No, it doesn't, but there are sound servers which allow playing remote
sources on a local machine, esound reportedly being one. I'm still
playing with PXE, and haven't gotten that far yet.

Subject: LILO config on ide zip?
Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 16:10:06 GMT
I'm a linux newbie, forgive me if this is a Dumb
Question(TM)
I'm trying to install LILO to the MBR of a zip
disk in an IDE drive. I don't actually have a
linux partition on the drive (nor do I want
one.) The OS I'm using (QNX) doesn't support
booting off an ide zip, but I have been told that
LILO can be set up to trick qnx to boot. So I
guess what I'm looking for is what files I need
to edit (lilo.conf?) and what commands to run. I
just installed Red Hat 6.2 off a CD I got at Best
Buy - no updates or anything. Thanks

Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 18:32:53 +0200
Hi,
I'm a so called "Newbie" to Linux. Actual we have a Windows NT machine with
the routing extension (RRAS) running.
It makes some trouble, is expensive, etc. so we would like to kill that
setup and install maybe Linux.
Is it possible to have the following config with Linux?
We have an db server on our LAN with several clients to the database.
Around the country are several (~100) telemetric stations (there are also
normal pc's with build-in ISDN cards running NT4WKS).
These stations have unique ip-adresses which are also associated to the
database. To query any information from any station an tcp/ip broadcast is
send to the specific ip-adress. Our NTServer has an "adresslist" of all
ip-adresses with the associated phone-numbers and dials the requested
station.
Well, Linux is (nearly) for free and we would like to use it (there are also
some other reasons), but we need this feature.
Is it possible to handle? If yes, how?
Thanx for your time & help.

To get rid of that, try the command "tset". That will fix most terminal
problems. If there are still issues, try "stty sane". That has caused
extra issues for me in the past, tho, so go with tset first.

It is certainly possible to ask gnuplot to output to a file rather than
the screen. Output each graph with a common prefix, then sequential
numbers. (depending on how many frames you actually have, you might be
able to do this manually, or want to figure out a cute, automated way to
do it.) Then, use Adobe Premiere or something to stitch these into an
animation.

While I can not help you with the font problem,it is very likely that the
problem is related to the "disk full" problem.I have noticed that in
Linux,every application makes a hidden directory in your home directory.
So,login as root and go through all the user accounts witha 'ls -a' and
delete those that you find unnessacery.In my case,my disk was 99% full and
just by deleting the accumalated Netscape caches (at
$HOME/.netscape/cache/*),I came down to 50%.
Best of luck with your other problem.

mutt (text-mode) is pretty popular (and powerfull). It is
included in most distributions -- otherwise check out
www.mutt.org.
pine is another popular text-mode mail program (also included
in most distributions).
I've not looked at X11 mail programs for many years, so I don't

As I understand it
The problem is currently all your HD is windows file system (Fat).. there is
NONE left that is a free space to create new Linux partition. You have to
resize or delete the old one in order to create Linux partition.
In your case of having win 98 installed, resizing (or deleting) partition
means messing up your win98 ... so you either sacrifice win98 or spend $40
for Partition Magic.
Then, create 2 new partitions for LInux. 1 for linux native ext2fs ... it
boots from / and the other is swap.
Good Luck

The patches will _only_ apply to stock kernel trees, not
vendor kernels. The reason your dry-run fails now, is because
(as you note) that until patch started complaining about
missing files it had applied the first part of the patch.

You could do a patch -R, it will probably stop and complain
about missing files at the same point as the original patch
did.

You can copy Netscape.ad (under your netscape directory) to your
home directory. Rename that new file something like ".Xdefaults.add".
Find the line "*fontlist: ..." (way down) in the
file, and delete everything above that line. Search further down for
the line "Font for the Thread window ...", and delete everything below
the line following that line. Then increase all the numbers specifying
font size, e.g., change all the "120" numbers to
something bigger (maybe 140 or 160), etc. Finally, append this file
to the .Xdefaults file in your home directory. Restart Xwindows, and
see if you like the change. Hint: some sizes produce better results
than others; e.g., if you don't like 160, you might like 180 better;
don't stop increasing just because you get to a size that looks
terrible.

"mark as unread" several selected articles that I wanted

read that newsgroup, all of the previous articles would be

This capability seems to be gone from recent versions

I am trying to install wu-ftpd-2.6.1 on a SLAKWARE linux 2.2.1...
When I run './build lnx' I receive the following:

It appears that this is not compiling correctly... What is the problem?
Thanks

For detailed info on fonts, check the font howto
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/font_howto/
Basically, ou need to set the fonts inside the application. Different
apps do this in different ways.
As for netscape mail/news ... hmmm ... I'd suggest a different choice of
mail / news client, but I think you should be able to set it up from inside
Netscape anyway.

For text based email, pine's probably the most usable ( and yes, it handles
attachements ) . Mutt is also popular, and in some ways more powerful than
pine. Personally I don't like it that much.
For GUI mail clients, kmail is quite good. I guess there's probably a
decent GNOME mail client nowadays, though I'm not up to date with GNOME
apps. I suggest sticking with the KDE/GNOME apps for the most part.

Debian is not the only distribution with a source packaging mechanism, and
its source packaging mechanism is not terribly good.
