie Communigate Pro. (Long story but two
more days wasted. The end result..Nice product but incompatible with RedHat
5.1).
The end result.. I must admit I have decided to play with Linux for a while
longer. After all I don't look on it anymore as an operating syspem but a
free text based adventure game (just like the old days), but I scrapped the
redHat 5.1 and am about to install SUSE). But my conclusion is that to
advise companies to use a package which seems to be in permenant early Beta
just because you hate Microsoft would be folly. Microsoft have nothing to
worry about just yet.
Best Regards & Thank you again for you advice.

Subject: IMAP Installation
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 02:19:26 -0800
Hi,
I'm trying to install the Cyrus IMAP server and am uncertain about what
to do after I run
the ./configure script.
my main question is the first few steps - what to do - as I understand
it I need to:
1) unpack the cyrus distribution - does it matter where?
2) run ./configure
3) run 'make depend'
4) run 'make all CFLAGS=-0
5) run 'make install' --- from which directory I'm not sure
6) follow the rest of the directions, which I think I can do
7)make a sendmail cf file - this I think I can do.
8) then configure the client netscape on the computers that will be
accessing
I'm not sure what the imap path will be?
Below is a little more detail on what I've been wondering about, but the
crux of my
problems/questions I've stated above...
I'm trying to do this such that linux is the cyrus-imap server using
sendmail and the clients
are windows 95 and NT machines using netscape or
the document I've been looking at to do this is this:
Installing and Configuring the Cyrus IMAP server - it can be found here:
http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/install.html
I gunzipped and untared the cyrus
software in an arbitrary home directory assuming that the configuration
and make would install everything in it's proper place. I unpacked
stuff in /home/shawn/
then I changed to the unpacked cyrus directory and ran ./configure.
This seemed to work. But then I wasn't sure about using 'make install'
or doing 'make depend' and 'make all CFLAGS=-0'
In the Installing and configuring the Cyrus IMAP Server document it says
"By default 'make install' will install files (other than
server-specific programs) in '/user/local/bin', '/usr/local/man', etc.
You can specify an installation prefix other than '/usr/local/' by
giving 'configure' the option '--prefix=PATH'."
This is what has me a little confused.
What does the make install do when compared with the 'make depend' and
'make all CFLAGS=-0'?
And does it matter where I unpack the cyrus distribution?
-Thanks for your help!
-Shawn

I know. But the question is how can I do proxyarp with plip. With ppp is easy
because 'proxyarp' is just an option of the daemon but with plip there is not
daemon and there is not options (I think). I would like do something like
'proxyarp' but manually. I don't know how but I want to.

Subject: Partitioning and Hard Drive Space for Linux
Monday 15th Feb 1999
I am about to install the newly available English version of S.u.S.E.
Linux 6.0. I hope to start this coming weekend Saturday 20th Feb.
What are Linux users' views/experiences re partitioning for Linux in
general and the hard drive space optimal for a home PC with one user?
I have an aging IBM PC, almost 3 years old, with 3 by-today's-standards
smaller hard drives: HD1=1.6Gb, HD2=2Gb, HD3=3Gb. RAM=40Mb.
Main OS=Win95(OSR1), with VFAT version of FAT16.
I'm putting the Linux Swap on HD1, up to possibly 100Mb just to be on
the safe side. The remaining 1.5Gb will have my Win95 Primary.
Boot Control will be via MBR.
HD2 (2Gb) will be either all Linux Ext2 for / (root.....), or have 2
Linux sections split in a suitable ratio 1:1 or 2:1 or 3:1, or have
Linux Ext2 at the beginning of the drive and a Windows Logical in the
latter part of the drive.
HD3 (3Gb) has 2 Windows Logicals: 2Gb and 1Gb in that order, which I'm
happy with. Win95(OSR1) only supports partitions up to 2Gb.
If anyone can cast some words of wisdom my way I will be only too
grateful.
Kind regards
Allan

I don't know trade secrets law. As far as I know, there is no legal
protection. However, that won't prevent a large consortium that
includes companies the size of Toshiba from comming down on you very
hard.
In any case, the object is to create C code (and maybe some assembly)
from scratch. That gets you around copyright. Now you have to deal
with patent infringement. If you use a hardware decoder, you might
get around that as well.
C-Cube's Ziva chip is such a decoder. It is available in PCI and
PCMCIA forms. I have been unable to get the hardware API for it. An
engineer at Auravision has been helping me. Auravision has published
the specs for their chips. However, the Ziva is the heart of the
system.

No, I'm suggesting future players might. It is no problem to make a

It will play a regular DVD. At least it will if someone is stupid
enough to buy a DIVX player. Burn in hell, Circuit City!

Emulating existing players is within the capabilities of the newer

I think that CSS (Content Scrambling System) is security through

If a DVD is encrypted, then a key has to be available to play it.
Where is that key kept? That is the weakpoint that would be used to
attack the crypto system.
I would like to see a free Linux (and *nix) DVD player. There is no
good reason why such software should only be available to Windows. I
own the hardware, I own legal copies of DVDs. I should bloody well be
allowed to play them under Linux. I am not a software pirate. I
don't steal other peoples copyrighted works. I shouldn't be punished
because other people might. I shouldn't be deprived of knowledge of
my own hardware.
If you purchase a piece of hardware, you should be allowed to program
it. Secret hardware APIs are evil and should be exposed for what they
are.
It is time for people to start voting with their wallet.

Ok, something like that I understood from docs of ttf2pt, but it didn't

What I meant was that would psetups "convert metric files" do the same as
afm.pl, and as psetup copies .pfb and .afm files to SO's own font dirs it
would update psstd.fonts also.
Converting ttf->type1 is still needed obviously.
Well, I got ttf2pt1, compiled it tried. Using ttf2pfa manually made .afm
and .pfa files ok, but then I got carried away and tried the supplied
scripts. I had to fix convert a bit to get .afm also but after that it
looked like I got a bunch of new type1 fonts. They even display right, but
(damn) StarOffice has difficulties in getting 'em printed. This has
bothered me earlier, too. It just keeps falling back to Times.
I don't remember the exact error just now, but I'll check it when I get
home, as well as I'll try converting the fonts one more time (this time
manually and strictly by your directions) and also test if they print ok
with other apps.

I have these two images in mc.ext (system-wide) which seem to
work. It works when hitting enter on the file, not with F3/View.
type/JPEG\ picture
Open=zgv %f
Icon=jpeg.xpm
Include=image-options
type/JPEG\ image
Open=zgv %f
Icon=jpeg.xpm

Just start zgv with no arguments and it comes up in thumbnail
view (little blank squares). Then press ``u'' and it will create
thumbnails of all the images in the directory zgv was started in.
They're put in a hidden dir called .xvpics which is read by zgv
whenever it's started.
