Hello Michel,
Are you a super fast typist? Don't you ever stop to scratch you head
because the problem is a little baffling. 110 baud was quite adequate
for SERIOUS programmers. We used BRAINS in the old days not FANCY
GUIs.

You more or less provided a solution yourself: Enclose the name in quotes.
But ... if you use single quotes (apostrophes), you can access filenames
with dollar-signs ($) too -- otherwise the dollar-sign is taken by your
shell to be the start of a variable, or some such.
You could, of course, escape the space character with a backslash, but you
would have to escape each individual special character -- the single quotes
handles spaces, tabulators, dollar-signs, backslashes (OK, I know they are
not allowed in Windows names as such), and whatever in one fell swoop.

Hello Grant,
The paged memory was fixed up in the PDP-10. Networking we did have
and we had some other things I have yet to see on todays personal
computers. Why would one want a dozen different file systems? At the
end of the day it all ends up as blocks of bytes on a disk or similar
if you use RAM-DISK. Any machine will support any file structure if
you set it up. However if you are multi-tasking you must preserve some
discipline so as not to destroy the data belonging to another job. Yes
I know in today's sloppy youth DISCIPLINE is a NO-NO!!

Hello Jean-David,
The PDP-6 had multiported memory which meant that one did not have to
ask the processor for memory access. The memory ports were prioritized
so the device with the highest real-time needs was connected to the
highest priority memory port. Did it matter if the processor had to
take the second port? NO not a jot.

If I install Linux & FreeBSD on the same computer, will there be a problem?
Will each know where to go for the swap partition, and will they be able to
find their own root partitions?

You cannot unmount a filesystem (i.e. a CD or ZIP-disk here) if there are
files (or directories) open on the filesystem. The open files may be due to
running programs (daemons, background jobs, ...) or to a shell (OK, that's a
running program too) with its current directory in the filesystem.
To find all programs with open files with the corresponding open files (and
directories) on a filesystem mounted as (say) /mnt/cdrom, use the command:
lsof +d /mnt/cdrom
Look for the offending program(s) listed in the first column of the output
(truncated to nine characters on my system) -- kill them or cd to another
directory not in the filesystem (for shells).

Hello Folks,
I am not specifically condemning LINUX as such. I am wondering if
LINUX was written in assembly language by a COMPETENT assembly
language programmer(the likes of which I have not seen for a long
time) would it be a lot smaller and faster. Putting all ones faith in
the author of the C compiler in my view is not good software
engineering. It simply CANNOT be proved that the compiled code is the
tightest and fastest that can be produced. My experience with high
level language compilers is that they are ALWAYS inefficient. I write
assembly language code for my PC and the .COM files are always VERY
SMALL, amazingly so sometimes. "Get last disk" uses just 651 bytes!!
Try that in C and see how many bytes it takes.

Hey !
after compiling 2.4.1, when i run wvdial 1.41 to connect to my ISP i get
disconnected
after the modem CONNECT signal.
wvdial says it's a pppd error code = 1
and i can find in /var/log/messages the following error:
Feb 17 21:57:16 darkstar pppd[503]: ioctl(PPPIOCGFLAGS): Invalid
argument
i don't know at all what does this mean.
attached is my /usr/src/linux/.config file if you wanna look.
thanks for your help!

Subject: dpms problem and power saving
Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 15:28:17 -0800
Hi,
I am having problem using dpms on my intel P166 running RH7.0. I use
xset dpms force suspend
to turn the monitor (a Panasonic S17) into suspend mode. Initially
everything is fine, the backlight of the monitor is turned off and I can
see its LED turns into yellow. But after some amount of time (10
minutes or so, I never know the exact amount of time) it came back on by
itself, stay on for a while and then back to suspend. This goes on and
on.
I am not sure whether it is a hardware problem or software problem.
The power saving works fine under windows 98. I noticed that if I
suspend the the whole system with "apm -s", then this on-and-off problem
wouldn't occur.
Does someone have a solution to this problem? any help will be
appreciated.
Lupei

When I ran Redhat 6.2, I enabled that feature by adding 'md5' to the
last line in /etc/pam.d/passwd. Later distributions allowed me to
enable it during the install. Massive overkill in my case.
I later learned that this used an 8+8 scheme which will not
withstand a sophisticated attack; still it will deter all but
the most persistent.
You must have children.

you need ppp-2.4 which has a very simple installation and should work
immediately.
