Make sure the directory in question is chmod a+rx. Also, any parent
directories must be chmod o+x, and of course the index.html must be
chmod a+r.

Thanks for all the help once more. Another post mentioned I can use a
converter to convert the rpm into a deb file, does this matter? Or
can I just use the rpm? This is all just very confusing and new to

Subject: kernel 2.2.16 reboot problems
Date: Sun, 11 Jun 2000 11:14:21 +0900
I downloaded 2.2.16 yesterday and found that my computer would only reboot
successfully about 2 out of every ten times. Upon initiating reboot
(shutdown -r now) the computer would send the appropiate commands, shut
down, initialize (light up cd lights, etc) but would cease there. Monitor
light would go from green (signal) to yellow (no signal).
Computer is dual boot with win 2000 and computer would reboot successfully
everytime with w2k. Not a hardware problem.
Rebuilt the 2.2.16 just to be sure and had the same behaviors.
Rolled back to 2.2.15 and everything is perfect again. Reboots everytime.
Anyone else experience behavior like this?
My computer is Abit BP6 smp kernel
dual 500 celerons (not overclocked)

Okay, I'ma wimp :-) but I'm looking for a GUI email client. I currently use
xfmail, but it is a bit clunky. The software must have good integration
with GnuPG, which xfmail does. I looked at Spruce, but it can't sign
messages, only encrypt them.
Any other suggestions? (No Gnome-only apps please.)

Subject: terminal emulation question or ...
Hello All:
I hope someone can help me with this aggravating problem. I'm sure it's
something simple, because everything else is working fine, but I'm
stumped. I suspected that it was a terminal emulation seting was the
problem, but various attempts have proved unsuccessful. Here it is:
I'm trying to connect to a NT-hosted library catalogue (dynix) through
linux (kernel 2.2.5-15) box(s). The majority of my attempts go through
a firewall (using ssh1), but sometimes I go through a different host
(within the internal network, using telnet). But the same thing
happens. I connect and login fine. But once the session starts all the
output is garbled (See below for example).
When I telnet to other (unix, not NT) hosts I DON't have this problem.
As well, when I connect with this NT host in question using a Windows
telnet client (with a terminal emulation of vt100/ANSI) I DON'T have
this problem, so I know that the dynix database on NT is working. I
suspected that the terminal emulation on the linux boxes was the problem
because when I changed the emulation on a windows telnet client to vt-52
the output was all garbled in a similiar way that I'm getting with the
linux boxes. But when I change the emulation on the linux boxes there
is no change in the output. Does anybody have any idea why the output
looks like this when I connect to my NT box from my linux box?
Example of Problem:
[joe@raven joe]$ term=vt100
[joe@raven joe]$ telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Escape character is '^]'.

hi all,
i'm trying to install Licq on a mandrake 7 box. i "make install" without any
problems, and then i have to make the qt-gui plugin. when i try to ./configure
that, it says:
"checking for QT libraries... configure: error: The Qt lib directory
/usr/lib
found by configure doesn't contain a Qt 2.xx lib.
Please check your installation."
so fine, i'll go check my installation. loaded up kpackage, check it out, qt2
_is_ installed. i had a look at /usr/lib, and the libqt* files are where i
expected them to be.
any idea what i'm doing wrong/missing?

Look in the directory /boot. The number of the version you
are using should be clear. Also, when you boot, the kernel
should identify itself. The command dmesg should show some
of the messages from the boot sequence if you booted recently.

I might be on the wrong track here, but I've seen others suggest putting
'noauth' (but without the quotes) in your PPD arguments.

Yes, as root run:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop image.iso /mnt/MOUNT_POINT
Then, you'll be able to browse the contents as though it was a disk or CD.

You should use printtool (if you are using RedHat). Is this a color
Epson? Select the 'uniprint' driver and then select the sub-driver that
matches your printer. If this is set up properly, you should be able
to print PostScript files directly with lpr:
% lpr x.ps
PDF files need to be converted to ps:
% pdf2ps x.pdf x.ps
And then can be printed:

Yes, the one in the Apache folder is "configure". However, the one I
execute is in the "src" folder. Inside that folder, you will also see a
file called "Configuration" which is used to stored the config detail.
BTW, What could cause this problem? Is there anything missing during my

Type in the command "uname -a"
On my system, that produces:
Linux knuth 2.2.14 #5 Sat May 6 07:29:45 CDT 2000 i586 unknown
The "2.2.14" indicates the kernel version.
Caldera has traditionally been consciously a bit slow at adopting
new stuff, preferring stability to "living on the bleeding edge."
Note that the "2.2" in "Caldera OpenLinux version 2.2" has virtually
nothing to do with the Linux kernel release numbers; distributions
tend to release on their own schedules, with their own mandates, and
with their own version numbers.
Components of them, such as the kernel, will have version identifiers
established by whomever is responsible for their ongoing development.
As a result, there's not two version numbers; there's a whole
barrel-load of them, one for nearly every subsystem you have installed.
- You're probably running Linux version 2.2.something
- You probably have some Perl stuff running with version 5.005
- There's probably some Python stuff, likely version 1.52
- Perhaps GCC and G++ compilers, version 2.8.something
- The list goes on; the command "rpm -q -a" would list version numbers
for everything you have installed...
Hope that helps...
