Even here, root gets over-used. Most executables need not be installed
as
root. That's what the user 'bin' is for. Only those that have explicit
requirements to run with root priveledge (set uid, etc.) need be owned
by
root, just as long as the /bin directories are writable by bin and
the contents therein are executable by 'user-group-other'.
On 'bigger' systems it is common practice to create a seperate account
to
administrate each major package so one developer doesn't stomp on the
work of another.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I have an Acer-6206A CD-RW drive installed on my AMD K6-2 400MHz running
SuSE-6.1. I also upgraded my cdrecord to 1.8a24. I have been having
some bad luck in trying to burn an audio as well as an ISO9660 CD. I
have attached the error message output by the cdrecord when trying to
burn an audio CD. As can be seen from the output message, the cdrecord
software could detect the CD-RW drive as well as the CD-R media, but
barfed with "Input/output error" even in a dummy mode.
I am wondering if anyone can kindly help me in this matter. TIA.

I'm having problems with my netgear too with rh60. On initial
install, it can't resolve names. I've done everything that needs to
be done in netconf. Anyway, each time I do a clean install, I have to
poke around netconf a few times, do a couple reboots, then the friggin
thing would suddenly work. Weird. I'm going to try doing a clean
install using a 3com card I got with my DSL service see if i get the
same results. Both my machines have abit boards, bx6v2 & the bp6.
The netgear card works flawlessly in WinX though. I've also had that
problem you had when I compiled a 2.3 kernel. I was just playing with
it so i shelved it. :-)

Cyclone is configured by a single file /usr/local/lib/ircd/ircd.conf
An example conf for "standalone server" is supplied in the tarball, its easy
to modify. Thats the one I've used.

Uptime of 170 days or so until now..

Subject: Software for Postscript Graphics
Date: 26 Aug 1999 21:07:22 +0200
Hi,
I am looking for software that is able to deal with (huge, up to 4MB)
postscript graphics under Linux and arrange them interactively. I need
this for making a poster. Have worked with with LaTeX some times to do
this but this needs very much time and gives not satisfying results, I
am fed up with this (altough I like LaTeX a lot).
The graphics software which I know under Linux (xfig, TGif, mpost)
does not work interactively or don't has postscript format (gimp). I
want also some layout features like LaTeX but I think one can't get
all at once. I dont't think that CorelDraw would do it.
Perhaps this is also an idea for an entrepreneur who is looking for a
killer app for Linux....
Any hints welcome (the faster the better)

and it requires gcc 2.8.1 or better. I got gcc 2.95 from ftp.gnu.org, and
installed. the configure script with the glibc install recognizes that
it's 2.95, but refuses to continue and allow the compilation. Anyone had

There's a lot of truth to that. The great majority of the teen-aged
hobbyists who founded the PC industry had no idea how to program,
had never been exposed to anybody who knew how to program, and
basically recapitulated every stupid mistake that the professionals
had learned from bitter experience not to do.
Meanwhile, writing an emulator for an 8-bit chip, and then writing a
simple language interpreter to run on that emulator, is something
that most CS students can expect to be assigned as sophomores or
juniors. (In my case, it was a three-person, three-week project.)
It's not rocket science.

Subject: 3COM Ethernet Card Problem
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 07:19:37 -0400
Hello!
I would greatly appreciate any insights as to possible solutions to the
following problem: RedHat 6.0 installation would not recognize the EtherLink
ethernet card [model - 3C905C or "TORNADO" according to Vertex
classification] on my DELL PC even though the card's model appears to be
supported under the VERTEX family name. It seems that the module I should
use for this card is 3c59x.o which should detect io and irq automatically.
Nevertheless, it does not seem to work: 1) the RedHat 6.0 setup would not
find the ethernet card once I request it to use 3c59x.o module; 2) once
trying to load the module [install the ethernet card] from within LINUX I
also fail. Should I provide any options for this type of a card? What should
those be?
Meanwhile - Windows 98 do recognize this card and the card is fully
functional in W98. The details provided by Windows 98 regarding my ethernet
card are as follows:
EtherLink 10/100 PCI - (3C905C-TX)
Interrupt level: 11
I/O base: 1400
Slot number: 1400
Boot ROM: disabled
Performance optimized for: Normal
Data Rate: 10/100 Mbps support
Media connector: Auto Select
Device ID 9200
I/O Port Range 1400h-147h
Interrupt Request Level: 11
Thank you very much in advance!

You may have a log on problem. In your log in set 'chat -v ' and see
what /var/log/messages tells you.
You may not have the fifo set up correctly. Check the instructions very
carefully.
Where your Win95 is concerned: make sure your ip forwarding is turned
on. Make sure your Win95 workstation has it's dns entries set up correctly
(they should probably be the same as what your Linux Networking is set to.
I run diald on RH6.0. And I used to have two Win95 workstations
connected (before they converted to Linux). It does work, and well, keep
reading and experimenting...

You've got the source to GCC -- perhaps you might like to add it.
BTW, has anyone read Stroustrup's paper where he suggests overloading
the whitespace operator? It's quite an elegant idea, for example
mathematicians would be able to write:
v = a x + b y + c z;
instead of the usual:
v = a * x + b * y + c * z;

What version of XFree86 are you running ?
3.3.2 comes with RedHat 6.0.
3.3.3 is available from their ftp site 6.0/updates
Installing 3.3.3 cures some X lock-up problems on a friend of mine's
system.
