Huh? Then what is this directory called ".xvpics" that I see in those
directories where I use xv to browse images? It seems to contain
thumbnails to me, and not just xv, but ee, kfm (with the "Icon View" and
"View Thumbnails" options selected) and of course xv use this.
kfm is actually not bad for doing this sort of thing... set the options as
indicated; single-click on the right image displays it full-size in
kview. ee or xv may be more to your taste, of course.

Just changed to 08. Be nice if they'd give you some goddam HINT about the
range of numbers that goes here, wouldn't it? Anyway, the cnn story font
was still obscenely small (I use 1280x1024) until I switched to 'use my
fonts all the time.'

Subject: help with ipmasq icq shell script - please
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 02:23:38 GMT
I have a sun sparc classic running redhat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.14),
functioning as a server for my internal lan. I have all the firewall
rules specified, and most of the client machines (win95 machines) can
connect to the internet without a problem. I now want to get ICQ
working. I don't think i can use the existing icq module cause i have
sparc architecture, and i guess the thing was compiled for a i86
architecture.
Anyway, from the ipmasq howto, the following example is given using
port forwarding (substituting ipvsadm for ipportfw) to get icq working
the manual way. I use ipvsadm cause ipportfw also is not available
for sparcs (i am not at all proficient with compiling yet).
#!/bin/sh
port=2000
while [ $port -le 2020 ]
do
/sbin/ipvsadm -A -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:$port
port=$((port+1))
done
When i try to execute this script to initialize the virtual ports, it
gives me an error something like:
Missing: [ missing']'
Not knowing anything about shell scripts, i have no idea what is wrong
with the command structure. I copied it exactly from the ipmasq
how-to. Can someone please tell what is wrong?
thanks in advance,

I want to install Mandrake 7.0. I am trying to decide if I should get a

dedicated second HDD for Mandrake 7.0. Or, do I save the $$$ and buy a

get an inexpensive system for around $400.00 with monitor. I figure with 2

at all. It complains that there's no valid drive on which to install the

Subject: Weird, really weird???
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 03:25:07 GMT
Hi, there,
I met a really weird thing on my machines.
I have two linux servers. And also, I have some files. I put these files
on both of these two servers, under different directories. I am a usual
user, i.e. not the root for both of these two servers. After that, I
wrote a bash shell script on server A to make some symbolic links to the
files I put. The following is the simple shell script I wrote:
#!/bin/sh
ln -s /the directory in server A/filename linkfilename
Then I put this script to bin of my home directory. Then issue the
script filename, it worked. Then I ftp this script to server B and also
put it to the bin of my home directory. After change the content of the
script according to the file locations of server B, I change the mode of
the script to user executable. Then the first weird thing happend. When
I issued script filename, the shell told me that it can not find the
script. Yes, it was. After checking all the modes and the file locations
in the script, I typed again. The shell still told me that it can not
find the script. Then I used ./scriptfilename. The shell still could not
find the script. Then I used "sh scriptfilename", it worked. I also
tried re-login, the shell still could not find the script by
"scriptfilename" or "./scritpfilename". I can say that the mode of the
file is ok.
Then I ftp again from server A to server B to get the script on A. The
more weird thing happend again. I just typed the name of the old script
after I changed its mode, then it worked. After changeing the contents
of the file according to the file location on server B, it still worked.
I really could not understand why the first time of changing failed
although the mode and the file locations are the same.
Any suggestion? Hope I say my problems clearly.
Thanks.
Davis

You have to edit the source of mc. I did a little hack
to bind the launching to a single click of the middle
button. Here's how I did it ( mc version 4.5.43 )
if you are feeling ambitious. All of this is in the
file 'gdesktop.c' in the gnome directory of the mc
source directory:
first in the routine 'setup_icon_dnd_actions'
I changed the line
GDK_BUTTON1_MASK | GDK_BUTTON2_MASK,
to read
GDK_BUTTON1_MASK,
this just prevents the middle mouse button from
being able to drag and drop
next in the routine 'icon_event' I changed the line
if (event->button.button == 1 || event->button.button == 2) {
to read
if (event->button.button == 1 ) {
next I added the lines:
} else if (event->button.button ==2) {
if (!dii->selected)
select_icon (dii, event->button.state);
retval = TRUE;
before the line:
} else if (event->button.button == 3) {
Next right after it says 'case GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE:'
I have:
if(event->button.button ==1)
{
if (on_text && icon_select_on_text)
{
icon_select_on_text = FALSE;
retval = TRUE;
}
if (dnd_select_icon_pending)
{
select_icon (dii, dnd_select_icon_pending_state);
dnd_select_icon_pending = FALSE;
dnd_select_icon_pending_state = 0;
retval = TRUE;
}
}
else if(event->button.button == 2)
{
gtk_idle_add (idle_open_icon, dii);
icon_select_on_text = TRUE;
retval = TRUE;
}
break;
Now recompile and use the middle button
to launch icons on your desktop.

I believe this stems from wuftp not being spawned when your connection is

can't. Haven't you checked /var/log/messages for errors?

Microsoft never released any 5.0 to 5.5 upgrade of that type (although I
believe there was a special upgrade _price_) and I can't imagine them going
to the trouble of putting one together now; I'm sure that download contains
the complete set of Word 5.5 install files. It's certainly large enough.
Ironically enough, that would mean that there's actually a complete copy of
Word 5.0 included as well (run "SETUP 5.0" instead of simply "SETUP"),
although I wouldn't suggest using it given its file-corrupting Y2K bug.

Dunno, I use matroxfb on my G200 and G400 (mainly for prettier consoles:
I still use the SVGA X server, since fb access doesn't get you
acceleration and the SVGA server does do quite a bit of acceleration on
the Matrox cards).
What works for the G200 should work fine on the G400: the chips are
virtually identical except for speed.
With the matroxfb, just boot normally (nothing special needed in your
lilo options), and use 'fbset' to set the resolution. This lets you
fiddle with it on the fly, and why VESA fb's should really only be used
by people who -must- use them: you can't change the resolution on the
fly.

Because on 'Server B', the directory is in a file system that is mounted
'noexec'. See the man page for mount.

Subject: ftp uploading prob
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 00:21:16 -0500
I am running Mandrake 7.0 and I am haveing trouble with ftp uploading.
I can upload small files (<3-5k) but when I try to upload a .gif file
I have 16k it gets about 9k uploaded and stalls. What it is doing is
it starts uploading at about 2k sec and then slowly winds down and
stalls a doesnt finish uploading and I have to disconnect and
reconnect to the internet to doing anything else on the net. I have
tried uploading through 3 programs (ftp, gFtp, netscape) and they all
do the same thing. I have also tried a text file that was around 16k
and that did not work either. I tried the same files on Redhat 6.2 and
they uploaded no prob. I was wondering if maybe I would need to
upgrade the kernal or what would I have to do to fix this.
Thanks
