Use CDRWin, don't use Easy CD Creator which doesn't make a true

Subject: Re: How to get System Commander to boot Linux?
Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1999 19:32:06 GMT
Have fun... I once set up a system to multi-boot Linux, Windoze95,
and Windoze NT4 workstation using System Commander Deluxe...
I had some problems using the "add OS wizard" If Linux is already
installed and configured to boot from the Linux "boot" partition.
(either / or /boot depending on how you defined your partitions? - a
little fuzzy on this) then just bail out of the start up menu to the
menu maintenance and add an entry for Linux pointing to the partition
LILO is set to load from. (Recommend against starting from the master
boot record unless you want to rely on LILO for your multi-boot needs
and abandon System Commander...)
If you have not already loaded everything keep the following in mind:
Windoze 95/98/DOS needs to be installed for System Commander to do its
job. (Unless you want to use FAT with NT)
Windoze NT is least flexibile on where to boot from. (has to boot
from a partition on first physical hard drive with a starting sector
before 2047MB)
Linux can boot from any drive and does not need a "primary partition"
in order to load. (Making it the most flexible of the three OS
choices as far as the multi-boot partition stuff goes) Therefore I
recommend loading it last.
System Command can resize FAT / FAT32 partitions. NTFS and LINUX
partitions can not be resized after they are created so plan partition
sizes carefully.
YMMV

There's a package I read about in PCWeek called VMWare (I think)
that supposedly runs Windozw95/98/NT files in a window in X under
Linux. The personal copy price was listed at $99 so it ought to
be less expensive somewhere. I haven't tried it but plan to
since I have MYM and Quicken and need access to their features.

Yes, you should be able to. I have an Adaptec 2940 with 1
internal drive and two external drives. I compiled in the
Adaptec stuff when I built the system then re-compiled and
included IDE SCSI emulation for the HP 8100. Works just fine.

Subject: GLX accelerated quake with TNT card
Date: 9 Jun 1999 18:15:06 GMT
Hi. I am trying to get quake 2 working with my TNT card on linux.
Unfrotunately, this is not in the quake howto yet ( hint hint )
So far, I have the following:
firstly, it works fine in software rendering modes ( softx and soft )
My current setup is as follows:
I removed the ref_glx.so file from the quake2 directory ( /usr/local/quake2 )
and copied the nvidia glx.so library into that directory , and made
ref_glx.so a link to glx.so
I also have the libGL.so* files from the nvidia distribution in my quake
directory, and symbolic links libMesaGL.so* in that directory.
When I try to put it into GL/X mode, it exits with this error:
LoadLibrary("ref_glx.so") failed: /usr/local/games/quake2/ref_glx.so:
undefined symbol: GlxExtensionInitPtr
Does anyone have an idea (a) how to set up quake2 with a TNT board or
(b) what I am doing wrong ?
thanks,

Subject: Re: newbie GCC problem
Date: 9 Jun 1999 19:31:22 GMT
I'm using RedHat 5.2 and found that for some strange reason the install
doesn't put cc1plus in the path. I corrected it by putting a link in
/usr/bin to the actual file:
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.90.29/cc1plus
/usr/bin/cc1plus
You can use "find / -name cc1plus" to see where cc1plus resides on your
system if it has been installed. If you run this as root you get fewer
error messages since root can recurs through all directories.
Once you do this gcc should be able to call cc1plus with no problems.
Hope this helps,

Assuming you want to stick with a vi-like program, you can get vim
(see www.freshmeat.net for the latest version info, etc...) and install it
in place of or in addition to the standard "elvis" vi-clone.
If you're willing to sell your soul to the RMS, I guess you could use
emacs instead. ;-)

Bonjour,
Since I upgraded my rh5 to rh6 I have some troubles:
1- In console mode my keyboard is turned in qwerty mode but it is an
azerty one under xwindow. I have to do the following sequence: use
kbdconfig (the keyboard dispayed by kbdconfig is fr-latin1), choose
another keyboard, quit kbdconfig, reuse kbdconfig to reset fr-latin1
keyboard. This setting stands for only one session. I think that we can
find something more simple!
2- With the rh5, I used to boot under xwindow (init 5 in the inittab)
now it is impossible, the boot fail with this message: "cannot execute
/etc/prefdm". There no prefdm file on my system!
3- The french man pages have lost their accents.
4- I had my rxvt terms with a specific font (rxvt -fn myfont), this font
is still present on my system as I can see it with xlsfonts and emacs
use it without any problem, but rxvt refuses to do so.
5- I have some trouble with apm: the clock is not correctely set when I
resume after a standby period (2 hours late) and sometimes the xterms
are freezed, I have to quit xwindow and restart it.
If anybody has any ideas on these small, but irritating, problems......
Thank you.

Agent (MTA) rather than a Mail User Agent (MUA, e.g. elm, mutt, netscape).
Debian GNU/Linux ships with the MTAs exim (http://www.exim.org), sendmail
and smail. Debian GNU/Linux is composed only of software that meets the
Debian Free Software Guidelines
(http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines), which imply that
commercial use is allowed.
Additionally Postfix (http://www.postfix.org) and qmail
(http://www.qmail.org) are available in Debian package format. They do not
meet the DFSG, but for different reasons than disallowing commercial use.

Commercial support for sendmail is available via Sendmail Inc.
(http://www.sendmail.com/), so obviously many people do not consider it too
complicated for commercial use.

Hello,
How about encrypting the file system? Linux Journal had an article on this
in July 1998 which used the DES/IDEA kernel patches to allow encrypting a
file system. Hence the only way to mount the file system would be with a
password.

or trap the signal and kill the background process(es):
#!/bin/bash
command1 &
command1_pid=$!
trap "kill $command1_pid ; exit" INT HUP TERM
while sleep 30s; do
command2;
done
