I thank everyone for the answer but is it possible for a user to just bring a
su program from another box and install it in her path like /home/girl/bin.
If I were the user who is thwarted by not being able to run su that is how
I would go about doing it.
Also suauth is not in my path and have never experienced it before.
In which package is it? I user red hat 6.0.

If this is a question...the answer is yes. Make sure VFAT support is
compiled into the kernel. While your at it you might as well make sure FAT
and MSDOS support is also compiled in. Then you can do: mount -t [vfat,
msdos] /dev/floppy /[mntpoint].

I'm using quite a lot at the moment on Linux. Its pretty good, no major
complains at all. It has a few quirks but so does every package. I also
tried Word Perfect for Linux but ditched it. It really wasn't working
for me.
I'm using to open, edit and save a whole pile of MS Word docs (word 2.0
to won97) and it seems to work really well. The files I save can even be
read by the MS products.
You will need a rather grunty machine to run it however.
Hope this helps,

Does anyone have experience of running Sun Accounts under
Linux/iBCS?
I have taken a backup of a SCO Unix system, restored it in a
sensible place under Linux, tinkered a bit with symlinks and PATH
so as to make things look plausible, loaded iBCS, and tried to run
it.
I get as far as running SSMM (whatever that might be), but it just
loops apparently doing nothing.
There is, of course, absolutely no documentation.
Helpful suggestions, anyone? I could always buuild a new SCO Unix
system, but the client would prefer Linux (and so would I).

Well, I like it, but it's still (implicitly) a hierarchical
structure. Another thing, if you've done web searches you know
that what you enter for search text and what the search returns
are always related, but often related in too literal a manner.
But word matching can be powerful, if it's handled right. I find
even with fairly large databases, filtering on even three or four
letters in a certain sequence usually reduces the choices to a
very easily manageable number, a small handful at worst.
I think the idea of a set of visual filters of some sort would be
ideal, but I don't know what the ideal way of establishing those
filters automatically would be. I think literal text-matching
could be frustrating.

I agree, people don't seem to get that computers -don't- think.

What would be cool sort of would be if the computer macro-recorded
everything the user did. Preferably 'crunching' the resulting
macros by cross-referencing related activity.
Then as the computer got more 'experienced', it could offer the
user the option to 'do some certain common activity', representing
a high-frequency activity of the user. Obviously, that's an
off-the-top of my head idea. I kinda like it though. A language
like 'Rebol' would be good for that.

Yeah, the keywords could just be the filenames. But I can see
where that could be problematic if you had -thousands- of fairly
similar images. Or you download a bunch of images from the web as
clipart or something, and they all have names like
'MnStblk_001.bmp'.

This I have to disagree with. If a user takes the time to learn
their way around one interface, I think it's undesirable to -not-
have that knowledge apply to other applications.
As it is, yes it can be frustrating learning Word or Excel for the
first time, but once you do you find the next app you learn much
easier to get the hang of.
I can go from my Amiga to a PC at work or a Mac somewhere, and sit
right down and run most apps, because they are uniform. I think
it would be better to avoid losing that.

I agree with this as a solution. Interface standards should be

When I installed my Linux Mandrake 6.0, I only had an IDE CDROM. And the
system configured the /dev/cdrom to my /dev/hdc. Now, I purchased an CD
Writer and put it in /dev/hdc and moved the old CD ROM drive to /dev/hdd.
After the ide-scsi module is loaded, the device /dev/hdc becomes /dev/rsd0
and /dev/hdc is no longer accessible. The definition of /dev/cdrom is not
correct in my system. How do I change it to /dev/rsd0 or /dev/hdd?

For refugees from Windows, I recommend nedit. Nice clean interface,
lots of functionality. Less powerful than emacs but a lot easier
to learn. Motif-based, but very stable with the current Lesstif.
Good multiple-document handling; syntax highlighting for various
languages. References and build guide at

This is very sound advice indeed, but simpler to say that every kernel
source tree since the high Renaissance has included a README file in
its toplevel directory which outlines step-by-step exactly what to do
to make zImage or bzImage (well, bzImage is a little more recent,
maybe since the French Revolution for that one).

What I'm still not understanding is what you mean when you say "I
expect" this and that. It sounds like you aren't concerned about the
law because you don't expect that it will be enforced. I'm concerned
about such a law, whether it makes common sense or not - especially if
it doesn't.

I understand English just fine. In the text you quoted to me, there
were exactly two words surrounded by or containing asterisks, which you
asked I direct my attention to. Those words were "dare" and "fuck".
That you a) can't count, and b) can't keep track of your own statements,
is not a problem of my comprehension.
Now, did you want to try again, or would you prefer to simply be left

Hi,
/dev/cdrom is most probably only a symlink to /dev/hdc in your case. The
easiest way to check this is by
ls -l /dev/cdrom
and see where it is linked. All you have to do is to delete this link
and make another link to the appropriate device.
ln -s /dev/rsd0 /dev/cdrom
or
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
