Mr. Kulisz ( may I call you Dick? ), in a few post ago you said:
"So it was "practical" to escalate the genocide in the former Yugoslavia?"
Since you brought up the subject, I would like to get your views on it.
At the time NATO ( which is made up of more countries than just the US ) started
getting involved in Yugoslavia, there were many protest in the US. Many US citizens
did not think the US should get involved in other countries internal matters. How
many ( non evil imperial countries ) allow this kind of FREEDOM of it's own citizens
to criticize their own governments actions?
On the other side of the argument, many people were saying that if we did nothing,
we would have let genocide happen in another country, and that it would be no
different than watching a woman get raped on the street and do nothing about it.
So, the question I put to you: If you had the power to stop genocide in another
country, should you use it? Please give a clear and decisive answer and explain
why you would or would not. I think this is a far request to someone that is
quite vocal about the US's decisions.
One other comment, what do you think of the other countries that are part of
NATO? Are as bad or worst than the US? PLEASE don't try to use the line that
they had no other choice but to go along with the US. Every news source that
I heard said that the US was dragging its feet on getting involved, and that the
other NATO countries wanted to take action. If you have information to the
contrary, please post your source.
I look forward to reading your reply.

Subject: Help, RPM installation problem
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 17:01:26 GMT
I have OpenLinux 2.2 and I'm trying to install the RealPlayer RPM by
using kpackage. It says I have an unresolved dependency:
libstdc++.so.2.8. I looked around in my directories and I found
libstdc++.so.27 so I looked for help at the Caldera support page and all
I found was libstdc++.so.2.9. I installed it but it did not solve my
RPM problem. I even created a link called libstdc++.so.2.8 that pointed
to 2.9 but no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions or could point me
to a place were I can find 2.8?
Thanks in advance,

Hackers are those who wants to find out all the guts and inner working
details of programming.
Crackers are those who break into system and do malicious things.

Emacs's PSGML mode actually does that: C-c RET (if I remember well --
I usually type C-c C-m because I prefer C-m to RET) does the </p><p>
thing for you. It is also context-aware, so it will do it with other
tags too, and if you do it twice, it will do something which will make
you say "wow, I really needed that".

PSGML mode is different from the SGML mode that ships with emacs. I'm
not sure how to resolve the confusion there, but use PSGML: it is
DTD-aware and quite cool.
Strangely enough, a lot of DocBook authors use vi rather than an
SGML-aware editor.

Look in /etc/inittab for a line that begins mo: and check the command
that is at the end of that line. For some reason this command is failing.
Either fix the problem or comment out the line by inserting a # at the
beginning of the line.

My numlock key is set by default to be on at boot in the bios (as well

OSes on the system.

It shows the number of hard links to a file. For regular files, this
is usually one. For directories, this is at least 2. (One is the
name of the directory, the other is the subdirectory . in that
directory, which is as you know an alias for that directory). For a
directory with subdirectories, the number is 2 + (number of subdirectories).
This is because each of the subdirectories has the .. alias for the parent
directory, which is a hard link. for more information : man ln .
hope you can understand my somewhat rambling explanation.

Is it feasible that the problem is in reverse host lookup? I know telnetd
checks that the host that is telnetting to it is valid before going ahead
with the connection; it's possible that rcp does the same. If so,
possibly your DNS is going wrong...

Try XRPM, my favorite package manager. I don't know if it's been updated

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I'm new in Linux and therefore also in Arkeia. Is it ok, if I make
questions about arkeia in this NG? If not, answer me, so I'll know it in
the future.
Here's my question concerning arkeia:
I've just created a periodic backup job. Just made as it was described
in the doc. Level 1: monthly, Level 2: weekly and Level 3: daily.
Monthly backup is to be done on the 1. of the month, weekly is to be
done every friday, and daily is to be done mondays to thursdays. As the
weekly backup has a higher priority than the daily one, fridays will
never be backuped on a daily tape. But what happens on saturdays and
sundays ? How can I exclude these days from beeing backuped ? The Daily
pool (daily backup level is assigned to this pool) contains only 4
tapes. Does Arkeia want to overwrite my monday tape next saturday ?
Questions and questions but no answers in the docs, faqs, NGs found...
A quick help would be fine as the next saturday is coming soon (today is
wednesday)...
Bye,
Jorge Schramm

I have haven't had a problem with RedHat. I have tried S.U.S.E 6.0 and
lesser and had it always crash on me.
Personally I don't care who the distro. is as long as it installs and works.
So far RedHat has not given me any problems. I will be trying Caldera soon.
I haven't read any replies to the Linux loses to NT. I will comment on it
anyway.
1. The tests were sponsored by Microsoft and done on Microsoft's campus.
2. In real world situations Linux does out perform NT.

Don't. Move *back* to 2.2.7. 2.2.{8,9,10} kernels ate some user's
filesystems. Alan Cox is bug-hunting in the woods and before he comes
back out, you want to make sure (see current issue of LWN
(http://lwn.net/) that your hardware is out of danger.

use top; don't use dev kernels (2.3.{7,8} is even worse).

Subject: A problem with Samba
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 16:28:35 +0200
Hello:
Somebody can solve me this problem?:
1- I have been installed the RedHat 6.0. I have an HP 670C printer
configured like an HP 560C and works well in Linux. The problem appears
when I want to share to print in other computer since Win95. I have
installed Samba 2.0.3, and I see the printer since the computer Win95. I
configure the printer with the driver of the HP 560C that has Win95. The
proble is that when I try to print a page win gives me an error:
A problem occurrs when print in \\PC2\HP_LINUX with the printer
(HP_DESKJET 560C PRINTER)
A problem occurrs when print because an unknown error of the system.
I try to configure the queue with the RAW option, but I have the same
problem. What can I do?
My /etc/printcap is the following:
#
# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are
doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict
format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.
#
# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.
