Unfortunately, there is no cut-n-paste between most other apps and
Netscape. I do not believe this is a shortcoming of Netscape though. I
believe the issue lies in cut-n-paste in general between KDE and non-KDE
apps.
I have been able to do a limited workaround at times by opening the file I
want to cut from in Netscape Composer, copying it to the Netscape
"clipboard" and then pasting in another area of Netscape. This is not the
most elegant work around but it works in a lot cases for me.
I don't believe there is a global clipboard like there is in Windows. If
there is, then Netscape doesn't use it. That would be an interesting
question to post to the NG.

Oh Bullwinkle!
1. Select an area from window A using the left mouse button
2. In window B press the middle mouse button [1]
The text that you cut from window A has been copied to window B
at the cursor. This will work anytime in X, even if your not using
one of those bloated desktop managers.
[1] if your using a two-button mouse, you will need to press left
and right mouse buttons simultaniously.

Did you enabled encrypted passwords in smb.conf? NT uses them, Samba does
not by default. Also use smbpasswd to add users to Samba.

You should install LILO in Linux's boot partition. This space isn't used
anyway. It also makes enabling and disabling LILO easy from Linux or DOS. Just
make this or your DOS/Windows partition the first active partition to switch
LILO on or off.
This way you don't have to worry about restoring a messed up MBR.

There were any number of schemes used to copy-protect diskettes,
most relying on some unusual sector arrangement or numbering.
One of the first and simplest (on Lotus 123) was adding an extra
(short) sector on one track, but later schemes were somewhat
more elaborate.
So you'd have to write a special formatter to duplicate what's
on the original disk, or else disassemble the program and hot
patch the part which looks for this unusual formatting.
As pointed out in another reply, there was one scheme which
used a laser to burn a defect into the media which the program
would then detect. But I think this was only used for 5.25"
flops. If you looked closely while rotating the diskette
media in its jacket you could spot the burn mark.
The old DOS CopyII PC program worked on most of the
software schemes at least. It would not be able to handle
the burn mark except by patching the code (and it may have
done so).
Copy protection schemes went by the wayside because legitimate
users were greatly inconvenienced (or greatly at risk) while
the pirates had it easy.

When you use extended partition you create a logical partition upon the extended
partition. You use the logical partitions device number when mounting, you never use
the extended partitions number. So in your case, when you mount the new partition you
use /dev/sdb5.
> Why aren't the partitions numbered incrementally?
> What's the difference between "primary" and "logical" partition?
This is for x86 Linux only...
Primary partitions are just normal partitions. Logical partitions are partitions
which are created within extended parition space. So if you have a 2 GB extended
partition you can create 2 1GB logical partitions on the extended partition disk.
In Linux it does not matter which you use, however you can only have 4 real partitions
(a remnant of the good old days) so you create an extended (you can only have one) to
allow you to create logical partitions.
So you can have 3 primary partitions and one extended. Then within the extended
partition you can create many logical partitions (don't remember the limit offhand).
I think there is a partitioning mini-howto, so if you need more info look around the
doc sites.

I _seem_ to be doing about the same right now. I've opened
this newsgroup yesterday but could not read all messages.
Then today, I opened it again, and the messages did not have
to be d/l'ed (except for the new ones). They _seem_ to be
locally stored on disk somewhere (probably consuming huge
amounts of space somewhere in my /home-directory).

Just consider wath 'auth' does: It requests that the ISP provides name

they would then drop the line, and your modem will drop the CD line
resulting in a SIGHUP signal. Running pppd with debug enabeled should

this is a gnome issue, only applications that are made

for a non gnome application, you will have to put an icon on the desktop
manually. The same goes for KDE applications. read the GNOME help.

there is RedHat 6.1 and Mandrake 7, both with newer versions of many

there is Wordperfect for linux, applixware, staroffice and soon there
will be KDE 2 KOffice. But none of them is as yet offers the full
functionality of MS Office. Since most of this functionality is

there are few but IMHO, a console file browser like mc, ( open a console and
type mc) is, after a day of use, much faster , easier, and more
functional than any GUI tool. mc treats your archives as transparent
directories much better than winzip. It knows
most widely used archives and
you can teach it how to access the others.
Enjoy

use fdisk to create another swap partition, than edit /etc/fstab

I have still some questions.
Your command find / -exec grep ........ works fine but:
there are millions of rows and most of them are named XXXX is a directory.
Is there any chance to avoid them and only get the results/hits and with
the whole path shown.
The main problem that I have is that I have to find a certain string (for
example a telnumber) from the whole harddisk. I don�t know the name of the
file and therefore the whole search is massive.
hopefully You understand my problem

Not sure how to access win98. Probably mount the drive with -t parameter,
vfat isn't it?
try mount /dev/hdd /mnt/win98 -t vfat
where hdd is your drive containing win98.
Anyways, mounting floppy:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
where /dev/fd0 is your first floppy drive (A:), and /mnt/floppy is the mount
point. Note you can mount the floppy anywhere you like, but using
/mnt/floppy as a mount point of all floppys works quite well..

:Question: How do I get rid of these files?
With the file system unmounted (or mounted read-only), run "debugfs -w
/dev/hda5" and use the "clri" command to zero out the munged inodes.
Then do an fsck to clean up the minor file system inconsistency that
results.
