pico usually comes with pine. You should also be able to download binaries
for both from the university of washington (they also have the source, of
course, if you prefer to compile it).

Have you looked in the startx script on your system? The one on my
system (Mandrake 6.0) has a line:
display=:0
in it. That might be the source of your problem. The other suggestion I
would make is perhaps you should look for a way to use xdm on the exceed
box rather than startx.

I don't understand your comment. I've been faced with converting a lot of
old files
in troff and LaTeX to Word, and have tried out the various public domain
programs
for doing this (ps2tex, etc), and none of these came out better than about a
50%
conversion - the rest hade to be done manually, file by file. And just try
converting
tables!
On the other hand, the scanner with OCR works just fine. You may or not like
it,
and it may not be elegant, but it is an efficient solution to a problem
where the
"state-of-the-art" software does a poor job.

Linux supports 56K V.90 modems (I have one, make sure you don't
get a Winmodem!). The way I tell what speed I'm connecting at is by
looking in the log file. I think this is only because I invoke ppp with
debug set though, that causes it to report activity on the line to syslog,
which logs it in different places depending on how syslog.conf (you can
see man pages, having it logged is a bit of a security risk as your
password is exposed to anyone who can read the file.) On my system, which
is a slackware distribution, that's /var/adm/messages, I think in
redhat it's /var/spool/something or other. Typically I'll get something
like 48000 (48000 what? baud per second I suppose, it's a lot more than
my old 19K modem).

Subject: ATAPI Zip disk on Linux
Date: 18 Sep 1999 01:52:24 GMT
I am having some awkward behaviour with an ATAPI zip disk that
I swap in place of my CD-ROM drive on my laptop (Inspiron I7000).
First, it appears that the documentation on the web is somewhat
out of date. The mini-howto suggested that ATAPI Zip drives
either required CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=Y (include IDE/ATAPI Floppy
support) or SCSI emulation support= Y. One commentor said not
to enable IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY but to enable SCSI emulation support
so that you could use the eject facilities. The default Red Hat 6
settings in my kernel have both of these set as M (module)
and the documentation for the kernel settings says that the
Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support already supports the ATAPI
Iomega ZIP drive and LS120 drives. When I boot, the zip drive
shows up as device hdc, and if the disk is DOS formatted (the
usual freshly bought situation), I mount as
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zip (for some reason partition 4).
Then I do cd /mnt/zip and files are there. I can do umount /mnt/zip
and eject hdc and out pops my zip disk. PERFECT!
Ok, so it turns out that zero work is required to mount a DOS
formatted ATAPI zip disk, even on a laptop. (I found out after
first attempting the kernel changes all the other how-tos listed
followed by kernel compiling etc making a mistake, trashing my
system and re-installing. DO NOT DO THIS!)
BUT, I wanted to format the disk for native linux filesystem (ext2).
I found that if I start with a DOS formatted zip disk, and do
mke2fs -m 0 /dev/hdc4
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zipln
cd /mnt/zipln
it works! (/mnt/zipln and /mnt/zip were created prior to this with
mkdir).
However, if I format as
mke2fs /dev/hdc4
after "writing inode tables:done" message, it then says
"ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted
in short read while creating root dir"
So the default mke2fs, which reserves 5% of disk space, does
not create a valid linux zip disk. If I do
fdisk /dev/hdc or
fdisk /dev/hdc4
and try various versions of deleting partitions, creating a new
partition 4 or say partion 1 etc, write it (w), then I can run
mke2fs /dev/hdc4 (if made partition 4) and it doesn't state
any errors. However, if I then do
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc4 /mnt/zipln
cd /mnt/zipln
I get a message "bash: /mnt/zipln not a directory"
So, why must I start with a DOS formatted ZIP disk, and then only
use the -m 0 option in mke2fs to format to create a valid linux zip
disk? Fdisk also causes problems regardles of whether you use
the o command or not (this creates a DOS partition entry of some sort)?
There is some mention of problems with fdisk and DOS 6.0 in the man
documentation.
Can anybody else duplicate this behaviour on built in ZIP drives?
There are lots mentioned on the how-tos and in books about using
parallel and SCSI Zip disks but almost nothing on the ATAPI drives.
I suspect there has been little motivation to use the ext2 file system
on zip disks since things work fine with DOS formatted disks.

I expect it depends upon what _other_ tools he uses.
I foray into web authoring rarely, but when I do it's usually something
sizeable (300+ pages).
I use vi, the standard Unix text-processing tools, makefiles, and whatever
html preprocessor seems most up-to-date at the time.
I do _not_ write the pages by hand.

It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and
by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate
the habit of thinking about what we are doing. The precise opposite is the
case. Civilization advances by extending the numbers of important operations
which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are
like cavalry charges in battle -- they are strictly limited in number, they
require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.

It has not been an FAQ. Some terminal types (e.g., VT100 family) implement
"transparent printing" by accepting an escape sequence that tells the
terminal to ignore further input - and presumably an attached printer will
see this sequence and begin printing the characters which are sent to the
terminal. There are also escape sequences that tell the terminal to print
its screen.
In terminfo, those are denoted "media copy", e.g., in XFree86 xterm:
mc5i,
mc0=\E[i,
mc4=\E[4i,
mc5=\E[5i,
which are listed in the terminfo manpage.

Hopefully. What I'd like for Linux is a good game engine which would allow
people to write their own without huge development budgets. We've already got
the Quake C engine, but something that works in a C&C type way wouldn't go
amiss.

Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing:
- xterm -display <NT-PC:0> works
- startx -display <NT-PC:0> does not work
That does not really surprise me; with 'startx' you're trying to start the X
server, but there already is an X server running on your PC - eXceed !
What you want to do is to enable XDMCP on your eXceed installation (somewhere
in the control panels for eXceed) and then choose an XDMCP session from your
Linux host.
Some people have reported problems with this setup when using gdm/kdm instead
of the plain old X11 'xdm' - if so, please make sure you are starting
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm.

Can someone please tell me the correct procedure for upgrading Apache?
I use Red Hat 6.0, and when installing I opted to install Apache - which
was version 2.3.6-7. The thing is, I have now downloaded the new Apache
binaries from the Apache website (2.3.9) and am hoping to upgrade my
version of apache. When I did so however, I find that it is almost like
a completely different product. The installation made no attempt to find
out if I had already installed Apache (which I have), and simply
installed a completely separate copy to a completely different
directory.
Now the default installation points to a HTML directory different to the
original, and uses a completely different set of configuration files. It
also means that my startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d starts the old
apache rather than the new one. Is there a correct way to upgrade
apache, or do I have to treat it as a completely new product - which
means uninstalling the old one or just leaving it there to waste disk
space?
Its rather annoying how they decided to change the program to be called
'apache' by filename rather than 'httpd' like it used to be.
Thanks,
Terence Parker.

I did make LILO boot QNX but I can't find the configuration file now. I
remember everything I did was pretty much standard.
