145W?! Ye Gods, that's wimpy. I vividly remember fitting a tape streamer
to an old Acer machine with 145W supply. When I switched the machine on
the power supply failed with a FLASH-BANG!!. According to my (then)

I have linux redhat 6.2 and kde

but suppose I remove the .netscape directory , the browser starts up

Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 20:55:54 +0200
Hello!
I'm very happy that Linux can run on slow computers - it runs very fast on
my P75 and quite well even on old 386 (that I have for experimental
purposes)
But there's one think that troubles me - I can't find a suitable web
browser. Netscape Navigator seems to be the best choice, but it has many
problems with fonts. When I choose Type1 fonts, the text is too small and
there's no way to make it bigger (the only sizes it offers are 12 and 0).
When I choose the other fonts, it looks very ugly and it's almost impossible
to read it. Some pages are trying to set their own fonts and this results in
very small text impossible to read...
I've tried some other browsers - most of them were experimental and almost
useless, and Mozilla which looks good needs much better computer (than P75)
What shall I do? Is there a sollution? Do I have to buy faster computer just
for browsing the web? Please help me!
Thank you

If you know how the ISP is doing the authentication it's not too bad. Some
ISPs do tricky things, such as prefixing or appending to your account name
or password. For example, when I logon to Worldshare from Linux I have to
login as "i.wshr.myaccount".

Add a line to /etc/fstab that looks something like this
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat defaults 0 0
Make sure you have an empty /windows directory (you can change
/windows to anythin you like -- a lot of people use /c).
Then it will get mounted next time you boot. Or, you can mount
it right away by doing (as root)
# mount /windows

Most applications will work just fine when you upgrade the kernel from
2.2.x to 2.4.x. The only exceptions are applications that directly
manipulate kernel data structures or directly access the hardware, like
the Thinkpad Control utilities (tpctl and ntpctl). Those applications
will ahve to be recompiled against the 2.4.x kernel headers, which is
slightly annoying, but really no big deal. Things like Netscape, xterm,
X-servers, all the KDE and GNOME things I've tried, and even Oracle
won't even notice the difference between 2.2 and 2.4.
There's a problem with cdrecord and 2.4.x, which can be easily
fixed by adding the following line to /etc/fstab:
none /var/shm shm exec,dev,suid,rw 0 0
(You must "mkdir /var/shm" if that mount point doesn't exist already.)
I haven't seen any other incompatibilities.

Add the following line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat umask=000 0 0
Change "/mnt/win" to the mount point you normally use for the FAT
partition. The "umask=000" will let all users read and write all the
files on that partition. If you leave that out, the FAT partition will
have all files owned by root, and only root will be able to write to
those files. HTH,

This does _not_ work. I tried:
mm hh * * * lynx -term=vt100 www.siue.edu
got "Your terminal lacks ... the cursor"
This was on a Linux-box running TurboLinux 6.0,
lynx version 2.8.3dev.18.
But on my old faithful Linux-box running MCC-2.0+ this works:
mm hh * * * lynx www.siue.edu
this is lynx version 2.7.1f.
Is this a lynx problem? Not being able to fetch web-pages via cron
is a serious shortcomming.
Could some other people verify this.

You may want to consider using uid=500,gid=500 where 500 is your

But how does one go about killing several (dozen) logged-in users? I had,
well, an Xterm incident, and long story short I ended up with about 109
Xterms loaded. I killall -9 xterm'ed the whole she-bang and my system
continues to churn away, but there are still most of these users logged
on. The solution I had before was to create dozens of Xterms and hit
"exit" in all of them. That worked, but I missed the last 24, and I don't
relish the experience of creating 109 Xterms and exit'ing them all.

I don't think anyone can give you a definitive answer to that
question. But I think it is save to assume that any application
which may not be compatible with the latest kernel will be upgraded
pretty quickly to a compatible version. The vast majority of
applications will probably remain compatible. Since you can
have both a 2.2 kernel and the new kernel, you don't really have
much to lose by trying.

I have been using the HP internal IDE drive for a few years,
and it seems more than adequate. These drives seem to vary
in capacity between 2.5 and 5 BG or more. It is by far the

If the hda1 drive is not being mounted automatically it must have the
noauto option specified in /etc/fstab. Just remove that option and it
should be mounted at boot time.

It sounds like your partition tables are screwed, read on. . .
I had a similar thing happen to a 6.4GB WD drive in a NT box at work while
installing an Iomega Zip drive not to long ago. After attempting to
re-partition it with disk-administrator and format it in another NT box after
attempting to re-install NT on the original machine with no luck, and then
attempt to install NT on it twice only to have it not boot, twice, again, I
gave up, brought it home, stuck it in my Linux box, ran fdisk on it, printed
the partition table, and lo-and-behold, the three partitions ended in the
middle of cylinders (supposed to end at the end of a cylinder) and were
crossed (over lapped) to boot. In other words, the partition tables were
fucked, and nothing I did with NT warned me about it, it just proceeded to
waste my time. I also tried fdisk from a DOS 6.22 system floppy at work.
Nada. With Linux fdisk, I just created a new empty dos partition table, exited
fdisk to save the changes, re-entered fdisk, created one primary, and two
logical dos partitions, took the drive back to the shop, formated it and
successfully and finally had the box back up and running after the usual
re-boot it 15-20 times song and dance routine.

I installed Solaris 8 x86 onto a computer with the following ATA disk
configuration:
Primary master: 3.2GB ATA disk with Linux (SuSE 6.3, but newer kernels
and patches).
Primary slave: 4.3GB ATA disk that now has Solaris 8 x86 on it.
Secondary master: ATAPI CD-ROM
I installed by booting Software CD 1 instead of the Install CD, thanks
to those who replied in the previous thread.
After installing Solaris 8 x86, I reconfigured LILO on Linux with
other = /dev/hdb
label = solaris
reran /sbin/lilo, and rebooted. When the LILO: prompt came, I typed
solaris. Then, across the top of the screen, came:
Solaris Boot Sector========================================= Version 2
but then it just stopped.
Solaris 8 x86 boots properly if the computer's BIOS is set to boot from
D instead of C. What could be preventing it from booting from LILO?
