Running Linux 2.0.36, ether=0,0,10,eth0
I am at a loss trying to get a Dec Tulip chip card (KNE100TX) to go
into 10meg Full Duplex mode with latest tulip driver.
Instructions on tulip home page say to put Options=10 in append line or
in tulip.c. Both lock up the card cold, all lights off.
Any help would be appreciated.

See http://www.dsv.nl/~buytenh/ext2resize/ perhaps or make a backup,
change the partitions and do a restore. A fresh backup sounds like
a good idea anyway before doing such stuff.
One minor note, if what you're going to do is just increase the
partition using fdisk, then you should be able to still mount
it afterwards, no kidding. It might be easier if there is space
to shuffle that stuff around afterwards, to run mke2fs then
and to shuffle all back.

No you can't easily do it. But you could make a symbolic link
from /home or some directory of /home to a subdirectory of /usr.
Then it would look like a subdirectory of /home.

I am running Red Hat 6 on my system. I have Linux on one partition and another
partition I use for Windows. I mount the windows partition to /mnt/c but only
root can write to it and I would like to make it so other users can write to
it. How do I change the permissions, so that other users can write to the
windows partition when it is mounted in Linux? Thanks in advance for your

I second that. A *very* simple way to go, without so much as a reboot ;-)
I don't know how much of a performance hit you'll take, but I think if you
look into the priority number assignment, you can make any file-system based
page files inactive until the primary swap space is used up (as apposed to
the striping Linux does between peer page files).
There is (or was anyhow) a daemon available that will add/remove page files
as conditions warrant. I've never used it, but it sounds interesting. The
URL I found at freshmeat is now invalid, but you might have some luck if you
mail the author directly at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. The daemon is called
"swapd".

First, the StarOffice can be used freely, unlike Applixware which has an
evaluation edition that makes ApplixWords only edit 2-page documents and
so on.
StarOffice tries to emulate as much as possible the MSOffice look and
feel and it succeeds to a certain point but it is no small program.
About VBA, I haven't checked it but I do not think that any of the two
implements it.
The moral is, I suppose, try them yourself as they're both available on
the Web one way or another.

You may need to configure X. If you did that already, then there are a
few possibilities for why the resolution is so low. If you have
configured using XF86Setup, Xconfigurator, or xf86config, then run startx
-verbose &>startxlog and look at that. It will tell you if any modelines
were accepted and will tell you why they were deleted if not accepted.
That can give you some clues. Was your monitor in the list, btw?
Incorrect monitor settings can get modelines for higher resolution
deleted.
So tell us more, ok.

I can do that with X. Just select a region and click the middle mouse
button. With netscape you don't even have to paste it into the URL
locator; just middle click anywhere in netscape and it'll load the url.

IMHO, the X concept of owning the selection is superior to the Windows clipboard.

Welll... fetchmail has to have a file made in your home directory. So
you make .fetchmailrc Yes, that is with a dot in front of it. In it is
something like this
poll pop.myisp.net proto POP3 user myusername pass mypassword
That tells fetchmail where to go for your mail, after you are online of
course.
Now it doesn't tell you that you have mail. You just have to check to
see. And you do that by typing fetchmail. It then goes to the pop server
and looks and gets it. Then you can read it with Pine or something. Of
course Pine has to be configured too, but it has a setup within the
program that isn't so hard to figure out. It even has a help.
Mostly, I use Netscape to read my email. It has that nice little thing to
go check your mail every so often if you put it in the preferences etc.
Pine works nicely though. I used it for a while with fetchmail before I
got Netscape working. Pine sends mail nicely. I have yet to figure out
how to use sendmail. That is a real pain, but with Pine you don't have to
mess with it. Sendmail is a very powerful program and well... you didn't
ask about that, did you?
Good luck.

I first used Linux a mere three years ago and it seemed much less user friendly
than it is now. I recently came back to Linux and was stunned at how much more
user friendly it was -- especially getting X to work properly.
Now, if Linux can make a significant jump in user friendliness in just a few
years then I can imagine that the next few years will bring an even more dramatic
jump. You can expect that Linux will, over time, make significant inroads into
even the casual home user market. The next few years should be very interesting.

No, with either the hfs module (MacOS file system) or with hfsutils. The
hfs fs kernel module allows you to mount Mac formatted floppies, Zip
disks, Jaz carts, and CD-ROMs. You can then access these in much the
same was as you would mounted FAT/VFAT floppies, Zip disks, or Jaz
carts. OTOH, hfsutils it like mtools -- hfsutils provides a collection
of programs to access Mac formatted media. There is also a GUI program

well-known bug. Is any solution to it?
2) I can't find a method of saving the following options:

- margins
- language settings.
And, is it possible to get additional font styles?

If you want to use netatalk, see the NET-2-HOWTO. I know of at least
one installation that shares files between its Apple network and its
Novell network via a Linux box. Of course, both Apple and Novell are
moving to the TCP/IP protocol anyway....

Hi Karl,
Im not sure I understand your question. I was at a location where we
had file transfers setup between Netware and Redhat Linux 6.0 with no
problems. The systems could see and mount each others files. There
were some compromises which were made concerning security and password
exposure. However, in a relatively secure environment, it works
nicely. Its relatively easy to access the Netware Printers from Linux
as well using the Linux control-panel,
