It looks like you installed the kernel you compiled yourself over the
prexisting one. This leaves modules that are now compiled into the kernel
still present. This, combined with an explit listing of modules to be loaded
at boot time in /etc/modules (rather than "auto") seems to answer the what
and why.
If you use "kernel-package"'s "make-kpkg" command, you could have built a
proper package of the kernel you build yourself. Using such a package would
prevent "leftover" modules.

On some setups (e.g. Debian 2.1 and Red Hat 5.2), the C and C++ compilers
are from different sources (C from gcc 2.7.2.3; C++ from EGCS), meaning that
the C compiler frontend "gcc" cannot be used to compile C++ binaries. Try if
env CXX=g++ ./configure -v
helps; if not, check "config.log" for the detailed error messages (most
likely you'll need to install separate g++ and libstdc++ development
packages).

Why did NCSA take this decision?
Both IE and Netscape have lots of built in bugs.
It seems to me that Mosaic was very stable at the time.
Does the last release of Mosaic support HTML 3.2?
What does it not support besides not supporting IE and Netscape HTML
extensions?

I'm not sure you need a driver. If your SCSI card is recognized,
shouldn't the CD drive be recognized also?
If you are looking for software, try searching for the cdrecord

Ah, you're behind a local PBX . You'll have to change the
modem's init strings to not be looking for a carrier_detect
signal due to the fact that the PBX doesn't provide one.
Add
ATX3
to the initstring sent to the modem, or write it into
the modem's NVRAM using any terminal program.

Right. The modem's default settings are ATX4, which means

Just what are you trying to accomplish with this?
procmail reads from stdin and writes to a mailbox and perhaps stderr: if
you just spawn it in the background, it's not going to do anything.

I've implemented the trap-part and now it works fine: the background job
is killed when the script is killed.
But I've noticed that without the trap-part in it, there's a difference
using 'kill PID' or 'killall script' to kill the script. The second way
keeps the background job from the script alive (which was my problem).
When I say kill PID, the background job is killed as well.
But that was not possible for me, because it's xscreensaver that kills
the job for me, and it seems to use the 'killall' way of killing.
The actual script I use now is:
#!/bin/bash
urlget -f -s -m 120 $1 | jpegtran -optimize > ~/.root.jpg
xv -root -rmode 5 -poll -smooth -max -viewonly ~/.root.jpg &
pid=$!
trap "kill $pid ; exit" INT HUP TERM
while sleep 60s; do
urlget -f -s -m 120 $1 | jpegtran -optimize > ~/.root.jpg;
done
Setting this as the xscreensaver program to write to the root-window,
and giving the script as argument an URL of a vidcam-picture, the result
is quite nice. But without the trap in the script, every time the
screensaver started, an instance of xv stayed alive, which was no good
for my system performance...
Tanks for helping me out!

I don't think anybody in their right mind thinks Microsoft is devoid of any
rather superb technical talent. Nobody said that about IBM in the 70's, nor
Apple in the 80's, but look what it got them for all their trouble. Few (if
any) of those folks with true "talent" were out to "screw you around" then,
or now, with Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, SGI, etc., etc.
The issue is not with Microsoft (indeed, generally) *technical* people, and
I can speak directly from my experience of 30+ years with this. It's with a
predatory white-collar criminal class of management and marketdroid lackeys
who *knowingly* cross the line from competitive business tactics to illegal
business monopolies and price-fixing. These reptiles will be the first ones
to *turn on their own technical troops* with the blame when they get caught
with *their* hands in the making of monopoly pie.
Do a search on "UCITA" and get a glimpse of their latest sleazy tactics. It
"never ceases to amaze me" how sociopathic these greedmeisters can be if it
is the incredible you're after. Rent the movie "Contact" is sci-fi would be
more to your liking than the law library and the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Is it possible to get glquake running using a TNT card? According to

Am I wasting my time?
I'm having trouble just getting SVGAlib working... if I install the

program. Then my monitor complains that it's in a 28.something hsync,
60Hz vsync mode, and I have to blindly hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to get video
back.

I don't have Quake2, but I'm hoping that glquake's demands will be smaller
and it'll run faster.

To me it isn't a problem of gcc; maybe a problem of path. Can you give
us more information:
1) with wich user are you connected?
2) in wich dir are you?
3) how do you compile?
4) Are there messages during compilation?
Ciao Mei

This timeout is usually decided by your ISP. Usually it is
between 15 minutes to 30 minutes. It is considered anything
between rude and a violation of your AUP to defeat this timeout -
most ISPs will tell you (quite rightly, IMHO) to buy a static IP
address if you dont like this).
If you still want to defeat it (or you are sure it's on your
side), one simple way to keep a connection alive is to do this in
a separate shell:
ping -i 60 some.host.that.you.can.connect.to
This sends a ping every minutes. Usually enough to keep it alive.
Another possibility is to use diald - except for the first
connection after the last timeout, you wont notice that you're
offline in between.

waiting for the predictive-thought interface. It knows 1 minute
before *I* know that I want to get online, and will dialout in
anticipation ;-)

Standard gotcha for most people coming from - say - ksh.
It's documented. You need to use:
a=`echo 1`
instead.

I dont have a lot of experience with ipfwadm or ipchains to do
what you're trying to do. But on the face of it, this:
># Forward email connections to outside email servers
>/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 188.168.23.10 25 -D 0.0.0.0/0
>1024:65535
doesnt sound right. Because of the "-b", this is exactly the same
as the previous rule.
Try switching the 25 and the 1024:65535 in the second rule. When
your sendmail is trying to send mail to an outside domain, the
source port is NOT 25, the destination (on some-other-domain.com)
is port 25.
