I agree this is probably a graphics problem. One of my Linux readmes is
telling to add the "noaccel" option to the graphics device listing in
XF86Config file. Problem is i cant see it in Gnome file manager as clicking
the scroll arrows produces display corruption making it impossible to work.
Im thinking of running setup again and configuring the X by custom setup.
How do i run Xconfigurator? If this is GUI this is no help. YOu think
running setup again will work?
TIA

I don't know where what area you're from or if your DSL offering is
magically different but I am from BC, Canada and just set up a Linux box to
run with DSL (from the only DSL supplier here, "Telus"). There is nothing to
it. They plug a black box into the wall with an ethernet port built into it
(it is a 3com Homeconnect box). Then you put a cable between your Linux
box's NIC card and the ISP's magical black box. Now you are connected to the
internet! I don't know if their black box is 10mbps-only, or 10/100 mbps, so
to be on the safe side I put a Linksys 10/100 ethernet card in the Linux
box - works great.
Now, here is the only thing that you should need to do to make your Linux
box usable for the internet: you must configure it to use DHCP to get an IP
address and nameservers rather than the hardcoded static IP stuff you
previously had in your box. To do so, edit the file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (assuming your NIC card is
interface eth0) and ensure it includes the following:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

Tom

Do a web search for xhfs. This program has Mac hfs utilities that allow
you to mount and write to Mac disks including hardrives if you want.

Just what the error says the above mentioned lib files are missing. You
probably have more recent versions of these lib files. If this is the
case you can try and make a link from the new lib files to the old ones.
Got to the directory where the lib files are and in my case I would type
'ln -s libgtk-1.2.so.0.5.3 libgtk.so.1'. Then type ldconfig after all
the links are made.

Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 15:03:22 +0100
hello,
i have a problem configuring the ipxtund daemon. I want to use is to talk to
IP novell servers in combination with the ncpfs package.
When I try to start the daemon I get the error:
bind(ed0): no such device
TERMINATED: initialisation failed
I have configured the device ed0 in ipxtund.conf and gave it the MAC address
of my lancard (eth0). Do I have to create the device under /dev of
something? Or how is this ed0 created?
Maybe someone knows of a simpler way to talk to IP novell netware servers?
By the way IPX is not enabled on those servers. IPX is however enabled on my
machine that is trying to connect to the novell servers.

Subject: syslogd/logger: my own facilities?
Hi!
Is it possible to add your own facilities in syslogd?
I want to use logger to maintain my own log - ie I need
a new facility, something like:
mynotes.* ~/NOTES
in etc/syslog.conf
this doesn't seem to work though! Any ideas?
I just need a way to do from the shell:
some-program blah-blah blah and other notes
and "some-program" should just append the message to a
prespecified file with a time/date tag, just as
/var/log/messages is. (It should be very easy to implement
in shell-scripting; I just don't know much about that and
C seems too much for such an easy task!)

I have just installed mandrake 7.2 and i get these errors on all my terminal

I have indeed only one networkcard in my system 'eth0'. No eth1 is
configured in /etc/modules.conf
I simply renamed the script: S46heartbeat to K46heartbeat, but I would like
to know what the real problem is...
At boot time I've noticed that I get another error that has to do with NIS
authentication. In the installation procedure I didn't select NIS however.
How can I disable NIS?
Hope someone can solve my probs.

then switch to a none X console:
ctrl-alt-(F1 to F6)
ctrl-alt-F7 will bring you back to X
Don't have X running when you configure it, start in runlevel 3

Im a long time mutt user but am checking out sylpheed now. It does multiple
accounts, mime, has a pretty functional interface, and after some years of
mutting, its nice to have a GUI tool which I can use. Long ago, during my
OS/2 years, I used a few very nice OS/2 mail clients like MR2ice and PMMail.
I also use The_BAT when using win98. This one is pretty nice and the

B) Reinstall the files in the Linux partition. VMWare allows the use
of "raw disks" (i.e. booting the actual partition), but Win4Lin
operates differently. Win4Lin will require you to install all files
from the CD (and a boot floppy) onto the Linux partition as root, then
from this special install image the individual user accounts will each do
individual installations in a manner that resembles the way individual
Windows PC's do Windows installs. The advantage (or disadvantage --I'm
not sure which it is) is that Windows runs in Win4Lin without su root,
and that both the user account's individual windows install has full and direct
access to the files of the user's home directory, and the user's Linux
apps have full access to the windows files being used. (In VMWare, the
emulated windows box and the user's Linux apps talk to each other as
though they were separate hosts on a network, with SAMBA and the whole
nine yards). With Win4Lin, with a Windows window running, say one needs
to download a batch of data for the Windows app you are using, you may
simply use your favorite Linux client and download the data to whatever
directory you wish, and windows and your open windows app simply sees it
and uses it. IN VMWare, unless you had booted Windows from a raw disk that
Linux can write to, you would have to send the data over the "network"
to your Windows virtual machine.
The downside is, just like inviting the devil into your house, the windows
you install in your user home Linux directory is now just as capable of
torching files there as it would be on its own machine. Your Linux user
space is now subject to Windows level of reliability, so be cautious.
On a tangential note: if you buy Win4Lin, you may wish to buy it from
NeTraverse itself directly. NeTraverse seems to have such difficulty in
keeping track of the product ID numbers it assigns, that they decline to
honor their upgrade policy directly if a Win4Lin CD was purchased
through a reseller. If your reseller has dotcommed into oblivion or
has ceased to sell Win4Lin, you may be out the price of another license.
So caveat emptor ... but a good product, all in all, for what it does.
Cheers,
--Kevin

Syslogd is the "system" loggin daemon and it's actions are controlled by
/etc/syslog.conf. If you want to change the way syslogd operates or
where it logs to that is the file to edit. /var/log is just where
syslogd logs it's messages according to /etc/syslog.conf, but you could
write anything that would send and append messages to any of those
files. They do not only allow syslogd to write to them. How you choose
to do that would mainly depend on your app (cat, redirect, appending,
piping, etc.). The syntax to /etc/syslog.conf is pretty straightforward
though so take a look at it and see if what you want to do is covered in
there.

A lot of the traffic in this thread that dismisses the idea of a WYSIWYG web
page design tool cite the poor quality of the code that these tools generate. I
think it's inescapable that we will see progressively more code on the web that
comes from these kinds of tools. Wouldn't it be best for all concerned if there
were a graphical tool that produced correct code?
If this is such an impossible technical challenge, perhaps the tool could
implement only those features that do lend themselves to easy, correct
generation?

Turn off heartbeat, NIS, http, smtp, telnet, any services that you
aren't PROVIDING to another box. Easiest way in 7.2 to do that is go to
DrakConf>Startup Services. After that see what happens when you reboot,
then start checkig configuration and turning any "needed" back on (but
you will find most of those you will never need) and see how your system
reacts. That way you are fixing one problem at a time.
