Can you imagine the massive amount of email RedHat support gets every
day? We're probably talking on the order of thousands of messages a
day. It would take a full team of tech support JUST to reply and say
check the faq. More involved answers would mean even more cost to
RedHat, and ultimately their customers.
I think dejanews should get some kind of royalties for all the help

This is to inform that we have written a book
on Automatic Speech recognition (ASR)
("Speech recognition: Theory and C++ implementation, John Wiley & Sons")
In this book we explain the theory and the implementation of a
multi-speaker continuous speech recognition system.
We also supply in the included CD the full C++ source code (Linux
compilable) of the
experimental HMM based
multi-speaker continuous ASR RES with all the modules
(Initialization, Training, Recognition, Evaluation, Segnmentation)

I can't back this up aat the moment (and it may be wrong, too :),

RH 5.2 to get up and running which will probably take care of
your general computing and network needs and is a good release
for an initial install - less problems and ease of install. Once
you get used to it you can poke around for things more specific
to your needs - the generic RH distribution should take care of

No offense (lotta that going around -- strange for this thread :-) ),
but most(?) newsreaders have an option to download just the headers if
it worries you that much. You can then disconnect and select the
articles you want to read, reconnect, and get them.

Give www.linuxhq.com a try. I am not online while writing this but
earlier this day I found rather good information somewhere in their
pages concerning upgrading to 2.2.2. There is a patch that could be
applied to the executable (be careful and back up the original exe of
course) as well as a link to rpopen.tar.gz, the patch Bob was obviously
referring to.
Hope it helps,

It might be possible to configure cygwin32 (http://www.cygnus.com) or DJGPP
(http://www.delorie.com) to do this. However, doing this requires a fairly
detailed knowledge of the GNU toolchain; if you don't run Linux, it is quite
possible your company doesn't have that knowledge. Consultancy companies
like Cygnus could probably assist here. I do suspect however, that the
easier solution by far is to bite the bullet: install a Linux system and
build the binaries on that.

I sympathize with you. You're trying to use NFS semantics for SMB
(Server Message Block -- Windows filesharing protocol) volumes.
Try something like this instead:
/usr/sbin/smbmount //yourserver/public /mnt/public -I 123.123.123.2 -U
username -P password
If you don't supply a password, then it will ask you for one. If that
share doesn't have a password, then just hit return. You MUST replace
'yourserver' with that machine's SMB name (found in the Networking
control panel) -- you CAN'T just use IP addersses.
If that doesn't work, then check the path for smbmount and make sure
that you have smbfs installed and that your kernel has support for
smbfs compiled in (both are ready to go by default on RedHat boxes).

It must be annoying for Linus to see his expertise or lack thereof
discussed in the third person like this. Still, these issues could
potentially affect a lot of people so it raises the questions:
Linus, do you have any intentions of changing the terms of the Linux
kernel license?
Could you do it even if you wanted to?
What are the terms of use for the Linux brand name?
Is it possible for you to restrict its use in any way?
I assume you have had some legal advice on this -- asked-for and
otherwise. You could probably lay some of these questions to rest, at
least for now. You may have already given the answers in another forum;
if so, perhaps a FAQ is in order to reduce the number of unbelievably
long threads that pop up on this subject.

Linux Users,
I have had problems trying to install nn-tk-16.4 into Linux
Red Hat 5.2. After running " make " there is no nn-tk binary
compiled.
Has anyone had this problem or found the reason.
Thanks, Brian.

I'm having a similar problem. When I first installed Netscape 4.5, it
worked fine. Starting a couple of months ago, it dies whenever I visit
certain sites (not sure if they use java). A couple of examples are
http://www.cnn.com/TECH and http://help.netscape.com. I tried disabling
Java and JavaScript, but it doesn't help.
I've tried reinstalling Netscape from tarballs and from RPMs, and
deleting my configuration files, but it still doesn't work. Someone I
talked to thinks that I may have a bad library, but I'm not sure which
one it would be. I might have upgraded something about the same time
Netscape quit working correctly, but if I did, I don't remember what it
was. I'm sure I could reinstall my system, but I *really* don't want to
do that. I'd rather live with a broken Netscape than try to reconfigure
this system from scratch.
I'm running RH5.1 with the 2.0.35 kernel and XFree86 3.3.3-1. My
processor is a PII, and my video card is a Matrox Millennium II.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this problem.
