What about the epson Stylus 740? I've got a 400 and it works great but
I will need a new printer and the 740 seems perfect. However, the
compatibility web sites report iffy compatibility. Should I be
worried? Maybe I should get a 800?
BTW, my Epson 400 is awesome. No problems, no hickups & w/ a fillmore
inkjet refil kit, I haven't bought a new cartrige for a long time now.
That kit is awesome -- about 20 bucks for 20 refils.

[rest of musing snipped]
Every Linux distribution I've worked with installs a precompiled
version of the kernel, tools, utilities, and applications. Some
distributions are compiled/optimized for high-end machines, and
consequently wont install on low-end systems, while other
distributions are compiled/optimized for low-end systems and will
install on anything.
In order to accomodate differences in systems (along with complying
with the GPL), most (dare I say all) distributions supply (and
usually install) the source code and tools necessary to regenerate the
kernel. If the distro is to 'low-end' for your platform, you are
encouraged to recompile the kernel to your own specs. The same goes
for the other tools, utilities, and applications distributed under the
GPL.
Personally, I use the Slackware distributions because they will
install on anything, and can be easily and quickly adjusted to the
capabilities of the system. IIRC, Suse is another distro built in this
fashion. OTOH, Red Hat, Caldera, and Corel seem to assume a minimum of
a Pentium w 32M memory and 1+G hard drive; anything less and you can't
install.

It's pretty easy even for someone nowhere near being a guru such
as myself. :)
for i in M*; do mv $i $(echo $i | tr M m); done
This is a somewhat nicer method:
for i in $(ls M*); do mv $i $(echo $i | tr M m); done
I can't test it with ksh right now since I don't have it installed.
If it doesn't work, throw it in as a shell script like this.
#!/bin/sh
for i in $(ls M*); do mv $i $(echo $i | tr M m); done

Another thing. If you have disk with a valid file system, delete the
partition and create a new one, the partition will appear to have a
valid file system. This file system is invalid, because its size
would be inconsistent with the size of the partition. Therefore you
need to create a new file system (of format a partition if you like)
to create a file system that matches the partition.
This can happen with linux file systems as well as vfat file systems.

Depends on your purpose. In general the tar format is more portable, as
there are now about a handful of different incompatible cpio formats, and
although the GNU cpio version can read all of them, you may still find
unix systems which have a cpio that is much more limited.

Take a look in /usr/src/linux. If it isn't there, download the source
from http://www.kernel.org and untar it to the mentioned location.

It's the FM synthesizer on your soundcard. It may just need the memory

/sbin/modprobe opl3 io=0x388
0x388 is the most common address for the OPL3 chip....

Hard to say, really. I have the impression that
cpio is a much more powerful tool, in the means of
preserving links and special devicefiles.
I use cpio when makeing system backups to tape and tar
to make archive files (.tar) and simple tape backups
containing regular files/directories.

exact error messages would be nice,
you probably don't have the gcc/development package installed

Subject: Re: How do I get console messages sent to a remote xterm?
latest issue of Linux Journal explains how to use syslog to redirect messages
to remote boxes, you might find the article on the website but if not glimpse
over the article at the newsstand if the local one hasn't already that issue
off of their racks

Subject: Synchronising sendmail/fetchmail
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2000 10:54:15 +0100
I'm using fetchmail to pop our company email from our service provider -
works fine.
I'm also using sendmail/qpopper.
So far so good.
However, what I'd like to be able to do is synchronise sendmail queue
processing and fetchmail to minimise connections over our ISDN dial-up.
What I have attempted is setting up the sendmail daemon not to process the
queue, and then to use cron to perform 'sendmail -q' at the same time as
doing fetchmail.
Although sendmail -q works from the command line, it doesn't seem to work
from cron, though it is logged correctly as having happened in cronlog.
Anyone got any suggestions as to how I could synchronise these jobs another
way or why this isn't quite working?
I'm still a newbie but I'm getting there
Thanks
Andrew
