^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ummm, no. The "append=" part is only needed for Lilo. For Loadlin, a
mem=128M
line in the Loadlin config file is sufficient.

Which version of fetchmail are you running? There was a bug in UIDL
handling in versions < 5.2.8. The current version is 5.3.2, which was
released today.

All,
Does anyone know of any good simple messaging service software for Linux.
I have seen some on the web but none with any good documentation on how to
set it up. As I don't have much time to work on this, documentation is most

Your help would be most appreciated.

I need some help with my back-ups from APC. I tried to get a connection

So could anyone help me an give a hint how to configure my serial port for

Not real sure what you're referring to. There's symlinks (plural) which
is in the package symlinks and is for managing -you guessed it- symbolic
links.
There's also ln which is used to create hard and symbolic links, and its
in the fileutils package.

Hello,
I've a problem with io-mage ZIP (parallel version):
I've installed recently an Adaptec SCSI-controller (2940) with two CD's.
Before this upgrade, I made:
modprobe ppa
insmod ppa
mount -v fat /dev/sda4 /mnt/io-zip
After this, I can't use the ZIP: the modprobe seems to work, but when I
try to make mount..., Linux tell me that /dev/sda4 is not a valid block
device.
It seems that with the scsi controller, the ZIP is no more /dev/sda4.
But I've tried /dev/sdb4, and so on, but nothing work.
Please, help me!!!
P.s. with: cdrecord -scanbus the ZIP is the device 1,6,0.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Matt !
You're right, in general living is expensive and salaries are lower, mainly
because of many taxes we have in Europe, especially in France. We have about 20%
taxes on salary, plus 20% on anything bought (TVA, we could say "taxes on bought
products"), and many more miscellanous taxes for about 15%, which in all means
that a french works nowadays at little more than 55% for taxes, the rest for
him. I believe we have now the higest taxation in whole Europe. Saddly our dumb
politicians (I should say "politicians" only, same meaning, in France at least),
have some other nice ideas for wasting more public money, the worse being the
"35 hours system", getting more pay for working less in every active branch,
which is a total silliness but only french government seems not to be aware of
it, so this will get worse whatever happens. Anyway, we lose 30,000 qualified
people a year, mainly computer engineers, who flee abroad.
But this is not especially better in rest of Europe, Germany and UK are very
expensive too, only few European countries are really worth living as
Netherlands and Ireland, to my opinion.

Hi !
You're both right and wrong, to my opinion.
You're right when you say that in Europe technical people are at the bottom of
the totem pole, no matter how good they are.
You're wrong whan you conclude immediatly that the consequence means an
immediate technical suppremacy of US produces, and that any good European
software is developed by universities, not by private companies. In france we
have many private companies which are famous worldwide such as Business
Objects, GemPlus, Cap-Gemini, ... and their programmers are very qualified too,
but the awful trouble for us Europeans is the lack of strategical efforts at
government level. Most of all have left France mainland for abroad where taxes
are much lower. There is a business war raging on using new technologies, and
in Europe we have no headquarters, every single company fights alone for
herself, while in USA whole country is involved in technical worldwide
standards domination. We have among finest worldwide scientifics at INRIA in
France on the pure technical field, perhaps better than at MIT itself although
MIT people are allready excellent too, but what use of any good technical
knowledge if we can't use it for making business ? Clearly none for us, this is
where we are clearly inferior. USA is often less (not much) advanced on
technological field, but it clearly smashes us in the business field.
USA are much better than others for they are much more efficient for using
their skills into making money, not for technical supremacy, but in overall you
are right, the result will be the same : more and more taxes will make our best
people flee to USA or elswhere for getting better life and salary, this can't
be avoided for us.
In California, first most important community in number are Chinese, second are
... French, allmost all involved in computing. Awfull waste, but politically
planified so whe could leave but not fight against it.

In Belgium the total Tax burdon is at 55 % on incomes. 21 % on goods
purchased. Now they also want to tax capital gains at 20 - 30 %. Life is
realy expensive. If you don't inherit or are corrupt you have no chance of
getting ahead ... Now they also want to tax capital you won't even be able
to get ahead by inheriting... My 110 square meter flat is valued at 75000
Euro. So this makes property value aprox 700 Euro a square meter in Gent
witch is not a expensive city compared to Brussels.

shift work = more money
not able to take any real vacations = more money

that's worth a cut in pay. I worked for a company that put everyone on

Hal - Thanks for the input. I tried your suggestion - and it makes no
difference to the time taken to do things - but now it is the X server
that clocks up vast amounts of cpu time rather than XFS. I wonder whether
it's something in a lower level libary that both of these ways of doing
things use.
Has anyone else had this problem - or conversly: has any one got some
success stories about netscape on a 486?

My aim, it to use Pegasus 3.11 mail clients on win95 machines to access

You haven't been seeing the price of gas rise lately,

Around here, it's hovering around $1.60 a gallon, and that's
for the ultra-cheapie stuff. I don't know how many pounds
per liter that is offhand, though.
(Of course, living in the San Francisco Bay Area / Silicon Valley

OS, and the coonection was ppp. I set the display variable remotely with
$ export DISPLAY=my ip adress:0
after I telnetted into the remote machine.
I tried an insecure
$ xhost +
to get a display, but not even that worked.I got the error message:
Xt error: Could not open display <my ip address>
Has anyone else running linux come across this problem? Any ideas as to
why I'm not getting a display? Could it be a hardware problem? I have an
old VGA monitor and S3 graphics VGA graphics card.Any help would be much
appreciated.
