Subject: A few newbie questions
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 16:47:32 GMT
I got RH 5.2 installed and working fine (5.2 was the only CD I had
available at the time). I've read 300+ pages and I'm stuck.
When using X Window, there is supposed to be a "User Configurator"
program, which is accessible by a button with a face on it in the
control panel. I don't have this buton. Is this really available, or
did I forget to install something?
I have a Linksys NIC installed, which wasn't recognized during
install. I tried selecting some similar cards, but none were
recognized. Am I SOL with this card? How hard is it to add a new NIC
after the original install?
I started a program called Xsnow (Programs > Amusements > Xsnow), and
I couldn't figure out how to end it. It doesn't run in a window, and
Window Operations > Kill won't shut it down either. How do I kill it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

> So, should I install linux?
God, what a question....
It all depends on the kind of user you are. I would never
recommend to my mother that she install Linux... all she needs
her computer for is to check email and occasionally write letters
or make greeting cards. However, for me Linux was a godsend...
going through a college computer science curriculum was much more
convienient with the compilers for every major programming
language already installed in place and free of charge. Plus, I
was able to teach myself all about CGI-scripting and core UNIX
network administration... skills that used to be impossible to
obtain unless you were lucky enough to have access to someone
else's machine (i.e. at the office, or something), that they were
gracious enough to let you play and tinker with at will (ha!).
What do you use a computer for, what do you do for a living? If
you make your living with computers (networking, web development,
etc.)... in this day and age it's almost a REQUIREMENT that you
have some kind of exposure to a UNIX system, and having Linux on
your home system is about the safest and most convienient way to
gain this exposure. If you're just an average home user, Linux
might not be the best option for you.
Have you considered dual-booting? Just about every Linux CD you
can get your hands on includes utilities for "shrinking" your
Windows partition without destroying the data already on it...
generating enough free space to install Linux on the spare
partion(s). Linux itself also comes with utilities to choose
which operating system you would like to boot into each time you
turn your machine on. I've been using Linux as my primary
operating system for 95% of what I do for the last four years...
but I still have a Win98 partition that I boot up to when I want
to play video games, or balance my checkbook (I'll give credit
where credit is due... I've found no suitable Linux substitute
for Microsoft Money!).

Hi,
Is the following possible using .htaccess:
When I setup a telnet user, he is redirected to /www/htdocs/username when he
logs in. But this user can also access other directory's like /www/ or
/www/htdocs/. Now I want to protect these directories, so the telnet user
cannot access these dir. I did protect them with .htaccess , but the problem
is that there are several files in /www/htdocs/ that must be accessable
using the web...So these files weren't accessable anymore...
Now I want protection against my Telnet users, but the files must be
accessable using the web.....
Anyone?
Thanks in Advance.

So, how should I separate my HDD space for these partitions?
Is there any other ways that I can install LILO beside install it into

You mean on a single machine ( your Linux gateway ) you can reach the network attached
to your ethernet device (eth0) and also the network attached to your ppp device
(ppp0).
Both at the same time from the same machine? For example you can ping two ip addresses
each on a seperate network?

But it may be possible to remove ezbios. Check on

your disk to see if it can run without ezbios. Then you can
remove it if you pass the test.

The sparcprinter is a super dumb printer, in which the sparcstation had
to send the information to the printer as raster scans. It also used a
special card in the system as the interface to the printer itself (I am
talking about the original sparcprinter, which is what the ghostscript
file is all about).
I only ever used it on a sparcstation, and had to do some alteration of
th ecode to get it running there.
I could send you those changes, but an not sure how valuable they would
be.
Not that the ghostscript driver needs the sparcprinter drivers from the
Sun distribution. That has source code for the Sparc printer drivers.
How easy the port to Linux would be I do not know.
Again note that I am talking about the SparcPrinter 1, not the
SparcPrinter 2 which I believe was an entirely different beast ( and as
far as I know not supported by ghostscript.)
These are the comments I made re my changes to gdevsppr.c
/* March 1996- changes by W. G. Unruh (WGU) a few bug fixes primarily.
The error array was shifted by one, and the lpvio must be tested before it returns
an error condition. Also, I instituted a page counter to the file .pgcnt in
the spool directory, and I also printed the error messages out both to stderr
and to the file "status" so that lpq could report the error message to the
users. */

We are using SONY SDT-9000's, they are SCSI-2 -- have had no
problem configuring them with Linux, no problem with dump/restore.
Support about 12 gig on a tape uncompressed which works well
for our file servers.
They are also FAST! Takes DUMP about 11 minutes to backup
a gigabyte.
They get my vote!

I suppose you're not talking about downloading and compiling source, then?
You know, if you had a clue about any of this, you'd realize that it is
usually source that is packaged in tarballs. Debian and RedHat have
developed some nice package management systems for installing compiled
applications. If a user is scared of decompressing and untar'ing a file,
how do you think he'll feel about compiling it? He'd best stick with
packages.
I haven't used Debian's system (I've heard great things about it), but
I do know that RedHat's is very simple.
rpm -i packagefilename
(that's "i" for "install," can your Windows user handle that?)
or for a prettier display
rpm -ivh packagefilename
Of course, now you have the power of a real package management system, so
you might have to learn some other commands. For example, you can
clearnly remove packages, query to see what packages are installed, query
a file to see what package it belongs to, upgrade a package, or even,
with a single command, go through a directory (local or on an ftp site)
and upgrade all the packages that already on your system, ignoring the
other package files.
Oh yes, if you're afraid of command lines, there are GUI frontends, too.
I haven't messed with them, though, as I can use my keyboard.
Or, you can just use the Windows approach: "Application foo crashes every
time I load it, saying that there's something wrong with bar.dll. I
tried un-installing and re-installing foo, but it still does it. I
wonder where bar.dll came from? I guess it's time to wipe Windows and
begin re-installing everything."

No. Competition can only be /proved/ when it is destructive because
that is its *DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC* which is obvious from
looking at its proper definition. In turn, the proper definition of
the word can be gleaned from basic psychology/sociology research.
When two sides are self-interested (greedy) and the circumstances
put them into conflict, this is a completely different situation
from when the two sides want to destroy each other (are competitive).
In the former case, circumstances can change and lead to different
outcomes, in the latter they can't because the conflict is a result
of the people themselves.

The vast majority of people would say that capitalism == free market.
They would also say that the USA is democratic and that the USSR was
communist. They would further define communism to be synonymous with
evil. What the vast majority of people (90%) believe on any political
subject is the result of propaganda and indoctrination, thus having
absolutely zero value.

It should be clear that your two examples are completely different;
GM and Ford are *companies* capable of possessing destructive intentions,
Linux and Windows are *products* and incapable of the same. You're
willfully misunderstanding my arguments for your own perverse purposes.
MS is in competition with Linux, Linux is merely in conflict with MS.

The upper class starts at 500 million dollars. Just what are you

Social mobility is not /strictly/ impossible, merely /in practice/
impossible. Rare exceptions like Horatio Algiers (notable *because*
of hteir rarity) do not change general facts.

It is known, for example, that even acquiring a billion dollars (ie, a
'fortune') is not sufficient for the upper class to identify you as one
of their own. Rather, it is important that you be *born* into wealth,
that you grow up with the security of a trust fund.

When I teach pure novices I go right down to the concept of 1 and zero
why that applies to something like RAM. I do it a bit (ahem) at a time
and do my best to avoid technobabbel. Example:
On a blackboard (or a whiteboard) I draw a lighted lightbulb. I stand
with it over my head. "Bob has an idea." I erase the glow from the lamp
and stand under it. "Bob doesn't have a clue. Can we all agree this is
true? Great. We've just created a standard we can all agree on."
I agree with Joe that teaching some of the basic concepts first helps
later. I still run into customers who try to run data files not
associated on their systems. True enough once they are associated they
won't care. But the concept is important.
When I drive a car I don't ponder the differences between four-stroke
engines and two-stroke engines. But having a solid grounding in the
theory of how an engine works has gotten me home after trouble erupted.

Note, get rid of the kdebug # option as it just clutters the
output without usually adding any useful info.
Try using the option noccp as it seems the two of you cannot agree on a
compression protocol anyway, and compression modems make software
compression in ppp somewhat useless anyway.

Subject: init hangs after trying to uninst Postgres with rpm
Date: Mon, 06 Sep 1999 19:34:56 GMT
Dear folks,
Few days ago, when I was preparing to replace Postgres 6.1 with 6.5, I
ran in some troubles after I executed rpm unistall option.
I remember postgres uninstall script reported errors abt it's data
directory. Did not care much cause, of course, I modified many of the
originally installed files. For my surprise, fm that momt on, I cudn't
boot my linux box anymore!
The follg is the INIT output:
--Qte
INIT: version 2.71
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel.
--Unqte
I can boot with a utility floppy, but don't know what must be changed
on INIT script.
Anyone can help?
Tks in advance.
Ivan Daudt
Fyi: I'm running RH 5.0.
