I use lynx (or another text-based alternative, links) most of the time,
since I spend most of my web time reading news sites and things and not
staring at pretty pictures.
Why use something which is overkill for the task at hand?

'Edge' does not necessary imply 'line' as in straight line, of course.
If you magnify the surface of glass far enough, you'll see a pitted
surface. (Trivia: I understand this is how insects climb glass; they
don't "stick" to it, but actually hang on to the surface imperfections.)
If you can get an image of that surface such that shows its texture,
then any image with a high enough contrast would do the job. (Go to any
paint program, and try the 'EDGE detect' filter.) If you found a surface
that did *not* have enough contrast to find those 'edges', then you
probably wouldn't easily be able to follow movement across that surface.
Given current imaging technology, I doubt you'd be able to find a
surface that didn't!
Virtually all image-recognition techniques I've heard of, regardless of
intended task, have used some form of edge tetection.
Note though that I don't think Microsoft doesn'ty deserve some
recognition for this. They are first to market with a practical model of
this. (Note practical; obviously, any previous model wasn't.) I just
don't think they deserve the credit of actually inventing the thing,
escpecially as there is a 1984 patent on the concept.

Subject: SCSI ZIP drive gives EXT2-fs errors
Date: 19 Apr 2000 00:47:17 -0700
Trying to use an external SCSI Iomega ZIP drive. I can format disks
and write to them. The problem is, I get 'attempt to access beyond end
of device' and other EXT2-fs errors when I try to write a lot of data
to the drive. Moreover it appears that these errors are affecting
other drives on the SCSI adapter, although I'm not sure (I'm having
some filesystem problems.) I have read the ZIP-Drive-mini-HOWTO and
the SCSI-HOWTO. I don't know what a terminator (on the SCSI adapter)
looks like, should I worry about this? I've got two hard drives and a
CD-ROM drive plugged into the adapter, plus the external ZIP drive.
Relevant boot-time messages follow.

Who in his/her right frame mind would use an SMP machine with a generic
kernel?! If I bought an SMP node, I did it because I wanted extra
performance. To get any kind of performance and to minimize the size of
the kernel and to support my hardware, I have to recompile the kernel.
Compiling an SMP kernel is easy. See section 2 of the SMP HOWTO at
<URL:http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMP-HOWTO.html>.

Subject: Swapping MBs, do I need to do a reinstall?
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 07:55:14 GMT
Hi Folks,
I did a brain-transplant of a RedHat 6.1 hard drive into a different
system, the differences are:
New Old
233MMX k6-II 400
40MB Ram 128MB Ram
No Sound card Sound Card
So far everything works pretty well, but I can't seem to get rid
of the sound card references, where should I look?
Should I re-size my swap? That's a real PITA, right? I remember
reading that if you have too much (256MB /swap currently) it will
slow down your system. X-Windows is slow, but I'm not sure if
that's just because I downgraded my processor...
Thanks,
-Eric

Hmm, why do you compress the data at all, if you don't have an i/o bottleneck?
Or use another compression scheme, which needs less CPU-power, e.g. LZW aka compress?

Contact the next university to you, which has an institute, that deals with
development of integrated circuits. They should have contacts to make
low volume chips of any sort. However, this definitely would not be cheap.
Probably the cheapest would be the programming of some sort of FPGA, since
you can buy these boards off the shelf, but the programming is quite complicated.

You can add "uid=NNN" to the options in /etc/fstab, where NNN is the user ID

Hi gang.
My question is this: where can I get licq RPM's. I've tried
www.freshmeat.com and www.licq.org, but none of these
licq RPM works because of dependency problems with QT.
So far, I've installed at least 2 licq RPMs and 3 different
versions of QT, and I still can't get it working (I think it is
making my system unstable). Can somebody suggest where
I can find ALL licq RPMs and their dependency files in ONE
location? I've been trying to get licq working for about 4 months
now!! I am using RH 6.0. Thanks in advance

Hello everybody,
I have a Chinese torture with my disk. About every 10 seconds, it makes
a small noise that I would like to stop. I was thinking it was because
of update/bdflush making syncs and I changed the line in /etc/inittab:
ud::once:/sbin/update
into:
ud::once:/sbin/update -s 3600 -f 3600
No result. Same behavior. I stopped the crond daemon. Nothing better.
It is a Mandrake 7 installation (Linux 2.2). In my previous
installation, RedHat 5.2 (Linux 2.0) it does not do that: I managed to
stop that, but I don't emember how.
Can somebody help me? Or can somebody tell me the address of an FAQ
where I could find the explanation of my problem? BTW, is there a way to
know which f... process is accessing the disk like that?

Make sure the directory in each users home dir is 'public_html' not

I seem to remember some problem with that too. I have the following:
licq-0.75.3a-1.rh6.1
qt-1.44-6
qt-2.0.2-2
If I remember right, I had to rpm -ivh the second qt. When I did an upgrade
instead, I lost the use of some other programs. Sometimes what I do when
this happens is to make a link from the older version to the newer.
Programs usually do just fine. I didn't do that in this case and I don't
remember if I tried it.
I haven't had any problems with the system having the two versions of qt on
it.
I am using RH6.0 as well.

If you want to connect to a linux box via network and use the windows screen for

It works great. You need the vncserver on the linux box and the vncviewer on

Subject: scanning emails for (ActiveX) virii
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 12:18:04 +0100
Hello
We currently have several mass volume email server which run on Red Hat 5.2
and sendmail, we recently had an ActiveX virus sneak into NT network via the
sendmail/Red Hat combination in a HTML email.
I then installed McAfee and AMaViS, this seems to works fine at detecting
and stop virus attachments but completely ignores ActiveX attachments, what
can I do? Or does anybody know of some other software that can.

Which considering that what is now Lexmark used to be IBM, is no
surprise.

Subject: Can't set KDE login background
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 12:07:22 +0000
I have Redhat 6.0 installed and have been using KDE for some time.
Yesterday I decided to try booting up to run level 5. So after poking
around in inittab I discovered /etc/X11/prefdm gets linked to either xdm
or kdm depending on what is in /etc/sysconfig/desktop! Hooha ... linux
is great! Anyway I got the kde login prompt to come up and used the KDE
gui to customize the login prompt. I changed the user icons and the
welcome message. I even went in and changed Xsetup_0 to get rid of the
Redhat logo on the login screen. Everything worked! BUT when I tried to
change the background from the gui ... she not work at all. The
background remains unchanged. So any thougths? Is this a known bug or
what?
Thanks, Dave

Date: 19 Apr 2000 12:14:25 GMT
I recently bought a PC with a ATX VA5 motherboard. It has an on-board VIA
VT82C686A southbridge. When I first installed linux on this machine, I used the
default via82cxx.o that comes with my slakware distribution. I could load the
module with no error but I got no sound. I checked on device dsp, audio, mixer.
Everything seems OK, just no sound. Then I recompiled kernel and installed ALSA
driver written by you. The module could be loaded, too. But I can't find device
/dev/dsp or audio or mixer. The situation looks even worse. Could you guys tell me
what went wrong? Your early response is much appreciated.
Kenny

Or if u'd like to not change /etc/inittab, then u can type -every time- when lilo
prompt appeared:
linux 3
this one is for non-GUI login. But when u wanna login in the GUI one, type:
linux 5
