Best part: Richard Kulisz want to buy a house and have some mutual bonds. I think
this is everything what a Marxist shouldn't have. Personally I couldn't care less.
But how can a real Marxist say this.
Hipocrite did you say..

If he really is a Marxist he should be put into a museum. He might be the last one
around. One of my friends asked me if this kind still existed.

When you start up the machine press the ALT key or make sure
CAPS LOCK is on. Lilo will stop then and show a ...
boot:
... prompt. Just press TAB, then you'll get a list of bootable
kernels (if there is more than one). Now you can do this ...
boot: /boot/mykernel 2 or /boot/mykernel 3 
... and that's it. In /etc/inittab there is an entry labeled
initdefault ...
id:2:initdefault:
... and this one is for the default runlevel. Here it is 2 ... okay,
you guessed that, right ;-) ... but 3 is often used too. 2 is the
common multiuser mode and 3 for the one with network services
and stuff enabled.

Cheers,
Juergen

not always - I'm not always in a place where I can update an M$ system by
downloading TeraTerm (it's not always "my" machine, it doesn't always have
diskspace available - and not always have a connection to download).

so it sort of helps to know how to use the tools you have:

        setenv TERM vt100
        stty -rows 25 -columns 80

is a lot faster than downloading TeraTerm.

Heya.. I'm running RH6.0 with all the latest upgrades.. I like to monitor
the /var/log/messages periodically, to see what's up.. but unfortunately I
get a lot of spam, which I still want to see, but not have to page through

Is there some way I can make a certain daemon log to it's own file(named

What kind of error are you getting when you try to start X?  Does it give
you a message, or start working then put you back at the command prompt?
You might want to check to make sure that everyone has execute permissions
for startx, which is probably in your /usr/X11R6/bin directory.

That's exactly what /etc/syslog.conf is for...
Take a look...you've probably already got different daemons logging in
different files.
You can also set the "level" at which particular daemons log (debug,
err, crit, etc...).

"man syslog.conf" explains all!

Many Linux packages come with a command line utility package called
lrrzsz.  It can perform zmodem transfers over TCP/IP.  It doesn't
matter whether the transport layer is PPP, ethernet, or something else.
The sz program sends, and rz receives.
This is normally not useful, however, because the remote host won't
know at what socket to talk to you.   You'll have to write some
kind of script to tie the two programs together.  Which is why you're
being advised to use more popular file transfer protocols.

I believe there is a telnet that allows zmodem transfers.. check out
rpmfind.net and look there.. do a search for zmodem or something :)
PPP has nothing to do with it..

Hope this helps,

Ok, sorry, I didn't read the subject line carefully.  Since you've read
through the man page for xauth and mkxauth, I assume you've also taken a
look to see if your personal .Xauthority file in your home directory is
corrupted.  You could try deleting that file and making a new one.  It
seems unlikely, however, that all of the users have .Xauthority problems.
My other message was wrong, of course (you'd get a "permission denied" if
you didn't have execute permission for startx), but you may want to check
the permissions on some of the other X related files that are needed for
starting up the X server, such as xdm or, for that matter, .Xauthority.

Or use anacron instead of cron. It detects that your machine
missed a cron job and will run in on boot up (after 5minute

I have had success with the inexpensive Creative Blaster CD-RW. 
Silly name, but it works fine with cdrecord.

Using SCSI won't affect transfer speed per se, and one shouldn't be
doing anything too demanding on the disk I/O bus while burning a CD,
so IMO, no, SCSI wouldn't be an advantage.

I guess the answer depends on your distro.  I believe that RH 6.0 
detects your processor type and loads an optimized kernel.  RH 5.2
loads a 386 level kernel so you'd be ok.  If you have RH 6.0 you 
could upgrade to one of the other kernel(and modules)levels and 
(there's four AFAIK) you should be fine.

I don't know about WinNT, but the telnet client for Win95 does not
support vt102. Only vt52 and vt100/ansi. However, don't use ansi on
Linux, as I believe MS combines vt100 and ansi into one term and it
doesn't funtion well. Force your term into vt100. It works 100% so far
as I have seen. You can use this script, but it's not general enough
to be 100% reliable.
