Perhaps it's just a SuSe thing, but shouldn't that read CTRL+ALT+Fx for
console switching?

Hi,
perhaps something like
strings /opt/netscape/netscape |grep lib |less
could give some hint where this NS-crashicator wants to have this lib you
obviously have
on your system. You could try copy/symlink it then.
Good luck

I hate brebuilt binaries. I have compiled to whole system from scratch and
will try to stick to it.
Right now I'm downloading another konqueror version. After that, I'll try
mozilla again. There's no point in downloading two packages the size of
mozilla at once over a dialup line... :-(

Don't start mixing up ssl and ssh. I know that ssh1 and ssh2 aren't quite
compatible. (ssh2 offers a compatibility mode though).
I don't know about openssl. Do you think it might be worth trying an older
version of openssl?

This is the day after tomorrow but I haven't done it. Sebastian Hans sais
it works without it and lynx works without it, too, so i figure that's
_not_ the problem.

It's not being routed, it's being masqueraded. Which works amazingly good.

When I'm using IE5, I _am_ on the same machine using the _same_ unroutable

as far as i know, *contemporary* greeks are mostly orthodox

i assume you mean the ancient greeks.

yes. different greeks at different times believed different things.
the later ancient greeks like plato, from whom we have some writings,
seemed to be skeptical towards their gods. however, i would guess
early greek culture might have taken them more seriously.

not quite. first, athesists come in many flavors. second, what you
see is what you see. most poeple would not say "everything is
knowable to man." the position is more like "we can know only what we
sense."

Yes it does. I just tried it against my own secure mail server using
an https URL. I have konquerer 1.9.8 under kde 2.0.1. It likely
came off the debian kde packages.
And under security in view, it even shows "Current connection is
secured with SSL", and gives the peer certificate.

Looks like you pinned it down to a problem with your build of

it appears that it does not work with version abouve rpm 3 but that is

I found pktsetup.c but I can't get it to compile. It wants a linux/packet.h

needed. Could someone please help me set this up?
Also, the directions use a scsi device as the arg to pktsetup.....but the site

Hi i am Nico.
One of my customers has bought a laser printer with the ethernet interface.
He asked to me if i can configure it as a network printer and i said yes.
I would like to ask if what i am thinking to do is right.
1) i edit /etc/hosts and i add the line with the printer's ip number and the
name i choosed.
2) i run printtool and choose remote printer
3}I digit the name of the que (for example pr1) and for the hostname i put

Is that enought and is right ???

The X server keeps a persistent database, and you can change, print,
and delete stuff from this database using the `xrdb' program.
If you still don't know where xrdb is called, you might have to get
out a sledge hammer:
find / -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep xrdb

Hey! I have a beard, and I'm not old! :-)
(Just because I can remember the VMS commands to compile FORTRAN and
COBOL programs back in the mid-80's......)

The US gov't spends about $54,000/second. I wish I could.

Subject: gnome workspace-next key?
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 18:29:43 GMT
Long-time CDE user on OSF, Solaris and others -- an essential feature I use
on CDE is to map favorite hotkeys to the workspace-next and
workspace-previous functions so I can easily flip around my workspaces.
Is there a way to do this in gnome? I've hunted through the default stuff
put under ~/.gnome* files and don't see anything promising, nor do I see
anything promising in the Gnome Users' Guide.
I'm certainly not wed to Gnome (yet), so if another window mgr is
better for me, please clue me in (w/o any religious arguments, mind
you).
Thanks,
Brandon

Anyone know how to use the rcmd api? When I use it,
I always get 'permission denied' from the remote site.
I am running my program as root, but setting the remote user
to a real user on the remote machine. The remote machine
has my machine in their hosts.equiv.
Any ideas?

Hi All,
OK, I've downloaded w3cam and finally unziped it and un-tar'ed it the manual
just says to run the config file then make the install file and then run the
CGI script. I clicked the config file and it did something, then in the
konsole (note spelling) I typed 'make install' and it returned an error.
There's no cgi file on my drive that I can find :o(
It's becoming obvious after 6 hours getting this far that I desperately need
to go on some kind of Linux for dummies training. Can anyone suggest a page
that starts at press the power button and goes on to explain the basics? My
system is already set up and running so I can skip the building of the
kernel bit.
Everything I've found so far assumes a basic knowledge of Linux with such
statements as 'install the file' but doesn't suggest HOW you 'install the
file' and the like.
As ever any suggestions appreciated.
Biker Bob
