Subject: netscape: fonts too small
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 22:10:32 -0230
Hello,
I am using high resolution Sony monitors that are set up for flicker
free performance at a resolution of 1280x1024.
Since the monitors are only 15" monitors, netscape fonts appear too small,
even when I change the font sizes in the preferences to 24.0 .
The version of netscape is the one that came with Red Hat 5.1 (probably 4.5)
It would be nice if you can select a font size of for example 40.0 or 50.0.
These sizes might look ridiculous on some monitors but not on a 15"
monitor doing 1280x1024.
Unfortunately, as is the case with many Linux users, I am not the system
administrator and thus cannot change the resolution that these monitors
are using (sigh).
Thanks to all Netscape developers,
Neil Zanella

Well, that really is a very high resolution for 15" (I've never gone
above 1024x768 at that size), and I don't see what you mean about
"flicker-free operation" (since that depends on the refresh rate, not the
resolution). One thing you can do, though, is make sure your X font path
has the 100dpi path before 75dpi. This will cause a lot of the standard
X fonts to be bigger; it may or may not help in your case though.

A business is not a human being. You seem to be really confused -- in

Under your theory of law, if I find myself unable to get credit
because of an incorrect credit report, I would no opportunity to
straighten out the problem -- because I have no "right" to see the
"confidential" information on my credit report. Under your theory of
law, if a former employer is angry because I left his employ and
therefore lies about my employment history to one of my prospective
employers, I would no recourse -- because, you claim, I have no
"right" to know what that employer said about me. Yet, you would
protect his "right" to lie about me and keep it a secret! Sheesh!
We can all be thankful you aren't making the laws.

The unix shell with its command history, editing and substitution,

The fact that you have had problems with installing linux does not
demonstrate anything like what you think it does. Some people have
trouble with it, some don't. Most new computer users could not
install Windows on their own. I know -- I do tech support and help
them do it. If your theory is correct, you've just proved that
Windows is not ready for the desktop.

You are correct. Cross-cultural comparisons such as the one made
between Suisse & the US are generally useless. The reason the Swiss
are able to keep guns in every closet & still have a safe society is
that they had the necessary social structure in place to begin with.
In any event, it's obviously stupid to claim that firearms in the hall
closet reduce the incidence of assaults and rapes outside the home
(the argument of the RTKBA'ers here). The US is a violent country,
with its entire history dedicated to the celebration of violence. Gun
control is simply a first step in ending that worship of violence. As
we can see from this discussion, most Americans, no what their class
or race, still consider killing as the best method of "crimefighting."

What's in /etc/pam.d/rlogin? It sounds like you might have
"auth required /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so"
which requires hosts.equiv or .rhosts authentication to take place;
you might want to change this to
"auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so"
which authenticates you if you pass hosts.equiv or .rhosts
authentication, but doesn't remove you immediately if you don't? I
don't know the reason for the messages the remote user is getting,
though.
Better still, don't use rlogin or telnet - the former's
mind-bogglingly insecure, and the latter only slightly less so. Get
hold of a copy of ssh and use it instead.

The models out last year were pre-release developer models with hardly any

You are correct in this deduction. In fact, signal 11 while compiling
large programs almost always indicates a hardware error. I have even
seen a FAQ about it, on my Infomagic CD-ROM, on the disk containing
the Red Hat distribution. (The file claims to be a copy of a web page
from www.bitwizard.nl)
Kemal> Running PC100 SDRAMs at 66 MHZ bus speed can create a problem ?
Based on my knowledge of semiconductors, I would say not. It is
possible your RAM is simply bad. It could also be your cache memory
(on the Celeron chip). Or it might be your hard disk.
One of the first things to do, is to check all the jumper settings
relating to memory timing (you might have forgotten one when you
switched your board back to 66 MHz).
One (very unpleasant) possibility is that you have damaged your
mainboard or processor in your overclocking experiments.
My best guess would be the hard disk. Try running badblocks on the
device, to see if that turns up any errors. Especially check the swap
partitions, they might be causing the problem. (I had a couple of bad
blocks on my swap partition lately, and it locked up my SCSI bus, and
the complete system.)

One Linux box can do all of the following, concurrently:

10) Run gated, routed, firewalling, and other TCP/IP odds and ends.
Of course, if you want *one* box to do all of this, make sure it has enough
processor power, main memory, and a a fast enough EtherNet board. Don't
expect to serve hundreds of PCs, Macs, and UNIX workstations from a '386
with 4 meg of RAM... For a serious server cluster, using several boxes
is probably a good idea -- wired together with a FDDI backbone with a
serious (hardware) RAID-based file server (or servers).

And here was me thinking that the purpose of the seti@home client was
to perform mathematical calculations downloaded from their server

This one is Java 1.2 (I get the same error with jdk 1.1.7 v?). I've
managed to get around it by adding the -native options to stop using
green threads. It may be that I have screwed up libraries. I'll
correct that when I get a new drive and reload linux onto it. Thanks
for the help.
