I use Netscape Composer to generate quick pages and 'pico' (or vi) to
modify or add anything it cannot do. I don't use frames because it messes
up bookmarking and printing (I might use tables instead). I use the Perl
CGI module to generate and process forms and other dynamic content. And I
use webserver directives for secure pages (secure pages have to do with
html editing).
Although, I have used Adobe PageMill in Windows (which messes up some
tags) and FrontPage 2K for the lone NT site I maintain (site was
donated). But I set FP2K to be Netscape 3 and MSIE 3 compatible so pages
will work with any browser.

As of yet, none of the distros has automated this process
to my knowledge. There's certainly no reason that they
couldn't if they really wanted to.
Sound modules were similarly "neglected" for a considerable
amount of time before distros came out with shiny happy config
utilities.

The overlay cards that are typically supported under Linux
merely supports the audio through the use of LineOut->LineIN
connection. So, there is likely no issue with your vidcap card.
Make sure everything is connected and whatever channel the audio
is supposed to be coming in is sufficiently adjusted.

The Web is not WYSIWYG.
So trying to generate web pages that way is somewhat absurd.

The only catch with this is that one 'visual view' of the
data is not definitive. You will likely have to test it
against multiple clients (assuming you are bothering with
reasonable testing) and quite possibly have to tweak things
manually.
Much like C or C++, a code generator doesn't necessarily
eliminate the need for you to understand the actual
language being used.

Despite my best efforts, I didn't make myself clear. I was talking about
using the visual representation to understand the HTML, not to preview
how it would look to anyone via a Web browser.

That's the unfortunate term used to describe an editor that provides a
visual representation. It's quite literally true, since what you see is
indeed what you--but only you--get. But Web purists mentally translate
it into WYSIW Everyone G, and so they miss the benefits that the visual
representation of information can provide to some people.

Subject: Fujitsu MPA3042ATU HDD
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 14 May 2000 20:23:17 GMT
I've got a Fujitsu MPA3042ATU HDD that Linux claims has no cache. I can't
find the specs for the drive, but I can't imagine a HDD, especially one
as new as a 4G, that wouldn't have a cache.
This is what I've got in my dmesg listing;
hdb: FUJITSU MPA3043ATU, 4172MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=531/255/63, UDMA
I've noticed that this drive, being UDMA, is actually slower than my old(er)
2G DMA drive, which has a 128kB cache, according to dmesg.
Does anybody else have this drive that could tell me whether or not this
thing has a cache? If so, is there a trick to enabling it? Is the drive
defective? It was just sent to me by Fujitsu as a warranty replacement for
another drive (like model) that died, hence it came in its original (sealed)
packaging.
Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure about other distros, but SuSE at the very least, since version
5.2 for sure, and possibly older, has run "updatedb" (among other things) late
in the evenings. Unfortunately, it doesn't run late enough, and it's a PITA
trying to load Communicator while your two HDDs are churning like there's no
tomorrow.
Some of the running tasks while it's churning;
Log file rotation/deletion
locale database update (runs 'find' across all mounted volumes and indexes
the entries. This causes 90% of the thrashing)
mandb updates (also causes a lot of thrashing)
There are a few others, but these are the important ones. While it's running,
you'll notice a process running find with a very long command-line. I've
often kill -9'ed the task and no harm was done; I just didn't have a complete
locate database for that day. Since my files don't move around all that often,
it's never bothered me any.
Check /etc/cron.daily for a listing of what's being run.

Subject: Tweaking NT: clear-text passwords
Date: 14 May 2000 20:38:28 GMT
In one of the samba help files that came with my distribution (WinNT.txt),
they suggest the following in order to have NT support clear-text passwords:
===============Begin quote==========================
Run regedt32.exe and locate the hive key entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters\
Add the following value:
EnablePlainTextPassword:REG_DWORD=1
===============End quote===========================
My question is if you type in the ":REG_DWORD=1" also, or if you click on the
menu option below. The menu option below doesn't include "DWORD=1" explicitly, so
I'm just wanting to be careful before I commit either way.
Any suggestions?

I am a newbie running RH6.2 on a a stand alone machine and would like
some clarification about connecting to the internet.
As root I can use linuxconf to create a ppp connection that uses pap and
I can allow other users to connect.
As a user there is a connection tool rp3 that will also make a
connection and this tool allows the modem volume to be adjusted.
Can I adjust the volume of the ppp0 connection?
Is there any problem that I am not using pap with the users connection?
I have read that sendmail is not very "secure" but I do not know what
secure means. Can anyone clarify this?

Well, well, well,
I can't believe some of these replies... Linux needs to be a lot more
friendly to use before it will grow out of the childish mentality that it is
somehow a purest ideology driven OS, for Geeks.
Star Office 5.1 uses it's editor as a WSIWYG web page editor. It also has
(albeit, a little crude) a graphic editor for images too. I have created
several websites using a variety of applications - including HTML scripting
and my experience is that no single package will build a good site.
I presently use Microsoft FrontPage 98 to build the basic site and scan it
with a code corrector to make it HTML 3 compliant... I also use Front page
to publish to a Linux server without FP extensions. So... all this talk
about purist detail is a lot of gibberish... Why should not a good designer
use whichever tools they get the best result from?
http://www.linuxshop.com.au was built with FrontPage 98 and it works just
fine. You can even get you copy of Star office 5.1 there for around $6 US.
Some of the site's form handlers are done with Star, some of the other
functionality is done with Netscape composer... You might like to try out
Ayrena too. Open you eyes and see the world!

Would it be possible to set up a certificate that you can have for different
clients on the one server, or would you have to have different servers for
this to be possible...????

*sigh* RTFAQ! RTFAQ! FAT partitions have no concept of permissions or
security, so they are always mounted with all files chmodded to 755, and
all files chowned to the user and group who mounted them. Of course, you
can tell mount to do otherwise...
In /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /win vfat noauto,user 0 0
# will allow you to mount /win as a normal user
/dev/hda1 /win vfat umask=000 0 0
# will automount /win on boot and allow all users full r/w access.

Ports are used to build packages, much like srpms or whatever source
form .debs are called. "Package", in the context of package manager
refer to binary packages. I agree ports rule. They're definitely the
best way to install software. However, ports can't deinstall (without
calling pkg_delete), show installed package information, and so forth,
because it's merely a package generator (and installer), and not a
"package manager". Maybe I'm being too specific in the definition,
but that's the argument that seems popular.

Upgrades, basically. A proper non-fixed dependency tree, and proper
handling of them.

This runs under LinuxPPC? that's news.

You shouldn't *need* a "corrector". That should be a clue that the tool

The results are seen on the client's screen, not your own.

Core dumping happens when a program seg faults and dies. The idea is
that linux dumps the memory image of the program so the user can debug
and fix the program later. For most users though, thats not something
they want or can do. The "core"s in /root/ are things that root was
running (they get dumped in the working directory of the programs
environment). The ones in the apache directory probably indicate some
wrong with the server or it's configuration.
