If you want a quick, small CUA-like editor with syntax highlighting,
kwrite is one of the bests you can get.

Ask emacs developers.
I noticed you managed to dismiss my argument without doing what I
suggested you to try, and thus presumably not knowing what would
hapen if you did. Amazing feat of rethoric.

Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 14:51:23 GMT
Intermittently I'm having to restart the lpd. Problem seems to happen during
heavier work load. I have about 8 network printers all of which works most of
the time.
I'm currently on RH 6.0, but had same problem with RH 5.1. I have considered
going to a replacement product like LPPLUS, but wish I could just get the
normal LPD to be as reliable as the OS is.
Any Ideas?

It's ambiguous, but not an oxymoron. What I'm sure the poster meant is,

Subject: Netscape font rendition: Linux vs Windows
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 16:45:28 GMT
I am developing a large web site on plane geometry. I know I'm being
baaad, but I have designed the constituent pages to fit optimally in
a window which is about 800 pixels wide.
I do the development on a laptop running Linux/Netscape, with an 800x600
screen. My original goal was that everything would look perfect on the
laptop. Then I discovered that when viewed under Windows/Netscape,
or Windows/I.E., the fonts all come out about "two sizes" too large.
As a consequence, I'm stuck telling the user to downsize their fonts
(by hand, e.g. CTRL-[[ under Windows/Netscape) every time they look
at the site.
I want a solution to this problem. Does anyone understand why
Linux/Netscape (RedHat 6.0) would render fonts at a different size
than Windows/Netscape? Does anyone have a clue what I should do?
The site is accessed by going to
http://bigbox.unl.edu/plane/open.htm
and following the instructions there.
Thank you!!

Subject: Trouble downloading large files on Netscape
Date: Fri, 03 Sep 1999 15:31:07 GMT
I've been having trouble trying to download large files through
Netscape 4.51. (I have Red Hat 6.0)
I tried downloading StarOffice 5.1 from Sun's site, but when I get to over
about 5Mb, then the download hangs. The bar reached to 8% and froze there
all night. I've noticed the same problem with other large files I've tried
to download, and the only way I've been able to reliably get large files is
to FTP them. Unfortunately Sun's staroffice download is not ftp based :-(
Here what I get when I do an 'ls -lt' for the file
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cabal cabal 5627904 Sep 3 07:22 so51a_lnx_01.tar
which is the same time that I quit Netscape and terminated the hung up
download.
Any ideas what could be going on with Netscape?

You don't need an anti virus package. Viruses are a Windows
phenomenon. You should try to find out about Linux security.
This issue has been explored rather thoroughly in this and
other newsgroups. Try deja.com.
Of course any time you download some program and run it as
root, it could in principle thoroughly mess up your system.
So don't do it unless it is provided by a bonafide Linux
source. Programs under RedHat (and some other distributers)
come in rpm packages, which can be verified to confirm they
have not been modified.
A more serious risk is an intruder who enters your system
while you are connected to the internet. This is not too
likely if you are connected via a modem using an ISP, but
it is possible. So you should certainly take routine
measures to discourage such intruders. One would be to
make sure you have tcp_wrappers installed and your /etc/hosts.deny
file has the entry
ALL: ALL
You will also find lots of advice about services you should
disable.

I do this all the time on one of my machines. I assume that you misspoke
when you said your dialup (PPP) connection was to a LAN.
Anyway, what I do is have the LAN connection has the standard default, and
then when I want to use the phone, I do:
route del default
pppd -detach ...
I use the -detach flag so that pppd stays running in the foreground.
When I want to switch back to the LAN (ethernet), I simply ^C the pppd
process and it restores the default gateway through the LAN. No rebooting
necessary.

Ksirc. I'm posting this via the KDE News client.
Kmail works.
Oh yeah, my Palm III works with Star Office also. :c) Gotta have my toys.

You could use mtools to access your floppy (might have to be installed
first). They provide DOS-like access to a floppy, so that you could copy
the rpm file to your HD and install it from there.
Another possibility is to mount the floppy and install directly from it.
The command for mounting is probably something like
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
or so; better see the mount manpage. Don't forget to unmount the device
when you are done.

I have a RH6.0 instalation and I set the timezone to GMT-3 that is

I got the right time.
I'd like to know if is there something missing on my "rc's" scripts

Your problem seems to be with OS/2, not Linux. It has been
reported that if you leave the OS/2 boot manager but remove
the OS/2 system and data, the boot manager continues to function.
Of course you would have to modify it so it doesn't try to
boot OS/2. I believe this should work since older versions
of Partition Magic's Boot Magic just used the OS/2 boot manager
in a separate partition, and I've used it to boot Windows and
Linux.

I usually use
linux single
or
linux 1
at the LILO prompt. I'm not sure of the syntax you describe,
but if it does the same thing, you should tell us exactly where
in the boot sequence it hangs. It may be a hardware issue.
Your ethernet card may be jumpered improperly. You could remove
it from the machine and see what happens.

It looks like you are trying to "delete 5M" lines.
Do any of these lines have something in common that
the others do not? If so you could do a grep -v <common phrase> oldfile
>newfile
That would create a newfile w/o the lines that had the <common phrase>.
You might try the "top" command to get just a piece of the file to
work with.

Hi,
I work for a technical services provider on a contract for government
regulatory agency with some scientific research. There is a possibility
that we will be provided funding to do a test project involving building
two Beowulf clusters with Alpha chips running a linux operating system,
then networking these two together. I have been asked to familarize
myself with linux and programming in such an environment in order to
prepare for the task of porting some code running on MPPs to these
clusters.
I am trying to figure out my plan of attack. I have been asked to start
with getting myself familar with linux (I guess for the purpose of
having the flexibility to move me before things really start to another
part of the project). Are there any good books, websites, courses,
whatever, for learning about programming in a linux environment? Anyone
out there programming on a cluster running in linux?
Thanx,

Actually, if you run the Partition Magic Setup and choose only
to make a DOS rescue disk, and not to install PM
in Windows, it works fine. You can then use that
disk to resize the partition. We've done this recently with
Windows 98.

Yes, but if my link speed is 3.5kb/s uploading, this file, and there is
no data being received by the moddem during this same period, does it
strike you as odd that:
a) 3.5kb/s = 800bytes/s? that just doesnt make sense to me
b) it is _Generating_ traffic where it doesnt exist?
I have seen a friens graph from his router, and it clearly goes up to
3600 bytes/s, something that mine is not.
