1. change how often NS check fo r newer versions.
edit/preferences/advanced/cache/
set document is compared to cache to once per session.
2. if you are submitting forms or going back to a site that placed a
cookie, sometimes the cookie expires or the data is missing from a
form that you entered, thus the data missing error.
just start back at the beginning of that page.
also in secure web sites, sometimes you cannot go back, you can only
go forward or start over.

Yes, it's a very good idea to run updatedb at least once a day, IMHO.
However, updating has not got much to do with the distribution. Any root
user (or even others) can set up cron to run the job at a suitable time.
Updatedb does not take very long and does not stop other jobs from
running tho' it does slow them some.

Hi -
Because of some recent security advisories, I upgraded the version of
qpopper I'd been running as a pop3 mail app on my RH 6.0 box from
2.5.3 to 3.1.2. The compile went fine, and it seems to work 95% of the
time, be periodically when I try to connect I get a message that 'no
buffer space is available'. Never happened before (on the exact same
system - the only change was the move from 2.5.3 -> 3.1.2). Any
ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

It's no use telling the point-n-click crowd this. I've been
trying for years. They don't understand content-based mark-up.
The only thing that exists in their mind is pixels on a screen.
No matter how many times you explain it, they're still baffled
when the all-singing, all-dancing, technicolor, cinimascape,
content-free, web page they lovingly designed looks wrong at a
different resolution, with a different browser, or *god-forbid*

I'm dead sure you are mistaken. What you are trying to do is, to copy
filename.txt over the device entry. Doesn't work for a user. Destroys
the device entry as root (just don't work as root). To copy the file
you must mount the the floppy, by hand or automatically (see autofs).

How to put LILO in 1st sector of boot partition ?
When I installed RedHat 7, I was given the option to put LILO boot
record on the MBR (Master Boot Record) or the first sector of the boot
partition. I chose to put the LILO on the first sector of the boot
partition. This setup worked great for triple boot with Win2K &
Win98SE; I gave control to NT Loader.
How do you do this is Mandrake? Mandrake gives you an option between
LILO and Grub, but doesn't allow you to specify the location. LILO was
put in the MBR, and I'm not happy with that.
If you know how to put LILO in the first sector of the boot partition in
Mandrake, please share.
Thanks.

bash2 is a different command than bash. The bash2 rpm will
not overwrite bash. It's simply one more shell, like tcsh or
pdksh, you now have available.
If bash is your default shell, simply type 'bash2' at the command
line to use it.

And thus the root of the binding of church and state. While its quite alright
to make laws about morality, it is plainly NOT alright to make laws about
CHRISTIAN morality uniquely.

Hi,
In Windows, programs are able to communicate with other programs'
graphical widgets through the API. For example, if say Microsoft Word
is open, I can make my program type something into Word's buffer and
then press the save button. However, since in Linux there are many GUIs
(vanilla X, X + GNOME, X + KDE) is this really possible to do? I don't
recall seeing any Xlib functions to do something like this.
Thanks,

Indeed, and im glad you brought up this difference.
Gates is exactly the sort of person who would have been up against a wall
during WWII in germany.
Thus, the interesting comparison of Gates and hitler; they surely would
have despised eachother and Gates would have probably ended up dead right
quick.
Note that this does not make hitler into anything except what he actually
was; a syphallis-ridden homocidal maniac.
