You can do this, although I don't know what you mean exactly
under 'receive a message'.
Type this below into a file. The name of the file can be 'ishere'
or something, and run it with a user-name as a parameter:
#!/bin/sh
# is a certain user logged in ?
if who | grep -s $1 > /dev/null
then
echo user $1 is logged in
else
echo user $1 is NOT logged in

I've had th same problem on my laptop, time was set back about 6
hours. For me it has nothing to do with windows (only Linux on my box,
(Suse 6.3)). I suspect it has something to do with KDE. Since I last
switched to Gnome, the time has been correct (for about a week now).

The point being, you don't need to recompile your kernel to get your ethernet
card working.
These days drivers can be loaded into the kernel anytime using the insmod
command.
Have a good read of the ethernet HOWTO for some advice (sic) on how to get your
card working.

I already tried returning the chip to 550MHz, and still no go. I also did
happen to notice that
Linux is only reporting that I have 64MB of RAM, but in reality I have
128MB. Motherboard BIOS problem? I happened to notice that some other ABit
motherboards have BIOS fixes that include a memory bug that only lets Linux
use the first 64MB of RAM. However, since the VA6 is so new, there isn't a
BIOS revision of any kind on their site.

It could have been one of those things I just never noticed before because
the computer always passed the test. :-)

You can have more than one Linux on the system at the same time; I do
that now. For my teaching purposes I have a "plain vanilla" install on
a partition, and for my own uses I have a "tweaked" Linux partition.
That allows me to slick the teaching partition anytime I want without
messing up my own stuff. In fact, you can share the swap partition
since only one will be up at any one time. I don't have any personal
experience with OS/2 Boot Manager, but the one time I ran OS/2 on my
machine (OS/2 2.1), I believe I had LILO boot it. Therefore, I would
try using LILO as your boot manager, and boot OS/2, or either Linux with
it.

I have looked in the machine but the only clue I could find is a chip

Append "mem=128M" to the LILO command line (or edit append= statement in
your /etc/lilo.conf then re-run lilo).

Subject: Re: >1 linux on the same computer? can it be done?
Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 14:05:51 GMT
Yes it can be done, I have Win98, Slackware 7 (Primary), Mandrake (LUG
standard), Slackware 3.6 (Backup of prior Primary) and an experimental
partition to try out other distributions, ... oh yea, an image
partition for CD creation!.
It is very straight forward to do BUT:
- make sure you understand how LILO is configured and works.
- Or have emergency boot disks for each installation (always a
good idea anyway).
- Don't let LILO automatically configure itself on any but the FIRST
linux install.
- If you have one drive with multiple partitions you will have trouble
booting any installation over 10Gig (I think). You will have to
share the /boot directory on a lower partition with all the
distributions. Multiple drives of 10Gig or less should be OK
though.
Here is what I do:
- Configure all the partitions manually on the first installation.
- Install Win 98 first (if required)
- Install first Linux. Get it all working, LILO, etc.
- Install second (and subsequent linux) BUT don't install LILO, just
make the disk.
- Boot the first linux
mount the subsequent linux as /linux1 (or etc)
- Edit /etc/lilo.conf to point to the other /boot stuff.
- Run lilo on the first linux.
- Re-boot, press TAB at the LILO prompt and select the Linux to boot.
If you hit the 10Gig (?) limit, edit the primary /etc/lilo.conf and
change the extra linux installs to use a /boot on the primary BUT make
the root= to the location of the extra linux install.
Now that I read over this is looks confusing BUT like most things
Linux explaining it makes it seem worse than it is. It only takes
seconds to make the multiple boot setup.
Hopefully someone can clarify my ramblings ... if not, just ask
questions.
PS: You asked about sharing the /home partition. I would get the
next linux distribution up and running FIRST, then edit the /etc/fstab
to a shared /home (or other) partition. You would also have to
"create" the required mount points AND make sure that the adduser
utility creates the same UID and GID for each user in the passwd
system. For instance Mandrake and Slackware have different default
settings that could cause problems sharing /home.
Good luck!

Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 15:54:44 +0100
Hello,
I do have a small problem with sending faxes under Linux (Suse 6.1):
On my system, I set up a printer queue that outputs files in g3-tiff for
the purpose of faxing that I usually put in the fax queue with faxspool
and send off with faxrq (at the moment as 'root'). Well, the first
faxes (created with StarOffice 5.0) worked fine and they displayed all
right with the KDE Fax Viewer, but for no specific reason something must
have happened:
- using the KDE Fax Viewer on those files makes KDE crash (with partial
loss of preferences!!!!)
- an attempt with another viewer showed that letters at the right margin
are cut off, i.e. the page is not in the desired DIN-A4 format, faxspool
creates warning messages, but the file is faxed correctly (in the cut
format) anyway.
Any idea how to handle it??
A second, related question: How do I make StarOffice 5.0 putting the
faxes directly in the fax queue without calling explicitly faxspool from
the command line????
Thanks for the answers...

I think the problem is that with the Live you have to compile and
install the driver as a module and the system is looking for a standard
association like the OSS drivers.
However, I can't figure how to hook it into the system and all
