Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 15:59:47 GMT
Thanks to both of you. I have added "umask=000" and that works. Think I
will, for the time being, set "noauto" then presumably get prompted to
mount it to get the mail, instead of leaving the barn door wide open all
the time! Will investigate UMSDOS, as this is sort of a kludgy solution
on my part.
While I'm at it (I will make a separate post, but it's worth mentioning
in this context): Netscape is having trouble sending mail, giving me two
different but similar messages about being unable to open a temporary
file. This has happened before, then 'gone away' (go figure!) The major
changes I can think of are setting up a mouse wheel script in .Xdefaults
and installing the Helix version of Gnome. Interesting variations on
this are that: 1)this applies to my main 'user' and to root, but not to
a 'bare' or 'default' user configuration I use for testing, and ; 2) my
disk cache won't clear either. Seems like Netscape is not getting in to
the cache?

By default you can't. You can however take a look in your /etc/inittab file,
where it says:
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
You ca subsitute -r for -h to shutdown your computer with Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

I will post this in a Netscape group, but it may be worth showing it
here as well.
Netscape (4.51) is having trouble sending mail, giving me two different
but similar messages about being unable to open a temporary file. This
has happened before, then 'gone away' (go figure!) The major changes I
can think of are setting up a mouse wheel script in .Xdefaults and

this is in the XFree86 FAQ. :-) (Q.B1, Q.B2). Furthermore, as I
indicated, it is a good learning experience and (used to be perhaps)
somewhat of a rite of passage for new Linux users.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I recently installed a KDE 2 beta, just to check it out. It _looks like_
KDE took over my /etc/mailcap, overlaying any mime handler that it thought
it could cover. (If this is really true, it is VERY annoying - the kind of
behavior that you'd expect from some Windows software - which take over
file associations just because they can.)
At any rate, the question is: Is there an easy way to restore mailcap to use
default X values?
TIA for any help or insights. (Debian 2.2, BTW)

rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/bin/xlock

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
make mrproper is the _first_ step ( but only if you compiled a kernel
before, to clean ab any stale files ( files that were created during
the compilation process.)
So you need to use your CD-Rom to start up linux again and then do the
whole compile process again with make mrproper in the beginning :-)

The funny thing about those REMs in a sinclair was that that thing used a sort
of insane ASCII where the higher chars contained lots of things, from
semi-graphic characters to actual basic keywords!
So, for example, if you had a 0xF0, it could display as a "THEN", which was, of
course, something entirely different from the 4 chars THEN :-). In fact, it
*was* possible to enter any opcode by hand directly, only that it would have
been even MORE insane ;-)

in one of my boxen. irq sharing is not a problem. they're both using
irq 15. the kernel seems to find both of them without problems. i
have the driver built-in to the kernel. i do not pass any options to
the scsi system either.
you might try asking on the linux-scsi or linux-kernel mailling lists.

i recently managed to run mkswap on an ext2 partition, which of course made
it quite unmountable. e2fsck says that the superblock is corrupted and
suggests that I provide an alternate superblock (namely 8193). when i do
that i get the same error message. a direct dump of the partition reveals
that the data is still there.
are there other alternate superblocks that i don't know about?
cheers,
dan
