0.49.13 comes with a slang version called "sfte". It isn't compiled by
default, you have to edit the TARGETS line in ~/src/fte-unix.mak. Seems
to work ok on the console, with the PuTTY telnet client for Windows, and
in a kvt (with the exception of c-pgup and c-pgdn not working) but the
keybindings get funky in an xterm (hint: alt -> esc).
You can change the font and get a smaller window for the xlib version by
editing main.fte and recompiling the configuration.

There are three pre-built setups and it is pretty easy to switch between
them. A full custom thing would be harder though. Not having an online
configuration maker is a bit of a pain but I don't normally fiddle with
that stuff too much once I get something reasonable set up.
I'm still playing around with it (downloaded when I saw the previous post)
so don't yet have a good feel for how well it will hold up over the long
term. But it is in fact pretty easy to get started with for DOS/Win
converts due to the CUA-style default key bindings and menus, so it'll
probably end up staying on my system for that reason alone.

It sounds asthough you've got a problem with what linux is expecting to find
in the drive, it gets this information from the fstab file, the entry in my
fstab for the cdrom is as follows and should work for you :
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
All on one line, the fstab file is in the directory /etc on my distro (RH6.0),
you'll need to be root to edit it. I'd suggest you remove the current line in
the fstab for the cdrom and replace it with the line I've posted above.I can't
mount music CDs, but I don't need to as the CD player treats them fine and so
does cdparanoia.

You may try running sndconfig to get your sound card setup correctly that's
if sndconfig comes with your distro.
To mount a CDROM I su to root and do:
[sjlen@zero-pps /etc]$ su
Password:
[root@zero-pps /etc]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@zero-pps /etc]# cd /mnt/cdrom
[root@zero-pps cdrom]# ls
COPYING README README.1ST RPM-PGP-KEY RedHat TRANS.TBL doc dosutils
images oreilly
[root@zero-pps cdrom]#
I then type exit so that I'm back as a normal user again, and go to the
directory /mnt/cdrom where I'll find the root directory of the cdrom.
It doesn't matter what directory you're in when you mount the cdrom but
when unmounting make sure that you're working directory isn't one of
the directories on the cdrom (in any of your windows or sessions),
otherwise you get a device busy message.

This sounds like a security feature that's set on the Sco box, I'm sure that if
you get a shell session or an FTP session with that same box exactly the same
will happen. I'd also suggest that logging out of any box that contains
important information (while the terminal is unattended), is good practice, a
bit like locking the shop door if you leave the shop unattended while you go
to lunch.

There's a lot of documentation on this subject, have a look at the HOWTOs
on my distro in /usr/doc/HOWTO and /usr/doc/HOWTO/minis if you havn't got
the howto documentation you can d/l the HOWTOs and the mini HOWTOs from
http://www.linuxdoc.org
If you're machines are at the same location then you probably want a
serial connection so check out the Serial-HOWTO, there are many solutions
that involve modems, ethernet cards and weird and wonderful cabeling
the choice is yours.

You don't give any specifications in your message, newsserver is quite a
wide spectrum, but I'll have a go at answering.
For downloading for just a few users to be able to read offline than
slrnpull might do what you want, a bit bigger and maybe leafnode is what
you want, bigger still like say a private news server with hundreds of
users and many NGs and Inn is probably what you're after.
I user slrnpull myself for reading my news offline, it's fairly easy to
setup and serves me well.
There are more solutions than the ones I've mentioned here you just need
to have a good look around.

You'd have to d/l the linux version of any software that you want to use in
linux, and then move it to where you want it. You might find that it sets
all files that come from a FAT32 partition as executable, you can change
this when it's over on the linux drive with:
$ chomod -x the_file_name.tar.gz
It'd probably make life much easier for you if you could get an external
modem so that you don't have to mess about with moving files around all
the time.

and personally i am not payed at all. i am not in charge of a network of
any kind. actually i am majoring in philosophy. epistemology (theory of
knowledge), and messing around with my puter for fun.
i am not after learning 'good sysadmining habits' here. this should be
pretty clear by now lol.
i am after 'learning the system'. both common situations, AND uncommon.
you might see this as meaningless (even idiotic) knowledge. i don't.
one prominent feature of the human mind is that even the most periferal
piece of knowledge can show itself useful via analogical implementation.
and when i feel i am done with my experimenting i will have more
experience than the books can give me.
that will provide a pretty good ground for forming 'good habits' upon,
don't you agree.
perhaps i will have a better sense of how things are connected, what
causes what and what might happen when i do this or that (than if i
would have read a book on 'good sysadmining habits').
