Have you tried generic postscript? I've used it with LJ5L and at least I
don't see any problems, but maybe I'm not printing all the way to edges.

A while ago I checked out a real nifty Intranet package(Forgot the name now)
that runs through apache and includes all those nice things such as calendars,
contacts and even email right through a web browser. Although some of the
applications was still a bit shaky then, the email package worked great, and is
compatible with your pine mail folders.
You can get them somewhere from ftp://ftp.obsidian.co.za/, or thats where
I got it last time :). There was also some mention of it on
www.freshmeat.org.

Izak
Note: Mail from yahoo.com and hotmail.com domains will go to a special folder
and my not get read until much later. I'm sorry for this inconvenience but I
get to much spam from people in these domains.

Change your /etc/fstab file.
Add `user' to the options for /dev/cdrom and for /dev/fd0. Then users
should be able to mount either one.

Of course but then as not all of any Linux distribution comes GPL'd (some
of it is even covered by the BSD license! ;-) ) this is only applicable
where an author wishes to assert his right to ensure that derived works
are offered to others with the benefits afforded by the original work.
Neither license is the *right* one. They are simply suitable for different
requirements.

The documentation for cdrecord I read stated that you should not specify
-multi for the final image you write to the CD. Perhaps this is the reason
yo cannot see the final image?
I never managed to get multisession working with cdrecord ut then again I
have not tried for over a year.

You know that your hardware is not supported and yet you try to install a

Linux does not transmit any passwords. Individual applications do and some
of these want to do so in clear text. There is an easy and recommended
solution to this - use ssh to tunnel the applications connection securely.
As regards connecting to WinNT I presume you mean mounting a WinNT share
in which case Linux (or more correctly Samba) fully supported encrypted
passwords.
If, on the other hand, you are refering to specific database connectivity
it comes down to the specific server/client combinationa and the level of
security implemented therein.

I don't really rate that as a very good arguement against GPL! To say that
GPL is bad for a commercial project because it forces some quality control
which would not otherwise be there is a plus for GPL per se.
However the quality of any derived work will be more to do with the skills
(or lack thereof) of those producing the work so whether the cde it is
derived from is BSD or GPL makes little real difference in this respect.
They are both very good licenses - they are just suitable for different
requirements.
Now, this thread is starting to verge into flame territory without really
covering any new ground. Any chance we can all just let this go? It is not
really so important that it needs to be rehashed every couple of weeks, is
it?

AFAIR the legality of (at least some) shrink-wrapped licences is open
to question in the UK anyway. From memory, this is based on a case
against NCP, whose rules were only visible *after* you entered the car
park.
I certainly have one CD (not sure of the supplier...) at home on
which the "read licence before opening" text is *underneath* the read
seal! (Ie. you have to break the seal to read the notice that tells
you not to break the seal yet).

Subject: miscellanous problem with my hd w/linux
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 08:39:49 GMT
I have three partitions set up on my 486/100 MHZ, using the Seagate ST-31276
hard drive. First partition is bootable, setup for windows 95, and the other
two primary partitions are the linux native, and swap, respectively. In
addition, using kernel 2.0.36pre7, (redhat 5.2). Also have lilo setup and the
partition is 620/64/63 (chs) When I start the computer, everything turns out
fine. But, after downloading a few files, which wrote to the disk, I obtained
stuff such as:
hda: write_intr status=0x50 { Drive Ready SeekComplete } ide0: reset: success
/* it does this multiple times, then I get... */ end_request: I/O error, dev
03:02, sector 669503 (and the sector number changes of course)...
Any ideas on how to fix or help?
If so, reply and my thanks to you.

I think we all have opinions about subjects read in the newspapers.
None of those opinions have force of law. Without being on a jury and
hearing the evidence presented in a courtroom, there's no way to
accurately judge what he did or didn't do. His involvement with the
Paula Jones lawsuit was as a citizen, not as President. All his
conduct in that case, right or wrong, was as a citizen, not as
President. There is no resemblance whatever to the Watergate case, in
which the President and his employees used their government positions
to cover up the illegal activities of some 2-bit morons who happened
to work for them.
I've been listening to this crap for six years and I'm sick of it.
Republicans have never been able to come to grips with the fact that
they are the Party of the Corrupt and for 25 years have been trying to
shovel the dirt of Watergate off on somebody else. They never grokked
the simple truth "you can't make yourself look good by making somebody
else look bad." $50 million down the drain. My prediction of the
outcome of this psychodrama is that the Democrats will regain control
of at least one house of Congress in the 2000 elections. People will
not forget the expensive hypocrisy of the plutocrats in charge of the
Republican Party. The Republicans aren't just "out of touch with the
people" -- they've moved and left no forwarding address.
If a jury hears testimony & convicts Clinton of a crime, fine. Let
him pay his dues. Until then, everything everyone says against him or
for him is just speculation. Fun and games, but otherwise worthless.

You can set your modem to whatever IRQ you wish using isapnp -- that's
the point of the exercise. Do a `cat /proc/interrupts' to see if
there is anything else using IRQ 11. Probably not, but just to be
safe.
Just point minicom at /dev/ttyS<n>, nevermind about /dev/modem, it's
just a symlink anyway. Make doubly sure that the output of setserial
for that port matches the expected setup of your modem via isapnp.
In minicom, after setting it to point to the correct port, you should
be able to do the `at' and get a response. You may also need to
change the modem init line -- I just use `atz.'

There is a package called libdbf which can manipulate dbf files. PHP3

Interesting, downloading the 128 bit version is a pain since it's only available
thru the web. They finally came up with a glib2 version of the 128 bits version.
Is there a version of this Fortify for winblows? My nephew who happen to live in

The libc5 was a problem for me, the glib2 works great. My plugins compiled for
glib2 would crash netscape. Somehow I've never been able to get a good setup
with the libc5 version of Netscape 4.5. When I would go in the setup for the
language it would flush netscape. The first time I installed it I couldn't
even change the setup. I had to install another Netscape and use the setup file.
I found out something weird with the version 4.08 libc5 which I used before. The
time was weird, looked like GMT. After I installed the glibc2 Netscape 4.5 the
time was displayed correctly. It even shows the date in French. It'd be nice if
there was a French version of Netscape for Linux but we don't have that luxury.
I have to boot on winblows NT to get that.

You don't even need a device driver. Just do an ioperm() and then
use inb() and outb() on the appropriate addresses in a normal
(superuser) program.
Heck, I'm using the printer port this way for a selfbuilt IEEE488
interface...
You have to know the hardware (I/O addresses and how to use them)
and cannot use interrupts from the user program.
