Hello,
I would consider downloading the latest PHP (4.0.4) from www.php.net and
compile/install it,
as there are some problems with earlier versions.
The INSTALL file gives you enough info to get it done.
Good luck

According to my copy of Mandrake, it requires 32 MB at the least. Your 8 MB

Thanks. If I will remove the directory, this will be useful.

I really try to do that. Sometimes I slip. I just wanted those who
have read my posts to know where I stand. To date, I have tried to
help. Sometimes I'm not accurate or I misread the question. One thing
I will not tolerate is being called a moron for trying to help out
here. I've been using linux in various distributions since 1996. Built
my first IPMASQ/Port Forwarding box in early 1997. I'm a Novell/ NT/
W2K network admin and independent consultant. I'm not the most linux
savvy person on the internet, in fact far from it. However I learn
from my mistakes and from those who are willing to point me in the
right direction. I'm no linux guru but I'm certainly not a moron.
End of subject. I've said what I felt I needed to say. Thanks for your
reply.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
OK, I'm sure scanner questions get asked around here 500 time a day, but I
have one, and I need help. As in the subject line, I have a Mustek 600 III
EP Plus parport scanner, that I picked up for 15 bucks. I wasn't sure if it
was supported in Linux or not, but for the price, I couldn't pass it up.
Turns out it is supported. I installed SANE 1.0.3 from my Mandrake distro
CDs, but still nothing. Everything I have seen on the web about the SANE
Mustek backend is in command line language, which I am very new at. Is
there a newbie-ized way of setting up this scanner?
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I am looking for an easy to use/free firewall for Linux (preferrably
with a graphical interface, unless there isn't) for my company. I'm not
a Linux expert, although I reasonably know my way around. Can you
recommend one for me?
I don't want to spend too much time on this, but I recommended it to my

Apperently, and this is in no documentation that I can find,
the ide-scsi device does not work with multisession disks created
with cdrecord.....not entirely sure, but I seem to remember using
one created with EasyCD just fine...that would be really odd.
I put the disk in a different drive and it worked just fine...one

Anybody who is thinking of participating in this scam should take a look
at this website first:
http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/chainlet.htm
Since the U.S. Postal service gets into the act (you are supposed to
mail something, right?), this is relevant. The following quotation from
that site is particularly relevant:
"Do not be fooled if the chain letter is used to sell inexpensive
reports on credit, mail order sales, mailing lists, or other topics. The
primary purpose is to take your money, not to sell information.
"Selling" a product does not ensure legality. Be doubly suspicious if
there's a claim that the U.S. Postal Service or U.S. Postal Inspection
Service has declared the letter legal. This is said only to mislead you.
Neither the Postal Service nor Postal Inspectors give prior approval to
any chain letter."
Another good website:
http://www.stopspam.org/usenet/mmf/
Does this scheme somehow create money? No? But everybody who
participates gets out more than they put in. Everybody. Right!
People who play a state lottery know that, in order for one person to
win a million dollars, a million other people have to lose their
dollars. The numbers are different here, but the principle is the same.
Why do you suppose this individual is telling you how YOU can get
rich? Out of the goodness of his heart?

Which is why I often deliberately ignore questions which I could easily
answer when the questioner is clearly a "professional" (sneer quotes
intended) and the answer is one that a competent professional should know
or could easily find himself.

Something similar happened to me recently. I supect that you have
misdiagnosed the problem. BTW junkbuster is a http proxy that filters
cookies banner ads etc. I dont think that is your problem.
Try find . -name"*" that probably blocks too.
Try find . -name "*.gz" lots of junk looks like
xxx.1.gz.3.gz.2.gz.5.gz etc.
BTW does df tell you the file system is full, or is that simply a
system error.
If df tells you that a file system is not full and you get full errors
that tells you that you are running out of inodes ( exceeding the max
number of files permited on a partition ).
The way to fix this is pick some filename that appears in find . -name
"*.gz" for example mail/mail_errors.1.gz.2.gz.3.gz
and do:
find . -name "mail/mail_errors*"|xargs rm -f
go over several different files like this
( you can actually start several such command in different terminal
windows ). After a while, you should be able to do
find . -name "*.gz"|xargs rm -f
It should take a while.
After you are done get an upgraded version of logrotate.
A bug in it is what caused your problem.

Cool. Is there any information on interpreting these
results? I.e., how do I know if my systems are operating in
a normal range? (But first I guess I'd better ask, "what is
a normal range for such and such a configuration?")
Any tips or pointers to info would be greatly appreciated.

YES!!! You haven't followed the instructions properly.
Peter T. Breuer has been right. The problem is not pppd,
it's YOU. Setting up pap-secrets is REQUIRED. Kppp is just
a fancy frontend to pppd. It doesn't replace it. It
(basically) gives you a graphical dialog for input instead
of command line parameters. It just calls pppd with the
appropriate params. Now, go fix pap-secrets!

Actually it is capable of doing this, but only amoung Windows

Let me make it clear. When I say downtime, I mean my downtime.
I don't work as a system administrator, I work as a C++ programmer
( damn good one too top 1%-5%, how often do you meet a C++ programmer
who has actually read the standard, much less understood it ).
Any time I spend on system administration tasks is money out of my
pocket ( since I have little downtime ).
As for knowing the answer to this question ( btw you noticed someone
did say it is possible to "convert" an ext2 to ext3?) how do you know
that some program like this does not exist. Can you prove it?
Fact: you can only prove that such a program does exist or that YOU
can't find it. When I ask, I'm asking thousands and maybe, one person
has heard of a new program that is not yet widely "advertised". One
that would be hard to find.
