To find info on how to setup NIS+ on solaris look at
http://docs.sun.com
For configuring the Linux clients

I had this problem, I downloaded and install Boot Magic from Power Quest.
It's a graphical boot loader, which is installed and configured from
windows. Worked for me.

I have a similar setup, win2k pro/mandrake7.
Windows -> 192.168.0.1
Linux is configured to obtain its ip automatically, and the default
gateway is set to the windows' ip, 192.168.0.1.
I enabled internet sharing and dial on-demand in win2k, so linux can
make my winmodem dials out if there isn't a connection ready. That's
all to it.

There's no such add-on.

I like "C++ Primer" by Lippman and Lajoie; I have the Third Edition.
You might also want Peggy Ellis and Bjarne Stroustrup's "The Annotated
C++ Reference Manual, ANSI Base Document" if you are reallly serious.
If running Linux, you might need "Using and Porting GNU CC" by Richard M.
Stallman; I have Version 2.8. "Programming with GNU Software" by Loukides
and Oram will be useful, too.
"The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup is a useful reference;
I have the Second Edition, but I believe that at least the Third Edition is
out.

The first thing I would check would be cron jobs in /etc/cron.daily and
see if anything in there looks like it is touching the clock. I don't
recall anything that fits the bill, but worth looking at. Also, the
system crontab in /etc. Since your timezone is -6 hrs from GMT,
something is misreading the clock/timezone info.

Hi Spectre,
thanks for your mail. That's exactly what I have been trying for hours
and hours and no matter what I change it allways fails in Linux:
1) When I make a symlink for the file "bookmarks.html" in the .netscape
dir, Netscape does use it but as soon as I add a new bookmark, and leave
Netscape, it removes the symlink and places a COPY of the linked FILE,
with the added bookmark in .netscape instead!
2) When I move the whole .netscape dir to the other partition and make a
symlink to that dir, Netscape refuses starting, complaining that there
was a lock file in the .netscape, but there definitetly isn't!
I am using Linux 2.2.7, Netscape Linux 4.51, Netscape Win 4.5, The
shared partition is a vfat type (not fat32) and mounted as vfat. The
mount umask does rwxrwxr-x and oid=root, gid=users. Netscape is started
as normal user.

NO abit BP6. It looks cool, a dual-Celeron-board for less than $150, but the
board SUCKS! It's unreliable and not suitable for computers that really need
SMP (servers and stuff). Every other smp-board with pci-bus must work. The
only thing you need is a kernel >v2.2. Red Hat 6.0 uses 2.2.5, so that must
be no problem.....

Some nice output as ... what ... graphics, text, PDF, PS, FAX, ...
Since the HTML grammer is not that complicated writing a lexer / parser
combo is going to be the easy task, but after that you are in big trouble.
Now there is the w3c lib, although I am not sure right now regarding its
licence (!!) or take a look at some simple browser like links. It is a text
browser and very handy to view HTML text on a text terminal.
For Java there was a HTML applet already at the time I last bothered about
Java; commercial IIRC. It really depends on what kind of output device you're
having in mind; HTML itself is childs play compared to that.
A real mini browser is XmHTML, a Motif Widget to view, well, HTML documents,
e.g. for a builtin help function.
Cheers,
Juergen
