Using ps -fu $USER reveals that I've lots of pts used, but who only
gives me one tty. Can I direct the messages to a pts device instead
of tty? (Solaris allows me to do that)

The "--directory=DIR" argument applies to all following files until the
next such directory-changing argument, so you don't need to keep
repeating it with each file (though it is easier to script). But as
long as you are not generating excessively long command lines, you may
not want to change a working script.

don't even think about trying to match all those dependencies. THey are
probably dependencies that programs on your current system need. DO
what I did and get the sources, compile them -- make sure you change all
the configure scripts to have -O3 instead of -O2. THis makes the result
much faster, which I learned from experience.

Subject: Reruning RedHat installation scripts - How?
Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2001 18:05:36 GMT
I'm replacing the video card in my linux machine.
RedHat 7.0
old card S3 Virge,
new card ATI Xpert 128.
I'd like to simply "rerun" the portion of RH7.0s installation that goes
through the configuration of video.
I'm also moving from a ISA version of the Creative Sound Blaster 16, to
the PCI version....
What's the best way to configure it?

Is it? So all the greek gods weren't gods then? Because they all originated
from some other higher power... And then THAT higher power had an ancestry

They same could be said for almost every pantheistic religion out there.

Hello, I am having a problem with apache that I am quite certain anyone
that knows the software could help me with as I just started using it a
bout two weeks ago. I had my Serverroot location working with no
problems whatsoever so I started setting up the system for Userdirs. I
can access the HTML in the individual public_html dir and pull up the

http://my.ip.address/~user. The problem is, that noone else can from an
external source. My perms on the home directories and the files in the
public_html dir are rwxr-xr-x. I am not familiar enough yet with all of
the variables in conf to know if I may have to change one small detail
that makes this function properly and cannot find anything specific in
the How-to or the man pages. Below are the parts of conf that I believe are
relevant. If you need to see more, please mail me and I will respond

Suppose you have an entry
emacs.geometry: 3x4+10+20
in your ~/.Xdefaults file. Then "emacs" will use it, but "emacs-20.7"
will not.
I use "Emacs.geometry" rather than "emacs.geometry", then all instance
of Emacs use the entry, rather than just the ones called with the
"emacs" command.
Do "xrdb -query" for a list of all resources in the X server, do
"appres Emacs" and "appres emacs" for further lists of resources.
Does this help?

This question comes up every few days.
There is even a 6-section FAQ that is posted every week to this

Here's better advice: don't bother with /etc/services, just leave it
the way it is. Didn't you see the bit in the Security-HOWTO that said
"It's usually not worth the trouble to remove services, since it provides no
additional security"?
If you do 'man services', you'll see that the man page says that
/etc/services is used to convert from service names to port numbers.
THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE. It's there purely so you can say "telnet
foo.bar.com qotd" instead of "telnet foo.bar.com 17". If you ask me, that line
should be removed from the HOWTO since it's got absolutely nothing to do
with security.

Look at /etc/inittab. You need to specify a different default
runlevel - specifically, the one that starts up X and a display manager.
This is 4 on Slackware; don't know if it's the same across all

A useful hint (as it is something of a pain when the system won't
boot properly because something is wrong and then won't let you change
anything to fix it...): mount -o remount,rw /
Remounts the filesystem read-write, invisibly to any processes already
running. Very handy.

Subject: qt programs compiling

I found some sample source files in the trolltech website, so I tried to

that it can't find header files such as qapplication.h ... even if qt and
qt-devel packages are correctly installed.
Thanks a lot in advance
