There are control strings for this terminal in the termcap file, so I
assume they work. You may also want to try news://comp.terminals.

Hi Everyone!
I'm pretty new to linux, and I just installed RHAT 7.0 (the normal dload
iso and burn them and install).
However, when I start with GNOME (or KDE) the display is way too large
(looks like 640x480 would in windows). How do I get it to look like
1024x768 format?
Thanks a lot

Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2000 23:14:43 +0500
I haven't messed with Apache for well over a year - the last time on a Deb 2.0
box. So imagine my surprise when I install it on RH6.2 (using the rpm
that comes on the RH Cd)
IIRC, on Debian, the doc root was /var/www/ and CGI scripts were in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin ? This RH install put stuff under /home like
/home/cgi-bin and /home/html WTF? Is this a new Apache thing to
put stuff under /home, or is it RH's idea?
Are there standard locations for cgi-bin and www? Where? (I know that
Debian is more standards obssesed than RH) Did RH or Apache choose these
/home locations?
And I've read (in deja) about a directory named "apachectl" but I don't
see it here - what's that all about? Another difference among distros?
And do some distros call it "apache" and others "httpd" ? (RH calls it
httpd)

I had the same problem installing nmap on Mandrake 7.1, and this worked
for me. Of course this assumes "configure" was successful.

Since you have both, I'd appreciate it if you could expand on this

Subject: AOL connection under linux

Dear Linux users/developers
I am wondering whether there is any way to use AOL (America OnLine) system
to get connected to the net under linux.
If I can do this, this is very convenient on my trip.
AOL has extensive local phones to connect to the net from hotels.
I recently eliminated Windows partition on my laptop (i.e., 100% linux
machine), and one thing I miss is this AOL connection.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes and thanks in advance,

Hey folks...
I want to take one large (60-70 minute) WAV file and put multiple
track breaks in it. I've been doing this by writing a TOC file for
CDRDAO that breaks this WAV into tracks. This is very time consuming,
however, and prone to errors (bad typing, etc). Is there a software
that makes this process easier?
Windows has CD WAVE, which does exactly what I want but, of course,
it's only for Windows and doesn't seem to make compatible CUE sheets
that CDRDAO can use. If there's not a Linux equivalent for CD WAVE,
is there a Windows program that can make CDRDAO compatible TOC/CUE
files? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I need to be able to use apache to set up new users. I do not want
to run apache as root. I was thinking that a root-run daemon could check
what to do every couple minutes (from a database or flat file that is
written to by a user), and add accounts and edit files as necessary.
Would this be a good approach? Is there another direction I should be
looking?

Hi !
I would like to have Linux as an OS for Webserver.
Packages on the systems will be:
- Apache WebServer
- PhP
- Perl
- MySQL Database
Can you please tell me which Linux & Version should I get ?
Currently I am pretty much between Slackware 7 and RedHat 6 (I have
heard 7 is very bugy).
Please only answers from the experienced people.

I'm running VMware in Windows 2000 and have installed RedHat 6.2 in the
virtual "computer". My problem is that the time slows extremely in the
RedHat-box. It takes like 3 seconds in the real world to 1 (one) second
in the virtual box. Now imagine the problem reading the logs... The
funny thing is that I have no problems at all with responsetimes in
other ways, I can compile programs and so on. The host computer is a
PIII 600 MHz with 128 MB RAM (48 MB for VMware) so there shouldn't be
any problems, or?
Any ideas, anyone?

Subject: Zoom USB Modem not working
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 07:07:41 GMT
Hi,
I just got a USB modem to replace my old serial port modem but couldn't
get it to work. I have applied the USB backport to v.2.2.17 and rebuilt
with USB support. I still don't have power to my USB modem. I have the
UHCI, USBCORE and ACM running and they don't seem to work. The log
messages seem to suggest that USB is recognized but it says "usb.c: This
device is not recognized by any installed USB driver." when connecting
to the modem. According to Linux compatibility list, this modem should
be fine since Zoom USB modem model 2985L is supported and I have a ZOOM
USB modem model 2990. Is the model 2990 not supported?

Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2000 07:30:31 GMT
Thank you! This gets my command line in color. But that led to another
question: Is there a way to embed those escape characters right in my set
prompt line? What I'd like to do is have the prompt itself in one color,
and the command being entered in another color. I tried sticking the
escape character in like:
set prompt="^V<esc>[1;31m MYPROMPT%% ^V<esc>[0;27m"
but that just prints the whole string as my prompt without any color. Is
there some way to get this to work?
Thanks,
