I remember using Alt-XXX in DOS to write accents. Windows can do all
of them by going to Control Panel - Settings - Keyboard - Language and
installing U.S. English International. You then have accents,
cedilles, �,, etc, in all your applications.

It's true that keyboarding is faster and easier, once you learn it.
However, this has nothing to do with having a GUI or not, but whether the
designers built this capability into that particular software. Most Windows
apps can be operated by the keyboard only if desired, and experienced users
do use them that way. I haven't found the same capability with X apps.
It's either not there, must be enabled somehow, or operates differently than
I'm used to, and I haven't figured it out yet. For example, most Windows
apps will have a highlighted "OK" button, or similar, always operated by the
enter/return key. Not so with my KDE stuff, I have to go to the mouse.
It's easier for most users to start with the mouse, and then learn keyboard
shortcuts as they go along. It is best to have either option at all times,
and not be limited to typing in commands, or "mousing around." Most major
Windows apps run that way because they have keyboard functionality that's
held over from DOS, and Macs were purposely designed that way from the
outset. X apps seem to be far less consistent in their support for both.

Most people will spend more time just getting Linux up and running, and
everything working, than they will ever lose in a year's worth of crashes
and reboots. Please note that I'm referring to workstation stuff here, like
office or desktop publishing apps, etc. You don't need anything fancy to
write code, so programming doesn't count. Of course, servers are another
story. Also, there's a ton of stuff you can do with Linux if you need to
run or write scientific apps, but unless you're a physicist...
I wonder what you were doing with Windows, and now Linux. What apps were
you running that were crashing so much? What kind of tweaking were you
doing? The only way to "tweak" Windows is to do a clean install on a better
machine. Then, get to work at whatever you're using the computer for.
Anything else is a waste of time.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After hunting around the RedHat "knowledge base" archives I got some
clues that led me to get POP3 working. What happened to me might be of
use to other Linux beginners:
-- I looked around the messages in /var/log. Inside "secure" there were
messages that showed what happened when I tried to make a POP3
connection. It seemed the ipop3d binary was not installed.
-- Searching through the RedHat knowledge base area, I was able to find
out that ipop3d is part of the imap package (which I certainly would not
have guessed, not being familiar with that package - should that have
been "obvious"?)
-- Following the instructions to install the package (which was on my
RedHat 5.2 cd-rom, but I couldn't find the package online...) and
restart the inetd daemon, it worked immediately.
I wonder why, though, the default "server" install of RedHat Linux does
not install POP3 along with sendmail and the other server stuff.

I don't believe this to be true. The major difficulty new users have
with Windows is, in fact, learning how to mouse around. Even people
who can't type understand the functionality of the keyboard.

Basic multitasking. For example, on my 486-133 (AMD 5x86) with 32M of
RAM, downloading a large file through IE, editing a sound file, having
open & minimized a word processor, and several small background tasks
- -- a calendar, a transfer monitor, netdate, that sort of thing -- were
all that was required to cause Win 95 to start disk thrashing to the
point of where I could achieve "rebootive" multitasking. I started
with linux on that same box & I have never had that problem again.
Now, on my K6-233, I can have a kernel compile, a large file download,
three separate instances of emacs running (I'm usually logged into 3
VTs simultaneously), plus all the little proggies running the linux
show behind the scenes, and I can just work away without worry or
inconvenience. Hell, when I'm on my Win 95 partition, just loading up
CodeWarrior brings everything to a halt for about a minute.

That depends on a couple of things. The free space created by deleting the
FAT32 partion must be large enough to accomodate the Linux distro you're
planning to install. One other thing you should think about is a linux swap
partition. You should consider using some of that free space for swap (which
linux uses a separate partion for), esspecially if your machine isn't loaded
with enough physical memory to accomodate the programs you plan to run
simultaniously. Best of luck.

Subject: Help: Access to Linux for disabled people: on screen keyboard for Linux ?
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 12:23:01 GMT
Hello,
I am curious about the Linux OS but then I need an on screen keyboard
for Linux because i cannot use a regular keyboard..
I am dependant on an on-screen-keyboard as an alternative to a
computer keyboard. I am using Eek! for Windows on Windows98.
An on-screen-keyboard is a window on my screen that contains all keys
on a regular keyboard. I can type a key by clicking on a button that
is in this window. The on screen keyboard looks like a keyboard but
then in a resizeable, moveable window on my screen.
I have to use this because I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and
therefore i have a very limited reach and hand function. But i still
can use a mouse and point and click on the "keys/buttons" of my
on-screen-keyboard.
I have looked up some pages on the web that have a picture and info.
http://www.m-art.com/software/mousekey/index.html
http://www.madenta.com/specs/spec_dor.htm
SofType on http://www.orin.com/access/SofType/index.htm
Is there an on screen keyboard program for Linux available ? If no,
who is willing to develop such a program. This would not only benefit
mobility handicapped people but also i've this as an alternative to
the small keyboards of handheld computers (palmpilot and such).

I have the same problem. I have run the printer configuration program
and changed to /dev/lp0 and it doesn't help at all.
I can see in /var/log/message that the kernel finds my parallell port
and even my printer at parport0. But when I triy to print to lp0 or lp1
and make a lpq it just says something about (Is the printer off-line?)
or something like that. It also shows the queue.
I tried to include parport and parport_pc in the kernel and I have tried
with them as modules. But no success. If I boot my old kernel 2.0.36 it
works fine.
Any ideas??

Depends on the shell. For /bin/tcsh, you can alter /etc/csh.cshrc.
For /bin/sh or /bin/bash, look for /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc and

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I recently got a Terratec Maestro 32/96 soundcard,
but I have a lot of troubles making it work.
Some reasearch revailed that this card is based on a CS4232,
so I'm using that driver. It also is a Pnp card, so I use
isapnptools.
Now when I start playing some mp3's everything goes fine, but
the second (or third when I'm lucky) song dies with
Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error?
I'm sure there are no hardware conflicts, I even tried al kinds
of combinations of IRQ/DMA/IO, and I even installed
the OSS try-out version... Nothing works, still the same error...
(although OSS didn't play anything at all)
Unloading the driver modules always says "resource busy", so my
guess is that or my soundcard is broken (what would be very strange,
since
it line-in sound and aud CD's give no troubles att oll), or there is
a bug in the CS4232 driver, or I am doing something completely wrong.
This is what I do:
modprobe sound
insmod ad1848
insmod uart401
insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=3
(these are exactely the same settings as in my isapnp.conf)
Any help would be grately appreceated.

Your $PATH variable is in RAM, u can modify it in the file ~/.bash_profile.
you can also type "export $PATH=/new/path:$PATH" at the command prompt to add a
directory to your path temporarily.

The ftp protocol makes no provision for the two different Mac "forks,"
AFAIK. The solution is on the Mac end of things: Use MacBinary, BinHex,
or some similar protocol to combine the two forks into one file. The
icons will be invisible to people using your ftp site, but once they've
downloaded and unpackaged the file, it'll be there.
Some other protocols, like netatalk, let you share files for the Mac, and
these handle resource forks differently, but I assume by the fact that
you're planning to use ftp that netatalk (which is designed for use on
relatively small local networks) isn't an option.
