I believe that on the original IBM PC/AT, the SysRq key would generate
interrupt 0x14. Which would immediately return.
I believe the feature was there for the exclusive use of IBM's
proprietary synchronous-serial-line-cum-pagemode-terminal-emulator
extension card, but I wouldn't swear about it.

How long did you wait. There are many thousands of newsgroups and the
download can be very long, especially if you connection is at low speed.

Hi,
I have icecast-1.0.0 I installed it, compiled it according to the README
files
and was able to run the server program. My problem is getting the streamer
to
work.
I use shout. I made a list (in the iceplay directory) by doing the following
find /root/mp3 > playlist
then I run shout by doing the following:
./shout myservername -P letmein -p -x -p ./playlist
Then it starts streaming (i think), but the server says:
"directory_touch() failed...directory server error#0...
any ideas?
Please post only
Thanks

It also depends whether you want Windows or Linux to be the Primary OS...
I use Windows with a menu from which I can go to where I want.
You need to modify MSDOS.SYS as follows...

make sure that your DOS disk C: is readable from Linux and copy
/boot/init......img to C:\LINUX\INITRD.IMG and /boot/vmlinuz.??;??.?? to
C:\LINUX\VMLINUZ.
In your Config.sys file you can set the menudefault to where ever you want eg
(in my case) it could be
menudefault=LINUX,20 (Win95/98 will goto LINUX in 20 seconds unless you choose
another option!)

There's another place where soft (symbolic) links behave quite differently
from hard links. Suppose filename X is hard linked to file /Y/Z. If you
mount a new filesystem on top of Y, then the old /Y/Z becomes invisible, but X
still refers to the old file.
Now if X is symbolically linked to /Y/Z and you mount a new filesystem on top
of Y, X refers to the file named Z IN THE NEW FILESYSTEM, not the old one. In
this way, you can have a filename that (usefully) refers to different physical
files depending on what filesystems are mounted on the directory tree.

Oh wow!! YES, let's save another extra 30kb!! We might be really
needing it!!
If RAM occupation is really your problem, please buy some extra of
it. 30Kb is practically nothing these days. You really should try to
use a machine with more than 4Mb of RAM.

Most tapedrives will rewind the tape if the module is unloaded. You
probably don't want that because the next write will be done over the
beginneing of the tape.

We can work collectively to force redistribution of wealth from
the rich to the poor. Socialists can also work collectively to
wrest political and economic power away from the rich, though
this might take decades. The problem is that the mass media, and
right-wing idiots, encourage everyone to work *individually*;
but that can achieve nothing. Before you can work collectively,
you have to convince the collective to do so, and powerful forces
are put to bear to prevent this.

Subject: [help] how to put crypt string into db or dbm for apache?
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 07:30:04 GMT
hi:
Please reply by my email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am testing with the Apache's AuthDBUserFile entry and I have used the
examples in
www.sleepycat.com to compiled a very simple exec to input key and data
into the db file I called test.db The key is fruit and the data is
apple (as the example) I ran the program and it checked the entry and
retrieved me the apple so I assume that the db file is working fine.
However, when I try to hook up the db file using .htaccess
AuthName "Apache Test"
AuthType Basic
AuthDBUserFile /test/db/test.db
require valid-user
and run the test on the apache. I can never get the page to authorize
me. I then check back and see that the password should infact be
crypted as I see in the file I created by using htpasswd.
Is there anyway to tell apache to not look for a crypted password? If
not then how can I change the data part of the db file into crypted? I
assume that in the db file, the key is the username and the data is the
password.
Please help, I am really stucked...

Dear Davidson or any RedHat 6.0 system programers:
So where is the source of string function , I.e. strtok_r()or printf() ? /*
exist .c code ?*/
you know Linux or even Unix kernel was writeen by C program, but I almost no see
(very few) file.c in Redhat 6.0, why?
and
how to get source code of
(g)libc.src.rpm?
hope to see you reply and help again
sincerely
eric
