Date: 13 Aug 1999 13:27:56 GMT
I've tried (about four times) to download and uncompress the Netscape
4.61 version for Linux 2.0. This is the one without strong encryption.
Each time, using either gzip or tar xzvf in Red Hat 5.0, kernel 2.0.32,,
I'm told there's an unexpected EOF and the process aborts.
Has anyone else successfully downloaded and used this file?

BSD and derivate versions of Unix (such as SunOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
OpenBSD and NeXTstep) use a filesystem called UFS. Some System V
Unixes can create and mount hard disk partitions and diskettes using
this filesystem as well. Saying Y here will allow you to read from
these partitions; if you also want to write to them, say Y to the
experimental "UFS filesystem write support", below. Please read the
file Documentation/filesystems/ufs.txt for more information.

I guess what this all boils down to is that you'll probably be able to
set things up to read and write files via Linux to your UFS drive or
previously installed partition, but, you won't be able to create a one
via Linux.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is the guy who maintains the code in the kernel
for UFS support. He may well know some work-around (or perhaps even be
interested in helping to organise some solution if there isn't one
already).
Personally, I reckon you should just go with MINIX or some other file
system that your UNIX and Linux have in common ;). Best of luck.

What version of gunzip or tar are you using?
shell$ gunzip netscape.tar.gz | tar xvf -
should do it.
Are you sure the file hasn't been munged by the ftp process (shouldn't have)?
Try downloading the file again or getting the latest gzip or tar from

(From what I understand, most commercial unices are already microkernel
based, which is probably one of the reasons why AIX, Solaris, et. al.
scale so much better than Linux does to more processors, and can
handle many more processors than Linux could even dream of handling at
the moment.)
So, I could certainly see a future where people with
highly-SMP boxen will be running something microkernel-based like Hurd
while people who have more modest or machines will be running something
monolithic like Linux.

Why because Microsoft is the big bad corporate giant with billions to burn?
The only thing they have to burn is the horseshit operating systems and
software they have been foisting upon the world since 1975. I'd prefer to go
along through life acting like Microsoft doesn't exist, but I have to support
their trashy software at my job. Look, I hate it that places like ZDnet ,
etc. with their poorly written, corporate profit-driven drivel mags always
talk about the next big thing in Linux with all the excitement of a high
school cheerleader. I hate it even more because it gets the dander up of
buffoons like you, who then post trolls to newsgroups. I remember when I was
16 and started using USENET; I did the same thing. Now I wish I hadn't
because I contributed to the flame wars caused by such obvious trolls. Of
course you could accuse me of it now, but what I am doing here is not
instigating, but advocating.

They will more like lose their billions to an economic failure or to the

well, I bought Applixware in 96 and have used it ever since for my work
and don't have any complaints. Doesn't look as colorful and fancy as the
new M$/Star Office but certainly does the job and is much lighter memory
wise. As for imports/exports, they only work up to some degree (although I
was really amazed the other day to see that Staroffice even imports M$
equations). In the end, it's always a bad idea to let yourself be locked
in by some proprietary format (be it .doc, .aw, or .wp) but it's a bit
cumbersome to write every little thing using tex.

Well, it's set up not to let you because it's a bad idea if your computer
is on a network, as it makes it much more vulnerable.
However, if you're *sure* you want to do it, edit /etc/securetty and put
in entries ttyp0 ttyp1 ttyp2 etc.

I'm planing on getting a Ham Radio of which then I can work on obtaining
my license. Eventually I want to connect the radio to my Linux computer
system and use it to communicate via packet. I have no real specific
reason to do any of this other than I want to experiment and learn new
things. Anyway, what I want is to buy a Ham Radio that will get good
reception/signal pretty much around the world without too much
distortion (if any), but without too much power as I live in an
apartment and don't want to cause interference with neighbors. I also
need an interface card/device that has good support with Linux to
connect to the Ham for packet communications. Please give me your
opinion(s) on what hardware/radio equipment works best for you and why?
I, just like any other prude shopper, want to get the 'real' idea of
what I'm getting. Thank You for your input.

If its the usual panic message, it refers to not being able to
find the root partition in the expected location. Check your
/etc/lilo.conf and look at the root=... entry. See if this
is your root partition. You will of course have to be able to
boot linux, presumably from a floppy to do this. Also, the
error message will specify which device it was looking at
as something like 3:01. The first number is the major device
number and the second is the minor. If you look at the listings
in /dev, you will see two numbers which are the same numbers,
so you can identify which partition it expect root at.
After you fix /etc/lilo.conf, don't forget to run lilo again.

Sixth Issue of the "Brave GNU World", the
monthly GNU forum, is online now
-- Georg Greve
Hi !
The sixth issue of the "Brave GNU World" column is online
now. It can be found on the GNU Webpage and its mirrors
or follow the links at the end of this posting.
The "Brave GNU World" is a multilingual (English, German, French,
Japanese and Spanish) monthly column that provides information about
internal developments of the GNU Project and things of importance to
the GNU community, while trying to give insights into the underlying
philosophy. It is available online (see links below) or printed in
Germany�s biggest GNU/Linux magazine, the "Linux Magazin".
If you would like to receive mail about new issues directly, you can
subscribe to the "Brave GNU World" announcement mailinglist. Just
send mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with "subscribe" in
the *body*. The mailinglist is only for announcements that are related
to the "Brave GNU World" and is of very low volume (between 1 and 4
mails a month).
The sixth issue covers the following topics:
* GNU and Java? (answering the question whether GNU Projects
can be written in Java)
* Ganymede (a free network directory management system)
* FreeNET (another approach at net organisation)
* FreeDOS (the concept may be old but it is still
alive - and free)
* GNU a2ps (more ways of formatting text into postscript)
* We run GNU (help building up a better GNU presence)
This column intends to provide a forum for all GNU maintainers,
friends and associates and I am always open to suggestions. So if
you
* have questions about the GNU Project that might be of general
interest
* have a GNU Project and would like to improve its profile
* would like to start a GNU Project you are looking for people to
start it with
* think something doesn't get the publicity it deserves
* would like to see something made public
send mail to:
"Brave GNU World <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
This column is for everyone with an interest in Free Software,
so don�t hesitate to contact me if your project is under the
GPL/LGPL and you�d like to see it introduced here.

The problem was on the NT system, because the Linux-system was not updated.

You can use MailMan. I think you can get it at http://www.cgi-resources.com.
Don't use any other Perl scripts there as they are often insecure. Also look

think. probably makes sense to make it unset?

But if I am not mistaken, it is not covered by the Gnu Public
License, so some of us might object to using it for that reason.
I guess that it is a trifle silly since we are using Windows!

Well I'm 33, my first computer was a ZX81 with the 16Mb RAM pack. I
didn't have an assembler, I used to hand assemble the code and for
some sad reason I can still remember so of the hex op codes.
ld hl (400c) 3a 0c 40 ; get screen start addres
ret c9 ; return
Does anyone have a Z-80 op code manual available to confirm the above?

on local host:
define loghost in /etc/hosts:

modify /etc/syslog.conf like:
mail.info ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/maillog, @loghost)
on remote host:
syslogd -r
This should make it ... :-)
