it seems to me that an archive of "fancy" console fonts was hanging
around near utilities/console on sunsite, but i had a look and found
nothing!
if someone understands what i'm talking about, and knows where the fancy

no, posting to multiple groups in one shot is fine. not everyone
reads all groups and the person with the answer could be anywhere.
with a cross post, once you mark it read in one place, it's gone from
the others. i see no problem with that. set follow-up to a single
place where you read regularly and you are done.

or, it could be just a tricky question where you do not know what
group in which it most properly would be at home.

The problem is that in line 34 of main.h we have
extern struct fd_set readfds, writefds, xfds;
This conflicts with the non-extern definition at line 501 in main.c:
fd_set writefds, readfds, xfds;
I burrowed down into the include files, and fd_set is only defined in
<gnu/types.h>.
So this is what I did: from an initial configuration, type make, and
it'll stop at the error message you got. Then alter main.h:43 to read
(note the new variable names)
extern struct fd_set nreadfds, nwritefds, nxfds;
And run make again, and it compiles from where it left off until:
gcc -o slirp auth.o bsd-comp.o ccp.o chap.o fsm.o ipcp.o lcp.o magic.o md5.o
pppdfncs.o upap.o ppp.o cksum.o debug.o if.o ip_icmp.o ip_input.o ip_output.o main.o
mbuf.o misc.o options.o sbuf.o sl.o slcompress.o socket.o tcp_input.o tcp_output.o
tcp_subr.o tcp_timer.o terminal.o ttys.o udp.o
socket.o: In function `sofcantrcvmore':
/usr/local/src/slirp-1.0c/src/./socket.c:625: undefined reference to `nwritefds'
socket.o: In function `sofcantsendmore':
/usr/local/src/slirp-1.0c/src/./socket.c:640: undefined reference to `nreadfds'
/usr/local/src/slirp-1.0c/src/./socket.c:641: undefined reference to `nxfds'
make: *** [slirp] Error 1
I then changed main.h:43 back to it's original definition:
extern struct fd_set readfds, writefds, xfds;
Typed make, and it finished compiling slirp ok. The resulting executable
ran, but I dont guarantee it'll work when dialling in. Phew. No doubt
all it needs is some variable renaming, but trying renaming in main.h to
agree with socket.c didn't seem to work, so it's obvoiusly a bit more
subtle than that.

I don't use GUIs in any flavor of UNIX--I'm just too
old-fashioned to tear
myself away from TeX, I guess--but I've replaced MSOffice on my
Wintel machines
with StarOffice, and it's done fine so far. It's big and
bloated, like any
such GUI program has to be, but there are things I like. For one
thing, you
can copy text from a preview, instead of having to open the file.
Can't tell you much more than that now, since I haven't done all
that much
with it yet.

unless you installed StarOffice into the root directory (/) the above wont
work as you are referencing a non existing object.
You need to call soffice from its actual location. Enter the command
locate soffice
to find out where it is.

I really like the UNIX way - when I first discovered it (back in 1980),
it was a revelation (having worked with CP/m and proprietary BASIC
systems until then). You're quite right about the GUI problem, and
I don't think we'll go back to a pure command line system any time
soon. I like having multiple gvim and shell windows open, and the
display quality of the typical SVGA display leaves a lot to be
desired.

Hey, I'm not Francois-Rene Rideau :-) I just got into this discussion,
so give some time to spew a few philosophical items first :-) :-)
Seriously, I'd like to see a system that extends itself based
on the stuff (for lack of a better word) the user runs. Where
you'd select the editor across the system, and all editing
activities happen through that editor (like installing Word
and having vi as editor).

It is, and it's way superior to DDE, OLE and COM from the user's
viewpoint because it's a UI, and not only an API. This IMHO is
what we should be able to do with graphically oriented systems too.

I agree, but your argument resembles the one made when disk drives
became widely available - the programmer had to be able to control
the layout of the files on the disk so control would not be lost...
I think that a well designed OS will handle object serialization
a lot better than a programmer - once the subject :-) is fully understood.
I wrote programs for a system where the disk was an extend of
256 byte blocks, and where we added a checksum to each block by hand.
We had lots of control, but frankly, it was a mess, and an inflexible
mess at that.

I never said that; whatever the abstraction the programmer works
with, in the final essence it boils down to the processor shunting
bits around.

That's not such a wild idea - if you've got an interface that lets you
combine objects into a working program, the objects could be found
and made available by the OS, dynamically. They don't have to reside
on the local machine either.

I'm from Luxembourg, but a bit of a language freak (though my paying
work involves mostly 'C' and C++). I've got a collection of languages on
my machine, and I've recently been playing with Haskell. Good fun. And
no, I've never met Lennart.

Hi all
I have a network of computers like this:
ISDN line

Linux Router-------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | |
Linux workstation Win95 workstation Win95 workstation
The 4 computers are on a BNC network, despite the fact that my diagram
looks more like a star network.
What I want to do is restrict the speed that the Linux workstation can
download from the 'net via the ISDN line. The Linux router only has 1
network card, both boxes can run Linux 2.2.1.
At first I thought the shaper thing might work, but as the router only
has 1 network card I'm not so sure. Could I do it using an alias for the
network card? Or any other way?
Thanks in advance

"Interrupt posted but not delivered --- IRQ blocked by another device?"
Then a furry of ping responses comes back with the response time as 17000mS.

There is an internet cafe in London running SuSE 6.0 on all their
machines and it's fine. Why pay licences for NT when you can configure
one linux box and kickstart the others with the same configuration all
for the price of one and with no need to have expensive high-spec
hardware running on all the box (required for NT)

Not a problem I shouldn't think. services such as telnet are easily
removed. Root access is best denied by keeping the root password a
secret:) - Leave the root account alone, You can start up to runlevel 5
and use an X graphical login screen (or the KDE equivalent).

Right. If you have a 2.2 kernel with the `Magic SysRq' keys enabled,
then you can regain control at the console. See the Documentation/sysrq.txt

I have noticed the same thing, myself. When plugged directly into my

When plugged into my 386/8mb RAM/no hard drive running off one floppy
distribution of Linux Router Project, and masqueraded behind it, the
same machine gets as much as 2mbps.
I won't complain.

Well, I consulted with a friend who confirmed it. I don't know enough
about Linux systems yet but I guess I'll be learning in a hurry now. He
took a look aroun my system and found that whoever was in removed
several lines of information from the system log to cover their tracks
and messed up the system so Perl was having trouble running.
Next step, re-format, re-install, re-consider my security methods.

I have not used cfisk but its probably only a front end. In
fdisk you would make part 4 and e extended and on the next option
to make a part the logical label will be shown. Logicals start
from 5 and up.

The executable is a derived work that's based upon all the object modules
that were linked together, which themselves are derived works based on
their source modules.

IANAL, and neither is RMS, but I believe he has claimed that he believes
that dynamic and static linking do not make a difference, since the end
result is the same as far as the user is concerned. This is based on the
same logic he used when claiming it's a violation of the GPL if you
distribute your object modules unlinked and have the recipient perform the
linking.

You seem to be forgetting the GPL's explicit exception for the operating
system and libraries that are included with it.
