A 386 would be fun for that.  With typical distributions, you might need
as much as 8 megs on board, but with some trickery, you can shoehorn
Slackware on there with only 4 megs RAM and as small as 40 megs disk.

You might want to have lots of disk then, and possibly look for the
compressed ext2 filesystem as well -- logs compress real well.

Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 12:15:45 -04-59

I am evaluating mutt with an eye toward switching to it from pine.  I
like some of the features like scoring.  I also like the fact that
most commands can be carried out by hitting one key.  Both of these
features make it very much like slrn (for news reading).  Very
functional.

Unfortunately, when I send mail, its getting sent back with the
message "Sender must exist".  The From: header is correct
(i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]).  However, the Sender: is apparently
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've never had this problem with the half-dozen or so mailers I've
tried in the past.  Is there a good way to solve this?  I'd rather not
have to edit the sendmail.cf unless absolutely necessary.

I am using a standard Red Hat 6.0 install with DHCP.  The server
assigns both an IP number and a host name to go with it.

By the way, I don't consider myself a novice at editing rcfiles, but I
don't think I've ever seen a program that needs a configuration/setup
screen more than this one.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It seems that your index.html is sent over with the MIME type text/plain
instead of text/html. I remember seeing this when the filename was index.htm and
the configuration file was not set up to use text/html for .htm files.
Netscape's behavior in this case would actually be correct, IE apparently looks at
the content and decides it is html. In addition, IE usually uses HTTP 1.1, while
Netscape uses 1.0.
There is a way to test this, with telnet:
telnet to port 80 on your server, and then type:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: hostname of your server

Don't forget an additional empty line at the end.

Now, if this turns out to be the problem, how to fix it? Probably somewhere in
the Apache configuration. But where, I have no idea.

You are confused.  For a constant angular velocity (RPM), the outer
tracks have a higher linear velocity (are faster) than the inner tracks.

If you don't believe this, find an old phonograph (maybe your
grandparents have one) and experiment with small objects on the driving
surface.  Or use a bicycle wheel and mark 1cm (1/2") marks on the hub
and the rim.

Most modern hard drives make the most use of the platter by using
uniform bit density (zoned bit recording).  CDs are (were) constant
linear velocity drives, so have uniform spacing and higher data rates on
the outer section when driven at constant angular velocity as they are
now (on computers).

I suspect that this has more to do with technology than Military power. 
Even the British, French and (earlier) Roman/Greek empires didn't acheive 
any effective centraliation, due to technological limitations of their era.

yes, but one could argue that there is not *more* government as a result of the
absence of weapon proliferation. Again, we are stuck with an (isolated)
correlation and no clear conclusion about causality, in that when a society is
in a state of anarchy, there is a more obvious need to own weapons, since the
law enforcement agencies are ineffective ( or nonexistant )

I've been casually looking for something like this for some time, with no
luck.  I did recently run across the following in the smbmount man page:

: To mount an smb file system, I suggest using the option -c
: for smbmount to pass the mount command. For example, use

: smbmount "\\server\tmp" -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'

: to  mount  the  tmp  share  of server on /mnt

This did work for me.  I've not yet tried to combine this with user
permissions in the /etc/fstab file to see if this might allow normal users
to do it.  Perhaps a suid root script could do it, though....

Previously I had no problem with the modem using network manager
or kppp to connect to internet.

Now that I upgraded to RH6.0 (from 5.2) I cant get connectet at correct
speed.

I have always had the speed set to 57000 bps, and the modem still
connected in 33600 bps. Now after the upgrate the modem connection is
terrible slow, about 200bytes/sec.

Can it be that the new kernel have a problem with my microcom deskporte
S modem, or are all modems treated the same way ?

Has anyone had this problem, and know of a solution ?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have Samba working fine and can mount drives on my 9x/NT boxes from
Linux using smbmount.  However, it would be nice if it could be done
using ordinary 'mount', using the normal mount syntax - and,
eventually, to be done via entries in the /etc/fstab file.

Is this possible?

"man mount" says this on the subject:

Mount options for smbfs
       Just like nfs, the smb  implementation  expects  a  binary
       argument  (a  struct  smb_mount_data)  to the mount system
       call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and  the
       current  version  of  mount  (2.6c) does not know anything
       about smb.

.... which seems to say, "You're on your own in getting this to work".

I can do: smbmount //machine/service /mnt -U someuser -I machine
but when I do: mount -t smbfs //machine/service /mnt
it doesn't work.  The question is: How to pass those other args to
mount that smbmount needs?

Please help...

A colleague of mine wants to get a new computer with 128MB RAM and needs
to know if there is a problem for Linux to address more than 64M. I seem
to remember having read that it is necessary to recompile the kernel
after an appropriate change if one wants to run Linux with more 64M, but
I'm not sure and I didn't find a reference to the problem now.
Any comments? The colleague has one of the newest Red hat releases.

Subject: Debian advocates
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 14:20:39 -0400

I am currently using RedHat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) and now want to make
a switch to another distro. After comparing all the distros, it seems that
Debian fits the bill for me.

I'd like to get some more information from Debian users before I make
the switch :

(1) Is there a version of Debian that comes with a 2.2.x kernel ? The
Debian website says that 2.1 comes with the 2.0.36 kernel and I do
want to make the switch to a 2.2.x kernel.

(2) How easy is it with Debian to upgrade from the 2.0.36 kernel to
one of the 2.2.x kernels ? I have avoided so far trying to upgrade my
RH 5.2 kernel 2.0.36 to one of the 2.2.x ones because of horror stories
from other people about problems with glibc 2.1 and the new egcs.

(3) When is the next stable release of Debian going to be released ?

(4) What does Debian offer to the power user over a distro like say
RH ?

I would really like to hear people's positive and negative experiences with
Debian, and also arguments in favor of switching to Debian.

My system configuration is :

Celeron 300A (at 300MHz)
128 MB Ram
Quantum 10.2 UDMA HD
Creative Labs 36x CD-ROM
SoundBlaster PCI 128 sound card
Acer 56k internal ISA modem
Matrox Millenium G200 video card
ADI MicroScan 6P monitor

Will the hw mentioned above pose a problem for Debian ?

Thanks for any information.

The Korn shell implements this (somewhat less conveniently) if you have
command-line editing feature turned on, i.e. "set -o vi".  To 
do file-name completion, hit the <Esc> key, then the "\" key.

What's the first line of your perl script, and where's your perl

when it should be
#!/usr/bin/perl

Also, make sure you have the '#!' part right; it's easy to make

Wrong, 98's sole purpose on earth is to force IE4/5 upon every user possible.  
IE is the most important peice of software ms has right now.  The fact that MS 
was able to bloat 98 up some more to make people buy faster machines(typical

Once upon a time (19 Jun 1999 11:55:32 GMT), Vu N Dang was attempting to
figure out Ilya's new Perl regex features, and accidently sent the
following to comp.os.linux.misc: 
: [Sat Jun 19 07:31:24 1999] [error] [client 215.173.45.31] (2)No such
: file or directory: exec of /home/httpd/cgi-bin/setup.cgi failed
: [Sat Jun 19 07:31:24 1999] [error] [client 215.173.45.31] Premature
: end of script deaders: /home/httpd/cgi-bin/setup.cgi
: I already change the permission of all the .cgi to 755

Check the shebang line.

: Thank you very much in advance

HTH,
