Instead of calling it expicitly, use source export_it-script.
This runs it from within the current shell, and allows the variables to
propagate.

Granted. But it's still can be understandable to those not technically

A small list of reasons not to use internal modems:

o External modems are only a few dollars more than internal.
o Internal modems are just one more damn thing using the
precious few interrupts your computer has.
o Internal modems take up a slot that you might need someday
for something else.
o Modems can get so confused that only shutting them off
will clear their problem.  You don't want to shut off your
server when that happens, do you?
o If lightning comes down your phone line (it happens) and
you have an internal modem, your whole computer is likely to
be fried.  With an external modem, you'll lose the modem,
but probably not anything else.
o You can see what's going on with an external modem.  You
can see when the modem is receiving, transmitting,
handshaking- much easier to diagnose problems.
o You can share an external modem between multiple computers
either manually or by an A/B box- again this facilitates
testing and is sometimes very convenient.
o When you upgrade your computer, swapping the modem is much
easier.
o When you finally get your cable modem, DSL line or T1 :-),
you might actually be able to sell that external modem, but
used internal cards are near worthless.

Yes, use "expect"

See http://pcunix.com/Books/expect.html and, of course, "man
expect"

That's the general solution for controlling telnet, but for
your specific question

There was something called "Swift" before. I don't know if it still exists. But
it's very similar to Dreamweaver and Flash. In fact. It can utilized the Flash
plug-in. And it's native Linux.

I played with it about 2 years ago, it can do a lot of flashy things too, but
never care about it. I use Easy Edit for my all purpose text, html editor.

So. You might want to search around for  "Swift."

what that usually means is that LILO and your BIOS are in disagreement over
your drive geometry.  How large of a hard drive do you have?  What kind of
computer do you have? If its a clone, do you have Award/AMI/Phoenix etc
BIOS?  When in doubt, change your BIOS to look at your hard drive in LBA
mode, reboot on a floppy and run LILO, then see what happens.  Good Luck.

There's a very easy solution for that too. :-)

Open/Free-BSD. ;-)

 cd to the ports tree, 
Just pick the app you want.
eg: cd /usr/ports/mysql123.tar.gz
    make ; make install ; make clean

That's it. Everything will be build from source. All dependency files fetched, MD5
checked, patched, build, make, install all done automatically, and custom tailord,
configured to YOUR machine; WITHOUT any baby sitting.

 And you can CVS to updated the source everynight automatically.

 Or do a make world to update the whole system.

 No pain, no mess. Start it. Go out, go to bed. Find something else to do. ;-)

.RPM sucks big time, anyway.

You know what?

Actually it's very easy to show a newbie how to build from source.

I showed my cousin how to do it twice (spent a total of just a little over an
hour.) And she was able to do it.

Her computer experience was limited to the Mac before her husband bought a pc a
month ago. She has never even installed a single app by herself in her life. 

After she seen me doing it twice, she tried and succeeded on her first try, and
her command was "Oh! That's easy." And she managed to install SuSE 6.4 all by
herself from scratch. 

The problem is all the media and "guru" hypes that make everyday people turn away
from *nix. Because they have to show off how superiour they are. Shits. They're
lamers. They insists on using the dragged vi and emacs, and such ancient,
counter-productive tools.

Those who insists on using vi and emacs have too much free time on their hands,
and nothing to do with their life. :-0

If I want to make my computing life miserable. I'll stay with Windoz, vi and emacs
on *nix. 

But non of my *nix boxes even have vi or emacs installed. These are the first
things I trash from any *nix boxes under my control.

In /etc/conf.modules :
alias eth0 3c509
options 3c509 irq=X
alias eth1 rtl8139    # change to "ne2k-pci" if this is an 8019/8029...
options eth1 XXXX     # whatever it needs

It is certainly not necessary to force your gateway card to be eth0
unless you want it to be.  BTW, those ancient 3c509s are pretty solid
cards, and yours just might perform better than the NE2K clone despite
its being ISA!

Do you think Linux distro like Redhat really any better than Windoz?

R = Repair / Rebuild
E = Everyday... or
D = Die
H = Have 
A = A
T = Turkey 

 Linux like Redhat is total junks. No wonder RH is now tring to get into the
appliances business, like cell phone. It's not going to last as an OS hack.

There's an option in the kernel config that says "Prompt for development
or incomplete drivers."  It's under "Code Maturity Level Ooptions."  If
you don't activate that option, then many of the more dangerous options
will be disabled.  HTH,
