The other reason it's frowned upon is because people like me, who pay for
phone access by the minute are paying for these binaries (all of which are
unwanted).
A large binary can add minutes to my download time (which is why I set my
message size limit to 50k...).

Yep... When I was at uni, my munged address was [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't bother anymore, seeing as I still ended up getting spam at the old

For many reasons 'spamming' or 'binary posting' on most newsgroups is met
with a fury which would match the pits of hell. Usually for good reason.
But don't worry, we usually learn by being told off or seeing others being
told off. From this comes the (if you think about it) inherently better
system of sending a post with a link, be it ftp, http or whatever rather
than including it with your post.
If you put it on a newsgroup it gets relayed to a vast number of different
systems across the world, whether they want it or not. A link, however,
takes little space and only those interested will follow it and load it.
I have to sometimes remind my local users of this when saying "go to
/home/user/whatever.jpg" hammers our systems much less than including the
image in a system-wide email.
Not everyone has large amounts of bandwidth, and definitely not all Linux
gurus want to trawl through massive posts to get to a question.
The more succint your question the quicker it loads and the more people will
be happy to answer it.
As for email munging, it's a necessary evil in this day and age. I have many
instances of my own where a quite obscure email addy has been spammed.
Posted on a single website I have had email addys spammed.
If an addy is human readable then that's fine. If you simply don't want
people mailing you, that's also fine (someone trying to mail to the machine
I post from will have a job, but this bothers me not, I just don't want
newsgroup emails and don't post an email addy on usenet in my postings).
At the fundamental level: never post binaries unless it really is a binary
group; use URLs when it isn't a binary group; quote from previous posts only
what is pertinenent and *not* the entire post, and don't be annoyed if this
is pointed out to you. These rules are born from online necessity and to
make the transferal of information quicker and easier.
A long time ago I didn't know this but I'm glad someone told me.

Subject: Gnome Panel crashes at start
Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 22:52:45 GMT
Hello,
My config:
Linux-Mandrake 6.0
Gnome 1.2
Enlightenment 0.16.0
My problem:
Just about everytime I log into my system, the Gnome panel starts
crashing and reloading itself in an endless loop, telling me that it
detected another panel and asking if I want to start another one. All
the time its bringing up these dialog boxes and crash messages, to the
point that I have to kill X. Then, when I get back, none of my dock
apps in the panel are there anymore.
I've traced what happens to my ~/.gnome/session file whenever this
happens. It installs many session lines containing "panel" in them, and
trys to start them all at once. The only way I've managed to get around
this is to make the session file read-only. And it doesn't always work.
This has happened in an installation of October Gnome as well. I saw
somewhere that this is probably a bug in RedHat 6.0, which is what
Mandrake 6.0 is based on. Is this true? If so, is there a way to fix
it?
Please help.

Subject: Full backup/restore?
Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2000 19:06:50 -0400
How does one do a full back and restore of a Linux installation? I'm
going to try to upgrade Red Hat 6.2 to XFree86 v4.
I tried this once before and reached the point of preferring to
reinstall Linux rather than continue to try to get the upgrade (or
revert to prev version) to work. Not that big a deal since the
installation was just a couple days old (I'm new to Linux).
So, IAC, what I want to be able to do is back up my current
configuration completely, and, if the upgrade fails, just restore off of
tape so that my setup is completely restored.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I don't think it's an X problem. I think it's an Motif problem (It can't
handle 24 bit displays. Only 8, 16 and 32).
Now that it's been opened, maybe someone'll fix the problem in Motif.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your specifig question.
However, perhaps you can try linux 3 or linux single at the lilo
prompt. linux 3 should start linux in init 3 (terminal login). linux
single should start linux in single user mode where you will have root
access to your system. In either mode, you can fix your XF86config so
that when you next boot into init 5, it works.

Gee, I must have a broken version of Linux then. I use the arrow keys with no
problem. PgUp and PgDown work just fine and DEL and BACKSPACE do the proper
thing. And if you try to mount a CD BEFORE loading it, you of course will get an
error. But then I never have to type mount because the CD is automatically
mounted. You really should try Linux before bashing it. It is obvious you know
nothing about Linux or Unix.
And you still haven't retracted you statement about Linux for S/390 requiring VM.
This is just another example of your total ignorance.

Please stop badmouthing RedHat. RPM uses pristine source. What they
do is simply have patches which make it work better (or at all) on
their system. BTW this is what BSD systems do with pkg_add. Almost
every system has to make some customization for a program to run.
This is what RedHat also does. This is not proprietarization but
customization.
Do you know any program written by RedHat which is not free?
Nobody stops anybody to use rpm. Many other companies use it.

If you have them installed, the text-based games are located in
/usr/games. This directory is not in you path by default, so you will
have to either add it to your path, or provide the full path to the

It was moved to the 'powertools' cd in the latest Redhat distribution
I think. I think it was called bsd-games or something.

I'm afraid this newsgroup has absolutely nothing to do with your question,
but it so happens that I teach college English. You can find listings
of critical articles in the MLA Index, which is now a database.
Ask your reference librarian for help. Nobody is going to be able to tell
you how to write a research paper in one post. Isn't that what the
teacher that assigned this paper is teaching you?
