There is a program out that will convert ttf fonts into the proper
format for StarOffice, as well as many other types. Look for a program
called ttfutils, I believe. If you go to the scf.usc.edu, you can find
the program there :)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I'm experiencing a weird slowdown on my laptop when it's only doing
display related work - ie no HDD access or keyboard interrupts. For
example if I run an application that does frequent screen redraws in the
root window e.g. an xscreensaver module and leave the machine alone
updates are slow. When I hold down a key or move the mouse the redraws
speed up.
Is this power saving kicking in? I did compile in support.
I was thinking that the machine is sticking on an interrupt or waiting
for an interrupt because of the way it behaves on moving the
mouse/hitting a key?
Here's my spec:
Hardware: Sony 505 TX Laptop
Distribution: Debian Potato
Kernel: 2.2.9
Any help would be great.

You have to tell smbmount what directory and file permissions
to assign:
-f file mode, -d dir mode
Like -u and -g, these options are also used to bridge
differences in concepts between Lan Manager and unix.
Lan Manager does not know anything about file permis-
sions. So smbmount has to be told which permissions it
should assign to the mounted files and direcories. The
values have to be given as octal numbers. The default
values are taken from the current umask, where the file
mode is the current umask, and the dir mode adds exe-
cute permissions where the file mode gives read permis-
sions.
Note that these permissions can differ from the rights
the server gives to us. If you do not have write per-
missions on the server, you can very well choose a file
mode that tells that you have. This certainly cannot
override the restrictions imposed by the server.

Subject: (Newbie) Problem in mounting a DOS partition
Hello,
I have just started playing with Linux (Red Hat 5.0) and I'm having
problems in mounting a FAT16 partition.
I have the following drives/partitions (all IDE):
Drive I (master)
partition 1 (FAT16)
partition 2 (NTFS) WinNT
partition 3 (FAT16)
Drive II (slave)
partition 1 (FAT32) Win98
partition 2 (EXT2?) Linux
I could mount the I1 partition using /dev/hda1 but can't mount the I3
(which is the one I really need). I've tried almost all the /dev/hdaXX
combinations without success...
I also can't understand why my II2 partition is mapped to /dev/hdb5
(shouldn't it be hdb2?)
I bet it's really easy, can anyone please help me?
Cheers
Daniel

The customer does not ask for a specific os.
Generally you have to build the solution, not to sell os.
When you have to repair your tv-set, normally, you want the job
done, or do you ask for a specific brand replacements ?

GRAP(1) GRAP(1)
NAME
grap - pic preprocessor for drawing graphs
SYNOPSIS grap [-Ttty_type ] [ - ] [ -- ]
OPTIONS
-T specifies tty_type as grap's output device. Currently
supported
devices are aps (Autologic APS-5) and di10 (Imagen Imprint 10).
-Taps is default.
-l Stops grap from looking for a library file of macro
defines,
/usr/lib/dwb/grap.defines.
DESCRIPTION
grap is a language for typesetting graphs. It is also the name
of the
preprocessor that feeds input to pic(1). Thus, a typical
command line
would appear as follows:
grap file(s) | pic | troff | typesetter
Graphs are surrounded by the troff "commands" .G1 and .G2. Data
that is
enclosed is scaled and plotted, with tick marks supplied
automatically.
Command exist to modify the frame, add labels, override the
default
ticks, change the plotting style, define coordinate ranges and
transformations, and include data from files. In addition,
grap provides
the same loops, conditionals and macro processing that pic does.
FILES
/usr/lib/dwb/grap.defines: definitions fo standard plotting
characters,
e.g. bullet.
SEE ALSO
pic(1).

With that much traffic in such a short time, it's very possible you're
running up against buffering problems. I can't recall offhand how to
check for this under Linux [all the boxes I can reach at the moment are
*BSD], but what you want to look for is something that tells you how
many sk_buff structures are in use. `netsta -m` tells you this in
FreeBSD [well, actually it tells you about mbuf clusters, the *BSD
equivalent], but if I recall correctly Linux uses a different netstat.
If you are exhausting your memory buffers, be happy that the machine is
just slowing down... *BSD boxes have the annoying habit of rebooting
when they run out of mbufs [though, to be fair, the mbuf code is much
faster, so it's a tradeoff either way :)]. Adding more RAM or
reconfiguring your kernel to make more memory available for sk_buffs may
do the trick.

What's "COL 1.3"?
Column Oriented Lister?

Or some Microsoft-specific thing?
Caldera Open Linux, perhaps?

NEVER let a Linux distribution run lilo for you. Most of them will
make an irreversible mess when faced with anything but the most
basic setup. NEVER let a Linux distribution install LILO on the
MBR if you have NT. Use Microsoft's boot.ini instead.
>At this point all I want to do is get my NT MBR back.
Look in the NT documentation and find its equivalent of
the old MS-DOS' FDISK /MBR command.
Boot Linux from a floppy until it annoys you enough to
read the lilo.conf manpage and set up LILO on your
Linux partitions.

As is explained in the Lilo User Guide, you have a geometry mismatch
between how your drive is set up in BIOS and how your
lilo.conf described it. If "COL 1.3" is Caldera Open Linux,
complain to Caldera.

Why emulate scsi then? AFAIK you don't gain anything by doing so unless

I wish it were that simple. The thing bombed out during an unattended
overnight network backup that involved rsh and tar. While there must
have been quite a bit of I/O (network, disk) going on, it was mostly
read activity. The HD continues to work fine after that crash, so it
does not look like I can blame it on the hardware. Surely, others would
have seen similar file system corruption that did not involve bad
hardware. I have seen similar reports of wierdness with corrupted inodes
and funny permissions/modes on Dejanews, and it looks like there is no
simple fix. Is low-level ext2fs hacking (debugfs) the only way to clean
up that sort of mess?

It could be either or neither. Any application (including screen
savers) has the ability to leak memory and crash the entire computer,
or install bad DLLs.
However, that said, reliable installations do exist.

Indeed this is true. You need to look past the initial cost difference of
free OS, web, and mail services and look at the ongoing costs. In that NT
looks even more expensive.
I can maintain all of my sparc servers from my freebsd desktop. I need to
walk when I want to talk with others, or if I need to do hardware work. I
can do most of my work from home if necessary. This is the advantage of a
multitasking system that is built around the command line. I can even
remotely run X apps. I also can maintain servers at other company sites,
rarely needing to visit them. And this applies to desktop machines as
well. A user can call me on the phone, and I can log in and watch the
problem with them.
Some of this functionality is coming along for Win / NT administration,
but it's not in the same ballpark.

What service pack and which version of NT are you running?? I can't get NT
to run anywhere near a week without a reset.

True, but you may benefit by some travel in foreign parts -- or, at
least learn an European language other than English. The standard
way to pronounce "i" is like the "i" in the the (English) word
"in". Unfortunately, English allows another way to pronounce it:
as in the word "idea". Hence the difference.
And let us not even get into the travesty of the English "a".
When you combine *that* mess with the mess in "i", you get the
exceedingly funny ways in which "Iran" and "Iraq" are pronounced.

A rpm package for Vine Linux is already released.
But I doubt if this binary can run on RHL6.0.
It may be okay if you rebuild from src.rpm.

The fact that it hasn't crashed on *your hardware* and *your software*
doesn't make it reliable. For example, if installing tetris on it makes
it crash randomly, then it is not reliable. It's not good enough to
only be "reliable" under special circumstances.
