If you can "man mimencode" and find out what options will do what
you want, you can have procmail pipe the message to it and do its
job.
For me: I dont know if its a bad mimencode or what, but I have
never managed to get mimencode to do that. I use "munpack" an
older program that still works fine.

Help!
I'm looking for any netflow collector/analyzer tools that can work against a
Cisco 7200 series router.
While I wouldn't mind hearing about other OS options, I'd prefer something
that runs on Linux.
Any info or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,

You should have not enable ext2 filesystem support during kernel config.
always have second load kernel in /etc/lilo.conf to play safe... or
mounting root at wrong disk.

I'm not sure but it's possible the compiler is generating invalid
code. I built pdksh and all I could get out of it was seg faults.
Found the pdksh in the cds rpms so did not check it out further.

I got the impression that - as 6.0 was quite stable - 6.1 came out too
soon, mybe as some sort of past-beta-but-before-production. Anyway, they
ship it with kernel 2.2.5, which is, as I understand it, one of the two
unstable 2.2.x kernels (2.2.8 being the other), so that doesn't peak for
them either.
I'd try to get my hands on both of them and maybe Debian (If you have a
fast Internet connection, you can install all (? at least SuSE and
Debian) of them via FTP) and test them. Make your own opinion!

Try adding 'linear' (without quotes) to the top section of your

under similar conditions.

It can be coaxed into running. I installed glibc 2.0.7 runtime
libraries from the latest slackware distribution. You also need a
glibc compiled libstdc++.so.2.8. The Redhat libstdc++.so.2.8 rpm
will work, but if your system has a libc5 libstdc++.so.2.8, you will
have to do some tricks to get them to coexist.

Disconnected; protocol version not supported (Illegal protocol version.)
The other server is a IRIX UNIX box. With Redhat 5.2, we did get a

I'm having trouble getting quake or quake2 to work on my linux system.
I run SuSE 6.1 distribution Kernel 2.2.9 with all updated system
components (including updated x11). My video card is a Diamond Stealth
4000 AGP card with 4Mb RAM. The card is supported my current system.
The following is the exact error message I get upon execution:
Added packfile ./id1/pak0.pak (339 files)
Added packfile ./id1/pak1.pak (85 files)
PackFile: ./id1/pak1.pak : gfx/pop.lmp

600k surface cache
Error: VID: Could not get any shared memory.

I'm running the program as root to make sure the program works at all
before I configure it for regular user accounts. Currently, the same
error comes up even if I do run it with a regular user account. The
error is the same whether I run quake or quake2 and on previous
installations of linux both versions worked like a charm. Does anyone
have any ideas about this? Please help. Thank You.

By default, 5% of the filesystem is reserved for superuser (i.e root).
This is to prevent a user from bringing a machine to its knees by using up
all the disk space on / and leaving the system unable to do important
things like write logs and create temp files.
You can change the amount of reserved space with the tune2fs program. But
beware that ext2fs reportedly has trouble with its anti-fragmentation
algrorithms if the filesystem gets too full. You should only reduce the
reserved space, certainly not remove it!
hope this helps,
bye

No. Windows Users.

Subject: Mounting iso CD-ROM image ?
Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 22:34:01 GMT
Hi,
Could someone tell me whether there is any way to mount
a CD-ROM image made with mkisofs? I would like to be able
to check that the image included everything that I wanted.
Thanks
AJ

Let's see -
Four posts, all excessively long, all asking the same question, the
answer to which could be found if the poster would bother to read the
documentation provided with his operating system and topped off by
posting in HTML. Hmmm - Does "get a clue" apply here?

Install the XFree86-100dpi package and it should fix your Netscape
Communicator problems. Solution has been posted in newsgroups several
times.
