I've created a fan site dedicated to the upcoming
"Indrema Entertainment System," a Linux-based game console with many
home entertainment features (DVD player, MP3 support, TiVo-like features).
Currently the site contains links to news articles about the Indrema
(more news than the Indrema itself has links to!), a collection of
notable mailing list comments from the Indrema staff (a useful addition
to the Indrema website's FAQs), and links to other
Indrema-related websites.

Konqueror runs quickly for me, EXCEPT for anything to do with Yahoo
(my.yahoo.com, mail.yahoo.com, etc)
What does Yahoo do to their site which bogs down Konqueror but not

Try temporarily commenting out the dlopen() related functions (other
than dlopen itself), e.g., dlerror(). There is a chance that those are
the functions actually causing a problem.

Robert,
SANE is made up of 3 packages
Did you install the SANE libs ?, change ld.so.conf (only if your SANE
installation isn't in a standard palce) and ran ldconfig afterwards as
root ?
Try: ldconfig -p | grep sane
to see if the loader knows about libsane*
A reboot is a crude option, too.

The terminator is getting power from the bus -- this is different from

It depends on what happens with the external devices and how they are
wired. I am not really sure what a non-terminating Zip drive does WRT
its two connectors when it is powered off. This *may* cause problems.
If you have mounted partitions on the hard drive and it is powered down,
the system won't be happy.

Yes, it surely can. But I've never had pppd not be able to reopen a
device file that it closed (in the way that it usually closes it).

You also might get the latest stty program which has a new option, "-F
<device_filename>," to overcome the "uncommunicative state" in which pppd
leaves the device file (pppd disables the device file parameter clocal).
The standard input redirection "stty -a < /dev/ttySx" didn't, and likely
still doesn't, work after pppd finishes.

It may not be as weird as you might think. Before updetach came
along doing this was a way of getting messages sent to the terminal
while freeing the terminal for other use.
Relative to the speed, while minicom will set the speed, pppd will
reset it. The device file always has some speed setting, which is
often changed by programs that use the device file.

Subject: Netscape 6.01 still crashes !
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 00:48:13 GMT
I tolerated Netscape 6.0 because there wasn't anything else out there.
I was elated to see Netscape 6.01, with claims that bugs have been ironed
out and that it won't crash. To my dismay, I find Netscape 6.01 to be as
buggy as 6.0, if not more so. The biggest problem Netscape has is with
Java-enhanced web sites; unfortunate to Netscape, some of the better web
sites are heavily Java enhanced. As more and more web sites become
Java-enhanced, Netscape is quickly becoming less and less important.
I'm currently using RedHat 7.0 and KDE 2.0.1.
Konquerer doesn't have embedded Java virtual machine, as Netscape.
Unfortunately, currently, Konquerer is not compatible with Sun's latest
Java VM 1.3. Sun's Java 1.2.2 is compatible with the current Korquerer,
but not with RedHat 7.0. So, as you can see, RedHat 7.0 and Konquerer is
not a good combination for browsing Java-enhanced web sites. Use IBM's
Java? I tried it, but it didn't work!

Some atheists don't. It's a complete non-issue, much like some
Xian just takes it for granted that Loki doesn't exist or most
adults take it for granted that the Easter Bunny and Tooth
Fairy don't exist and that Bugs Bunny is a fictional character.

Are you using the Debian packages or the source from ftp.kernel.org (or it's
mirrors)?? I'm running Debian potato and had no problems compiling 2.4.0.
I'm certainly no expert on this, but I'd make sure that your /usr/src/linux
symbolic link is pointing to the correct source tree. (i.e.
/usr/src/linux-2.4.1 or whatever directory it's in)

I would think that any gcc version >= 2.91 should work just fine. My
potato system has gcc 2.95.2, which as I said, had no trouble compiling
2.4.0 - however, I haven't yet tried it with 2.4.1.

I haven't heard of any security issues with 2.2.16 either - you might want
to read about the exploits on RH's web site. However, if you compile your own
kernel, I doubt that these exploits apply to you.
In any case, I try to keep my kernel relatively up to date - so my suggestion
would be to roll your own 2.2.18, or better yet, 2.4.1 - unless you don't
like being on the bleeding edge.

Outside of what everyone else has suggested the only thing I'd add would be
install the old kernel souce and take a look at the old Makefile using
Xconfig. That way you'll have a good ideal of what you want in the kernel
and what you don't. That is unless you've got an ideal already. (I'm making
an assumption that you haven't upgraded a kernel before. :)

Basically, you are saying that you don't know. The question was, how do I tell,
if a program was linked with 2.1.3 or 2.1.2 or 2.0.5, etc. There's probably no
way to tell this.

This is not true. All three were officially released.

Subject: Copying from Gnome Terminal w. PS2 mouse?
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 01:48:04 GMT
I'm running RH6.2 with a Helix Gnome update from a few months back.
Occasionally I wish to copy stuff from the Gnome Terminal to a text
editor (usually Gedit or whatever). I can highlight a line with the
mouse (left button), but obviously I can't use Ctrl-C to put it in the
copy buffer (that being a different terminal command in itself) and
paste it to the editor with Ctrl-V.
The docs say that the left button will automatically place anything
highlighted with the left-button into the copy buffer to be pasted,
but only with a standard 3-button mouse. Is there any workaround for
a 2-button PS2 mouse for this? Thanks.

Yes, but in the middle of a session, after the modem has already opened
a line to the far machine, I would not like to be playing around with
the speed of the computer to modem connection. At best this will work,
at worst it will totally confuse the modem, and cause it to drop the
connection.
As far as I recall, pppd will simply use the current speed of the serial
line if you do not give it a speed option, which is probably what you
want it to do.
