You need an IEEE-1284-C cable. I happened to find out at my local
CompUSA in the "we-don't-know-what-the-heck-these-are" bin for
10 dollars. You will also need a centronics cable (the 1284 ends
in a DB25 on the printer end) to plug in to the 1284. And possibly
a gender changer! Weird, but it works.

This used to work fine under RH6.2, but now with RH7.0 and the
ImageMagick that came with it,
montage -mode Concatenate -tile 2x1 file1.jpg file2.jpg out.jpg
produces an image of the right size and shape which is entirely black.
What do I need to do differently?

happened some times already. I can fix it by doing an upgrade (7.1
over 7.1) and this has helped so far. But I'd really like to fix it
some other way. Any ideas? TIA

fortune should be easy to find, but the others may be trickier. If you
can't find them elsewhere, maybe you should investigate Debian's
`bsdmainutils' package? That includes both calendar and banner. (Even
if you don't use Debian, if you poke about on http://www.debian.org/
it shouldn't be too hard to find the source tgz.)

You haven't had much occasion to try then. I've had trouble
reading Microsoft Word documents with Microsoft Word. They regularly
change the format. So you can't count on MS Word 97 reading
MS Word 2000. Few other vendors could get away with that.
I can sometimes but not always read Word documents with Applix
and Abiword. Perhaps I might be able to do better with Word
Perfect. But if the other vendors have to spend a lot of time
figuring out how to read the latest Microsoft format, and more
important for me, if I have to spend a lot of time searching
for some program which can do it, then that adds an extra cost
to not using MS products.

Agreed. Microsoft is the problem. What I'm trying to explain to
people is that with lax enforcement of anti-trust laws, Microsoft
can be expected to behave the way it does. We are not going to
come out ahead or even hold are own if Microsoft is not constrained
in its predatory practices.

Certainly Microsoft's commercial competitors are not going to
give up easily. Companies such as Sun and IBM are going to
do the best they can not to be dominated by Microsoft. But
at a certain point they will cut deals with Microsoft to
avoid being destroyed entirely. Apple did, and after
attempting to undercut MS with OS1, IBm gave up and did.
Don't count on the rest of the commercial world sticking by
Linux. What we have to fight for is open standards which no
vendor can corrupt to its advantage. A lot of this can be
done by public pressure. For example, every time you find
you can't access or effectively use a web site because it
is assuming it is being accessed by IE, complain to the web
master. But Microsoft is so big that in the end we need something
just as big to oppose it. That is government through federal
and state action. Note that this is not big government interfering
with the market. It is us through our
government insisting that the market
operate so competitors are not frozen out.

If you get hold of a Linux distribution such as RedHat or Suse,
it should have documentation which explains what to do. It is
possible that RH7 has an option that will wipe your disk clean
if you invoke it, but I find that doubtful. Still be careful
about the options you choose.
The Linux installation is usually pretty straight forward, but
first you have to make room for it by resizing the W95 partition
(assuming you want to keep it). There is a standard program
called fips which comes with every Linux distribution which
can do this. But in some cases, the computer vendor may have
set up your computer so that defrag under Windows is not
completely successful. Since fips requires you to defrag first,
it won't work in that case. Then you have to use Partition
Magic or System Commander or something similar just to resize
the windows partition. Some distributions come packaged with
Partition Magic to facilitate this process.
If you decide to install Linux you will have to thoroughly
study the documental provided on the installation CD. You
may still not be entirely sure what is going to happen, but
you will be in much better shape than if you go ahead with
no understanding of what is involved.

I don't know how to solve your specific problem, but you should
be aware that interrupts can be set different ways. The
BIOS can set it. Sometimes it is determined by which slot a
card is in. It may have been software configured and then
stay that way. In principle if you do
more /proc/interrupts
you should see what the interrupts are, but that won't show you
all of them.
I'm afraid you have to explore all possible ways of setting interrupts
for every device in your system.

I never unpack and build anything as root, so I just tried it

Sounds like somethings seriously shagged, try doing the same

cd package.n-n then ./configure then make, and see if you
get any of those errors that you were getting as root, it
may just be a library problem or something.

So go download minicom from wherever, presumably the docs don't say

Are you sure that minicom isn't on the CD that your distro came on?

Considering the types of problems you've been having over the
year, it really sounds like a hardware problem, maybe not so
much the media but the IDE controller maybe. I've seen this
type of problem before and it wasn't fixed by changing the
hard disk, it happened again some weeks after so I assumed
it was a controler problem, (thank god it wasn't my own
