In a nutshell, you'll have to edit /etc/fstab and add a line to mount
the winders partition. It will be a vfat type mount.

*LOL* Yeah, right. It tries to _pretend_ it is one, at best. ;-) Maybe
I should have put a ";-)" in my original posting as well. What I meant
to say, of course, was that he should use a Real Newsreader[tm] like
slrn, tin or gnus, instead of what Netscape thinks a newsreader should
look and act like.

Or Tcl/Tk (http://www.scriptics.com/). comp.lang.tcl is another place.
Check out <http://www.cs.utah.edu/~beazley/SWIG/swig.html> as well.
With the Tcl/Tk route you have two options:
Leave the existing, running C program alone and write a Tcl/Tk
script that interfaces with pipes or sockets.
Convert the existing C program into a shared library. Delete
the 'main()' function and create a set of C callable functions that map
to the various CLI functionalities the main() provided. I'm assuming
that either you have multiple programs with various command line
arguments (argc/argv) and functions or else you have a main() with a
simple loop (in pseudo code):
do while forever begin
write ('Select an option: \n');
write (' 0 -- exit\n');
write (' 1 -- function X\n');
...
write ('Enter option: ');
read (answer);
switch (answer) begin
case 0: exit();
case 1: begin
(* get Function X's parameters *)
FunctionX(...);
end;
...
default: write ('Huh?\n');
end;
end;
If the first case, write a (non-main) function for each main(), and
create a library. In the latter case, just toss the main(). Make sure
that all of the functions pass results back via parameters, rather than
via printf()'s.
You can get and install SWIG (download from
<ftp://ftp.cs.utah.edu/pub/beazley/SWIG/>) and use SWIG to create a
Tcl wrapper function for your code.
Bundle all of this into a shared object, load into a stock wish
executable and add a script to implement a GUI.
An example of this can be found on my web site:
<http://www.deepsoft.com/RolePlayingDB/Download.html>. Including
makefiles, sources, documentation, and everything.
Oh, to help design the GUI, get and install a copy of XF (should be on
the various Tcl/Tk ftp sites listed under the Tcl/Tk resources at
http://www.scriptics.com/). Handy little package.

Just a suggestion. Sometimes when one makes hardware changes,
one inadvertently lossens some cable or card. Try reseating
everything you can. You have to be careful because some
cards or plugs are very tightly in place and you can ruin a
cable or even a card by trying to forcibly remove it or insert
it. But clearly if you find a lose card or cable, that could
be the source of your problems.

Just choose cancel and continue. The rest of the installation

You should make sure you have the Anaconda updates for the
installer. The floppy images are available from the RedHat
website under Errata and also from mirror sites. The original
installer had numerous bugs.

I had the same problem with my netgear card. I am using Loadlin to boot
the linux kernel and when I booted to windows then executed loadlin I
got the same IRQ 0 problem. To fix this I now reboot into DOS mode then
run loadlin and the card works great. Make sure you don't just exit
into dos... your windows system MUST REBOOT into dos. That way windows
drivers don't get their dirtly little hands onto the ethernet card and
corrupt it! If you're using LILO then I don't know what's wrong. Are
you using the tulip.c file included on the driver disk? The default
tulip.c drive with the distribution won't work. Hope this helps.

KDE and GNOME apps can be used through eachother, as long as both their
libraries are installed. But if you really want to use it under gnome
only, why not using the gimp toolkit (gtk)? it looks nifty, and the same
as gnome... Take a look at www.gtk.org, there is a tutorial there too...

Hi,
Hey I'm a graphic artist, not a programmer, and still fairly new at
Linux.
So, I can't figure out how to make the postscript-rendered graphics and
pages I can make in LaTeX etc, come out that way on my pronters.
I have an HP682c and a Canon7004. All I can get is/are standard courier
printouts from the HP.
I do have the printer "drivers' (they're called "drivers" in 'Running
Linux' and a number of other info docs). What am I missing in here?
I can make a PS doc but apparently not do the last step, output it on a
non-PS printer. This is possible with a PS-emulator isn't it? Or are
those only for screen output?
Please, I'm begging!!

You will have to set up a printing daemon (lpr, lprng, cups)
and use ghostscript (ghostscript) to translate the ps to a form your
printer understands (magicfilter).
I don't know wheter your printers are supported by gs or if you can run
your printers in an emulation mode suitable for gs.

I recenly downloaded Gnome core and applets version 1.1.5, and I have a
few quesions on how to install them.
1) At the time, on the gnome web page, there were some special
arguments which you could pass to ./configure, if you wanted to install
over existing packages. I already have Gnome installed (I'm running
RedHat 6). Should I use these parameters, or just run ./configure with
no arguments?
2) Does it matter if I'm running Gnome while I'm installing the new

The /usr/local/ directory should contain locally installed programs and
files that does not belong to the GNU/Linux distribution that you use.
To recreate /usr/local/ you would have to reinstall every "external"
application that you had (if you're running Debian GNU/Linux that would
mean everything you've compiled and installed yourself and not gotten
from conventional deb-packages).
What I'm hinting at here is that your files are gone. Recreating the
directory structure will not bring them back.
Usually, the /usr/local/ directory contains 'bin', 'lib', 'man' and some
others, but it differs from machine to machine which is perfectly ok
since that is the purpose of /usr/local/ (it should be *local* to that
particular machine).
Rule: Don't do compiling and stuff like that as 'root'. The only step
where it's nessecary to be 'root' is when you type 'make install'.

I suppose I should have pointed out that the program I have written is
in Fortran. I know it's an OLD, simple lanuage; but that's what good
about it, its SIMPLE, being that all I need it to do is lots of
mathematical calculations.
I assume that I can get both QT and Tcl/Tk to work and make some sort of
system call to a fortran compiled program.

He may be referring to one of the default gnome installations
where if a user wants to shutdown, he/she has to give password, but
in the xdm screen there is a panel which allows *anyone*, even
someone just passing by, to halt the machine. That's silly.
I'd like to know how to easily change that as well.

Do you mean benchmark results here, or just the 'feeling' that it was
slower? Other parts than the CPU (like video card, hard disk
type/speed) might be really damaging your performance.
Cheers,
