I lived in NYC for 5 years in the early 90's and dared take the subway
at 2:00am, alone, unarmed. So much for "living a sheltered
existence". :)
I do not think that a thug with a gun can be slowed down. I don't
believe that evan a thug without a gun can be slowed down. But if he
has a gun I get killed more easily.
My point is that all over (Western) Europe, where gun controls are in
place, violent crime is not at the levels reached in some US cities.
This is statistics. Your argument leaks. Of course, I could go on
and expand my views about the impact of poverty in area of the Bronx,
Newark, Oakland, etc etc. But it'd be way off topic.
Support the right to arm bears! :)

It's hard to tell exactly without seeing things like /etc/fstab but
here's what I do.
Make directories for the various file sys. you want to mount. In
/etc/fstab put lines for each of these and make sure they say user or
users (apparently users means if I mount a drive someone else could
unmount it). Here's an example of what I do:
mkdir /mnt/ext2 (for linux floppies)
mkdir /mnt/win95 (for win & dos floppies)
Then put these lines in /etc/fstab:
# device mount point fs type options (something)
/dev/fd0 /mnt/ext2 ext2 users,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/win95 vfat users,noauto 0 0
Check the man pages for mount and fstab for more details. But using
this you should be able (as anybody) to say mount /mnt/win95 to get
access to a dos type floppy (mount /mnt/ext2 for a linux type floppy).
I'm in windows now (gotta trade this winmodem in), but if this doesn't
work get back to me and I''l make sure to go into linux and check it out
specifically and get back to you.

Subject: Wireless keyboard works!!!
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 21:23:16 +0000
In case anyone was wondering or thought of buying one, but wasn't sure
it works...
The wireless keyboard ("surfboard") that is made by PC CONCEPTS does
work in Linux! I've successfully used it in the Linux OS, running
RedHat 5.2, recompiled with kernel 2.2.7, in both the shell and KDE
environments. The only features that don't work (yet) are the
programmable "hot keys" that work in Windows due to the software drivers
(as yet unavailable in Linux, as far as I know).
When I purchased the keyboard last December, it was around $60. I think
it has dropped to around $40. I love it, and am pleasantly surprised at
its instant compatibility with Linux. Please, don't anyone think that
this is an advertisement... :).... I don't work for PC CONCEPTS, but I
do thoroughly enjoy my wireless! It's great that the infrared works
without any modification or configuration. Looks like SETSERIAL comes
through once again!!!
If anyone with driver programming experience decides to try and make a
driver for these "hot keys", PLEASE LET ME KNOW! This would be a great
addition.
Good Luck

I've experienced this with a Crystal CS4232 based (PnP) card, except that all
sound played at doublespeed. I found that it only occured after doing a soft
reboot from Windows into GNU/Linux, a hard reset and then booting into
GNU/Linux solved the problem. Seems either Windows or DOS drivers do something
funny.

I think you see that in *some* cases, in fact in a small enough number
of cases for them to have been memorable, a smaller untrained force
has defeated a larger force. Much more often the smaller force has
shared the fate of the Light Brigade and the Alamo. Further, if you
examine the cases you're talking about I think you will find that the
training advantages of the larger forces were largely neutralized by
tactical factors for which they were unprepared. The US Revolution,
Viet Nam, and Afghanistan were all textbook examples of how the larger
force insistend on trying to fight the war they were prepared to fight
instead of the one they were actually fighting.

And you should never underestimate the role stupidity on the part of
the larger force played in these situations. Counting on your opponent
to be stupid is never good planning.

I don't see the problem here. Just recompile PHP with the new include files
location. Or, if you want, symlink all the include files in

I don't want to start the war again, but this is why RPMs and binary
distributions can be a liability. If you READ the various readme and install
files that come with the source distribution you will see that MySQL is started
with the safe_mysqld script. You can either use this script directly, or wrap
it up in your own init script (which is what the RPM did).

Ugh. WWWThreads is written in Perl!! Last I checked Perl programs were in ASCII
format, so let's drop this "If I find a 'binary' or an RPM it'll be easy" attitude. IF
you READ the readmes and install docs for WWWThreads you will see that
installing it is simply a matter of droping a few files into your CGI bin and
editing some config parameters at the top of a Perl script. Straightforward stuff.
BTW, WWWThreads is a nice little package last I looked.

My guess is that the version you have installed needs a library that you
don't have. Try "ldd netscape408/netscape" and see what it says.
Alternatively "strace netscape408/netscape" should show you what's going

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have started having problems compiling and pulling up man pages on my
fairly fresh installation of RH 5.2
Under my non-root user, when I do man <cmd> I get:
/usr/bin/groff: couldn't exec grotty: Not a directory
/usr/bin/groff: couldn't exec troff: Not a directory
Trying just /usr/bin/groff gives me:
/usr/bin/groff: couldn't exec troff: Not a directory
/usr/bin/groff: couldn't exec grops: Not a directory
But it would seem that if I chsh to /bin/bash I have no trouble. And
also, if I login as root I have no trouble. Both root and my normal
userid have /bin/tcsh as the default shell.
I haven't done any wild chmod's or anything, and have only installed a
few things, mostly small utilities.. I plan on updating to 6.0 soon
which might fix this problem, but it's got me really puzzled as to the
cause.
If specifics are required on libraries I can provide them, but I'm
pretty close to the official stock RedHat 5.2.
Thanks so much!

Any town. Seriously though, I live in a small city here in the UK
(Bradford) and I know many many people who only run Linux or another
*nix varient.
In your previous post you made a comment about letting the figures
speak for themselves, but how can you when there are no accurate
figures? The very nature of Linux and its freeness means that anyone
can get a copy and install it on as many machines as they like. There
is no way of tracking installations of Linux. The closest you could
probably get would be to ask all the commercial vendors how many
copies they have sold and also how many downloads they have had from
their servers. This would still only give you a small piece of the
picture as there are still all the unoffical CDROMs, ftp mirrors and
multiple installations from one CDROM.
However, I would also suggest that it would be almost impossible to
get an accurate figure for the number of MSWindows users also. Okay
Microsoft may produce sales figures, but they are known for lying
about such things, in fact they openly admitted to lying about the
number of downloads of Internet Explorer 4. Also you have to consider
the number of pirated copies of MS products floating around. They will
not show up in any official sales figures.
No one can accuratley say how many copies of Linux are installed, and
I don't see why it matters any way. There are people who have a need
for a stable, free, open OS and they will use one. Others will use
what they are given and others will follow marketing hype.
Personally I don't care how many people are using Linux. I have a use
for it and I am happy with it. But if you want a figure then here it
is: more than 1
