You can always "mv foo.pdf oldfoo.pdf"
and write the new version to foo.pdf
while a user looks at foo.pdf (now oldfoo.pdf).
To see the changes, the user will have to reload
the document. But maybe this is not what you want.

In this household, it's a "widely known and accepted fact" that I've
compiled several kernels on this Slack 3.5 box, up to and including
2.2.0 -- and I've done some of them more than once, to add/subtract

I don't find it particularly bizarre.  I started using Slack after I
"upgraded" from Really Horrible 4.2 to 5.1 and the "upgrade"
completely destroyed my system.  After I formatted & installed 5.1, I
could compile almost nothing -- even emacs would not compile.  I wiped
that crap off my drive & went to Slackware.  In practically no time at
all I was up and running, able to compile without problems --
including the KERNEL. AFAIAC, the blame for Really Horrible's failure
lies squarely with libc6.

As far as usability is concerned, the fact that Slackware uses libc5
instead of libc6 is an asset.  It's fine for people who want to be on
the `cutting edge' to screw around with updating the libs; they can
affort to spend a lot of time hacking and patching to keep things
working correctly.  I just want something that works.  I've got it.

Uses umsdos right?  I don't know, but I think using umsdos for the root
fs is kinda weak.  Linux belongs on an ext2 filesystem and in its own
partition.  I have heard that the umsdos system is slow,...and I know it
uses more disk space then native systems do because it uses hidden files
to do what it does.

Sure

Strengths?

It's Slackware.
It's Slackware.
umm It's Slackware
In other words, its slackware and that makes it good....the other
distros suck my dog's fleas.

 Weakeness?

Its on the umsdos filesystem.

umsdos is nice to use for the dos partition to share space and still get
the permissions and everything, but to have it running on root
well...icky.

Slackware itself installs onto its own partition...zipslack seems to me
to be sort of an intro deal to get you started easily.

The one that runs on your hardware.  Enlightenment developers do not

1 server and the runtime libraries....also some of the programs that
come with are absolutely necissary.  For a first timer I recomend just
getting the whole thing and then later when you know what you need you
can decide for yourself what to and not to download.  Once you know what
server you need and have it running,..go ahead and delete the rest of
the servers...they start with XF86_

Sounds like you have the carrier signal always on. 
Either configure your modem to show the carrier correctly or tell minicom
to ignore it. 
With many modems, AT &C1 probably helps (add &C1 in your init string or
save it in the nvram settins on your modem, but first check your modem's
manual). 
If you can't get your modem to work right, the other choice is to make
minicom ignore the carrier signal. ("Modem and dialing" menu, "Modem has
DCD line")

There is nothing magical about the cuaN and ttySn devices and the kernel
version.  Both devices point to the same resource.  

No matter what your kernel version is, you should abandon cuaN devices
where possible and only use ttySn devices.  

Of course, you may want to know what the difference between the two
devices is.  This should be documented somewhere, but the architecture
of separate callout (cuaN) and dialin (ttySn) ports was for ancient
gettys.  Modern gettys (eg mgetty) don't require this architecture.

Essentially, using the cuaN port blocked the corresponding ttySn port
at the kernel level.  It has since been decided to standardize on the
ttySn devices.

>ln -s ttyS0 mouse (if you have a 2.2.x kernel)

You can use this no matter the kernel.

Subject: gcc/g++ error - too many symbolic links
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 1999 21:05:24 GMT

Trying to compile a mass of C++ code, I get "Too many symbolic links"
as header files get included.  Funny thing is, not one symbolic link
is in my include path.  All header files are in the same directory,
at the same directory level.  I think the error is actually that
I have too many levels of include - one header includes another 
which includes another, etc.

How would I fix this short of restructuring the code?  It looks to
me like a compiler deficiency...

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I will be purchasing/building a dual-boot linux/Win98 system soon, and
want to know if it's better to put both OS's on different drives, or if
it doesn't really matter much.  Two 4.5 GB drives isn't much more
expensive than one 9 GB drive (I think), so if there are clear
advantages to using two drives it might be worth it.  If I have two
drives, are the boot problems still present since the boot sector is
still located on the master drive and must be apppropriately shared?  Or
am I way out of touch with the cutting edge now?  (It's been a couple of
years since I was an active computer geek.)

Also, how big does a drive have to be before the 1024 cylinder
limitations causes trouble?

See http://www.thinlinux.org for a generic small linux distribution.
It is designed to boot from small media (floppy disk) and run from a RAM 
disk.

For an example of using thinlinux for building an application see

How much more expensive was Oracle?  (20%, 50, 100%, ?)  Your post seems to
suggest that the refund on SQL Server only covered part of the cost of the

I am using xacc at home

I run a P166 with 64MB of RAM and a 127MB swap file.  I purchased all
three: corel, applix and staroffice.   I like them all.  I gave SO to my
son for his RedHat box, and I keep Corel and Applix on my box.  I prefer

better than Corel.  However, I write a lot of documents containing

Thanks is advance!
