To be fair, it isn't really possible to perform a good cost-benefit
analysis of many environmental programs despite what some politicians
would have you believe.  

It is also worth noting that we never perform any cost-benefit analysis
of just continuing down the road we are on.  It is difficult to define
how much 10 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere costs us.. but we can agree
that there is a cost.

Why not have the best of both worlds and use an expect script in your
user account's .profile (or .bash_profile) which does an `su -` and
automatically issues your username and password and drops you to a root
prompt?

`man expect` for more info.

There are a few apps which do this:

There are a couple of smaller utilities that will also help:

Yup, you won't be able to dial out of the line while mgetty still has control
of it. BTW, you might also find de.alt.comm.mgetty useful.

Create a script to dial which: 
  (1) Removes or comments out the /etc/inittab line:
      T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
  (2) Calls `init q ; telinit q`
  (3) Calls `pon ; plog -f`

Create a script to reset your mgetty which:
  (1) Calls `poff`
  (2) Reenables your /etc/inittab setting:
      T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100
  (3) Calls `init q ; telinit q`

You've got two options:

Surely this is in an FAQ by now.

Insert your own text into /etc/issue.net.

Done.

Only with exception that cdrecord cannot handle toc files,
afaik. Hence the disk isn't going to be an _exact_ copy of the
original. :( That would affect its recognizeablility for cddb.

It would especially be interesting to see how he ran camps in Russia
when he'd been dead for 30 some years before the Russian Revolution. :)

There you are then. I did read what you mention above in the man pages, but
then I found a plip installation description on the net (on the Linux 
laptops site) which made no mention of those lines, so I thought: I'll 
follow this guy's advice, he must know what he's doing.

Even so, with the addition of your lines, I still came up empty.

Then I looked at the daemons...

You were right: I had - naively - assumed that the necessary daemons were 
already running, but as it turned out, my SuSE linux had defaulted to a 
network-less installation (a bit silly for a linux machine, if you ask me).

Luckily, SuSE has YaST, just about the best setup tool I've ever seen on 
linux (though I've not seen that many), and I was able to set up PLIP from 
YaST and activate the daemons (I had to do it this way, they're not in the 
directories you mentioned and I'm too lazy to search for them. YaST found 
them without prob).

I seem to have a network now, but whenever I try to mount the /cdrom 
directory, I get a "permission denied" on the client. I did go back (via 
YaST) and set my network file access to "easy", which, according to the 
help text, should allow even a transistor radio to access the server. Maybe
so, but not the laptop.

In any case, I'm halfway there, and you, mate, have earned yourself a 
couple of pints. I happen to own a (Polish) bar in Brussels, so if you're 
ever in the neighbourhood, give me a ping and I'll be happy to serve you 
the toxine of your choice.

Subject: Help!  Deleted accidentally windows files from linux
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 00:19:00 -0800
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a little problem.  I have (had) Linux and Windows95 on separate
hard 
drives on my computer.  While working late at night in Linux, I
mistakenly 
typed as root '/bin/rm -r *' in my /mnt directory which had my windows 
partitions mounted.  After a moment I realized that something was wrong
and 
I aborted this process.  Yes, you are thinking, what an idiot!  Yes, of 
course I guess I am...  I won't bore you by trying to explain what I 
_thought_ I was doing...

Anyhow I tried booting windows95, and the computer could not find 
COMMAND.COM, and so I figured that some of the files were deleted off of
my 
c: hard drive.  I have since not since written to that drive (as far as
I 
know).

Is it possible to undo this damage?  I don't have a backup for anything
on 
c: drive and sometimes it is convenient to boot in windows.

Since I aborted the process midway through its descent, and * expands to 
'c: cdrom d: ...', is it true that since some files are still on the c: 
(windows) drive, the scope of my damage is limited to files on the c: 
drive?

Does anyone know the answer to these questions?  My email is

Usenet news is a sort of hit or miss forum, especially in the
technical groups.  The Linux groups get a heck of a lot of traffic.
The misc group is also getting traffic that belongs in advocacy.
Also, as Bill stated, questions frequently don't have enough
information included for any helpful response.

That being said, I have found that the Linux technical groups provide
a better signal to noise ratio than the microsoft help groups.
However, there are comp.lang.* groups that leave the comp.os.linux.*
groups in the dust.  I guess each neighborhood has its own culture.

Hah!

People always feed the trolls.  They can't help it.

It has been observed that one's nose is never so happy as when it is
thrust into the affairs of another, from which some physiologists have
drawn the inference that the nose is devoid of the sense of smell.
