the same problems appear in Netbooting Configurations.
i think the bootimages have a false offset or so for the compressed

i'm a new linux/old unix user who has just installed redhat 6.2
on a cyrix 686/166Hz machine with 64MB ram. it's not
top dollar hardware, but I'm still a bit discouraged by how
slow linux runs. using the Gnome/Enlightenment combination,
it takes palpable seconds to get shell window open, on the order
of a minute for graphical apps. is this normal?
the system monitor shows all the ram, with most of it (~55mb)
in use with no apps running. i don't seem to have any hoggy
processes running in the back, and i've got a 250MB swap file
(which, however, sometimes is flagged as FAILED for shut
down while halting the machine). the video card has 1MB,
not a lot, but it shouldn't make the machine crawl (should it?).
my last unix box was an old sparc with 32mb of ram and solaris 5,
it flew in comparison to this. is there something i should look for?
should i bag the hardware, the os, or both?
addendum: i installed with 32mb of ram, but doubled this shortly
thereafter; do i need to tell the kernel something about this? i figured
since the system monitor tool picked it up, i was set.
thanks for any tips,
jeph

Hi all,
I've just recently installed SuSE 7 on my pc. I've networked several
machines and they can address each other with no problems.
As soon as i connect to the internet i can't ping a particular machine.
I know this has something to do with the routing table on the machine
that is on the internet.
anyone have any ideas ???
Thanks in advance

You have to some updates to your mind and understandings before you can
go on. You have to read some more Dokumentations.
Ok, I'll give you some hints.
Be clear, what you want to do.
a) Mail reading/writing (online/offline) ?
then you will be happy with a isdn/modem internet setup,
domain names service (DNS) forwarder and Netscape.
b) do a own Mailserver on the Notebook ?
then you will have to setup:
Internetconnection, DNS Services, eMail Server EXIM, POP3/IMAP
Server ... much stuff.
I did this years ago with exim 1.x and my Notebook (Linux 1.x)
to keep Mail running on a big company (6500 Mailaccounts).
Was nessesary due a crash of the two primary Mailservers.
Exim & Linux did the job very well. None of the employees did
recognized the fault, because after break down and relauch
was only 30 Minutes.
c) a little bit intelligenter setup for your mail & news on your
notebook could be nice to have DNS, EXIM (+UUCP), SQUID, INN
configured for a dialup internet connection.
In fact Exim is a SMTP eMail SERVER. It's not a Reader or Frontend for
the user. Exim accepts on port 25 SMTP connections, processes and delivers
them. Exim replaces sendmail.
b) and c) are not for Linux novices. But are a fine starting point to learn
more to do this by your self.

most linux distributions now come with KDE and / or GNOME (which i
prefer) which give you the same kind of user navigation as windows,
with a few extras that windows users can't even dream of (multiple
desk tops e.g.). details probably differ, but the concepr is about
the same, so it shouldn't be very difficult to get used to (online
help, to the extent that it's available, is better)

if you have enough disk space left, you can install linux next to
windows on your computer, being able to chose when you boot. there
are also two systems available that let you run your windows programs
under linux: wine (gpled, ships with many distributions) and VMware
(commercial, about $400(?), gets very good reviews by its users). so
you can try it out without taking windows off your system

I installed older versions of RedHat Linux (before RedHat's installer
properly supported PCMCIA/network installations). This is what I did:
I got a copy of Slackware (3.4 I think) and did a *floppy* install of
the A (base) and N (network) sets. I partitioned the drive into four
partitions (I have a 500meg drive):
/dev/hda1 / (root) 64meg
/dev/hda2 swap 64meg
/dev/hda3 /usr 256meg
/dev/hda4 /home rest of disk
After the minimual slackware install, I got my PCMCIA ethernet card
working and used ftp under Slackware to copy a minimual RPM set (and
related support stuff) to the /home fs. Then did a RedHat install from
hard drive (re-formating the root and /usr file systems). I initially
installed RH 4.2 and latter upgraded to RH 5.2.

So, let me get this correct. TCSH was working at some point and then it
started to fail?
The fact that root can login and bash works suggests your system
basically there. It's only tcsh, so that means it's either
(1) there's a serious bug in the shell itself. This seems pretty
unlikely, given all the other people using tcsh.
(2) an environment issue. I don't believe any shell REQUIRES any other
file. The shells all check for an admin defined rc file and for user rc
file to be executed (sourced). If these do no exist, it will just
continue.
So I'll guess this is a badly trashed rc file somewhere.
I presume the first thing you did was to rename the .*cshrc files in
$HOME so these were not sourced. If not, do this. If it fails you know
where to look.
There's a similar system wide file (/etc/skel?? any other places?? try
'man tcsh' and see what other files it references). Rename these files
one at a time and see if the problem changes.
That's all I can think of. Good luck.

Yes and no.
There is no 'equivalent to MAPI' (at least not as far as I know).
However, POP3 is an established protocol, and it is not difficult to
either:
a) converse with the POP3 server directly (a well-known API), or
b) fork/exec a well-known mail program to feed the POP3 server with
your selected data.
Of the two, the first option is the closest to 'an equivalent to
MAPI', and is (in general terms) how most of the 'equivalent to some
MS-specific API' are implemented. (Let's rephrase that: MAPI is how
Microsoft performs their equivalent to the sockets/POP3 protocol
conversation.)
If you really don't want to give up MAPI, then you are welcome to
write a set of shell functions that encapsulate the POP3 conversation
in a MAPI interface. IMHO, this would be an exercise in self-delusion,
but might be worthwhile in that it would help ex-MS developers to port
applications to Unix.

That is possible. However, without more information as to precisely what
the problem is, it will be very difficult to assist you in diagnosing it.

Everything in your smb.conf looks OK, but I can't guarantee that. Have
you checked the smb.conf manpage to ensure that your options are being
used properly?

ISSUE REPORTED BY CLIENT
I tried installing [Redhat 6.2] but after the reboot

disable the CPUID. Any ideas please!?
POSSIBLE
SOLUTION
This issue appears to be related to a Processor Serial
Number function supported by Redhat that the Duron does
not. There are two possible resolutions depending upon
the status of your installation.
1. When first installing Redhat 6.2 (or 6.1) you will
be asked at some stage if you require any special parameters
for the kernel. At this point enter:
x86_serial_nr=1
Once installed, this parameter is already in the
kernel and there is no need to do more.
2. If Redhat was already installed type at the lilo
prompt:
linux x86_serial_nr=1
Once you boot, recompile the kernel with the: "Disable
Serial Number at boot" left clear.
ADDITIONAL
NOTES
EPoX thanks Alexandros Kambas and Thomas Leibold for

The Linux box is our product and we have develop some software inside.
I need to sell the product, but don't want the buyer can steal the program

to startup the machine.
Thanks for your reply!!
