i'd use cron and tar.
read the man pages. tar will let you A) choose which files to backup b) do
incremental backup c) keep old user information. If you don't like cron,
then you could put the script in rc.d or could have it run at login.

Hello ,
I am runing Linux RedHat 5.1 and i upgraded the Kernel 2.2.4
Now, i try to compile gs4.03 (ghostscript) to install a new driver :
cdj850
It didn't find several libs, and i installed jpeglib, zlib, and libpng;
but i had error messages like:
Conflicting types for 'file'
The question is:
DO I NEED TO UPGRADE GLIBC2.0 TO GLIBC2.1 ?

Suggestion: Several different catagories;
- Industry surveys.
- Main media coverage.
- Outright bashing.
- Quotes from M$ themselves.
- Clever sigs.
I was slightly, but only, disapointed when the subject was "hate links"
and the first several links were fairly objective industry reports.
Good PHB ammo, but not nearly as satisfying as a good bashing!

Please see the following link to read our latest press release regarding the
forthcoming launch of OMNIS Studio on the LINUX operating system platform.
http://www.omnis-software.com/whatsnew/press/linux.html
The beta version will be available from July 1999, with full release in
September this year.
We believe we have a real first here, as OMNIS Studio represents a true
4GL Rapid application development system that is binary compatible with
both Windows and Macintosh machines, and soon LINUX.
This means that developers are totally free to choose their preferred
development platform, and then deploy applications without alteration in
all of the above environments.
If you require any more information about OMNIS Studio, or would like to
know about some of the many commercial applications written in OMNIS
that will soon be available for the LINUX environment please don't
hesitate to contact me.

And how many children are you willing to sacrifice to protect
your "right" to own an automobile?
How many children will you sacrifice to the war on drugs?
How many children will die in poverty due to wage inequality?
How many children will you sacrifice to electrocution so that
you can have cheap electrical power?
How many children will die from falls to allow us to have
multi-story buildings?
How many children will you sacrifice to your ideals each year?
Guns are the great equalizer, they allow the weak to stand up
to the strong. They allow the frail to defend themselves physically.
They allow more rapid intervention in the defense of others (that
is one reason police use them). Guns have quite a lot going
for them. Of course they can be misused, but so can cars, knives,
small appliances, baseball bats, golf shoes, and a host of other
things.

It might have something to do with filesystems. The software we use in
Windoze 95 defaults to create a Joliet filesystem on the CD-ROM which is I
believe different from the standard ISO9660 format. You might want to
reburn it and check that. Or you can compile Joilet support into your
kernel.

Well. The US is full of incredibly stupid laws (as any other
country). But sometimes there is a twist to them that makes them
particularly stupid.

I've been using apcupsd daemon (can't locate the readme files, so unable
to provide the URL) with APC SmartUPS via serial link without a hitch
for about half a year now (on a RedHat 5.3 box). It is supposed to
support 'dumb' UPS as well, and can shutdown other networked
workstations in case of power failure. Try some search engine for
'apcupsd' and it should come up.
BTW, it's free.

Is the release so bad that I should not install the

Most binaries for Ghostscript 5.x omit the stcolor driver, under the
theory that the uniprint driver should be used instead. This is a poor
assumption for the ESC 4x0 printers, since the only way to get them to
work at better than 360x360 dpi resolution, AFAIK, is to use the ESC 500
printer driver definition, which produces glacially slow printing.
I don't know if this site has Ghostscript 5.50, but it did have 5.10 the
last I checked, compiled with stcolor drivers. The binaries are packaged
as RPMs:

They might well be: what if they had wrong or false data about my
financial situation? I should have the right to know they have those
data and the right to get them rectified. Actually they shouldn't even
have the right to hold such an information without my consent! Doesn't
the EU law say so?

Since they talking about me, it *is* my business. The government is,
after all, responsible to me (well, since I'm leaving in a country of
which I'm not a citizen, this is not entirely true, but yet...): they
are not.

Upgrade the tulip.c file and recompile your kernel or modules. You can
get an upgrade from:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html
The 0.89H driver that comes with even the 2.2.x series kernels (at least
as high as 2.2.3; I haven't checked later ones) doesn't include good
support for most of the Tulip "clone" chips. I'm using 0.90q on my
system, and it works well with a LinkSys board with a PNIC (Lite-On) Tulip
clone chip.

I was given a Jumbo Track 250 tape drive which hooks to the FDC. I
configured in the kernel ftape and zftape, and left the other stuff as
default. Then I downloaded ftape-tools, and compiled. ftmt retension
seems to work ok, but I get a bunch of "function not supported" or
"Device not configured" messages.
Also, ftformat keeps returning an "uknown API" message:
root:reliant ftformat$ ./ftformat -f /dev/rawqft0
Unknown format API version. Giving up.
If I try it on qft0, as opposed to raw, I get the following:
root:reliant ftformat$ ./ftformat -f /dev/qft0
Unknown format API version. Giving up.
Ioctl error sending enter primary mode command: Permission denied
How can I get this to work? Besides compiling ftape in the kernel, is
there anything else I'm supposed to do?

I'm able to capture sound and images with my Hauppage WinTV PCI using
bttvgrab. However, I haven't found any way to capture more than one
image per second. The sound is captured using the soundcard which is
connected to line-out from the WinTV.
