if you can work with something like DOS-EDIT, the built-in editor in
Midnight Commander comes closest of those i've tried.
if i was going to be doing a lot of editing using a standard Linux editor,
i'd take the time to learn emacs. but as far as i know i'm not, so the
book sits on my desk, and when i need to edit on Linux i use mc's built-in

i assume you realize the only way to get an editor you truely like is to

I am using Redhat 6.0 with Netscape 4.61. I've noticed there is a problem with select
boxes. Basically if I click on select box and it's pretty long so that I have to drag
over More... to have more entries appear and there is a textarea on the same page,
after I release the mouse button and try to type in the textarea it's frozen. Doesn't
receive any keyboard input. If I minimize Netscape and restore it, it works fine.
Anybody see something similar?

Let's be realistic here. We're talking about running Linux and Windows on
hardware that is designed with running Windows in mind, yet Linux runs
better and you're suggesting that it is the hardware that is causing
Windows to fail? I'll bet that said machine has a "Designed for Windows
95/8" sticker on it somewhere but nobody tested it with Linux before
selling it.
Well, maybe it is the hardware. Maybe it's just that Windows requires
special, magical hardware that can compensate for a poorly written
operating system, and it's the fault of the user for not buying the correct
stuff.
Can you provide me with a system specification that you can guarantee with
run Windows as reliably a generic PC will run Linux?

But here you say "when Linux and Windows are the same thing, we will
compare them." The Linux kernel cannot be the same as the Windows kernel,
because the Linux kernel is the Linux kernel and if it weren't, it wouldn't
be Linux. Why don't you just say "It's not fair to compare Windows and
Linux because Linux is better so Windows doesn't have a chance" and be done
with it?

Or, he could ask them to allow him to stick his GUI on as an option
for him. They probably won't allow that though. So, this boils down
to (In terms of Macs and Windows); Bob has a Mac, but his workplace
has standardised on Windows, therefore Bob has to learn 2 UIs or throw
out the Mac. Never mind that he may prefer the Mac and you're quickly
running into "encoraging monopolies" territory.

Most GUIs are so similar it doesn't take much to pick them up, unless
someone insists on sticking, say, the LCARS theme onto Enlightenment.
Then again, my Library uses a DOS based interface, so it is different.

Oh well, Bill could just stick on Mr. Next-door-neighbour's GUI just
to demonstrate it. I mean, the differences in look and feel between
GNOME and KDE aren't all that huge. Each has some form of 'start'
menu, each allows you to stick launchers and programs on the panel,
each has a fairly similar configuration program etc.

Choice is good. I prefer the RISC OS GUI, one person prefers the
Windows GUI and yet another prefers the Mac GUI. How do you decide
which is 'better'? What you are advocating is the removal of choice,
and that is a scary concept.

Most GNU tar releases have problems on the implementation of
POSIX 1003.1 (ustar) extensions. If the path of the files on the
tar archive have exactly 100 chars length you will probably have
some problems untarring it when tar file was made on an operating
system with a non-GNU tar, like Solaris or HP-UX. I recommend you
to install first GNU-tar (as gtar) on your Solaris workstation.
Some time ago I collaborated with Fran�ois Pinard, from the
University of Montreal, solving this problem.

I'm running Redhat 5.2 and have had it setup with xdm for logging in for
about 3 months. I've decided to change to kdm as it allows the shutdown
button from the login box. I have tried to get it up and running but
keep failing. I can login and by my theory, my windowmanager should
start up, either kde(by default) or windowmaker. All I get is an xterm.
I've tried adding the chooser option but to no avail. What does kdm
execute after successful login, is it .xsession or .xinitrc (starnge, I
know) or something else?
Thanks for your help

I would refer you to my second post, in which I make a clear
differentiation between installing software and actual heavy-duty systems
administration. You will also note that in the post, I do sympathize with
those in end-user support who have to clean-up after the end users who
think they know more than they do. All the more reason to make mundane
tasks like installing software easier for the end user, so that we
_DON'T_HAVE_TO_ clean up after them. Anyway, just read the post, I think
it already rebuts all of your major arguments.
I have seen the future, and it involves computer use by the masses. You
can either accept this and use it to your advantage (i.e. use your
programming skills, etc. to make installs easier). People are willing to
pay for things that simplify their lives. Or give the technology away, I
don't care. The point is that computing is going to get easier, whether
you like it or not. The popularity of Windows, even though it is
technically flawed, should attest to that. You can advocate Linux, etc.
till you are blue in the face, but if Joe User can't figure out how to
install a word processor, he won't use it. Period. And he'll have no
sysadmin to call for assistance. Like I said, I feel your pain, but it's
time to get over it and look to the future. Personally, I think the
ultimate OS will provide user-friendliness, but allow you to get down-and-
dirty if you want. I have yet to see such an OS...

AFAIK, the active border feature simply allows automatic dragging of windows
from one desktop to another. For example, if you're working in desktop one,
and you drag your window to all the way off screen to the right, it will
automatically snap into desktop two.
To disable the virtual screen setup, where you have to pan annoyingly across
your workspace, you have to edit your XF86Config file. I've forgotten
exactly what has to be done, but it involves matching the desktop settings
with your actual screen resolution.
BTW, this is another silly Linux ease-of-use issue. I don't know anyone who
works with their screen in this stupid, pan-and-scan mode, which is the
default setting. Everyone seems to change it as soon as they figure out
how. I don't see how it could be useful, except with a really big monitor
at a really high resolution (which I've tried, and it's still a pain in the
butt, and the fonts are still really, really ugly). With so many desktops
available, it's easier to spread the windows around and click between
screens, than to pile all the windows into one desktop, and then try to
reposition the screen over them. It's nice to have such a configuration
option, but by no means should it be the default setting.

Subject: gnome sound events on multiple VTs
Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 13:37:04 -0700
I run gnome simultaneously on multiple virtual terminals on my Linux
(kernel 2.2.10) box and I've noticed some strange behavior with the
sound events.
What seems to be happening is that the sound events that are used and
played for any given event are the ones that are specified by the user
that has loaded X and gnome most recently, no matter which user/terminal
the event is generated in.
For example, if user "joe" has the Panel/Collapse sound event set to
"xxx.wav", xxx.wav plays when he collapses a Gnome Panel. But if user
"jack" logs on and starts up X and gnome on the same box on another VT
*after* "joe" has logged in and started up X and gnome, and "jack" has
his Panel/Collapse event set to "yyy.wav", both "jack" *and* "joe" will
now hear "yyy.wav" when either one collapses their respective Gnome
Panel.
Can anyone reproduce this behavior? Does anyone know if this is a bug
or a just a problem with my configuration?
I'm using ESD and I execute "esdctl unlock" to allow all users access
the sound device.
Thanks in advance for any info,
--Pedro

So you are saying that because of the major,minor numbers (which point to [?]

the kernel), a restore is impossible, because these change every time the
system
kernel is re-linked? i don't think these major,minor numbers change

I'm having a problem I don't remember from before about installing Linux
on a 1.2 Gig hard drive.
I've installed it before on 1.2 and 4.1 gigs and I don't remember this
problem.
I recently got hold of an IBM Aptiva and put a Maxtor 7126AT 1.2 Gig
drive (2448 cyls, 16 heads, 63 sectors) in it. CMOS autodetects. I make
a boot and root floppy from slackware, just like before using bare.i for
boot and color for root.
During boot it does report some unknown pci devices.
I boot and run fdisk which reports 64 heads, 63 sectors, and 612
cylinders
I created the following
Start End Block ID System
1 178 358816+ 6 DOS 16 >= 32M
179 192 28224 82 Linux Swap
193 611 844704 83 Linux Native
write it and reboot.
Run
mkswap /dev/hda2
swapon /dev/hda2
I then run
mke2fs /dev/hda3
It does it's inode and superblock thing and then runs for a second and
then goes ape with the following ptint out
hda:write_intr: status=0x71{DriveReady DeviceFault SeekConplete Error}
hda:write_intr: Error = 04 {DreiveStatusError}
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 sector 1671183
ide0: reset: success
For fun a yucks I change first partition to a Linux native and run
mke2fs on it just fine.
What gives???
I thoguht that there was no problem with Linux and disk this size except
for LILO wanting the image in <1024 cylinders.

You could have been caught in the old 2GB 'limit' of ext2 filesystems.
And partitioned 4 primary/extended partitions of this size.
As you can have only 4 primary and/or extended partitions, fdisk would
be correct in informing that it could add no more.
For confirmation, could you post the output of:
fdisk -l
This should allow a much better diagnosis.
