If your shell is bash you might use "make install 2>&1 | tee install.out".
You'll see output on the screen and create "install.out" at the same time.
This general scheme is useful to record and see what is going on for other
commands too.

Hang on... Exchange does a perfectly good job of "standard SMTP over the
internet" - we have used it as our mail server for several years and never had
any problems communicating with anyone. There is no doubt that Exchange has
some bugs - though not ass severe as many here will claim. It is also
expensive and heavy on hardware if you are only going to use it as a mail
server. The decision depends on the functionality they want out of the
finished system - Exchange will give you groupware in a way which sendmail
cannot - this may or may not be appropriate to your college's requirements...

Subject: Red Hat's sick sense of humor (support)
Date: 17 Feb 1999 15:14:06 GMT
I've been having problems installing Red Hat, so I
sent off the following to Red Hat support:
I don't want a CD or printed manual, but I do
want to support Red Hat and I do want to know
how to install 5.2 with an IBM Home & Away
adapter listed in
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/intel/rh52-hardware-intel-15.html#ss15.11
Is there a way that I can just pay for support
and get the answer immediately?
The response was
There are several support packages available. Please see the complete
listing/descriptions at www.redhat.com/prodcat.phtml/Support+Products.
Take a look at those support packages. They range
from $995 to $60,000. Yeah, that's *exactly* what
I was wanting. Thanks a lot, Red Hat. (I suspect
that even if I paid the $995, they'd refuse to
give me support until snail mail delivers the
registration number.)
So...I tried ordering the Red Hat Linux/Intel
package from Red Hat. I told the person that I
didn't really want the package, I just wanted the
registration number. No dice. I'd have to wait
to receive the box.
A lot of people talk about making money by providing
Linux support. It sure would be nice if someone
would follow through with a reasonable system for an
individual like me. I'd gladly pay >$30 (but <$995)
right now just for someone to help me get through
the RH installation for my notebook computer.

This is what I use in my /etc/modules.conf:
pre-install sd_mod modprobe -k ppa
man depmod might give you more ideas. "alias scsi_hostadapter ppa"
might work, but I'm not sure. If you actually have a scsi adapter,
it's definitely no good.

Nope X runs just dandy. I meant the config files etc.
By far the easiest and most reliable way to set up Linux IMHO
is to edit the text files - XF86config, /etc/fstab, /etc/passwd
etc...
I know Linuxconf does a lot of it for you but when it screws
up (as it often does!) you have to hit the text files...

It seems that a linux system should see the Rockridge extensions. If
not, then either you need to rebuild your kernel with Rockridge
Support added to the Joliet file system configuration.
Or, the cd may be bad. :-(

Did you install these from rpm's or source?
Look at the config.log file (created in the place where you ran ./configure)
and see what the error was. I just got something like this this morning
and the problem was that I had installed
glib-1.1.x.rpm
and I needed the header file glibconfig.h which is part of
glib-devel-1.1.x.rpm
so make sure that you have the devel packages installed for gtk, glib, and
imlib.
Hope this helps,

for pgf77, there is a -pc 64 option, which actually speeds up things a
bit. Also, at least for the calculation I have posted here, it correctly
gets 0.0 with that option vs. the "incorrect" output when using the
default -pc 80.

Could I compile a brief C program which just does that and run that before
any actual application?

I think that you can pass DOSEMU the parameter of a program to run, using
a particular hard disk image. Take a look through the latest DOSEMU docs,
and I think you'll find something.

I've installed xfstt, and point to the True Type fonts on my Windows
partition.
But if I try to use xfontsel, I have a problem: If I click-and-hold the
"family" menu, the list of families appears (as expected) but the list is
quite long and falls off the bottom of the screen at about "Fences". I can't
figure out how to scroll down to see the rest of the list. If I let go of
the mouse button, the menu simply vanishes. If I push the cursor down to the
bottom of the screen (while keeping the mouse button held down), hoping to
jump to the part of the virtual window that's "down there", nothing happens.
Help appreciated!

That sounds a lot like California in the 1970s (I used to live
there). I recently went back for a visit and when we pulled up to
South Coast Plaza, the entire front row of parking spaces were
reserved for electric cars; they each had a plug-in point for
recharging the battery.
As my mom always says: "You can't take cars away from us, we are too
independent." I always used to argue with her, but as I grow older I
can understand her point. OCTA has a great bus system, you can go
anywhere in the county for a dollar, but people keep on spending many
times that to be able to drive themselves.

If you compiled the kernel with vfat support use
`-t vfat' when mounting to have Linux read the long names.
mount /dev/hdxx /mnt -t vfat (I think).
I tried something similar on a floppy where I downloaded stuff from
someone's Win95 machine (I don't run `95 on this machine). When I first
mounted the floppy it displayed the 8.3 names.
Then I remembered the vfat and mounted it again. Nice long filenames then.

Yes, this is nice. In fact it is nice to have all sorts of complex
things work reasonably out of the box; linux does not fo this
everywhere yet. However we should *not* ditch the current XFree86
configuration file and its well documented way fo writing your own
modelines.
Try getting windows to operate that Sony GDM-1601 fixed frequency 16"
monitor (maximum 1280x1024 @60Hz, mine is used to doing 1152x900 @60Hz
attatched to a solbourne box). This is easier using XFree86 by a few
miles.

Just thought I'd pass on my little "oops"-moment of the week, to

Last night I tried to upgrade my KDE from 1.0 to 1.1... and it
really didn't cross my mind that it *might* not be a bad idea to do this
while within KDE at the time (my box boots into runnlevel 5). I kinda
freaked out when kdm stopped authenticating users, the screen just
flickered and then returned to the login screen. Finally, just for the
hell of it, I dropped down to runnlevel 3 and tried starting up KDE with
good ol' "startx"... it updated some stuff (flew by pretty quick, didn't
see what all it was doing)... and then the system was fine from there.
Guess it might be a good idea to do KDE upgrades while KDE is *not*
running.... <smile>
