Unfortunately there is huge difference: the modem mentionned at this
URL is the ISA 56i-Sp. It's not a Winmodem (just Plug'n pray).
On the other hand the PCI 56i V PRO is a pile of s^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
Winmodem, hence completely useless under our favourite OS.

Hi,
I just sent out a message for library problems. I later found that the
cause of problem was that I had deleted the linux source including all
headers. Problem disappeared when I restored linux source.

Not quite obsolete. The module loader would use the /proc/ksyms, or
rather get the symbols from the kernel using a system call. You
do have more symbols listed in System.map, though.
ps still uses it. Confirm this by doing:
strace ps axl
It is used to put in symbolic names in the WCHAN column. If you have

is the sysmbols might be missing or wrong in the ps axl listing,

I tried that a while ago ( the symlinking) and in the first place it worked,
but you can't add any new bookmarks under LinuX even if the mount options
for the Windoze partition are set to writable. Another problem was that
after adding some new bookmarks under Windoze they didn't show up in the
symlinked LinuX bookmarks.
So I turned back again to copying the bookmarks from one partition (system)
to the other.

Afraid not. The lilo command needs help from the kernel to get the
absolute disk addresses of every block in the boot images, that is,
vmlinuz, and maybe the initrd file. You could probably make a dos
program that could do this, but it needs to know everything about the
linux file systems to do this.

No. The "static" version of Netscape is merely statically linked against
Motif (libXm), so you don't need the Motif run-time libraries on your
system. It's linked dynamically against libc, libstdc++ and others.

Use fdisk under linux to find out what the partition table looks like.
fdisk /dev/hda
press p to print the partition table - you should find the /dev/hdaxx
value you require. Press q to quit ;-)
Do the same with hdb and you will find (I guess) that you have an
extended partition hence the skipping in numbering.

None of that makes any sense at all.
Simple fact is that for any given typical usage, the less RAM
there is the more swap needed. The crucial number is how much
total virtual memory is needed, not some ratio of RAM to swap.
Added together, RAM+swap, equals the total virtual memory. The
only difference is that RAM is fast while swap is slow, plus RAM
costs more and can be used for other things.
If the typical usage causes more virtual memory to be used than
there is RAM, the system will slow down to a snail's pace for
every process using swap. Hence it is definitely good to have
more RAM than is normally used. (It is also nice because the
kernel finds ways to do other things with it if no process needs
it, which generally speeds up the system.)
My favorite rule of thumb for RAM is to figure out how much
money one can afford to spend on RAM, and spend it. (Remember
when 8 Mb of RAM costs $200+? Well today you can have 256Mb of
expensive ECC RAM for that price!) That makes 64Mb a realistic
minimum, 128Mb easy, and 256 or 512Mb reasonable. (Which I
admit is a mind boggling amount of RAM to anyone who has been
for awhile.)
The amount of swap space needed is determined by the absolute
maximum virtual memory usage which should not cause a crash. If
that happens, by accident, to be twice the amount of RAM, then
it makes sense to have the same amount of swap as RAM. If it
might use three times as much memory as there is RAM, then the
swap space should be twice the amount of RAM. Except for
special cases (a laptop maybe) it makes no sense not to have any
swap. It also makes no sense at all to be sparing with swap
space, because disk is *cheap*. For $50-100 a completely
separate disk can be bought that will provide 500-1000Mb of swap
space!
Why would anyone not allocate two or three times whatever amount
they can imagine ever using! I mean, if home machine has 512Mb
of RAM it is gonna be a rare day that it actually needs swap,
but then again 300-500Mb is disk space cost almost nothing, so
why not have it just to be safe. Of couse the less RAM (say
64Mb) the more likely that 300Mb of swap may actually be used
too. It just doesn't make sense with todays RAM and disk prices
not to have at least 400-500Mb of virtual memory, or more.

I'm running RedHat 6.0 on a Sparc with the XFree86-3.3.3.1-52 package
installed. I'm running a local xdm on that machine and start the server
with -indirect localhost. It seems to work fine, with the chooser
appearing and listing all the hosts in the LAN responding to its
broadcast. However, if I select any host but the local Sparc itself to log
in the connection fails, making the X server start over and giving me the
chooser again. This happens with all sorts of different target machines.
Logging into the local machine is the only chooser entry that succeeds.
When I use a different host to create the chooser (instead of localhost)
everything works fine.
Could it be an XF86 incompatibility (little-/big-endian issue)?

No. Undocumented programs are not per se acceptable, but unfinished,
and since Linux is still very much actively being worked at,
unfinished programs do not necessarily result in the authors being
shot.
You'll notice, however, that proper GNU programs are documented,
though sometimes with texinfo (which you do not like). It may be
noted that in the last one or two years there were some changes to the
standalone info reader that have made it suck less (for example,
support of cursor keys, surprise, surprise). But the best info reader
probably remains Emacs.

Apart from that, lynx have a -traverse option that can go in and check
all the internal hrefs and report on which ones are invalid; as a side
effect of what -traverse was intended to do. It will also show
