I am a newbie to Linux and hook up Epson inkjet printer on
the parallel port in the Mandrake 7 distribution. I can print
the postscript and text testing page in PRINTTOOL
without anyproblem. Whenever I enable the 2 Pages Per
Output Page option, the printing output is garbage even I
disabled the Fast Text Printing. How can I configurate my
printer to print two pages in one outpage page? Is this
feature only available on true postscript printer?
Thanks for your help in advance.

The usual problem is a missing statement
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
in /etc/conf.modules. After you add this statement, reboot.

Quick question. I want to use the latest source for Apache on my
machine, yet I want to be able to use the start up routine utilized by
Red Hat Linux to ensure that my web daemon starts up when the machine
starts. Using the "ntsysv" command under Red Hat 6.1 you can choose
what daemons will automatically start. How can I change it so that it
will point to my new binary that I compiled from source in
"/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd" rather than the binary that came by
default with Red Hat in "/usr/bin/httpd" Does anyone have any sample
configuration files as to hgow they are linked to the different rc.d
directories. Thanks.

I've just been over to:
ftp://ftp.linuxberg.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake
/current/Mandrake/RPMS/
and it appears that GCC is part of the distribution, so I'd suggest that
something must have gone wrong with the install process.
If you're still having problems, feel free to mail me.

If you do a 'file linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh', you'll notice that
it's actually a shell script, not a gzipped file (okay, so it's a
shell script that _contains_ a gzipped file - but it's still a shell
script ;-).
Anyway, either do a
chmod +x linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh
./linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh
or simply
sh ./linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh

comment from me:
My ISP's on-line tech support supplies their scripts at this URL:
http://www.chorus.net/support/linuxhelp.html
follow the links to read the scripts they suggest for their subscribers.
This may not work for you exactly as shown because I understand the ISPs
all have their own internal differences. However it might provide a
starting point or format.
FWIW I have not been able to make these scripts work yet myself, but that
doesn't mean it's impossible, it means I am having the exact same problem
you are and I still have to learn how to use scripts :-)

Edit /etc/csh.cshrc; comment out / delete the line: limit
coredumpsize 1000000.
Then log out & back in. Now we have history in tcsh. I have no clue
why
limit coredumpsize should fail, much less why it screws up history in
tcsh.

Apache has its own startup script (apachectl) located in apache/bin. For
Redhat (as root):
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl httpd
cd ../rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/httpd S70httpd
Of course you should use the correct paths, and you don't have to use 70 for
what order your httpd starts.

My first guess is that your screen depth might be at
a level samterm can't cope with. Samterm can deal with
8, 16, and (I think), 32. But I believe it barfs at 24.
You can use xwininfo(1) to tell you the depth you are
at if you don't happen to know it off hand.
But do know that sam DOES work under linux, as does Wily.
I'm also using the 9libs version, and haven't had any
problems in 16bit mode.

Problem solved - thanks for the pointers raised in this thread.
It was still not clear WHICH rpm I needed to install, so I did an upgrade of
my installation & asked for all the development libararies possible. It did
install gcc but I am still unaware of which rpm contained gcc - I think there
is a command line rpm switch which will tell me which package gcc came from.
