Subject: Source adjustment using .dif
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 21:19:25 GMT
Hi All,
I'm running a SuSE 6.2 Linux box and I'd like to recompile XFig (tex
collection) with small icons. Provided in the source package is a file:
'xfig.3.2.2.dif' which contains a list of all the difference the SuSE team
made to the xfig source code. Is there a program or script I can run with
'xfig.3.2.2.dif' as an argument which will make all the changes listed in the
'dif' file to the source code. I will then enable the small icons compile
option and recompile xfig so that it fits on my 800x600 display.
I've contacted SuSE support, but I just got the standard blurb about
"Installation support only" and "Would I be interested in corporate
services?"
My computer info:
Dual boot Win3.11 & SuSE 6.2
486DX4-100Mhz
40MB RAM
3GB harddrive
Trident 8900D video card
A copy of xfig.3.2.2.dif is appended below
Thanks in advance

It's a worthless 2c. Your opinion runs against the principles of
education and research. Go read, young man ... and thereby educate
yourself. Get used to giving references to the primary sources, plus
references to secondary analyses, plus indications of how you view
them.

You are, You are telling it you have a vt100, when you don't (or you
are telling it you want to treat what you do have as a vt100, when you
really don't). Change the TERM type if you have something else, or you
want to treat what you do have as something else. The appropriate place
to do this for consoles would be in /etc/ttys.
Then you can get to hassling with xterm. Hey, I use Eterm. That
emulates like you want, I think.

It'll do whatever you tell it to do.
The last time I saw linus pronounce on this I didn't follow his
wonderfully crafted argument, clear as it undoubtedly was to him.
As I recall, paper tape terminals were somehow involved in the plot.

There is nothing to fix, in most people-that-matter's opinion. There
are other bugbears with the same status too.

Subject: LILO malfunction

I am really not sure what this is, but I have seen it on multiple
occasions:
the computer boots and says "LI" instead of "LILO:" and you can't do
anything. I think you can take a distribution cd and fix it by doing an
upgrade of nothing, but there has to be a better way. Is GRUB a better
option? I think Mandrake 7.1 uses it. Right now I am using RedHat 6.1.
Thanks,
Jeff Davis
