i had good success with staroffice (freem though very big download),
wordperfect should also work, there is also applixware.

glibc2 is the GNU C library, libc (required) and probably already
on your system :-) The "src" indicates this is the C source for
something, in this case "ipmasqadm-04.2-3". The "rpm" suffix
means it is for use with Red Hat's Package Manager. It is used
by Red Hat (and derivatives) as well as SuSE.
See:
http://www.rpm.org/
http://www.redhat.com/
man rpm
There is a program (alien) that allows conversion between package
types (rpm, deb, tar.gz). On distribution utilizing rpm, your's,
rpms can be unpack with "rpm2cpio xxxx.rpm | cpio -i -d".
The "i386" means it is a binary for the Intel's 386 class of CPU.
Usable on anything > 386.

Is it possible to upgrade from RedHat 6.2 to RedHat 7.0 without
upgrading kernel. It is only one chance for me because my kernel
(2.2.15-3) work with my motherboard with ide2 and ide3 perfect. Kernel

Thanks, folks. Good answers all. I'm going to give RH 7.0 another
chance as soon as I can get a guinea pig system to test it on.
I did an upgrade from 6.2, and I don't remember whether it asked
if I wanted Sawfish to be the default or not. Sawfish did one
thing nice -- it remembered where my terminal windows belonged
on the screen, which Enlightenment only does occasionally.
One thing that really bugged me about Sawfish was the notion
that workspaces are strung together serially rather than in a
grid. This means, if you want to use only keystrokes to go from
the upper-left workspace to the lower-left one, you have to
pass through 2 other workspaces. On a slow machine like mine,
that's annoying. With Enlightenment, you can key from workspace
to workspace, left & right, up & down.
I think the other thing was, I had to set up the keystrokes to
make it behave like Enlightenment. For one person, that's no
problem, but for a bunch of people, that would be a nasty chore.
I don't know what the deal was with X, but windows opened
noticeably slower. My users are all speed demons, at any hint
of slowing down, they'd be on my back about it.

Thanks for both replies on knapster minus a gui. I don't think I'll use
the napster version, which is a Java client that still has a gui (did I
miss something ;-)). I'm going to try nap first as it appears to be like I

DOS does the same damn thing linux does to boot..
the BIOS loads whatever is in the MBR, and in turn the boot record on the
DOS partition is loaded, which loads the DOS kernel, which loads command.com
the DOS kernel includes support for things like hard drives and
serial/LPT/keyboard ports
the linux kernel boots the same way except it generaly consults a
configuration file to know what to do after the kernel itself has booted
if you don't want to call DOS an operating system, you can't call linux an
operating system, because they're more similar than you seem to be able to
accept

Hi,
Excuse me, but I didn't find a FTP-specific newsgroup.
I has a FTP server wu-FTP with Linux RH6.0. FTP server
is fine for users that has like homedir /home/<user>.
However, if I create an user and point his homedir for
/home/httpd/html/site, it didn't work. I look at permissions:
/home, /home/httpd and /home/httpd/html have rwxr-xr-x root.root.
Then, /home/httpd/html/site has rwxr-xr-x <user>.root. Then, I
think the permissions are ok for <user>, right ?
Is there some file to configure to allow other homedirs ?
Something like /etc/ftp* ???

You may try these two options:
1. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2. When running configure/make use --libdir (?) to set the path

This kind of problem is usually caused by mismatched MTUs Do not set
the MTU or MRU for the PPP interface. If the ISP is stupid enough
to request a MTU for itself that's smaller than the 1500 default then
use the pppd default-mru.
If the PPP negotiations should fail with default-mru then (1) switch
ISPs or (2) set the MTU on the Ethernet interface of all boxes to the
MRU that the ISP requests in the logs (use the pppd debug option).
The problem might also be caused by denying ICMP type 3 packets which
are used in PMTU Discovery.

This works for me using a 2.2.16 or 2.2.17 linux kernel with Scyld's
LFS patches applied, with a recent glibc-2.1.3, and with fileutils 4.0
recompiled against the new kernel header files. However, it doesn't
work with kernel 2.4.0-test9, even with fileutils re-built against
the 2.4.0 headers. For both kernels, I used -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
or -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE when compiling and linking the fileutils
programs. Under 2.4.0-test9, a test C program was able to write a
file > 2GB; I just couldn't use `ls -l' to list its size. I didn't
patch glibc with Scyld's patch, but I don't use file locking in my
simple programs so I didn't think I had to.
I thought that the 2.4.0-test kernels had LFS support. If so, any
idea why the fileutil programs don't work?

Rob

I do not know, but I wonder how much swap space I really need. I have
512Megabytes of main memory on this machine, and two 127Megabyte swap
partitions. I seem to use 7 to 12 Megabytes of swap with this, so, as a
practical matter, 273 Megabytes total is probably enough. ;-)
On my other machine, which has only 64Megabytes of main memory, and two
127Megabyte swap partitions, I seem to use 5 to 10 Megabytes out of 288
Megabytes total. These are today's numbers. They vary some, mostly slightly
more than today.
I frequently see the recommendation to use about twice as much swap space
as you have main memory. This does not make sense. If I doubled the amount
of memory on this machine, with approximately the same workload, I would
expect the swapping to go down, not up, and that I would need less, if
anything, swap space on disk. In other words, I do not think the amount of
swap space required is properly specified as a fraction (usually greater
than one) of the amount of RAM. It must be that if a formula is required, I
am afraid it should include the total memory requirements of the maximum
number of programs that need to run at the same time. It could be a pain to
come up with that number.

/etc/passwd is your password file. /etc/passwd- is a backup. Usually, if
you update /etc/passwd, the /etc/passwd- is the previous version of it, so
if you totally screw up, you can cp /etc/passwd- /etc/passwd and get back
where you started. Similarly for /etc/shadow.
/etc/shadow is closely related to /etc/passwd. In the old days before
crackers, the encrypted version of a bunch of blanks was stored in the
/etc/passwd file, the encryption key being your password. Since /etc/passwd
must be publically readable, a cracker can just download your /etc/passwd
file and crack it on his own machine at his leasure. Once cracked, he can
easily log into your machine. To guard against this, most Linux and Unix
systems now keep the encrypted blanks in a separate file that is not
readable by the public, but only by root. This file is /etc/shadow. There
is some additional information in there too, related to aging of passwords.

The current version (1.4.6 or 1.4.7 ?) is considerably better. Among
the improvements IIRC was improving Quicken imports. I never ran Quicken,
so this information is based on their ChangeLog and my limited experience
doing imports using the QIF format from CBB ... your mileage may vary.
It's clear that gnucash is undergoing active development -- there's a fair
amount of activity on their mailing lists. The developers seem to have an
ambitious plan for further development, in particular features more applicable
to running businesses than personal finance. IMHO it's quite usable now for
personal finance, even if some features aren't as far along as I'd like.

Dear Linux Fellows:
I know this kind of question muste be asked million times:
I have due booting system for my PC.
I can play music under Windows through CD.
But If I use the CD player in Redhat 6.1 I can not hear the music, the
player shows every thing is fine, I also can hear it if I plug the speaker
directly to the CD player, But I can not hear through sound card.
I checked the sound card, it is connect to CD player. and it works under
windows.
Any idea ?
Xingzhi Zhang

The ways of doing that are in RFC2557 "MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate
Documents, such as HTML (MHTML)" :-
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2557.txt
Again, I dont know of any MUAs / filters that could do that either.

Subject: help with compiling new kernel for ibm laptop
Date: 13 Oct 2000 15:59:17 GMT
Hi Everyone,
Please help me with this problem.
Currently, I am running RH 6.1 on my ibm thinkpad i-series laptop.
The kernel is 2.2.12-20. I would like to upgrade the kernel to
2.2.17. Here are the steps that I use to recompile the new kernel:
1) download the kernel-2.2.17.tar.gz from http://www.kernel.org
2) download the patch for 2.2.17 from http://www.kernel.org
3) unzip the *.gz file by: gunzip *.gz
4) tar xvpf kernel*.tar
5) unzip the patch*.gz
6) tar xvpf patch-kernel*.tar
7) patch -p1 < *.diff
8) ln -s linux-2.2.17 linux
9) cd /usr/src/linux
10) make mrproper
11) make menuconfig
12) make dep
13) make clean
14) make bzImage
15) make modules
16) make modules_install
17) cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17
18) cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.17
19) ln -s /boot/System.map-2.2.17 /boot/System.map
20) edit /etc/lilo.conf with the new kernel
21) run /sbin/lilo
22) reboot the box
Everything seems to be working; however, my NIC does NOT work.
I try to start the CARDCTL program. The program tells me that the
/proc/devices does not have pcmcia. In the menuconfig process,
I make sure that I include support for my pcmcia NICs (I am using
two 3com FastEtherlink 3C574-TX because I am experimenting
Linux Firewall on my laptop).
I thought I did something so I went back and recompile the kernel
again. However, I got the same result.
Finally, I decide to recompile the kernel version 2.2.12-20 (the one
comes with RH 6.1). I was able to recompile it successfully with
PCMCIA support. In other words, everything works. Durin the
process, I notice that the kernel 2.2.12.20 has a directory called
pcmcia-cs-3.0.14. I didn't see this directory in the new kernel
(i.e. /usr/src/linux/pcmcia-cs.3.0.14) in the new kernel 2.2.17.
I really would like to use the new kernel 2.2.17 because I really
would like to enhance my system. If anyone has experiences
in this area, please help... my email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Many thanks.
