ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/redhat/powertools/6.2/i386/i386/
has licq-0.76. But if your QT installation is messed up, it won't work.
Re-install a RedHat version of QT and then be sure that the environment
variable QTDIR points to it. The script /etc/profile.d/qt.sh
that RedHat uses to set this variable doesn't do anything if
QTDIR is already defined.

: Anyone (else) trying to run MS C V7.0, (about the last of the 16 bit

I've run MS C V6.0 (pure DOS) OK, as well as Borland C 3.0 and 3.1.
You may need to set the dpmi to a few megs, as well as the _ems and
_xms to a few megs. Tweaking the dosemu.conf file is all important.
Something else to watch out for.... A few compilers write temporary
files in the top-level directory (I know.. YUK!) so you may need to
overcome file permission stuff to allow this
: I'm getting an error from DOSX32: Cannot read
: file: MS32KRNL.DLL. Linux is 2.2.10 (SuSE 6.2)
Sounds like a 32-bit problem which is why I suggest looking at the
dpmi and memory stuff.
Some 32-bit code Does work in dosemu, and it can run full
protected-mode, flat memory model if you are careful.
Some 32-bit code (like from Zortech DOSX 32-bit mode) seems to fail
whatever you do, but it does use a lot of short-cuts to make its
executables v. fast in real DOS, so I'm not too surprised.
Good luck Dosemu can work remarkably well (Have even been able to run
Quake I and II from it!)

Date: 20 Apr 2000 12:59:44 EDT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Does anyone know of something that can recover data from floppy disks that
have been damaged in some way? I know of dosfsck; this isn't quite good
enough as it only fixes filesystem-level damage. I know you can dd
conv=noerror the whole floppy and grovel over the image with a hex editor,
but that's awfully labor-intensive. I know that floppies are the worst
possible means of data storage, however, the users here seem to like them.
I guess I'm looking for a Linux/BSD version of MS Scandisk to make dealing
with users' bad floppies a more pleasant experience. I already checked
freshmeat, searching on "floppy" and "repair" and finding nothing relevant
besides dosfsck.
(This is an NT shop; MS Scandisk doesn't play well with NT, and the 95
machine in the back is slowly dying... however, I always have my Linux
laptop with me. None of them write their names on their disks, but I've
found that finding out who belongs to what data with 'strings | more' and
grep is faster than trying to open .docs with Word on a powerful desktop!
Also shows you which files have virii--that evil VB code sticks out like
a huge manure pile when you use 'strings'...)

thanks for the response.
yes, i think the rtl8139 driver is what i need. it is offered on the
smc website for this card. so, i'm off to read the kernel howto right
now. since i have a dual-boot system, i am hoping that i will be able
to save a copy of the driver in windows and read the floppy in linux.
or, is there a way to access my windows file system through linux?

Subject: NIC NIC
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 13:38:41 -0400
Hi,
I am still trying to solve my PROBLEM, which is driving me ballistic.
Facts:
1. I have installed RH 6.1 server. No problem.
2. I want to configure it as a firewall (Cablemodem --> home LAN). I've
seen plenty of docs, shouldn't be a problem.
3. Problem (but wait...): I can't get myIP from the Cable ISP (DHCP
server). That's a standard problem, I know.
Specifics (HW):
1. eth0 is an ALN-101 (PnP which I have to setup manually, for the time
being, with isapnp, modprobe). I can do that, it works.
2. eth1 is a Novel NE2000. I can configure it manually to 192.168.1.1.
it works.
Specifics (setup):
NO Problem: with eth0 ALONE in the box, everything works fine. I can
connect to the Net via dhcp. (I tried both pump and dhcpcd in the ifup
script). I tried to watch the data stream with tcpdump, and it looks
fine.
BIG problem:
1. with _both_ NICs physically present, neither pump, nor dhcpcd returns
the IP from the DHCP server (ISP). I can see (modem lights, and tcpdump)
the request going out to the cable: looks fine. Then the receive light
flashes back briefly, but tcpdump receives nothing, and... you guessed
it I get no IP (and no satisfaction!)
2. I tried all the tricks suggested in various discussion groups and in
the Bug reports for pump. (turn off/reset the modem, change
pump<->dhcpcd, newer versions,...), What else ?
OTHER:
with the same box (same NICs, different SCSI-HD) running NT 3.51 with
both NICs in, I can connect to the Net, no problem. Hence, I do NOT have
a hardware interference between the NICs. (right?)
Conclusions:
1. Since I can setup the Linux box with 1 NIC, I have no DHCP protocol
problem with my ISP (right?)
2. Since the Linux box recognizes both eth0 and eth1 (albeit manually,
at this point) as confirmed by ifconfig -a, I have no driver problem,
i.e. ne.o works OK as defined by my aliases in /etc/conf.modules
(right?)
My shortcomings:
1. I don't know how to get more info on the pump/dhcpcd failures, in the
2 NICs situation. Can you suggest ways to debug the access to the NIC ?
of the pump/dhcpcd modules ? of whatever else comes into play at that
time ?
2. It really looks like something is preventing the response from the
DHCP server to get through eth0 when eth1 is physically present in the
box. what ? why ?
3. This does not seem to be neither an Ether, nor a dhcp problem; or
it's both; or it's...
4. frankly I am not that surefooted at this low-level stuff in Linux.
But some pointers to some good tools and docs (incl. dumb and dumber)
would be welcome. I don't expect YOU to fix my problem; but that
d/f...d/g box is too heavy for me to throw out the window!
Any suggestion ?
TIA

Subject: Contents of RPMS? Source of variables?
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 17:30:21 GMT
I'm trying to do a minimal install of RedHat 6.1 i386.
I added a few packages I found I needed.
Now, in an attempt to compile a particular device driver,
I find that the sources for something are missing.
Is there any resource which will tell me which files
I can find in which RPM or SRPM?
Specifically, I need to find some stuff related to SMP
which isn't in kernel-smp-...rpm.
The exact error message I am getting while trying to compile
my device driver is...
> make
gcc -D__KERNEL__ _DMODULE -DLINUX -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -I/usr/include -I.
-D__SMP__ -DMODVERSIONS -O2 -pipe -c e100.c -o e100_main.o
/usr/include/asm/smp.h: In function 'hard_smp_processor_id';
In file included from /usr/include/linux/smp.h:11,

function)
make: *** [e100_main.o] Error 1
This is the device driver for the Intel Pro 100+ Management NIC.
Maybe I don't need it, but I would still like to know if there is
a resource which would tell me where something like APIC_ID was defined
and which RPM I might find it in.
Heh, I spent a while looking for gcc before someone in real life was
kindly enough to tell me the RPMS are called egcs.
Thanks.

If you are not making these files and the system is connected to the
internet, I would say that your system has been CRACKED and someone is
running a webserver (httpd) on your system. If you find that this is the
case then I would suggest a clean install of everything. This is the
only way to be sure that no changed files and/or backdoors were missed.
Then tighten security on your system. I would also raise the allowed
minimum length of passwords.

I am going to install Debian and right now I have Slackware. One of
the questions I have not found a straight answer to is this one:
I am a home user, I'm not planning to make my box a web server or news
server. I'm going to use it for software development, normal
applications, browse the internet and to play games. Can somebody tell
me what are the normal size requirements for the partitions, and if
you can recommend where to split off the directory tree structure (ie.
mount points). I have 5 GB for Linux (out of a 20 GB disk), including
for the swap partition.
Right now on slackware I have:
hda5 329.02 MB swap
hda6 271.44 /
hda7 4647.29 /usr
I have read the how-to's that explain about partitions, and the only
example is about a little 386 that is going to be used as a news
server in a 800 MB HD. :(
Should I put my /home directory on another partition, can somebody
tell me their configuration, or direct me to a how-to where I can get
some answers.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know about that; if you use proxy servers and no masquerading,
then your internal computers will all be safe except for the proxy,
as they can be directly addressed, nor do they have a direct
connection. It's also easier to set up.
Of course, if your proxy is on a Windows computer, security is another
story.
You will need masquerading, however, if you want to check your mail

Several posibilities come to mind:
1) Manual method (assuming that you install the old disk as /dev/hdb and
primary partition is 1)
- put the old server disk into the new server disk
- mount the old disk under a temp mount (like #mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1
/tmp_mnt)
- #cp -R /tmp_mnt/<insert old directory tree here> <insert new directory tree
here>
- optionally use #tar -cf - /tmp_mnt/<insert old directory tree here> | tar
-xf - -C <insert new root of new directory tree here>
2) Look up the man page for rcp for copying directory structure from machine
to machine
3) use tar in conjunction with rcp and rcmd

The thing is, though, that this doesn't really work to separate the
editing from WYSIWIG; what if you were working on a document which is
to be printed in colour and is to have squiggly underlining? So
is this such a brilliant innovation anyway?
What you _really_ need is to have a spelling error underline which
colour cycles; this won't appear on paper, so an operator can tell the
difference.
But who needs Word anyway when there's latex?

If you really are using a single twisted pair between 2 10baseT nics it's a
wonder that you're getting any transfer at all. 10baseT requires 2 twisted pairs
for connectivity.
Also, since you're connecting directly between machines, you have to make sure
you're using a true crossover RJ45 set:
1----->3
2----->6

Because no one who runs a news server has seen fit relay it.

Then set up a local mail->news gateway (or get a better MUA).

Subject: Changing screen resolution on Redhat-SPARC?
Date: 20 Apr 2000 18:34:34 GMT
Hi, I've installed Redhat-SPARC 6.1 on a Sun Classic. I'm using the Xsun
server which comes with XFree86. I can't change the default screen resolution
of 1152x900. I want to run at a lower resolution of 1024x768 but there doesn't
seem to be anything I can do. Any resolution information in
/etc/X11/XF86Config is completely ignored. If anyone has been successful or if
you've got any information I'd like to hear about it.
I've posted previously to linux newsgroups but to no avail. I'm getting rather
desperate now since the box is practically unusable to me on such a high
resolution on a small screen.
Thanks.

How does linux perform as a mail server? Is it stable? Security is not
necessarily an issue, as we will be using a security appliance to connect
our VPN tunnels. I haven't dealt much with Linux, and I wondering if this
is viable solution for a customer who doesn't have a lot spend for a mail
server.

Actually, it's very cool for someone to be able to run his/her own copy of
linux on some VERY expensive hardware.
Instead of being assimilated (a la the Borg), it's more of an Amtrak
railroad trip with your own sleeper car attached.
