as good as i know the run level for X-console on start-up is the 5. so
change the 'initdefault' line from any number to 5.

why do you want to change it? you can also run any kde programs from
gnome desktop. and on redhat they are also avaible in the main menu.

yes. i thik the file for it is '~/.startx' or '~/.xinit'. change a
default script so that it starts the prefered environment.

i guess your modem is connected to your serial line. so the serial line
devices are on default always present. the devices are /dev/ttyS0 for
com1, /devttyS1 for com2 and so on. (ON DEFAULT INSTALLATION) so you can
fire up 'minicom' and test your modem. but i prefer to read the modem-,
ppp-, and so on HOWTO's.

i would say make multiple files. like alias.user-x, alias.user-y and
write an alias.update script to get the datas from different files and
puts into the /etc/aliases file. - or put the files in a new directory
and the script can get the all the files inthis dir to write the
/etc/aliases.
i don't if can insist /etc/aliases file to read from other files or
directories.

If you find out what a better solution is, please post back.
The only thing I have found, is separate logging for all kernel messages
since ipchains is really handled by the kernel itself. So I have this in
syslog.conf:
kern.* /var/log/klog
*.info;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none;kern.none /var/log/messages
This dumps all kernel stuff to klog. Most of this for me is ipchains
logging. As a warning, I notice that whenever my logs get rotated, the
logging stops. I am having to restart my firewall script to work around
this.

This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
will run faster if you say N here.
Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
"Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power

but the interaction between linux and windows is very good.
a recommendstion that i can make is to make a _good_ linux server and
lot of thin clients (diskless workstations - no harddisk, no cd-rom,

Hi, I am a web developer who uses NT. A client of mine recently decided
to move an old site to a linux box. I have a piece of the site which was
written in ASP that needs to be converted to something that will work in
Linux. The code I was using was just to pass a variable from one page to
another without using forms. The focus group requires that I also do not
use cookies. The code I need to replace is the QueryString object.(ie. <a

Request.Querystring("file")%>) Any help at all on this would be greatly
appreciated.

There's the good Linux Man Page HOWTO, which you should find in your

Hi,
I do not know very much about it but it might help.
After you give a printcommand, and when you get the error, you might take a
look what modules have been loaded. If it is allright then parport,
parport_pc and lp should be loaded by the kerneldeamon. You can check it as
root with the command lsmod.
If the modules have not been loaded then you can give the command modprobe
lp, which should load the modules, or give errors about not being able to
load a module.
If the modules do not exist you should rebuild the kernel and the modules.
If they do exist the problem would be somewhere else

Subject: KDE/X configuration
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2000 23:54:30 GMT
Hello, I am a Linux Newbie and have finally got my
system up and running, but there are a few details
which I would like to know. The setup is RedHat
6.1 with KDE, running on Cyrix 200, Via
motherboard, Diamond SpeedStar A50 graphics card
(SIS 6326 chipset). It is also dual- (or rather
triple-) booted with Windows 98 and Windows 2000,
using BootMagic.
My questions are:
1. How do I switch color depth without quitting
X?
2. How can I resize the virtual desktop?
3. How can I stop the computer from turning off
NumLock when starting Linux or X?
Despite much serching I have not been able to find
answers to this in any FAQ or manual I've come
across.
With thanks,
K�ri �ssurarson.
P.S. Getting the graphics card working was no
simple matter (at least for a newbie like me),
requireing hand-tuning of the XF86Config file. If
someone out there is going through the same
process, I can post the neccessary modifications.

Subject: read -- - PartitionMagic error ( mandrake linux )
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 00:05:51 GMT
Here is my problem, please take the time to read it :
I recently installed partition and boot magic on my windows 98
computer in preparation to install mandrake Linux 7.0. I installed
Linux, but felt I did not do a good enough job so i decided to delete
the partition. When I got to Windows, I used the delete Linux partition
option that PartitionMagic gave me. When the computer rebooted, I went
through the steps of the dos delete linux partition program, and it
seemed as though it had worked. When the computer re-booted, Lilo gave
me the same three options as usual : windows, linux, and floppy.
Whether or not linux should still be listed as an option or whether I
should have entered lilo at all is a different question, because when i
typed linux just in case, it doesn't work anyways. ( the floppy option
is also not the problem ) My real problem is that when i type
in "windows" the computer goes to the partitionMagic dos program that
says "the Linux partition could not be deleted. That operating system
partition to be deleted was not found." This program gives me only the
option to click ok, and when i do so, the computer reboots and when i
type windows again under lilo, the same problem occurs. I have heard
several responses, none of which I have gotten to work.
I made a boot disk on my other windows computer ( typing sys a: at
dos prompt at other computer ). I then put the disk into the computer
and it booted up into a dos prompt. People told me to type fdisk /mbr,
which i did at both the a and the c prompt, but neither recognized it.
I also typed win / win98 / windows, but that didn't work either.
I can't get back into my computer ( windows ), so please try to
solve my problem.
THANKS A MILLION, me

There's a HOWTO entitled Man-Page which has the following contents.
It seems to cover everything that you'll need. I found this in the
directory /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini of my RedHat 6.0 distro.
_Table of contents_

* 1) How are man pages accessed?
* 2) How should a formatted man page look like?
* 3) How do I document several programs/functions in a single man
page?

There's an RPM HOWTO that explains the steps required and how to build
the appropriate files. The HOWTO is called RPM-HOWTO. I found this file
in the directory /usr/doc/HOWTO of my RedHat 6.0 distro.
In the version on my HD there is no table of contents, but the bit that
you're interested is in there section 6. Building RPMs.

You can make a link from a /~/bin directory to the programdirectory, like
this;
ln -s /usr/local/coffee/bin/coffee /usr/X11/bin/coffee
If coffee would be an executable, then you can just type coffee in a
terminal and it should work.

Hi,
In your /etc/fstab you can make a line like this;
/hda3 /dos vfat umask=000
With the option umask=000 every user has write access.
You also might want to try umask=022, with which users have got less
permissions.

In your boot messages you should only see the ttyS00 and ttyS01 numbers.
If you see ttyS0 and ttyS1 (which are the same devices used for pppd,
etc.) maybe something like /etc/rc.d/rc.serial is running setserial to set
specific parameters. I have to do this with my IrDA port which the kernel
assumes for ttyS02 is 0x03e8, irq 4, 8250 UART, but I use setserial to
configure ttyS2 as 0x03e8, irq 10, 16550A UART.

Can anyone tell me where this file comes from. I recompiled my kernel
and linked the system map.
But I can't find the module-info file anywhere. If its not in the
kernel source and its not an rpm where
is this phantom file from?

Here's what I do :
-create a mount point called /mnt/vfat:
mkdir /mnt/vfat
-then mount the appropriate win partition:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat
-that's it.
hda1 happens to be the C dos/win partition on my system. I believe, (haven't
tried it) that you can mount any partition that you described when you were
setting up Linux, ie if you have hda2, hda3 etc. I have an imperfect
understanding of that.

with primroses on either side,
Between their shadows and the sun,
the cows came slowly, one by one.
